Has anyone in Sacramento successfully used prescriptive framing/construction detail sheets for a simple one-story ADU or residential project instead of full custom structural engineering details?

My engineer sent me an example of Los Angeles “Type V” single-story residential construction sheets that include standard framing, footing, shear wall, fastening, and span details that can apparently be referenced in plan sets for conventional wood-frame structures.

I’m trying to find out whether the City of Sacramento has something similar, accepts standard prescriptive framing sheets/details, or has a preferred approach for simple ADUs.

If anyone has experience with this through Sacramento Building, I’d appreciate any insight. Thanks!
