Millbrae is developing Citywide Objective Residential Design Standards to preserve the architectural qualities of its neighborhoods, covering new construction and additions for single-family homes, ADUs, and other housing types.
The City requires all building permit applications to be submitted through its Online Permitting Portal and does not accept hard-copy applications.
ADUs under 750 square feet are exempt from Millbrae's Development Impact Fees, and the City accepts ADU plans for review and pre-approval.
