Cool Resource

7/26/2021

Here is a really fun resource. Check out historicerials.com. For land investors this can prove valuable when researching historical land uses or if you need to see if there was ever a structure on the property, etc. 

I just looked at aerials of San Francisco from the 1930’s and 1940’s. You can see the Golden Gate about 15 years after it was completed and then on the other side of the bay, the Bay Bridge isn’t even built yet.  I dare you to start down the rabbit hole and see how long it takes to get out.

City planners gone amuck

7/23/2021

In this weeks edition of "City Planners Gone Amuck" we bring you this fine piece of work.
Few questions....
  1. Is this even real? Kinda looks like there is a driveway cut on either side of the pole so I am thinking yes.
  2. Who would buy this house? Would you??
  3. What kind of discount would you get for taking this on?
  4. Which came first...the pole or the house?

Interesting Illegal Subdivision article

7/21/2021

0 Comments

 
There’s a lot to be learned from this article. To summarize, the owner of three lots had two of them where the lot size was too small for the zone that it is in. If the lot was legally created, it would be considered legal non-conforming, or grandfathered. But in this case the lots were not legally created. In other words they were likely recorded at the county with a metes and bounds description or similar but they never processed the subdivision through the county. That constitutes an illegal subdivision. So the remedy that they proposed was to rezone the property to a zoning designation that has smaller minimum lot size requirements. If approved the lots would be of the appropriate size for that zone making it possible for them to be legally platted as is. Like I said, a lot here but very interesting. ​

Density

7/16/2021

Density is the measured as the number of dwelling units per acre (du/ac). A density bonus provides an increase in allowed du/ac, Floor Area Ratio (FAR) or height which generally means that more housing units can be built on any given site. This bonus is typically granted to a developer in exchange for the provision of affordable and sometimes age restricted (55+) communities. This doesn't just have to be for larger projects. It can be done for smaller ones as well. Another example of how unique entitlements can add value to an existing property
