ADU potential for my existing property! How to develop the land

[Drew Hoffos]

Hi Friends! 
I have a home on a 1/2 acre parcel in 92065. Looking to add an ADU to the back where we have alley access. 
Thinking of doing prefab house, but no idea where to start...
Who handles permits, land use zoning, etc.? 
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks.

You're in the county of SD, who I have dealt with many times. Generally they're good to work with but slow. The good news is ADUs are supposed to be a streamlined process and the county even has pre-approved plans: https://www.sandiegocounty.gov...

There are also lots of companies out there that will handle the whole process for you, since ADUs are so popular. You could get a couple quotes from them and see how they compare.

I disagree with some posters who say they're a bad investment. It depends on the area. In Ramona on 1/2 acre, you'd be able to build a nice big 1200 sq ft 3-bedroom ADU with standard grade fixture way away from your main home and rent it to a family and it would probably work out nicely.
