2-bedroom ADU unit on the large range. It includes 2 bedrooms, one shared full bathroom, laundry area, kitchen, breakfast area, and generous living room. The layout allows for a large outdoor covered porch/ patio. Cost considerations: Materials scheduled are economical for a low construction cost but can be customized and submitted for Building Department approval (customization not included in basic plan package). The simple, rectangular shapes allow for efficient material procurement and layout for an inexpensive structure. Accessibility considerations: The layout is not fully accessible but may be customized for a more accessible layout (customization not included in basic plan package). 36″ wide doors are provided from exterior to bedrooms for a fully accessible path from exterior to bedrooms. Privacy considerations: The layout allows for the unit to be oriented for privacy. The outdoor porch may face toward the middle of the property and away from the adjacent property line. The more “public” areas of the unit (kitchen and living room) can be oriented towards the primary residence, while the more “private” areas of the unit (bedrooms) would be further away from the primary residence. Context compatibility considerations: The style and materials scheduled (exterior plaster walls and asphalt shingle roof) are compatible with most architectural styles within the City of Bakersfield but may also be customized for a more homogeneous fit within specific neighborhoods (customization not included in basic plan package). Adaptability and customization considerations: The layout and construction type allow for material and style customization possibilities to satisfy a particular preference or fit within a specific neighborhood aesthetic (customization not included in basic plan package). Sustainability considerations: Though the footprint for the unit is on the large range for a 2-bedroom unit, the use of simple geometry allows for efficient use of construction materials with minimum waste. By including the outdoor porch/ patio within the footprint of the unit, the hardscape footprint is limited to an overall rectangular shape, thus allowing for minimal land possibly requiring future expansions for outdoor activities. The Cooling and heating system are combined in an energy efficient mini-split system for substantial savings over the life of the unit. The system will not require the use of ducting or duct insulation and, therefore, reduce the amount of materials used. Initial investment is higher but significant energy savings would make up for the investment. The use of insulation at the roof framing allows for a more efficient thermal envelope and lower energy demands while also eliminating the need for insulation of attic utility lines. Caveats: Because each site has very specific conditions, the plans are limited to the structure itself and will not include all necessary information for permit approval and/or construction. Variations such as property size, location, topography, orientation, and soils conditions, as well as other existing factors including utility location/ availability, size and placement of other structures and vegetation among others, will dictate the necessary adjustments to the plans for a complete set of permit documents. Energy calculations, photovoltaic location/ capacity, utility connections, and similar systems will need to be prepared separately from the standard set, during permit procurement as well.

Pre-reviewed jurisdictions

“Pre-reviewed” Plans

These are both site-built and prefabricated plans that have been pre-reviewed for compliance with applicable building code requirements. It is crucial that you begin by first contacting your local jurisdiction to understand what is and is not possible on your site before you proceed with selecting a plan. You should also ask your jurisdiction about their policy for use of pre-reviewed plans, as each individual city and county is unique. 


NOTE: A pre-reviewed plan will require additional information and tailoring before it can be submitted to your jurisdiction for ADU permit approval. See FAQs page for more details.

  • What does "pre-reviewed" mean?

Click each jurisdiction to access their ADU webpage and/or resources.

This plan has not been pre-reviewed by any participating jurisdictions. But that’s okay! You can still use it. It will just need to go through their standard review process.

NOTE: This program is currently in beta launch and we’re working on adding more “pre-reviewed” plans. Check back often for updates!

IMPORTANT: Even “pre-reviewed” plans must be submitted along with additional project-specific information for final review and permit approval by your jurisdiction’s building department.
