ADU within Existing Footprint - Los Angeles

Hello Everyone!
I have a client who is interested in doing an Accessory Dwelling Unit within the existing footprint of a house. It is actually already done we just want to complete it with permits.
I am familiar with garage conversions, but doing it within the existing footprint is new. It would be about 1,200 square feet, which is why the Jr. ADU option is out.
Because the utilities wouldn't be split, and it was originally what looks to be the master, the only new item is the kitchen. I would imagine it would be pretty easy to get done but any and all guidance would be appreciated!
Best,
Rick

If I understand this correctly, sounds fairly easy and all you need is architectural and structural plans, submit to city for plan check approval, get permits and start construction.
Here in LA, I do my share of ADU projects along with new construction and rehab flips, what you are describing does not sound very difficult at all.
