Mar Vista ADU Permitting — LADBS, No Coastal Zone

Mar Vista is in the City of Los Angeles — LADBS permits. Most of Mar Vista is east of the Coastal Zone boundary (Lincoln Boulevard area), meaning interior remodels and most ADU types do not require a Coastal Development Permit. This is a significant advantage over adjacent Venice, where new detached ADUs trigger CDP review. APLA manages all LADBS ADU submissions for Mar Vista projects.
