Lewit, Senior Planner SUBJEGT: revision to approved ADU application Backqround �� : 1965•1003 (.'lJ!/!lt!!Il��.P'f�%Y!Y(l!'/1 The existing site on E�ston slopes down from Easton Drive to the rear of the property. The existing house and attached garage structure have a main level and a lower level. The garage structure has a rooftop deck, a main level garage, and a lower level mechanical room/ basement. The existing lower level space under the garage measures more than 5 feet from slab/dirt to the floor joists above and according to 2021 Zoning Code, is considered existing floor area. The main dwelling is a�tached to the garage structure by an elevated walkway leading from a second level deck at the back of the main house to the rooftop deck atop the garage. Because the garage structure is attached to the main dwelling by the walkway, the left side setback for the house is measured to the very rear wall of the garage and is non-conforming (5'-4" existing where 7 neet is required). The applicant receivecfi approval of an ADU application on December 10, 2021 to convert the lower level area bene�th the garage to a 549 SF ADU. The approved application also included a 100 SF trellis on the roof of the garage. The trellis was exempt from DSR because this addition to the main house (roof deck is attached to the main house) is less than 100 SF and matches the existing pllate height. Based on new ADU regulations, the applicant is now making an application to convert both the lower levpl and the garage to an ADU. The proposed ADU conversion does not require any covered parking for the ADU (per CS. 25.48.030(L)(c) )and no covered parking is required for the main dwelling (per CS. 25.48.030(L)(5)). The proposed attached ADU is converted from existing space that is considered part of the existing ra�ain dwelling (because the garage structure is attached to the main house) and therefore, there the City cannot limit the size and Cs. 25.48.030(H)(3)(a) does not apply (City Code needs to be updated). In addition, although City code currently states that the maximum ADU is 8�0 SF for studio/1 bedrooms and 1,000 SF for 2+ bedrooms, this does not apply to conversions per the most recent state codes. And although City code states that ADUs that are 850-1,000 SF must be counted towards maximum FAR for the site, the most recent state codes negate this. The proposed 1,100 SF ADU conversion is not counted towards the maximum FAR for the site. , .. � Community Development Department Memorandum September 18, 2023 25050 Easton Dr. Page 2 Approved by R.Hurin, Planning Marnager: Part One (General): For existing spaces within a detached structure or primary dwelling, HCD's ADU Handbook (updated July 2022) states that "The conversion of an existinq accessory structure or a portion of the existinq primary residence to an ADU is not subiect to unit size requirements." So for a project that only includes converting space within an existing detached structure or main dwelling, there is no limit on the size of the unit (e.g., ADU within an existing main dwelling may end up being larger than the main dwelling). It is weird that an attached ADU can end up being larger than the main dwelling, but this is what we have to work with. Code Section 25.48.030(H)(3)(a) was intended to limit the conversion of existing space within a primary dwelling to 50% of the primary dwelling, however based on the ADU Handbook we cannot limit it to 50%, so we'll need to amend this code section. Part Two (specific to 2505 Easton Drive): ■ Based on HCD's guidance in the ADU Handbook, it doesn't matter if we consider it an attached or detached structure, the ADU is not subject to unit size requirements. So for 2505 Easton Drive, they may convert the basement and garage to an ADU regardless of the size. And since we cannot limit the size of this conversion, we also cannot apply an FAR maximum to the site.
