Accessory Dwelling Unit's
Building ADU's in Encinitas has never been easier! Read below to find out why
An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), also known as a granny flat or guest house, are attached or detached residential dwelling units, on the same lot as an existing single -family dwelling unit. An ADU must include complete independent living facilities for one or more people. A sleeping area, kitchen for cooking, and sanitation must all be present in an ADU. They generate great rental income, increase property value, and can enhance your family’s overall lifestyle.
A Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU) is a residential dwelling unit that is no more than 500 square feet in area, contained entirely within an existing single-family residence, and can have separate sanitation facilities from, or shared sanitation facilities with, the existing residence.

Lululemon -Carlsbad CA. Cashwrap Extension
For a few years, in my twenties a worked for Fisher development in San Francisco. They had contracted out the remolding of many mainline stores in the malls across the US including the Gap and Banana Republic. I traveled with a traveling contractor across the western states remolding these stores. Here I am many year later biding on a cashwrap extension at the the Lululemon in Carlsbad CA. Never a dull moment!
