Old Towne Orange’s historic-district overlay means an ADU built near the Plaza has to clear design review that a standard build in most cities never sees — matching rooflines, materials, and scale to the original home. Busy Bee has taken projects through that review with the City of Orange and knows how to design a unit that satisfies the historic preservation guidelines without dragging your timeline out for months.
Outside the historic core, Orange’s newer neighborhoods move through standard City of Orange plan check — either way, we manage the permitting from submittal to final sign-off.
