        "text": "Yes. Pasadena has its own ADU ordinance, zoning code, and review process, even though it must still comply with California’s overarching ADU laws. That means eligibility, size, design standards, and review timelines can differ from those in the City of Los Angeles. \n\nBecause Pasadena’s planning goals prioritize neighborhood character, design details and compatibility often get more scrutiny there than in some other jurisdictions.\n\nKey factors:\n- Local maximum sizes, heights, and lot coverage limits\n- Design compatibility or historic-district requirements\n- Parking and access standards on narrow or older streets\n- Plan-check timelines and whether objective design standards apply\n\nIf you’re in Pasadena, confirm you’re looking at City of Pasadena ADU guidance—not generic LA info—and work with someone who can show you Pasadena ADU examples they’ve already built or permitted."
