What’s posted
City's own Housing page describes a 'Cottage Home Program': three free pre-approved plans (Plan 1, Plan 2, Plan 3, ~400-500 SF), developed with SB2 grant funds, each with a Dropbox download link.
Gap from a fully compliant program: Plans identified only as 'Plan 1/2/3' rather than descriptive names; unclear if designer/applicant contact info accompanies the download links.

WebFetch succeeded directly; confirmed 3 numbered plans with Dropbox download links posted on the city's own site. Adversarially re-verified 2026-07-31: independent re-fetch confirmed all 3 numbered plans and Dropbox links.
Any other agency can adopt these plans
Cal. Gov. Code § 65852.27, added by Stats. 2023, ch. 759, amended by Stats. 2024, ch. 7 (SB 477) (§ 65852.27(a)(5)) lets any California local agency admit into its own program plans “A local agency may also admit the following accessory dwelling unit plans into the program: (A) Plans that have been developed and preapproved by the local agency. (B) Plans that have been preapproved by other agencies within the state.” A city or county without a preapproval program of its own can post City of Chowchilla’s plans as part of its own program instead of designing new ones — see the full statewide catalog for more options.
We build and maintain the program page, the plan library and the required third-party submission path for agencies that want to stand this up: $1,950 setup + $3,600/year (year one all-in $5,550).
