Coastal Zone ADU Considerations

When building an ADU in the coastal zone, special considerations apply:

  • ADUs in the coastal zone typically require a Coastal Development Permit
  • Local Coastal Program (LCP) regulations may have specific ADU provisions
  • Visual impact analysis may be required to ensure views are not impacted
  • Setbacks from sensitive environmental areas must be maintained
  • Parking requirements may differ from standard state ADU laws
