Frequently Asked Questions
Can I build a rental ADU on my property in Redondo Beach?
Yes. Most ADUs in Redondo Beach can be legally rented as long-term rentals (30+ days). ADUs are popular for income generation, family housing, or multigenerational living.
Do I need extra parking for an ADU in Redondo Beach?
In many parts of Redondo Beach, no extra parking is required, especially if your property is within ½ mile of transit, or if you are converting an existing garage.
Can I build a two-story ADU in Redondo Beach?
Yes. Two-story ADUs are common, especially in North Redondo, Golden Hills, and smaller lots where using vertical space is better than losing backyard space.
Do I need architectural plans and engineering for a Redondo Beach ADU?
Yes. Redondo Beach requires architectural drawings, structural engineering, Title 24 compliance, grading plans if needed, and full permit review. We handle all these steps for you.
How long does ADU permitting take in Redondo Beach?
California law requires cities to review ADU plans in 60 days, but real approval time in Redondo Beach is usually between 8–14 weeks depending on comments or corrections.
