PERMIT READY
ADU PLANS
Infill housing, including accessory dwelling units (ADUs), is a crucial element in the City’s plan to provide a diverse housing supply. The State and City have responded to the housing crisis by passing new laws and ordinances to encourage the construction of ADUs.
This catalog is a resource for residents interested in adding an ADU to their property. This Guidebook contains two parts: the first is an informational guide on the process of designing and building and ADU; and the second is dedicated to the Permit Ready ADU Program that offers a series of eight ADU building plan sets that residents can select from, at no cost, to build on their property.

Benefits of Building an ADU
ADU Guidebook - Section 1: Benefits of ADUs
This first part of this Guidebook outlines the application and review procedures for obtaining a permit to create an ADU and provides a summary of key zoning and construction standards.
From providing housing for relatives to helping pay the mortgage, many Menifee homeowners are interested in adding accessory dwelling units to their homes. An accessory dwelling unit (ADU), also known as a “mother-in-law” or “granny flat,” is an attached part of a primary dwelling or detached stand-alone structure separate from the primary dwelling unit on the same lot as an existing dwelling where the lot is zoned for single-family or multifamily use. An ADU provides complete independent living facilities for one or more persons. This includes permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation, all on the same parcel as the primary, single-family dwelling. An ADU can be an efficiency unit, as defined in Section 17958.1 of Health and Safety Code, or a manufactured home, as defined in Section 18007 of the Health and Safety Code.
This Guidebook is a resource to help residents build an ADU. It provides an overview of the entire project, from getting started to pulling permits. The Guidebook provides useful information to reduce the uncertainty in what can feel like a complicated process.
People build ADUs for lots of reasons, but the most common are rental income and/or to house relatives. The concept of creating living space from unused portions of your property or home is not new. However, interest in ADUs has increased in recent years as they Rental Income Building an ADU can help homeowners pay
the mortgage via a steady stream of income.
Housing for Relatives Having an ADU allows a homeowner
with aging relatives, adult children, or reltives with special needs to live together while maintaining privacy.
Downsizing Homeowners may build an ADU for themselves
and then rent out the primary residence.
Flexible Space As homeowner needs change over time, an
ADU allows for multiple uses such as a rental, housing for relatives, as a home office.
Investment ADUs are a good investment with a reltively
short payback period that can increase a home’s resale value Community Benefits ADUs are one tool to help address
housing needs in a community. The units provide attainable or affordable workforce housing options. As private units, ADUs help diversify housing options while maintaning
community character.

6 ADU Guidebook - Section 2: Getting Started
Planning an ADU Project
ADUs come in many shapes and sizes but are always a self-contained unit that is smaller than the primary dwelling and legally part of the same property. ADUs always contain a kitchen, bathroom, and place to sleep. ADUs can range from efficiency studio units to 1200-square- foot units with multiple bedrooms. Interior conversions may include conversion of interior living space of a primary dwelling or conversion of a garage or other existing structure.
A junior accessory dwelling unit (JADU) is a residential dwelling unit that is no more than 500 square feet in area, contained entirely within an existing single-family residence, and can have separate sanitation facilities from, or shared sanitation facilities with, the existing residence.
A building permit is required to build any accessory dwelling unit.
Depending on the scope of work, your project will most likely also require electrical, plumbing, and/or mechanical permits. It is recommended that you visit the Planning and Building Divisions to talk with staff about your project while in the planning stages. Staff can help you determine if an ADU is allowed on your property and to discuss zoning standards that are applicable to your project. They can also help answer questions about the building code and applicable construction standards, and utilities.

ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT GUIDEBOOK
7 The City’s Permit Ready Accessory Dwelling Unit Program is envisioned to encourage the construction of ADUs by offering property owners a selection of pre-approved ADU building plans. By choosing one of these plans, the property owner can reduce pre- construction costs and permit review times.
