Additional notes
County Public Works says county-owned plans are free to the public and still require an approved site-specific plot plan, site-specific Title 24 energy calculations, and agency referral items. The County Planning catalog page also states standard ADU plans need updates for 2026 building code requirements. PDF limitations state the standard plan does not apply to hillside properties, very high fire hazard severity zones, geologic hazard zones, methane gas hazard zones, flood hazard zones, restricted use areas, septic tank areas, or enforcement cases. County Public Works landing page summarizes Plan A as 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, but the official PDF floor plan shows two bathroom areas; bathroom count in this database follows the PDF.
