Sunland-Tujunga Council Flags Giant ADUs in Sherwood Forest

Council President Lydia Grant told the board at its June 10, 2026 general meeting that a developer in the Sherwood Forest area is renting out three accessory dwelling units that are 3,800 square feet each, all on a single property, for around $55,000 per month. Grant said the original bill intended ADUs in the range of 400 to 800 square feet and that wording open to interpretation has allowed developers to build units far larger.

Grant noted that Sunland-Tujunga is designated a high fire zone and that excessive development raises safety concerns. A program is in development to help predict evacuation times for the area, the minutes note.
