n September 2002, the State approved Assembly Bill AB 1866, which requires local agencies to permit second dwelling units in residential zones without discretionary action, or in other words, simply subject to a building permit. The purpose of the State law is to increase California s supply of affordable housing in response to a perceived housing crisis in many areas of the state.

With this goal in mind, Silvercrest/Western Homes Corporation put over 30 years experience to work to provide you with the “Backyard Home. These homes are built off-site to maximize efficiency, shorten the building time, and minimize disruption in your neighborhood.

Silvercrest gives you several choices of alternate floor plans. You can even choose your exterior elevation, siding, and roofing materials to match your existing home. A variety of interior decor selections are available including cabinetry, countertop, and floor covering.

“Backyard Homes are built to meet or exceed the H.U.D. Building Codes and local foundation requirements. All floor plans comply with Energy Star requirements and meet the maximum (Zone 4) seismic regulations.

These homes are delivered to site and installed on permanent foundations by authorized contractors. For more information, contact Silvercrest/Western Homes Corporation for a builder/distributor in California near you.
