Thanks all! Finally got a call back from LADBS today. They actually told me that on this lot I can have up to 5 units I can develop a duplex with a rec room that I can convert to another unit and then put a duplex ADU situation in the back so that was great to hear!

Hi All-

There seems to be a ton of confusion in the market regarding the new ADU laws in Los Angeles near USC. I'm in escrow on a great SFR with an oversized garage that I'd like to convert to an ADU. Everyone says that's no problem. However the numbers look much better if I can add a JADU on the lot at the same time. One person says this is the way to go. Another says I can't do it because my lot is zoned r2 even though it technically can accommodate up to four units. Anyone know what the true answer is?

Also I’ve heard the owner occupancy rule for JADUs is waived until 2025 to encourage investment. Is there any truth to this? Many thanks!
