Design Review, Variance for Height and Hi[lside Area Construction Permit
Design Review Study
Address: 2202 Summit Drive Meeting Date: 04/25/OS
Request: Design review, variance for height and hillside area construction permit for a first and second story
addition.
Applicant and Property Owner: Warren Donald
Designer: Jack Chu, Chu Design & Engr., Inc.
General Plan: Low Density Residential
•\I._ �\�II►��•y%QG�iI]
Lot Area: 116,218 SF (2.668 acres)
Zoning: R-1
Site Description: The entrance to the 2.668 acre site is located at the intersection of Summit, Canyon and Easton
Drives (see attached aerial and parcel map). The main portion of the site is located approximately 600 feet from
the entrance on Summit Drive and is accessible through a private driveway. The site slopes approximately 110
Feet from the upper portion of the site to the existing culvert. Easton Creek, a creek which drains the surrounding
hillside area to San Francisco Bay, traverses along the western half of the property to an existing 160-foot long,
30-inch culvert. The culvert extends approximately 50 feet into an adjacent pazcel and then becomes an open
creek for approximately 250 feet, and flows to an existing 24-inch culvert which runs under Canyon Road. An
existing 6-inch sanitary sewer line is located parallel to the existing house and runs under the existing drivewayto
Summit Drive.
History: On December 9, 2002, the Planning Commission approved an application for a mitigated negative
declaration and creek enclosure permit to allow construction of an 82-foot extension ofthe existing culvert. The
project included filling a portion of the creek adjacent to the house and re-routing the existing creek through a 30-
inch cuivert in order to have some useable yazd area. The creek enclosure was completed in 2004.
Summary: The existing two-story house contains 2,495 SF of floor area (0.02 FAR), and has four bedrooms.
The applicant is proposing a 688 SF first floor addition at the rear of the house and a 1,072 SF second floor
addition above the existing house and new first floor addition. With the addition, the floor area will be increasing
from 2,495 SF (0.02 FAR) to 4,255 SF (0.04 FAR) (exempting 100 SF of covered porches and chimneys) where
8,000 SF (0.06 FAR) is the maximum allowed (maximum house size allowed is 8,000 SF regazdless ofratio to
lot size). The proposed project is 3,745 SF below the maximum allowed FAR. A variance For height is required
(57'-5" proposed where 30'-0" is the maximum allowed). It should be noted that because of the slope on the lot
the existing first floor finished floor (elevation 244.91') is 27'-8" above average top of curb level (elevation
2173').
With this project the number of bedrooms will be increasing from four to five. The existing detached two-car
carport (20' x 20') provides two covered pazking spaces and meets the requirement for a five-bedroom house.
One uncovered pazking space is provided in the driveway. All other zoning code requirements have been met.
The applicant is requesting the following:
• Design review for a first and second story addition (CS 25.57.010);
Variance for building height (57'-5" proposed where 30'-0" is the maximum allowed) (CS 25.28.060, a,
2); and
• Hillside area construction permit for a first and second story addition (CS 25.62.020).

Staff Comments: Since there is no construction proposed below the top of bank, a Streambed Alteration Pemut
is not required from the California Department of Fish and Game nor is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers review
required. The proposed project is categorically exempt from environmental review under CEQA. The
Engineering Department noted in their memo dated Apri16, 2005, that the preliminary geotechnical conditions
report prepazed by PG Soils, Inc., dated March 20, 2005, is acceptable. A full geotechnicaUsoils report will be
required prior to issuance of a building permit.
