“The total area designated for parking space is 1,496 square feet for a total of sixteen parking slots.” Are those stackers, then? That’s not nearly enough space.
“The estimated cost of construction is $450,000.” Uhh…
Nice to see more ADUs. The design looks pretty good– I’ve seen a lot of ADU projects where they preserve the garage door openings, and it looks bizarre. This building is weirdly perched on stilts to start with, so it’ll probably look nicer at the end.
There are a lot of “media rooms” in that floor plan… I guess it must be an end-run around some regulation or other, because they’re obviously going to be used as bedrooms. But it does mean that many of the “studios” are de-facto 1-BR, and many 1-BR are 2-BR, so that’s nice.
