State law prohibits local agencies from setting limits below 850 sq. ft. (1 bd) or 1,000 sq. ft. (2 bd). Generally, up to 1,200 sq. ft. is allowed subject to setbacks.
Local agencies cannot require rear or side setbacks of more than 4 feet.
Minimum allowed height limit. Some areas allow up to 18-25ft depending on proximity to transit or main house.

Development impact fees are waived for ADUs smaller than 750 sq. ft. For larger units, fees must be proportional.
