Real completed Vision ADU projects in Los Angeles County
As part of the City of Los Angeles, Northridge ADUs are approved ministerially, so no public hearing or discretionary review is required. LA offers a Standard Plan Program of pre-reviewed ADU designs that can shorten the timeline, and homes within a half mile of major transit are exempt from added parking. Vision ADU prepares the drawings, submits through LADBS, and manages any plan-check corrections. City fees vary by the size and scope of the project, and we provide a written estimate up front (an estimate only, not a guarantee).
