Town of Danville - Garden Cottage Program Update

Garden Cottage program release date: August 31, 2020

The Town of Danville is excited to provide its residents a selection of free, pre-approved, permit-ready, printable, construction plans - designed by local architects - for the construction of Accessory Dwelling Units or ADUs. The range of plans will include Studio (640 SF), 1 Bedroom / 1 Bath (840 SF), and 2 Bedroom / 2 Bath (around 1,000 SF). These customizable garden cottages will be offered in three architectural styles: Craftsman, Mediterranean and Contemporary.

Applicants will need to consult with appropriate design professionals to prepare a site plan and any necessary grading plans. Each project is unique and may require additional approvals and fees from other agencies. Town staff will be able to assist you with the application process and advise if additional approvals are required.  For permitting assistance, call (925)-314-3330.
