West Hollywood / ADU construction

ADU construction in West Hollywood

West Hollywood publishes ADU general information as part of a pre-approved ADU program. A pre-approved plan can shorten design questions, but it still has to fit your lot's access, utilities and structures.

01

What shapes this work here

Pre-approved is a starting design

A pre-approved plan addresses the building design; site work, foundation, utility connections and placement still depend on your lot.

Configuration choices

The City's ADU information describes definitions and configurations. Pick the one that matches the lot before choosing a plan.

Narrow access

Narrow side yards are common; they limit equipment and can favor a conversion or a smaller footprint.

02

First steps in this city

  1. 01

    Read the City's ADU information

    Note definitions, configurations and the pre-approved program.

  2. 02

    Measure side yards and access

    The narrowest point sets what equipment fits.

  3. 03

    Compare a pre-approved plan with the site

    List what the plan covers and what site work it doesn't.

  4. 04

    Ask Building and Safety

    Confirm the submittal route for your chosen path.

03

What the scope usually covers

  • Site access, staging and protection of the main house
  • New foundation, or evaluation of an existing slab and shell
  • Utility routes from the main service to the unit
  • Interior build-out, final inspections and handover documents
  • Site-specific work a pre-approved plan does not cover: placement, foundation, utility runs
04

Bring to the first conversation

  • Property address
  • Site sketch with structures, trees and utility locations
  • Intended use of the unit
  • Photos of the garage interior and slab if converting
  • Narrowest side-yard width and photos of the route

Questions homeowners ask

Does a pre-approved ADU plan mean no review?
No. The site, foundation and connections are still reviewed; the City explains what the program covers.
Can KB build a West Hollywood pre-approved ADU?
KB builds ADUs; ask the office about using a specific pre-approved plan on your lot.
