Luxury Remodeling in Villa Park

Villa Park covers about 2.1 square miles, has the smallest population of any city in Orange County and is almost completely surrounded by the City of Orange. It incorporated in 1962 with every parcel zoned for 20,000-square-foot small estates, and the north and east of the city are still zoned entirely that way, with a small band of smaller lots along the western edge easing the transition from Orange.

With very few vacant residential lots remaining, a new pool, outdoor room or ADU almost always means reworking an established property. Each of those projects starts with site plan review, where the Planning Director weighs compatibility with neighboring homes, and it has to respect a three-foot pool setback from every property line and a 50 dBA ceiling on equipment placed in a setback.

Along the northeastern edge, where CAL FIRE maps High and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, the parcel's zone also guides the choice of decking and exterior materials.

A predominantly residential city of single-family homes with very few vacant lots left. At incorporation in 1962 a single 20,000-square-foot small estates zone covered the whole city; a later change carved out a small westerly band of 8,000- and 12,000-square-foot lots as a transition from Orange, and the north and east remain zoned entirely for 20,000-square-foot small estate lots.

Newly created E-4 lots must be at least 20,000 square feet, lots of 17,000 square feet and up carry a 30-foot front setback, and the rear setback is 25 feet at every lot size.
