Developing a program to increase ADU development in the City of South Gate
We have partnered with the City of South Gate to design a聽Permit Ready ADU Program聽that offers South Gate property owners a selection of free ADU Plans that have gone through part of the Plan Check process and are eligible for expedited permit approval.聽Participating homeowners benefit from reduced pre-development costs, a streamlined design, and expedited permitting process.
In an effort to greatly increase the public鈥檚 awareness and understanding of ADUs, we are also leading an ADU Education Initiative that will engage residents with clear and accessible educational documents that explain the process of designing, permitting, and building an ADU.
Our goal is to develop an ADU program that reduces project costs and permitting timelines to nudge financially capable property owners to start their ADU projects. We aim to increase the number of approved ADU permits by clarifying the permitting process and empowering residents who are interested in ADU development to be well-prepared to initiate their own projects.
To be able to implement this program, we have developed a set of聽ADU Designs and Prototypes聽that celebrate the diversity of South Gate鈥檚 existing housing stock and combine a range of different architectural styles.
