Yes, you can build an ADU in Oakland's historic districts, but it will require additional review and approval from the city's Landmarks Preservation Board. The design must be consistent with the historic character of the primary dwelling and the surrounding neighborhood. We've worked on projects in sensitive areas and can guide you through the specific design and approval steps needed for historic properties.
