City of Tulare's ADU page lists 4 named pre-approved 'Skylab' plans (360 sf studio, 484 sf 1BR, 748 sf 2BR, 1200 sf 3BR), each with its own CivicPlus download link, available in Craftsman/Spanish/Tudor styles.

Direct fetch of the main page 403'd; r.jina.ai proxy returned the full 4-plan catalog with real document-ID links. Adversarial re-check: fetched the actual 360 sq ft studio plan PDF directly (no proxy) and it rendered as a real 2-page program document referencing 'Studio Plan (360 sq. ft. - Skylab)' and the three architectural styles — confirming the file is live, not a dead link.

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 Tulare’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).
