We’re excited to announce a significant milestone for homeowners in Goleta: Gather ADU is now an official participant in the City of Goleta’s Pre-Approved ADU Program!
This achievement means that our thoughtfully designed Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) have undergone and successfully passed the rigorous review process by the City of Goleta. This allows our ADU designs to be readily approved for construction within the city limits, empowering Goleta homeowners to transition from initial design selection to securing permits with unprecedented confidence and efficiency.Through Goleta’s innovative Pre-Approved ADU Program, residents no longer have to navigate the complex and often lengthy individual design review process. Instead, they can select from a curated collection of professionally designed ADU plans that have already received the city’s stamp of approval, significantly reducing uncertainty, potential delays, and helping to streamline the entire permitting journey.

- Pre-approved ADU designs ready for use in Goleta: This means our plans meet all local zoning, building, and safety codes, eliminating the need for individual design review, which is often a major hurdle in the traditional ADU process.
- A streamlined permitting process: By shortening the design review phase, homeowners can expect a significantly faster path to obtaining their building permits, saving valuable time and reducing project timelines.
- Professionally designed, code-compliant plans: Our designs are not just approved; they are crafted by expert architects and designers, ensuring aesthetic appeal, functional layouts, and full compliance with California’s stringent ADU regulations and Goleta’s specific requirements.
