She said you can build a second structure on the property and rent it out if the main structure is your primary residence and the lot is > 10,000 sq. ft.
Can anyone confirm / debunk this ?
The Mount Casas proeprty could be outright zoned for it.This is easy to check. I think it would be in the listing if it were though.
California has a law that overides local jusrisdiction for certain types of accessory dwellings. For instance caregivers or elderly family members.Local jurisdiction must approve them if they meet state requirements. However these exceptions are made, there are pretty severe sqft. restrictions on these dwellings and I don’t believe they are legally rentable or are only rentable if the primary dwelling is owner occupied.There are lot size requirements.Setbacks have to be adhered to.
Anyone interested can google “California accessory dwelling laws”.
Outright zoning for second dwelling units or multiple legal SFR’s would be the best, of course. Many people get burned by thinking they have the zoning but there are many factors that could preclude getting a permit regardless.
