The optimal play is stealth density: primary + ADU + JADU to utilize the generous 8,438 square foot lot with a low 13% coverage ratio. Note that high-risk environmental factors like a designated flood zone and liquefaction act as hard blockers that completely kill any potential SB 9 lot split play.

ADU Potential
Deep lot · ~56 ft frontage × 154 ft deep, room to set a detached ADU back from the street with a buffer, reads as a separate home.
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 3,375 sqft of gross floor area on this lot.
Screening estimate comparing existing living area to the city's single-family floor-area limit. City sets no explicit FAR (or is not individually curated); allowable area is a conservative estimate. Source: conservative default (0.40 FAR — city not individually curated) (as of 2026-06-30). Verify FAR, coverage, setbacks, and height with the local planning dept.
