The optimal play is an SB 9 lot split into multiple units, utilizing the spacious back yard and clear access pathways. Liquefaction is a minor hazard blocker that will require soils reports and specialized foundation engineering. Upgrading the main 1948 cottage alongside the split will maximize the overall value of the site.

Back-of-the-napkin deal analysis across development strategies.
We don't hold this jurisdiction's floor-area rule, so the default builds to roughly 3,851 sqft from a conservative 0.40 FAR approximation, a starting point and not a zoning answer. Check the local code before you rely on it.
Median of 12 recent single-family sales in Santa Clara (95051): $993/sqft. Sized within 50% of the 3,900 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.
