The deferred maintenance presents an opportunity for the buyer to renovate and modernize the property, potentially increasing its leasing appeal and rental income. This could involve upgrading the façade, parking lot, enhancing landscaping, or improving common areas. Opportunities for expansion or redevelopment are available, allowing for additional revenue streams. Within the existing Neighborhood Commercial (C-N) zone, a senior living facility is permitted with the approval of a conditional use permit (CUP). Upon full or preliminary application submittal, the City’s development review team would consider this potential project’s compatibility with the site and surrounding neighborhood. A consideration for a facility provider may be proximity to a hospital or medical facility from the property. With regard to the potential of rezoning to a residential zone. A rezone to Single Family (R-1) is the most intensive residential density the City may be supportive of. Currently, the maximum density in the R-1 zone is 6 dwelling units per acre. A zone change would also require a general plan amendment, which is a legislative request that requires city council approval. At a minimum, this type of project application would require the preparation of an initial study by one of our environmental consultants to assess what type of environmental review is warranted. Buyers are advised to check with the City for all development possibilities!
