AddressIntel AI Briefing

The optimal play here is an SB 9 lot split to construct multiple units on this deep 7,405 sqft lot. However, the liquefaction zone acts as an engineering blocker that will increase foundation costs and offset some profit margins. Despite this, the low entry price makes redevelopment highly attractive.

Flag / irregular · Corner lot · ~110 ft frontage × 118 ft deepa tucked-away rear unit is very private; access is typically via the pole driveway. A second street frontage lets an ADU take its own entrance and address.

Screening heuristic based on lot size, existing coverage, lot orientation, and hazard overlays. CA ADU law is ministerial statewide; verify max size, setbacks, and JADU owner-occupancy with the local planning dept.

FAR Utilization41% of allowed
Buildable Headroom+1,974 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 3,332 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.
