West Hollywood remodel & ADU paths
West Hollywood has its own digital building review and ADU guidance. Establish the building’s existing configuration before picking a unit type.
Review authority
City of West Hollywood
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.
Where work affects several rooms, align drawings for layout, systems and any structural work before the electronic plan-check submission. Ask Building and Safety what constitutes a complete package for the proposed scope.
Consider an ADU
Compare options after reviewing the site.
The city distinguishes new detached or attached units from conversions of existing space and JADUs. For a garage, verify the shell and access first; for a new unit, assess site space and service connections.

A local question
Is a garage conversion the same submission as a detached ADU?
No assumption is safe. The city describes distinct configurations; confirm the project-specific submittal with its Building and Safety team.
