Burbank: draw the sequence first
Burbank has its own Community Development and ADU resources. Match a proposed layout to the existing building record and site before selecting an application path.
Review authority
City of Burbank
Rules and approvals depend on address and scope. This is general education, not a parcel determination.
Think in whole-home terms
Sequence matters as much as design.
Identify which interior walls, electrical runs and mechanical systems change. If exterior work is proposed, ask Burbank which drawings and planning checks belong in the same submittal.
Consider an ADU
Compare options after reviewing the site.
Compare conversion space with yard construction using measured access and existing services. Burbank’s ADU resource is the starting point for the applicable local submission, not a parcel approval.

A local question
Is an existing garage automatically suitable for an ADU?
No. Document its condition, dimensions and service connections, then ask Burbank which building review applies.
