Where can I find information about building a new addition to my home?

Please refer to the Residential Development Standards for more detailed information related to development standards (e.g. setbacks, building height, lot coverage) and design guidelines. Development standards can also be found in the appropriate zoning district’s chapter of Title 18 of the City’s Municipal Code. Please contact the Planning Division at (714) 961-7130 to speak with a planner about the development standards for a particular property.
