San Diego's Most Trusted ADU, Design & Permit Team — One Point of Contact, Start to Finish
Change of use
Converting a building from one occupancy classification to another — the permitting path with the most unbudgeted surprises.
Every commercial space is different — bring us your scope. Which upgrades a new occupancy classification triggers is the whole question here, and it is worth scoping before you sign anything.
Limits vary by jurisdiction. These are the levers that decide what fits on your lot — we confirm every one of them against your city before design starts.
These are the reviews and limits that typically govern this work. Most are set by your jurisdiction and by the building, fire and accessibility codes — they are requirements, not starting points. We confirm exactly which ones apply to your address and scope before design starts. See regulations by city. Statutes reviewed 4 August 2026.
Under an hour, no pressure — we talk through what your lot allows and give you a ballpark for your property. No charge, and no obligation to go further.
