What a Buyer Will Check
Caution: hillside, no frontageAbout 1.0 acres of vacant residential land on New Mills Rd in San Diego, zoned RS-1-7, single-family, 5,000 sq ft lots. The zoning allows about 4 homes (5,000 sq ft lots, on the ground under 25% slope). Most of it is steep: lidar puts the median slope at 29%, with 54% of it over 25%, and the soil survey calls it diablo-urban land complex, well drained, very limited for houses. It sits outside the flood zone and any fire zone.
