The website serves as a comprehensive resource for Upland residents interested in building an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). Its intent is to simplify the ADU construction process through several key features:

  • Step-by-step guidance: The website offers a "step-by-step guide" that breaks down the ADU building process into manageable stages: learning the rules, budgeting, designing, permitting, constructing, and renting.

  • Practical tips: The guide includes "helpful tips" on various aspects of ADU development, such as finding design inspiration, securing financing, hiring professionals, and monitoring construction.

  • Downloadable worksheets: To further assist users, the website provides "downloadable worksheets" that accompany the guidebook. These worksheets can be filled out as PDFs or printed at home.

  • Multiple formats: The guidebook is available in both print-friendly and full-color versions to suit different user preferences and needs.

Disclaimer: The Upland Update is an independent community resource and is not affiliated with the City of Upland. This is my personal initiative to keep residents and businesses informed about key issues, city developments, and community events that impact our daily lives. My goal is to ensure you have clear, transparent, and timely information to stay engaged and involved in shaping Upland’s future.
