Start with the parts of the property that can change the answer.
In West Hills, the right ADU path usually comes down to a few site questions: the existing garage or yard, access for construction, utilities, privacy, and the local review path.
Start my property evaluationStudy hillside edges
Slope, retaining conditions, drainage, and fire access can affect where an ADU belongs and how construction reaches it.
Protect yard function
Pool areas, trees, patios, and family yard space should be measured before the ADU footprint is selected.
Compare build paths
Garage conversion and detached construction should be compared against condition, access, privacy, and utility distance.
Permit path
Confirm the jurisdiction before you commit to plans.
West Hills properties are reviewed through the City of Los Angeles, and the evaluation should surface any address-specific zoning, utility, hillside, or planning questions.
Common services here include detached ADUs, garage conversions, ADU design and permitting. Nearby areas we consider during service planning include Canoga Park, Woodland Hills, Chatsworth.

West Hills ADU questions homeowners ask first.
What makes West Hills ADU planning different?
The west Valley setting often adds heat, hillside or canyon-adjacent conditions, pool yards, mature trees, and longer utility paths to the decision.
Can I keep my yard usable?
That is one of the main early design questions; placement should protect outdoor space instead of simply filling the largest open area.
Is a detached ADU better than a conversion?
The answer depends on garage condition, slope, access, privacy, and utility routing, which is why the first step is the property evaluation.
What should I include in the form?
Include the address, photos of the garage and yard, notes on slope or drainage, and your preferred use for the ADU.
