ADUs in Emeryville, near Berkeley, CA
Emeryville sits just south of Berkeley, and it runs its own ADU review.
How Emeryville reviews an ADU
Emeryville's municipal code says a proposal for an ADU or junior ADU is reviewed by the Director, and if it conforms, a zoning compliance approval is issued within 60 days of a complete application. The city's ADU page lists a planning fee of $528.00 and says building permit fees are based on project valuation, but ADUs are not subject to development impact fees. The fee was current when the page was last read, so confirm it with the city.
The contractor we connect you with can confirm what applies to your lot. The Berkeley steps are in the permit guide.
