What’s posted

City's Accessory Dwelling Units page posts 3 free, downloadable pre-approved ADU floor-plan PDFs directly from the city (Studio, 1-Bedroom, 2-Bedroom), explicitly stating plans are 'available free of charge to community members looking to build an ADU within City limits,' with separate (currently empty) provision for vendor pre-approved plans.

Fetched the evidence page twice independently: first pass confirmed the AB1332-style program description and 3 named PDF links (studio/1bd/2bd); second pass re-confirmed the exact quote on free availability and distinguished city-provided plans from (currently absent) vendor plans. Attempted a third check by following the raw PDF href to the underlying CMS host (cms3.revize.com) but that specific reconstructed URL 404'd, likely due to URL-encoding of spaces/parens rather than the file not existing — the page-level evidence (two independent fetches, explicit free-download language, three distinctly named plan links) is sufficient to confirm 'posted'.

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 Stockton’s plans as part of its own program instead of designing new ones — see the full statewide catalog for more options.
