Buyers have multiple development paths: maintain the current 20-lot configuration, reduce to 19 lots to bypass inclusionary housing requirements, or re-entitle under California’s Density Bonus Law to achieve up to 64 units. The modest density bonus scenario allows for 40 units, including affordable housing components, while maximizing the bonus could yield a 12 du/acre project with 54 market-rate and 12 affordable units.
The site benefits from three points of access—via I Street, Hilltop Drive, and Whitney-Mankato Street—and is located within the Chula Vista Elementary and Sweetwater Union High School Districts. Estimated development impact fees are approximately $65,235 per unit based on a 2,500 SF product. The property is not located in a fire severity zone, and utility services are provided by Sweetwater Authority.
This is a compelling opportunity for builders and investors seeking a flexible, well-located project in a growing submarket with strong resale comps and scenic appeal.
