Adding an ADU in Mira Mesa
Mira Mesa is in the City of San Diego, so ADUs follow the city’s rules. Here is what shapes most projects.
- How many: a single-family lot can usually add one detached ADU, one converted ADU, and one JADU of up to 500 square feet inside the home.
- Size and setbacks: a detached ADU can be up to 1,200 square feet, with 4-foot side and rear setbacks.
- Airport zones: parts of Mira Mesa are inside the MCAS Miramar airport influence area, which can add limits, especially for bonus ADUs, so check your address early.
- Parking: usually none required within a half mile of major transit. Some Mira Mesa streets near Rapid bus routes may qualify, so check whether your address does.
- Rules change, so confirm details with the City of San Diego before you design.
