These are the guaranteed rights for homeowners in Modesto under California State Law. Local agencies cannot enforce stricter standards than these baselines.
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.
No parking required if ADU is within 1/2 mile of public transit, historic district, or part of existing home footprint.
