Keep in mind once the ADU is complete your old unit will most likely become RSO which will mean any alterations are much more complex and limited.The downside of this route is that if you build the ADU now and your old house is built before 1978 you cannot split the lot because the old house cannot be on its own lot once it falls under RSO.
