Chula Vista homeowners can generally build an ADU up to 1,200 square feet, regardless of the size of the primary dwelling. For junior ADUs (JADUs), the maximum size is 500 square feet. It's important to remember that these are maximums, and the actual allowable size might also depend on factors like lot coverage and setbacks specific to your property's zoning. We always review your specific address and its zoning to give you the most accurate information on what's possible for your lot.
No, in many cases, Chula Vista homeowners are exempt from providing additional parking for their ADU. This exemption applies if your property is within a half-mile of public transit, located within an architecturally and historically significant historic district, or if the ADU is part of an existing primary residence or an existing accessory structure. We can help you determine if your property qualifies for a parking exemption, which simplifies the ADU process considerably for many residents.
Permit approval for an ADU in Chula Vista typically takes between 4 to 6 months, assuming all plans are complete and meet city requirements.

We work closely with the city to help streamline this process for our neighbors.
