Homeowner Story: Generate rental income
Video TourThis spacious, L-shaped backyard ADU was built for a family in Vista, California, looking to generate passive income. With plenty of space in their back yard for an ADU, they were able to create a separate entrance for the unit, fenced off from the main home for privacy. The 1000 sqft ADU home features 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with an open-concept kitchen and living space with separate office / dining area.
Floor Plan:
2BR/2BA 36×31 L-Shape
Ideal for a family or as a rental option, this two bedroom two bath 999 sqft unit includes two suites with walk-in closets. A spacious living area offers options for adding an office space, dining room, or separate living area outside of the main kitchen space. Add a larger kitchen or island to this plan, or customize any of the door and window locations or styles. You could add a slider and covered living space to create a back patio as well.

The Vista ADU Guide
SnapADU has permitted numerous projects within the city, and we know Vista’s regulations and processes very well. Turnaround times at the city are extremely fast. But homeowners should anticipate higher permit fees (closer to $16-20/sqft for larger units), as plan check, building permit, and impact fees are not waived for ADUs >750 sqft (impact fees will be proportional to the size of the primary dwelling). To balance this, Vista does offer a fee waiver program for qualified ADUs (either for caregivers or low income).
Vista requires in-person submissions which does add some processing expense. Also, soils reports are generally required for ADUs, as well as storm water mitigation.
