AddressIntel AI Briefing

A stealth density: primary + ADU + JADU development is the best path forward given the compact lot size and the fact that SB 9 is strictly blocked by flood zone and liquefaction hazards. Leveraging the move-in ready condition of the main home allows developers to focus capital entirely on detached ADU construction.

ADU Potential

Feasibility Score66/100
Max ADU Units2 (ADU + JADU)
Est. ADU Size1,200 sqft
Existing Coverage22.9%

Deep lot · Corner lot · ~51 ft frontage × 94 ft deeproom 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

Redevelopment Score55/100
ClassExpansion room
FAR Utilization51% of allowed
Buildable Headroom+868 sqft

Meaningful unused floor-area headroom under current zoning — room to add square footage. Zoning allows roughly 1,764 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. Source: SJMC 20.30.200; 20.100.1020 (Single-Family House Permit) (as of 2026-06-30). Verify FAR, coverage, setbacks, and height with the local planning dept.
