Executive Order N-9-25 is allowing homeowners to build and occupy Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) on fire-affected properties before rebuilding their primary residences. This is a crucial step in expediting housing solutions for those who have lost their homes in recent fires.

If you or someone you know has been affected and could benefit from this, please reach out to us with any questions. Offering our expertise and ADU plans is our small contribution to the rebuilding efforts.

It’s fun to visit projects after they are built and occupied. Here Yvonne poses in front of her mixed use project on the coast highway in downtown Encinitas, CA. This project was completed in 2019 in conformance with the downtown Encinitas Specific Plan. Yvonne was born and raised in Encinitas/Leucadia and resides there today with her husband and two boys. The hometown projects are always special.
