        "text": "The City of Los Angeles has specific ADU ordinances, templates, and interpretations of state law, along with its own plan-check process and fees. While ADUs are broadly encouraged, details like hillside areas, overlays, and parking can differ even from neighboring LA County jurisdictions. \n\nWorking with someone who regularly submits ADU plans to LADBS can dramatically reduce back‑and‑forth corrections and delays.\n\nKey factors:\n- Local ADU size, height, and setback rules layered on top of state law\n- LADBS plan-check submittal requirements and typical timelines\n- Special considerations in hillside, historic, or coastal zones\n- Available pre‑approved plans or standard details\n\nWhen interviewing pros, ask specifically, “How many ADUs have you built in the City of Los Angeles in the past couple of years, and what delays did you run into?” Their answers will reveal how prepared they are for city-specific nuances."
