They may be able to cut costs and time associated with the permitting process.<\/p>\n<p>An ADU is a smaller, independent residential dwelling unit located on the same lot as a stand-alone, detached single-family home. Orange County has allowed ADUs on residentially zoned properties since 2019. ADUs provide living space for family members of homeowners or can be rented out by tenants for a period of more than 180 days.<\/p>\n<p>Four of the \u201cReady Set Orange\u201d floorplans available are for ADUs, ranging in size from 531 square feet to 708 square feet. The other four floorplans are for single-family homes, ranging in size from 1,150 square feet to 1,483 square feet.<\/p>\n<p>A press kit with photos of the models and a FAQ sheet can be found here: <a href=\"https:\/\/ocfl.box.com\/s\/p2qzltj68977ruqwxcqsf67uy0h2q7wc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/ocfl.box.com\/s\/p2qzltj68977ruqwxcqsf67uy0h2q7wc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more information about \u201cReady Set Orange\u201d visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ocfl.net\/PlanningDevelopment\/ReadySetOrange.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ready Set Orange (ocfl.net)<\/a>.
