Do I need parking if I convert my garage into an ADU in Vista?

Typically yes. However, according the city of Vista ADU FAQ webpage, you may not be required to add parking for an ADU in Vista if any of the following applies.

  • The ADU is located within one-half mile of public transit.
  • The ADU is located within one block of a car share vehicle.
  • The ADU is located within an architecturally and historically significant historic district.
  • The ADU is part of the proposed or existing primary residence or part of an accessory structure. So if the ADU is created through a garage conversion, the ADU will not require a new parking space; however, you will need to replace the off-street parking spaces required for the single-family primary residence, that is two (2) required parking spaces plus two (2) guest parking spaces) on the same lot as the ADU, in any configuration (these can be covered, uncovered, or tandem spaces). 

Various California ADU laws also discuss the parking standards for building an ADU.
