GOLETA, CA, November 12, 2024 – The City of Goleta wants to remind design professionals in our community that time is running out to submit Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) plans to be considered for preapproval. Submissions are being accepted through noon on Monday, November 18th. This reminder is in reference to Assembly Bill No. 1332, which requires each local agency to develop a program for the preapproval of ADU plans by January 1, 2025.
An ADU is an attached or a detached residential dwelling unit that provides complete, independent living facilities for one or more persons and is located on a lot with a proposed or existing primary residence. ADUs include permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation on the same parcel as a single-unit or multi-family dwelling.
