Start with the parts of the property that can change the answer.

Start my property evaluationHillside access
Driveway geometry, slope, and staging room help determine whether detached construction can be built cleanly.
Drainage and retaining
Existing drainage, retaining walls, and grade transitions should be reviewed before selecting an ADU location.
Utility distance
Long runs for sewer, water, or electrical service can affect placement and should be flagged in the evaluation.
Permit path
Confirm the jurisdiction before you commit to plans.
Tujunga properties are reviewed through the City of Los Angeles in the Sunland-Tujunga-Lake View Terrace-Shadow Hills-East La Tuna Canyon planning area, and the property evaluation form should capture slope, access, drainage, and utility details early.
Common services here include detached ADUs, garage conversions, ADU design and permitting. Nearby areas we consider during service planning include Sunland, La Crescenta, Shadow Hills.

Tujunga ADU questions homeowners ask first.
Why is Tujunga ADU planning so site-specific?
Hillside access, drainage, retaining conditions, trees, and utility distance can vary a lot from one property to the next.
Can I build a detached ADU on a sloped lot?
It may be possible, but the evaluation needs to look at grading, access, drainage, utilities, and staging before a direction is recommended.
Should fire access be considered early?
Yes, fire access and fire-hardening choices should be part of the early feasibility discussion.
What should I include with the form?
Include photos of slope, driveway, yard, retaining walls, drainage areas, and any known utility locations.
