La Mesa PRADU Plan D: 2 Bedroom, 990 sq ft
Pre-approved in La Mesa, not in Los Angeles. Building it in Los Angeles would need the city's full plan review.

Shortest distance from the unit to each controlling line, from the county parcel map. Good to a foot or two; not a survey.

Setbacks
This site plan is for preliminary planning only. Setback data is based on general municipal guidelines and may not reflect site-specific conditions, easements, or recent zoning changes. Always consult with a licensed professional before proceeding.
3D Site View
The ADU at your chosen placement alongside the existing structures on the lot. The navy outline marks the lot boundary; the gray outline marks the buildable area inside the setbacks. Move or rotate the ADU above and the 3D view follows.

Some West LA and Studio City pockets are unincorporated LA County. Confirm your jurisdiction with the local building department if you are near a boundary.
Estimated Build Cost Range
Based on square footage and regional construction averages
This range is a speculative estimate based on typical construction costs where this plan is approved, including design, permits and fees, and on the plan's size. Smaller ADUs cost more per square foot, because a kitchen, a bathroom and utility connections cost about the same at any size. It does not account for site conditions or material selections. Actual costs must be validated with a licensed general contractor or the plan's architect before making any financial decisions.

Financing Your Build
Most homeowners finance ADU construction rather than paying cash. These are the common routes. Talk to a lender you choose; A-du does not arrange loans.
Illustration only, assuming a 20-year fixed loan at 8.5% APR on the estimated build-cost midpoint. Your rate, term, and eligibility depend on the lender and your finances. This is not an offer of credit; financing is provided by third-party lenders, subject to their approval.
Renovation & ADU construction loans
Lenders that underwrite on your home’s value after the ADU is built, often the best fit when current equity doesn’t cover the build.
Home equity (HELOC / home equity loan)
For owners with substantial equity, a line of credit against the home is typically the simplest and fastest route to fund construction.
Grants & public programs
California periodically funds ADU grant programs (e.g. the CalHFA ADU Grant for predevelopment costs, when funded). Worth checking before you borrow.

Important Information
Pre-Approval Status: Pre-approval information is provided by the vendor and should be verified directly with your local building department.
Site Review: Pre-approval covers the building design, not your lot. Where it sits on your property still has to meet setbacks, fire department access, water supply for firefighting and, where the lot is in a wildfire hazard zone, wildland-urban interface building rules. The building and fire departments check these for every address at plan check.
Cost Estimates: All pricing information is provided by the vendor as estimates only. Actual costs may vary.
Platform Role: A-du is a technology platform connecting homeowners with design vendors. We do not provide architectural, engineering, or construction services.
