AddressIntel AI Briefing

The optimal play is stealth density: primary + ADU + JADU, utilizing the strong 82/100 ADU feasibility score to maximize the high-income demographic target. Liquefaction zones pose a minor blocker that slightly increases structural engineering costs, making a full teardown-and-mansionize less cost-effective. Excellent comps over $3M support a high ARV potential.

ADU Potential

Feasibility Score82/100
Max ADU Units2 (ADU + JADU)
Est. ADU Size1,200 sqft
Existing Coverage24%

Flag / irregular · Corner lot · ~75 ft frontage × 110 ft deep, a 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.

Redevelopment Potential

FAR Utilization48% of allowed
Buildable Headroom+1,300 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 2,500 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: San Mateo Muni Code 27.18.060 (R1-B/C); 6,000 sqft cap (as of 2026-06-30). Verify FAR, coverage, setbacks, and height with the local planning dept.
