Draft Objective Design Standards for ADUs on Historic Properties

Long Beach

Description

Draft citywide standards that would set clear, checkable rules for ADUs on landmark and historic-district properties — separation, height, roof form, windows, doors and materials — folded into a larger local ADU ordinance.

Impact summary

Homeowners in historic districts would get a predictable checklist for ADU approvals, but with mandatory separation, height and material requirements written into code.
