        "text": "Converting a garage into a living space or an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) in Pacifica typically requires various permits from the city's planning and building departments. These may include building permits for structural changes, electrical permits for wiring, plumbing permits for water and sewage lines, and zoning approval for the change of use. Depending on the project's scale, you might also need permits for grading or environmental review. It is crucial to consult with a local contractor and the City of Pacifica's planning department early in the process to ensure full compliance.",
