Irvine's master-planned communities have specific architectural standards that affect ADU design. Here's what you need to know.
Irvine HOA Considerations
State law limits HOA authority over ADUs, but architectural standards still apply. Exterior materials, colors, and roof styles must typically match the main home. Some HOAs require architectural committee review.
Irvine ADU Regulations
Irvine follows State ADU law with some local requirements. Maximum 1,200 sq ft for detached ADUs. Setback and height requirements vary by zone. Parking requirements have been reduced under State law.
