Tecate: Tecate sits in the backcountry hills just north of the border crossing, where lots run large and the heat builds fast inland through summer.

Why is detached adu different in Backcountry San Diego?

Alpine, Ramona, and Julian properties run on septic and well systems, and that changes the ADU conversation before you even pull a permit because capacity has to be confirmed first. Fire zone requirements add another layer, from defensible space to ember-resistant vents and roofing materials that meet current CAL FIRE standards. A detached ADU out here is absolutely doable, but it takes a team that understands rural infrastructure, not just residential construction.
