FREE 2ND UNIT DESIGNS & BUILDING PLANS
The City of Fort Bragg is pleased to announce our Free 2nd Unit Design program to make it easier for residents to build new second units (also known as granny or in-law units) in City limits. The City commissioned architects, design professionals, and engineers to prepare four second unit designs with a range of sizes and features. A second unit is a house of less than 960 square feet on a lot that already has a home. The City's free designs include:
The Hideaway: 522 square feet, one bedroom, one bath; 1 1/2 half story detached home; 324 sq. ft. footprint. Features: Half story second floor, Dutch hip roof, optional second story deck, cathedral ceiling in living room, dormer windows, casement windows, shiplap or cedar shingle siding.
The Cottage: 544 square feet, one bedroom, one bath, single story. Features: Gable roof, porch entry, open kitchen/living area, deck off living area with sliding glass doors, double hung windows, and high ceilings.
The Alley House: 611 square feet, one bedroom/one bath, single story. Features: Gable roof, small front porch, open kitchen-living area, storage loft, and double hung windows.
The Craftsman: 767 square feet, two bedroom/two bath, single story. Features: Single story, gable roof, large front porch, open kitchen-living area, large storage loft, double hung windows, French doors onto deck off dining area, pantry, and porch off kitchen.
These four designs are available for review at the Community Development Department in City Hall, 416 North Franklin Street. Stop by to see the plans and ask staff about fees, setbacks, parking, lot coverage, and other regulations specific to your property. You do not have to pay for having the designs drawn, but copies of the plans cost $2 per page. All City fees for planning, building, or other permits still apply.
