Researching California city ADU regulations involves finding municipal codes, local building amendments, and standard construction details to resolve permit correction letters. This skill automates discovering relevant URLs, extracting content from municipal platforms and PDFs, and using browser fallback for hard-to-scrape city websites.

Finding local municipal code amendments for California ADU permits requires searching city-specific platforms and PDF documents. This skill uses WebSearch for URL discovery and WebFetch for targeted content extraction, identifying local amendments to state building codes and compiling findings into structured JSON outputs.

Extracting ADU submittal requirements from hard-to-scrape California city websites is possible using the Chrome MCP browser fallback. When standard WebFetch cannot retrieve content from complex municipal platforms, the browser-based fallback mode directly navigates and extracts the needed local building standards and submittal requirements.

Handling multiple city ADU regulation research tasks in parallel is supported through parallel fan-out extraction across multiple agents. This skill identifies local amendments to state building codes and compiles findings into structured JSON outputs aligned with correction letter item references, enabling efficient processing of multiple cities simultaneously.

This ADU municipal code research tool supports both standalone and orchestrated use. It operates in three sequential modes for standalone end-to-end research, or it can be called by a parent ADU corrections workflow to run only the required research mode for targeted municipal code and standard detail extraction.

Finding ADU building standards for California cities is time-consuming because over 480 cities have unique regulations, municipal code platforms, and submittal requirements. This skill automates the discovery and extraction of exact local rules, standard details, and code amendments needed to respond to permit correction letters.
