Long Beach sees boom in ADU projects

Granny flats or small backyard homes called accessory dwelling units (ADU) are playing a critical role in increasing housing availability in Long Beach.

Long Beach has issued 1,431 ADU permits in the last five years, according to a report from the Rose Institute of State and Local Government.

The city of Long Beach has pre-approved ADU designs that have been vetted by building services and cut the permit approval process from sometimes four weeks to four days.
