The site supports subdivision into four legal single-family residential lots, each exceeding the 6,000 SF minimum required under current zoningno variances or zone changes needed. Under California Health & Safety Code 1566.3, each new residence may be operated as a licensed 6-bed Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) and is treated the same as any single-family home under local zoning. This eliminates the need for conditional or minor use permits, neighborhood approvals, or discretionary planning reviews.
