State law allows a local ADU ordinance to establish certain ADU development standards. However, these standards shall not include minimum lot size (see GC Section  65852.2(a)(1)(B)(i)). Therefore, a minimum Lot size requirement for a given zone classification shall not be the basis of a denial of a new ADU.

Question label

May an ADU be created on a Lot that is a substandard Lot (for instance, due to an illegal Lot split in the past)?