Zoning and Design Standards
One ADU and one JADU are allowed on residentially zoned properties that have no more than one existing or proposed single-family residential dwelling. ADUs can be built as detached (stand-alone accessory structure) or attached units (addition to an existing residence), within an existing home or accessory structure, or as a garage conversion. The City’s ADU standards allow for a range of sizes, from efficiency studios up to 1,200 sf. The zoning of your property and the size of your existing lot and house are determining factors in how large of an ADU you can build.
One parking space for each new unit is required, however, no parking is required if the new ADU is within 1/2 mile of public transit, located within a historic district, or if the unit is created within an existing structure.
To help property owners, several relief standards were created as part of new state law. Setbacks for all ADUs are now four (4’) feet from the side and rear property lines, unless there are superseding environmental or fire codes.
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS
Number of units Allow up to one ADU And one JADU per single-family lot Maximum unit size Detached: 1,200 sq. ft.
Attached:1,200 sq. ft. or 50% of the floor area of the primary residence, whichever is less
Parking One parking space required unless:
• Within ½ mile of “public transit” (train station and all bus stops) • Created within the area of an existing building
• In a historic district
Front-yard setback • Same as existing primary dwelling
• No additional setback shall be required for an existing garage that is converted to an ADU
Rear and Side-yard
setback
• Same as existing primary dwelling or 4 ft., whichever is less Lot coverage • Based on existing zoning
• 800 sf of ADU is allowed by-right
Height 16’ height allowed by-right or the height limit of the underlying zoning when not applying reduced ADU setbacks
Rental An ADU cannot be rented for periods of less than 30 days

8 Types of Construction
Timber Frame
Timber frame, or stick-built construction, is the traditional method of home construction. This method is done on-site and relies on wooden posts, beams, studs, joists, and rafters for its basic construction.
Timber framed homes often leave a portion of the wood timber exposed as part of the design aesthetic, in addition to its structural purpose.
Modular
Modular construction relies on pieces of the house or ADU being fabricated off-site, and then being delivered to the building site. The prefabricated pieces are delivered to the site and placed into position, either by hand or with a crane.
Manufactured
Manufactured construction is a process where an entire house or ADU, or sections of them, are predominantly built and assembled in factories. The entire unit, or the sections, and then transported to the building site and assembled.
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT GUIDEBOOK
9 Design Professionals
As you start the design process, one of your first considerations is what kind of professional you want to work with. Most homeowners choose to work with some type of design professional to help throughout the design and permit review process. The City recommends the use of a licensed professional, such as an architect or engineer, however, property owners with design experience can choose to manage the design themselves.
Architect
Architects provide a range of design services including full-service from the initial concept to final construction. This can include coordinating with additional consultants such as structural engineers, surveyors, or any other project related subcontractors. Architects are professionally licensed by the state and have a degree in architecture and have passed a series of licensing exams. Architects are legally responsible for the work they design.
Engineer
Engineers are involved in the design, construction, maintenance and inspection of development projects. A licensed engineer is legally responsible for the work they design. Civil or structural engineers can help determine the proper site layout and structural design for development projects.
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT GUIDEBOOK
10 Landscape Architect
Landscape architects design outdoor environments that connect our built environments to natural surroundings. This can include parks, gardens, hardscapes, and small structures. Landscape architects are professionally licensed by the state and have a degree in landscape architecture, have passed a series of licensing exams, and are legally responsible for the work they design.
Designer
Designers can come from varying backgrounds and skill sets, sometimes referred to as building designers or drafting services.
Most designers have a design-based education and work experience, and some are self-taught, but none are professionally licensed. The services designers provide are dependent upon the level of their experience in the design, engineering, and construction fields.
Surveyor
Land surveyors use exact locations to determine distances, directions, and angles between reference points or important features on a property. A licensed surveyor can verify and establish boundaries, research land records, and prepare maps and reports for development projects.
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT GUIDEBOOK
11 Design/Build
A design/build firm will design and construct your ADU. Design/build firms are usually headed by a licensed architect or contractor. There are no standards for design/build firms, so the level of services they provided vary depending on the skill set of the owner and staff. The staff is usually a collection of designers who provide design services for small scale projects.
