Amendment to Design Review and Hillside Area
Construction Permit
Address: 2628 Summit Drive Meeting Date: September 12, 2011
Request: Amendment to Design Review and Hillside Area Construction Permit for changes to a previously
approved first and second story addition.
Applicant and Architect: Ellis A. Schoichet, AIA APN: 027-271-050
Property Owners: Wayne and Julissa Westerman Lot Area: 19,387 SF
General Plan: Low Density Residential Zoning: R-1
Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per Section 15301 (e)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, which states that additions
to existing structures are exempt from environmental review, provided the addition will not result in an increase
of more than 50% of the floor area of the structures before the addition.
Project History: On December 13, 2010, the Planning Commission approved an application for Design Review
and Hillside Area Construction Permit for a first and second story addition to an existing single family dwelling at
2628 Summit Drive, Zoned R-1 (December 13, 2010, Planning Commission Minutes).
On February 28, 2011, the Planning Commission approved an application for Design Review Amendment and
Front Setback Variance for changes to the previously approved first and second story addition due to the original
attached garage being structurally deficient. A building permitwas issued on July 14, 2011, and construction is
currently underway.
Proposed Revisions: The applicant is now requesting an Amendment to Design Review and Hillside Area
Construction Permit for changes to the previously approved first and second story addition at 2628 Summit
Drive, Zoned R-1. The applicant is requesting the following changes:
■ A 5.8 SF addition to the mechanical enclosure along the left side of the house;
■ A 35.1 SF bay window addition at the kitchen nook area off the rear of the house;
■ Modification of stair, walk and retaining wall areas around the rear of the house;
■ The guardrail at the rear elevation was changed from wood to decorative metal; and
■ Enlargement of the second story terrace over the proposed first level bay window.
The applicant submitted a letter describing all of the changes in the plans on August 26, 2011. Other than the
changes listed above, there are no changes to the design of the house. The applicant is requesting the following
application:
Amendment to Design Review and Hillside Area Construction Permit for proposed changes to a
previously approved first and second story addition.
Summary of Previously Approved Project: The existing single-story house with an attached three-car garage
contains 3,591 SF (0.18 FAR) of floor area and has three bedrooms. The applicant is proposing to add 368 SF
along the left side of the existing first floor, to increase the ceiling height in the living room to over 12'-0" and to
build a new, 560 SF second story. With the proposed project, there will be an increase in the floor area from
3,591 SF (0.18 FAR) to 5,048 SF (0.26 FAR) where 7,304 SF (0.38 FAR) is the maximum allowed. The
proposed project is 2,256 SF below the maximum allowed FAR.
With this project, the number of potential bedrooms is increasing from three (3) to four (4). Two parking spaces,
one of which must be covered, are required on site. The existing attached garage will be rebuilt in its existing
location and will provide three code-compliant covered parking spaces (30' x 20' clear interior dimensions). One
Design Review Amendment and Front Setback Variance 2628 Summit Drive
uncovered parking space (9' x 20') is provided in the driveway. All other Zoning Code requirements have been
met. The applicant was approved for the following applications on December 13, 2010 and February 28, 2011:
■ Design Review for a first and second story addition to a single family dwelling (CS 25.57.010, a, 5);
■ Hillside Area Construction Permit for a first and second story addition (C.S. 25.61.020); and
■ Front Setback Variance for replacement of the existing attached garage (12'-8" existing and proposed,
where 16'-1", block average, is the minimum required) (CS 25.28.072 b).
