Strong Towns just published an article about a Florida city with a library of 
pre-approved house plans, which is a similar concept.

Several Texas cities have pre-approved plans for ADUs, with variations 
depending on lot size and configuration. 


In the meantime, my former NJ town is tied up in knots over proposed changes to 
the master plan that might allow a few two-family homes. Interesting how 
different regions are responding (or not responding) to the housing shortage.
