ARIZONA CASITA BUILDERS · TEMPE
Casita planning
in Tempe.
A thoughtful Tempe casita makes more of the space already at home. We focus on private entrances, useful outdoor rooms and an efficient layout, then coordinate the design with the property’s access, utilities and reviewing requirements.
PLANNING YOUR TEMPE CASITA
Start with the parcel.
Then choose the plan.
A Tempe mailing address does not by itself establish the reviewing authority. We confirm the parcel boundary, zoning, service connections and any applicable community requirements before developing the project.
Confirm the intended use and the city’s current ADU guidance.
Place doors and outdoor seating with privacy between homes in mind.
Identify existing service connections and routes for construction access.
Review any existing accessory buildings before adding new living space.
