Santa Clara scope

For Santa Clara homes, the useful first pass is deciding whether the existing garage should become living space, office space, or a garage-to-ADU path before drawings get expensive.

Define the future use, floor plan, entry, storage, light, ventilation, and finish direction before drawings get detailed.

Coordinate plan information, drawings, structural questions, and supporting details for a clearer city review path.

Garage-to-ADU planning

Check whether the garage can become an ADU and what extra kitchen, bath, utility, and life-safety decisions appear.
