In addition to meeting the eligibility requirements for ADU construction, homeowners in San Diego must also comply with size and location requirements. The size of the ADU cannot exceed 1,200 square feet and must be smaller than the primary residence on the property.

 

These size restrictions ensure that ADUs do not become overly large or disruptive to the surrounding neighborhood. Enete Studio can assist homeowners in designing an ADU that maximizes space and functionality within these size limits, while also incorporating features that meet the homeowner's specific needs.

​

Location is also an important factor in the ADU permitting process. ADUs must be located on the same lot as the primary residence and cannot be used as short-term vacation rentals. This means that homeowners cannot rent out their ADU for less than 30 days at a time, in order to ensure that the units are used for long-term housing. Enete Studio can help homeowners design an ADU that is situated on their property in the most optimal location while also complying with all location requirements.

​

Overall, the size and location requirements for ADUs in San Diego are designed to ensure that these units provide valuable additional housing options without disrupting the surrounding community. Enete Studio has the expertise to help homeowners navigate the permitting process and design an ADU that meets all size and location requirements while also being functional, beautiful, and tailored to the homeowner's unique needs.
