ADU approval in San Diego
Hi all,
I am looking to build an ADU for a property that is in San Diego Ca. I am wondering if anyone has any tips or advice on how to expedite the permitting and approval portion of the build. Cant refinance the home until the ADU is complete!

@Brock Dowis If you're in the city limits of San Diego, there's not much you can do to expedite things. They are backed up and it just takes time.
If you're actually in San Diego County, use the pre-designed ADU plans they've got. It's hit or miss in the other cities around town.
