The optimal play is stealth density: primary + ADU + JADU to build upon the existing, highly-renovated structure rather than a full rebuild. Pursuing a complete SB 9 lot split is heavily restricted by local liquefaction hazard zones, which act as a costly construction blocker. Leveraging the turn-key condition for immediate cash-flowing ADU additions represents the safest path in this active Mountain View pocket.

Parcel & Zoning Info
ADU Potential
Deep lot · Corner lot · ~58 ft frontage × 109 ft deep, room to set a detached ADU back from the street with a buffer, reads as a separate home. 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.
Redevelopment Potential
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 2,340 sqft of gross floor area on this lot.

Proforma ROI Calculator
Back-of-the-napkin deal analysis across development strategies.
Zoning allows roughly 2,340 sqft on this lot, and the default builds to that envelope. The FAR figure is a discretionary-review trigger, not a hard cap.
Median of 12 recent single-family sales in Mountain View (94043): $1,140/sqft, plus 5% because new houses sold at a median 1.07x their comps across 239 real rebuilds. Sized within 25% of the 2,300 sqft build, because smaller houses sell for more per foot and pricing a rebuild off them overstates resale.
Commission, transfer tax and closing. Deducted from resale before profit, so the ROI below is net of the exit rather than gross.
Interest on the purchase price for the whole project plus half the build budget, since construction draws ramp up. The default is 7% over 33 months, the median purchase-to-sale time of 239 real Peninsula and South Bay rebuilds. Set the rate to 0 for a cash purchase, or use your own lender's terms.
