Who we are
The Responsible ADU Committee brings together builders, designers, policy advocates and other industry professionals working to make accessory dwelling unit (ADU) development in San Diego more predictable, consistent, and achievable. We collaborate with city and county agencies, utility providers, and state partners to improve how ADU policies are written, interpreted, and applied.
