Planning before Building
Planning has to approve a project before plans can be submitted online for building plan review. New homes and additions need a Minor Site Plan Review.

Building in Temple City: what to know.
ADUs are one story
An ADU is limited to one story and 16 feet, and up to 600 square feet for a studio, 850 for one bedroom or 1,000 for more. It goes in the rear half of the lot where feasible.
Source: templecityca.govPrivacy fencing is required
An ADU needs a 6 foot fence or wall with privacy hedges along the side and rear lot lines, plus 400 square feet of its own open space, most of it landscaped. Budget for it from the start.
