Converting 2nd floor rec room to ADU
Currently have a rec room with COE on the second floor of our detached garage. There is a power line that is very close to the detached building. I've read about ADUs being denied permits due to LADWP easement rules. Since I already have a COE for the second floor rec room, will I need to get a easement from LADWP when converting to an ADU?
