AddressIntel AI Briefing

Since the existing home is listed as brand new, a teardown is out of the question; the optimal path is a stealth density (primary + ADU + JADU) play to utilize the high 96/100 ADU feasibility. This strategy preserves the premium value of the main house while capturing additional high-end rental income. Note that construction must factor in moderate fire hazard zoning, which will slightly elevate materials costs and insurance premiums.
