ADU placement sheet

EXAMPLE OUTPUT · REVIEW PROJECT SCOPE BEFORE USE

An example backyard ADU behind an existing home. North is toward the street; coordinates start at the front-left lot corner. The labeled dimensions and graphic scale describe this example only, not legal boundaries or required clearances. Use the bar after resizing or printing rather than assuming a fixed print ratio.

Find your starting documents

Look in your closing documents for a survey or recorded plat, or ask your surveyor or local records office for the appropriate record. Ask the reviewing office which base it accepts. A parcel website or address alone does not establish surveyed boundaries. Keep the document date, source and dimensions with your project sketch.

Bring the project checklist

Bring the proposed ADU footprint, existing house and other structures, access, known easements and the permit office checklist. Record unknown information as a question for the responsible surveyor, designer or trade. Do not guess a legal boundary, setback rule or utility connection to fill a blank.

Placement scope and separate work

This example site plan covers placement documentation. It does not establish ADU eligibility, required setbacks, fire access, utility capacity or local acceptance. Architectural, structural, energy and trade drawings remain separate. The access width and offsets are project dimensions, not design recommendations. Permit acceptance requires the reviewing office’s project-specific checks.
