        "text": "ADU size significantly impacts both design complexity and overall cost, as larger units typically require more materials, labor, and potentially more extensive foundation work. Local regulations in areas like Pleasanton or Livermore also dictate maximum allowable ADU sizes, which can influence design options. Optimizing the layout within a smaller footprint can sometimes provide significant cost savings without sacrificing functionality.",
