AddressIntel AI Briefing

An updated 1965 home located in a highly owner-occupied San Jose census block with no severe environmental hazards. The optimal play is stealth density (primary + ADU + JADU) using AB 1033 condo subdivision pathways to maximize rental yields. Teardown-and-mansionize is economically limited by the neighborhood's price-per-square-foot limits.

Buildable Headroom+1,397 sqft

Small, older home using a low share of the allowable building envelope on a sizable lot — a scrape-and-rebuild or major-expansion play. Zoning allows roughly 2,744 sqft of gross floor area on this lot.

Screening estimate comparing existing living area to the city's single-family floor-area limit. FAR figure is a discretionary-review trigger, not a hard cap — treat as approximate.
