Dedicated to Excellence
Plan an ADU around your La Verne property
Start with the property
For a La Verne homeowner, an ADU concept should show both the proposed living area and what remains around it. Preserve a clear route to entrances and services, and decide how much outdoor area each household will use. That site-level thinking helps prevent a floor plan from solving one problem while creating another.
Local planning considerations
Bring any existing building drawings and identify alterations that may not appear on them. The first review should distinguish information that is confirmed from assumptions that need measurement or investigation. That record becomes useful when the design, engineering, and construction scopes are compared.
Can I start a La Verne ADU discussion without existing plans?
Yes. Share the address, photographs, and a description of the intended use. Existing plans are useful if available. A proposal should explain what measurement, record research, or other investigation is needed before detailed design can move forward.
Planning with City of La Verne
Use the La Verne property address to establish jurisdiction before choosing a plan. Bring any existing building drawings and identify alterations that may not appear on them. The first review should distinguish information that is confirmed from assumptions that need measurement or investigation. That record becomes useful when the design, engineering, and construction scopes are compared.

Everything you need to know about La Verne ADUs
Get clear, expert answers to your most pressing questions about building an ADU in La Verne. From local regulations to design and construction, we simplify the process so you can build with confidence.
Yes. Share the address, photographs, and a description of the intended use. Existing plans are useful if available. A proposal should explain what measurement, record research, or other investigation is needed before detailed design can move forward.
Start with City of La Verne and confirm jurisdiction using the property address and parcel. Identify required planning, building, utility, and other approvals before treating a concept as a complete submission.
Share the plan source, file formats, permission to use it, and any approvals. We can discuss site suitability and the work needed to develop or adapt it. A concept, catalog plan, and approved construction set are different deliverables.
Provide the address, photographs, existing plans or permits if available, household needs, budget priorities, and preferred timing. Explain which decisions are settled and which options you want to compare.
Discuss the intended use before developing the layout. Privacy, circulation, storage, laundry, maintenance, and future household needs influence the design. Rental income or future property value should not be treated as guaranteed.
The proposal should identify the actual services, deliverables, involved professionals, and responsibilities. Design-only work and construction are different scopes; permitting and specialist inputs also need to be defined.
- Maximum Size: Detached ADUs can be up to 1,200 sq. ft. or 50% of the existing home’s size; attached ADUs and JADUs are limited to 500 sq. ft.
- Setbacks: ADUs require a minimum 4-foot setback from side and rear property lines. Detached ADUs over garages must have a 5-foot setback from side and rear lot lines.
- Height Restrictions: Two-story ADUs are allowed only if the primary home is two stories; otherwise, ADUs are limited to 16 feet in height.
- Building Separation: Detached ADUs must be at least 10 feet from the main residence.
- Permitting Process: La Verne requires in-person plan submissions, and certain projects may need soil reports and stormwater mitigation plans.
- Coastal Zone: Unlike some nearby areas, La Verne does not require Coastal Development Permits for ADUs.
The proposal should identify the actual services, deliverables, involved professionals, and responsibilities. Design-only work and construction are different scopes; permitting and specialist inputs also need to be defined.
