This Concord page summarizes source-backed pre-approved ADU plan listings for Concord, California, using official records tied to City of Concord, www.cityofconcord.org, and RRM Design Group. The current public dataset lists 12 accepted plans from 2 providers; provider names include City of Concord ADU Program and RRM Design Group. The accepted listings are tied to the local Concord program. Plan records cover 205 to 874 sq ft and studio to 2 bedrooms where those fields were listed by the source.

Permit and fee context is kept separate from plan acceptance. The public dataset includes 21 permit requirement records and 14 fee records for Concord. Permit requirement records include Site-specific site plan review, Planning consultation, and others. Fee records include City-provided plan purchase or license fee, Site-specific plan review, and others. When a source did not publish a value, the page keeps that field as Not listed in source instead of filling a blank.

Use these listings as a starting point for matching a plan to a property. Source links, checked dates, acceptance notes, and provider records are shown so you can verify whether a plan remains accepted locally, what site-specific review remains, and whether local fees, plan licensing, or provider terms apply. A listing in this directory does not guarantee permit approval for a specific parcel.
