Zoned R 1-8. Many possibilities. The San Jose planning department told me that “The minimum lot size for the R-1-8 Zone is 5,445 SF. So yes, 1207 N Capitol Ave is able to be subdivided.” It may be possible to change zoning and build mixed use development, commercial, or other uses however we cannot make any guarantees for City approval – buyer to investigate options with the City of San Jose.
