PARKING REQUIREMENTS

Parking requirements are an important consideration for homeowners looking to build an ADU in San Diego. The city requires that all ADUs have at least one off-street parking space. However, Enete Studio can help homeowners navigate this requirement by exploring potential exceptions to the rule. For instance, if the ADU is located within a half-mile of public transit, homeowners may be able to obtain a waiver of the parking requirement. Similarly, if the property is located in a historic district or in an area with limited on-street parking, the city may waive the requirement for off-street parking. Enete Studio can work with homeowners to identify these exceptions and ensure that their ADU meets all parking requirements.

In addition to the minimum parking requirement, homeowners should also consider whether additional parking is necessary for their ADU. For example, if the ADU will be rented out to tenants, it may be beneficial to provide additional parking spaces to accommodate their vehicles. Alternatively, if the ADU is designed as a guest house or in-law suite, additional parking may not be as necessary. Enete Studio can help homeowners assess their parking needs and design an ADU that provides adequate parking for their unique situation. By taking into account both the minimum parking requirement and any additional parking needs, Enete Studio can help homeowners design an ADU that is both functional and compliant with city regulations.
