Studio City ADU Permits

As part of the City of Los Angeles, Studio City 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).
