AddressIntel AI Briefing
The home is already fully updated, making a stealth density: primary + ADU + JADU play the most logical route to preserve the existing structure. While an SB 9 lot split is technically possible, it is heavily undercut by the active liquefaction zone blocker, which would inflate engineering and foundation costs.

Parcel & Zoning Info
ADU Potential
Flag / irregular · Corner lot · ~99 ft frontage × 111 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
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.

Back-of-the-napkin deal analysis across development strategies.
Zoning allows roughly 2,500 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 San Mateo (94403): $1,112/sqft. Sized within 25% of the 2,500 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.
Carry on total capital for the project duration. At 0% the model is a cash purchase; 12 months at a typical construction-loan rate moves ROI by 6 to 10 points on a deal this size, so price it with your real rate.
