        "text": "Yes, under California state law, homeowners in single-family residential zones are generally allowed to build ADUs, regardless of specific local zoning designations. Recent state legislation has streamlined this process, overriding many previous local restrictions. However, cities like Glendale and Pasadena still maintain local ordinances that dictate specific dimensional standards, setbacks, and other design requirements that must be met. Zoning coordination ensures your proposed ADU meets these local interpretations of state law.",
