What else applies

State law: State law lets most single-family lots add an ADU and a JADU (California ADU law) and a second home or a lot split under SB 9 (Gov. Code § 65852.21).
Not covered here: Specific plan areas (Hotel, Gardens, 9900 Wilshire, Beverly Hilton, One Beverly Hills) defer to their own plans; Permitted-use lists of R-4, R-4X1, R-4X2 articles are not in the packet; the 10-3-302 charts are used instead. Overlay zones and specific plans can also change the answer.