Manufacturer
Modular and manufactured homes can be an efficient way of constructing your ADU. Manufacturers of these homes are monitored by the state of California, and a contractor is required for the on-site foundation work, utility hookups, and placement or assembly of the unit. Most manufacturers offer a variety of options for homeowners to customize their unit. This method of construction simplifies the design process and generally takes the least amount of time from conception to completion.
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT GUIDEBOOK
12 ADUs provide many benefits for the owners, the municipality, and for prospective renters. When planning to build an ADU, there are many alternatives to consider. For the use of the ADU, it is helpful to think about your short-term needs and long-term goals. For the design of the ADU, a successful project will make considerations for the location, size, and aesthetic features of the unit.
Purpose
ADUs can be adapted in many ways to meet your living situation as it changes over time. These units provide flexible space for the owners as they can be used as rental properties, home offices, or guest rooms. The size of these units is conducive to multi- generational housing, and provides an affordable option for students, adult children, parents or grandparents, and caregivers. As rental units, ADUs help diversify the housing options within the existing community, and the rental income helps owners offset their housing costs.
Renting
Renting a second unit comes with many responsibilities. It is important to have an understanding of housing law, tenant/landlord responsibilities, and building maintenance which affect rental rates, changes of use, and who lives in the unit.
The City’s ADU/JADU standards require that all rental agreements for new units must have contracts of 30 days or longer, therefore, short- term vacation rental is not an option. Owners can choose, however, to live in their ADU and rent out the primary home.
ADU Guidebook - Section 3: Design Considerations
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT GUIDEBOOK
13 Neighborhood and Site Context
Lot size, community character, and design guidelines need to be considered when designing an ADU. Every property has an underlying zoning designation, and almost every neighborhood has an established lot and building pattern. Design features such as architectural styles, windows and doors, roof lines, and front porches, and the materials that make up these features, should be considered for the ADU.
Determining your zoning, lot size, and property boundaries will help guide preliminary design decisions. A property survey will provide the boundaries, lot size, and other important information. The zoning maps, designations, and standards can be attained from the City’s website
(see City Resources in Appendix) or by contacting the
Community Development Department.
The size, or massing, of your ADU should compliment the primary residence and the surrounding neighbors. The relationship, or spacing, between structures can create attractive courtyards, gardens, and private spaces. These landscape and hardscape features are also important elements that connect the ADU to the property and the neighborhood.
When an ADU is proposed in existing space, either through conversion of a garage or accessory structure, or within the house, or when an addition to an existing building is proposed, it may be helpful

14 to make an initial visit to the Community
Development Department - Planning and
Building Divisions. The visit provides an
opportunity to discuss the space, design,
and structural issues that may be
associated with the development of an
ADU. In order for staff to provide the best
information possible, simple site and floor
plan drawings are beneficial.
The proper location and size of your ADU,
along with the incorporation of specific
architectural and landscape elements into
the design, will ensure compatibility with
your primary home and neighborhood.
These considerations should be properly
represented within the construction
documents that will be submitted to
the City for review. Complete and
comprehensive application materials and
building plan sets will save time during
the plan check and permit process.
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT GUIDEBOOK
15 ADU Guidebook - Section 4: Permit Process
Once the preliminary layout and design of your ADU is complete, a visit to City Hall is a beneficial next step towards construction. City Staff from Planning, Building, Engineering, and Office of the Fire Marshal are available to answer your questions regarding your property, building plans, or the construction process.
City Departments
The Planning Division can provide information about your property, including the zoning and lot size, which are critical in determining the type and size of ADU you can build. A Planner can also assist you with all of the other development standards that may influence the design of your ADU.
The Building Division will ultimately issue your permit to construct and occupy your ADU. City staff can walk you through the permitting and inspection process, and provide you with a list of building codes and drawing requirements that you or your consultants will need to consider prior to applying.
The Engineering Department can help you with questions about property lines, right-of-ways, and utility and drainage easements.
Only a professional survey of your property can accurately determine where all of these boundaries lie, so it is recommended that one be conducted as part of your planning process.
