        "text": "In Irvine, and generally across California, state law sets baseline standards for ADU sizes, typically allowing up to 1,200 square feet for a detached ADU, regardless of the primary dwelling's size. However, local ordinances can sometimes impose more restrictive standards or offer flexibility within state guidelines. It's essential to verify the specific maximum square footage and any other size-related restrictions, like height limits, with the City of Irvine's planning department to ensure compliance.",
