Berkeley Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance Summary

Due to state legislations, all cities and towns in California must update their ADU regulations to comply with the state laws. We do a lot of ADU projects in Berkeley, CA and have been following the code updates closely. The downloadable PDF linked below outlines all of the Berkeley ADU Ordinances and the various regulations that affect the allowable size, number, usage, and setback that regulate this project type.

For anyone considering adding an ADU, be it an internal JADU, a detached ADU, or a conversion of a garage or basement into an accessory dwelling unit, this document is a great place to start. We are also happy to discuss your goals and ideas and help answer any questions you may have. You can schedule a free call on our contact page and a member of our team will reach out.
