Trust Company is excited to have the ability to build Temecula’s ADU program which are pre-planned ADUs for our Temecula homeowners in the near future – starting April 1, 2023, the City of Temecula will be launching a permit-ready Temecula ADU program. What does this mean?

You will soon be able to add these to your property at an expedited rate with the help of the city.

What are ADUs?

Additional dwelling unit on a southern california property

ADUs (Additional Dwelling Units) are self-contained residential units built on the same property as a primary residence. You may be more familiar with their other names, like granny flats, In-law units, accessory apartments, or backyard cottages.

They can be attached to or detached from the primary residence and can be used as a separate living space for family members, rental units, studios, or home offices. They include living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation facilities – essentially a mini home.

ADUs can be as small as studio apartments or as big as a 3-bedroom unit (max. 1200 sq ft).

What are the Benefits of an ADU?

  • ADUs provide additional & affordable housing for tenants looking for a place to live or for in-home employees
  • Provide privacy for homes with extended family.
  • Cost-effective construction
  • Additional options for couples, single parents, young people, and seniors

What is the Goal of the Permit-Ready Program?

ADUs are cheaper to build compared to traditional single-family housing units and have been successful in other cities.

With that being said, the City of Temecula is aiming to assist residents with ready-to-build ADU models. This will provide expedited building processes and additional housing to keep up with the demand that has not been met in California, according to the CDHCD.
