Why is adu feasibility different in Backcountry San Diego?

In Alpine, Ramona, and Julian, the foundational question isn't just square footage, it's whether the septic system has capacity, whether the well can support an additional unit, and how fire hardening requirements will shape every material on the project. Rural county parcels often have no public sewer connection and sit inside high fire hazard severity zones that add real cost to construction. A thorough site evaluation out here is the difference between a buildable ADU and a plan that can't survive the permitting process.
