The applicants, Steven and Janet Cook, are requesting a variance to the off street parking requirement for the addition of a 590 square foot second story room/1oft wj.th a 7.5 foot ceiling. A variance is required because the existing four bedroom house has on 1y one on site covered parking space uhere two are required. The only Uniform Building Code (UBC) requirenent.s not met by the present addition built without a building permi.t are the window si1I height and having an operable window of required dimensions. In 0ctober, 1985 the applicant requested and received a buildi-ng permit to add a 415 square foot family room on thefirst f1oor. In November the applicant made application to add a 590 square foot second floor loft area as part of roof recongtruction. Staff determined a variance r.ras needed and no building pernit wasissued. A site inspection in January revealed that the second storyaddition had been built. The Planning Commission voted to deny the vari.ance at their January 13 neeting. Council discussion3 the zoning code does not define a bedroom; if variance is denied they uould have Lo remove the floor or raise it so the loft could not be an occupiable area; cei.ling hei.ght is 7.5 feet; council can restrict use of the room and record the restriction uith property title i if approved the window in loft nust be operable and have a sill height no more than 44 inches from floor. Councilman Pagliaro questioned if bedroom is defined as room with closet, City Planner said that nowhere j.n the city code is bedroon defined and neither i"s closet nentioned.

Architect Ronald Simamoto stated the roof had been rai.sed four feetfor the loft in reply to council quesLion; the chimney was also raisedfour feet. He reviewed his letter of February 3 in vhich he suggestedapplicant could remove one bedroom on first floor to elininate the need for a variance; he noted this is jusL a suggestion to al1owapplicant to keep the loft area already bui1t, they would rather keepthe bedroom do$nstairs.
