No need to tiptoe around an old home and obsolete floorplan to try and create your dream Riviera view estate . . . instead buy this parcel with approved plans for an exquisite Italian villa, on an ideally located and perfectly contoured big-view lot in the prized El Encanto old Riviera district. The floorplan is designed for convenience with the main common rooms, master suite and garage all on the entry level, with unobstructed panoramic ocean and city views. Additional bedroom suites and entertaining rooms are below, leading to an elegant pool and terraced gardens. Priced less than what you'd pay for a nearby old historic home, which would then cost more to re-invent to your needs (if even possible) vs. new construction. Here's a rare chance to build a plan-ready beautiful estate!

RS-15
One-Family Residence Zone
This zone is intended to provide areas for single-unit housing on individual lots at appropriate low densities of one unit per legal lot with allowances for an Accessory Dwelling Unit or Two-Unit Residential Development when certain standards are met. Designators (e.g. -25, -15) refer to minimum lot size in thousands of square ft or, in the case of RS-1A, acres. The regulations for the RS Zone are intended to limit activities which would be inharmonious with or injurious to the preservation and character of a residential environment. Nonresidential uses are limited to those that support daily life of neighborhoods and complement surrounding residential development. Nonresidential uses are strictly limited in order to mitigate impacts associated with nonresidential uses such as: traffic, increased parking demand, light, glare, and noise.
