Detached ADU income pathup to +800 sf
ADU/JADU combined bonus cap800 sf total

Flexible Palo Alto R-1 planning logic: a clean attached-JADU home is the base path, while ADU and larger-envelope concepts preserve optional upside.

Three Development Paths

Path Area Current Lens 3-Yr @ 4%
Attached JADU~3,559 sf$7.0M-$7.5M$7.9M-$8.4M
Detached ADU~3,859 sf$7.2M-$7.9M$8.1M-$8.9M
Optional basement~5,493 sf+$7.6M-$8.5M+$8.5M-$9.6M+

3-year lens applies 4% annual appreciation, below the recent 2023-2025 Palo Alto rebound but above the conservative 2% case. Optional basement upside is buyer-to-verify. Builders and owner-users should independently underwrite final scope, timing, and resale assumptions.
