Entitlement · SB 684 Small-Lot Development
“The SAMO IX”
1949 17th Street · Santa Monica
The Project
Nine fee-simple homes, one Santa Monica lot.
“The SAMO IX” is a nine-home small-lot subdivision at 1949 17th Street, entitled under California’s SB 684 — a streamlined, ministerial pathway that splits a qualifying urban infill parcel into individually owned, fee-simple homes rather than a single multifamily building.
The program is eight two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residences of roughly 1,150 square feet each, plus one larger three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home at approximately 1,600 square feet — each with its own private rooftop deck.
The Tentative Tract Map has been approved and stamped, putting the project on a clear path from entitlement to construction.

The Rooftop

Minutes from the beach, Third Street Promenade, and the Expo Line, in a Santa Monica submarket that is severely supply-constrained.
