AddressIntel AI Briefing

The optimal play is stealth density: primary + ADU + JADU, as SB 9 is strictly blocked by flood and liquefaction hazards. Despite environmental risks, the enormous discount relative to regional ARV comps offers a highly lucrative ROI for developers who can mitigate the flood zone constraints.

Est. ADU Size1,200 sqft
Existing Coverage16.4%

Flag / irregular · Corner lot · ~96 ft frontage × 114 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.

Buildable Headroom+1,456 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 2,466 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.
