Pre-Approved ADU Plans Now Available

Looking for a faster, low-cost way to build an accessory dwelling unit (ADU)?

Thanks to a grant awarded to the City by the State Department of Housing and Community Development, the City of Orland has a selection of ADU plans available for use by the community… Free of charge!
This page contains information for the City of Orland’s pre-approved ADU plans which are intended to facilitate housing by helping to speed up the permit approval process and to reduce the normal costs associated with a new project plan review. The plans posted here will require site-specific design and permitting approval as on all standard projects. Pre-approving and posting these plans are required by California’s AB 1332.
The first step in selecting your preferred ADU design is to prepare a site plan to confirm your property can accommodate your choice. A site plan is an accurately-scaled drawing that shows the existing conditions of and proposed improvements to your property. It includes the location of any existing and proposed development such as structures, paving and uses of land.
Your site plan must show where your property lines are located in relation to any existing and proposed structures, parking, or other site features.
Using your property boundary location and dimension information, you must determine where existing buildings, streets, sidewalks, driveways, trees, creeks, and other site features are located in relation to the property boundaries. Measure the distance from these site features to the surrounding property lines.
The site plan must include the location of any easements or flood zone that may exist on the property. You can prepare your site plan by using all of the information you have gathered. You can draw your site plan by hand or use a computer graphics or drafting program. Please note that the site plan must be drawn to scale. And, please remember, check your work for accuracy before submitting it with the permit application.
If you have any questions about Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU’s) or questions about site plans, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 530-865-1600 or via email at cityplanner@cityoforland.com.
