Max ADU Units2 (ADU + JADU)
Est. ADU Size1,200 sqft
Existing Coverage17.6%

Flag / irregular · Corner lot · ~103 ft frontage × 129 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.

Redevelopment Potential

ClassTeardown candidate
FAR Utilization39% of allowed
Buildable Headroom+1,673 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 2,744 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.
