Per Sec. 9.240.290(C) and (D), Jurupa Valley issues ADUs ministerially through the Building and Safety Department. Statewide-statute-conforming ADUs (within an existing structure, or detached up to 800 sq ft) need only a building permit. Other ADUs require an accessory dwelling unit application reviewed by the Community Development Director and decided within 60 days under Cal. Gov. Code Sec. 66317.
Section 9.240.290(C)(2) follows Cal. Gov. Code Sec. 66323 verbatim: ADUs or JADUs within the existing space of a single-family dwelling or accessory structure, plus detached new-construction ADUs up to 800 sq ft and 16 ft tall with 4-foot side/rear setbacks, are approved with a building permit only — no planning permit. Section 9.240.290(D)(1) covers larger ADUs and requires a planning application with site plan, floor plans, elevations, title report, and a will-serve letter from the water/sewer provider (Sec. 9.240.290(H)(3)). Approval is ministerial; the Director cannot deny a code-compliant application or require a public hearing. Per Sec. 9.240.290(D)(5), the city must act within 60 days. Approved permits are valid for 2 years with possible extension up to 5 years total (Sec. 9.240.290(D)(7)).
Constructing an ADU without a building permit is a violation of Title 8 (Buildings and Construction) and Sec. 9.240.290(C). Penalties include stop-work orders, mandatory permit-after-the-fact with double fees, and possible misdemeanor enforcement.