ADU Application Checklist
1. One completed and signed application form.
2. One copy of the current legal description for the property involved, as recorded in the Office of the County Recorder. A copy of a grant deed of each property involved will suffice.
3. If any of the properties involved do not abut a public street, a copy of appropriate documentation of legal access (e.g. recorded easement) for said property shall be provided.
4. Copy of Exhibit “A” (Site Plan). The exhibit must also include the information described in the Accessory Dwelling Unit Matrix.
5. A copy of building floor plans (Exhibit “C”) and elevations (Exhibit “B”) showing the proposed ADU building.
6. A minimum of three (3) ground-level photographs (color prints) clearly showing the whole project site. Include a locational map identifying the position from which the photo was taken and the approximate area of coverage of each
photograph.
7. Applicable fee.
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT GUIDEBOOK
16 The Office of the Fire Marshal can answer questions regarding life safety issues such as requirements for fire sprinklers, required firewall ratings, building separation, and defensible space for wildfires.
The City has many residentially zoned lots that are not served by sewer and must rely on septic systems. This is common in the Quail Valley area and rural residential areas. New septic systems require approvals and permits from the County Department of Environmental Health and Building Division. New septic systems are not allowed in certain areas of the City
(see Appendix for Quail Valley Septic
Moratorium).
Permit Application and Review
The submittal and review process is often quite complex and requires architecture and building technology knowledge and experience for a smooth review. The City’s Permit Ready ADU Plans Program (page
18) offers a selection of floor plans and styles that can be used by residents. Using one of these plans as provided will shorten the review process. Minor modifications to the plans are allowed, but may extend the review time.
All City applications are processed digitally and can be submitted on- line through the Menifee Permit Portal
(link in Appendix). On any plan
submittal, it is recommended that homeowners work with a licensed professional who can explain the requirements through each step of the permitting process.
In the application review phase, various departments will assess your project application to ensure that it meets all applicable regulations. Each department will provide review comments that may require changes to your application or design. The length of the entire process will depend on the completeness of the application, the number of reviews required, and how quickly the application is resubmitted between reviews. Most ADU applications are approved within one to three rounds of review.

17 ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT GUIDEBOOK
18 Fees
Each ADU will require different fees and the amount will be dependent on your specific project. Typical fees include application fees, impact fees, water and sewer fees, and school fees. State ADU law has established several guidelines for fee assessment. The most prominent are that no school fees can be assessed on a unit smaller that 500 square feet, and no impact fees can be assessed on a unit of 750 square feet or less. In general, all fees will need to be paid prior to receiving a building permit.
Inspections
Your ADU will require a series of inspections to ensure that the project is being built in compliance with all building, fire, and zoning codes. Building Inspectors will check for code compliance, and assure that the ADU is being constructed according to the plans you submitted for the permits. The Planning Division may also do a final inspection to ensure that any special conditions on the project have been met. Additional inspections may also be conducted by other City Departments or agencies.
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT GUIDEBOOK
19 Permit Ready ADU Program
The Menifee Permit Ready ADU Program provides is a series of eight, pre-reviewed, code-compliant ADU construction plans that can be attained online or from City Hall for free. The program helps the City meet strategic plan goals to create diverse housing options throughout the City by encouraging the construction of ADUs.
Customizable options allow for a variety of exterior materials and door and window fenestrations to express individual owners’ tastes while respecting community character. These options reduce preconstruction fees for residents and shortens the review process for everyone.
The City selected the architecture and planning firm of Design Path Studio to prepare the Permit Ready ADU Plans and this ADU Guidebook. Design Path Studio was tasked with preparing floor plan options for a studio, a one-bedroom, a two-bedroom, and a three- bedroom option, with two floor plans for each option. Each set of floor plans provides two architectural styles with porch variations, and provides a checklist of options designed to make customizing the exterior easy for owners.
Residents can download digital copies of the full sets of plans from the City’s ADU webpage
(link in Appendix). Residents will need to
have a site plan prepared to submit along with their selected plan set and complete ADU application.
