Description

(2) adjacent parcels, each containing 2 units (4 units total), each with an attached ADU, sitting on a combined 13,200 SF lot zoned RM-3-9 allowing up to 43.5 units per acre — located within the College Area Community Plan Update, a designated Transit Priority Area (TPA) and Sustainable Development Area (SDA). Based on base zoning density of 1 unit per 600 SF, the site may support 23+ units by right, with potential for additional density through state and local bonus programs.

The TPA designation eliminates parking minimums for new development and unlocks density bonus eligibility, while the SDA designation supports higher-intensity infill. Together, the zoning and overlays position this as a rare entitled land basis opportunity in one of San Diego's most consistently in-demand rental submarkets.

Both properties are currently operating as high-performing student rentals with executed lease escalations in place. 5602 Dorothy Dr (7BR/3BA, 2,111 SF) leases at $11,600/month through 25/26, stepping to $11,800 for 26/27. 5610 Dorothy Dr (7BR/4BA, 2,500 SF) leases at $11,600/month through 25/26, stepping to $11,850 for 26/27. Combined gross income of $23,200/month escalates to $23,650/month under executed leases with no lease-up risk — providing stable carry while development is pursued.

All square footage, lot sizes, zoning, and development potential to be verified independently by buyer.
