        "text": "Size limitations for ADUs are primarily governed by state law and local ordinances. In Irvine and Huntington Beach, state law generally allows for a detached ADU of up to 1,200 square feet, regardless of the primary dwelling's size, and attached ADUs can be up to 50% of the existing main home’s size or 1,200 square feet, whichever is less. There are also minimum size requirements. Garage conversions are typically limited by the existing garage footprint. Specific setbacks and lot coverage rules also apply, which a local contractor can detail.",
