Subdividing Encinitas lot
Anyone have any experience subdividing in San Diego? I recently acquired a 1.6 acre property in Encinitas on Manchester on the lagoon— with the intent to build a modest house near my favorite surf break, and recoup costs by parceling off the other half of the land .
The property is R2 zoned, and subject to Coastal Commission regulations. I am able to subdivide, and have had the land surveyed.
I’m so out of my league though. Help! Lol
anyone have any experience they can share? Mistakes to avoid etc?

@Chelsa Analei Seawolf - I would think the subdivision wouldn't be as difficult as permitting a new structure on one of the parcels. It should just be a simple admin subdivision if you are dividing one lot into two. It would be really difficult to get sound advice without consulting a civil engineer in depth about both the subdivision and permitting a new building on the land, they could run you through the process and costs with some level of accuracy. I would reach out to a few that have experience in the area.
