Applicant and Designer: Kenny Yip Property Owner: Yan Li General Plan: Low Density Residential APN: 025-243-080 Lot Area: 5,250 SF 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 nnore than 50% of the floor area of the structures before the addition. Summary of Request: The applicant is requesting a one year extension of a previously approved application for Design Review for a first and second story addition to an existing single-family dwelling at 1537 Westmoor Road. The application was approved by the Planning Commission as a consent item on May 22, 2017 (see attached May 22, 2017 Planning Commission Minutes). The Planning Commission approval of this application became effective on June 1, 2017. This approval is valid for a period of one year during which time a building permit must be issued. The property owner notes that she has not yet been able to find a contractor to build the project, therefore is requesting additional time in which to secure their building permit. If granted, a building permitted will need to be issued by June 3, 2019 (June 15�falls on a Saturday). If the extension is not granted, the property owner will need reapply with a new application. There are no changes to the approved plans since the May 22, 2017 Planning Commission approval. Project Description of Previously Approved Project: The existing split-level house and attached one-car garage contains 1,689 SF (0.32 FAR) of floor area. The previously approved project includes a first and second story addition at the rear of house, increasing the total floor area to 2,091 SF (0.40 FAR), where 2,780 SF (0.53 FAR) is the maximum allowed. The project is 689 SF below the maximum allowable floor area. The existing house contains three bedrooms. With this application there is no increase in the number of bedrooms (the den on the lower level does not qualify as a bedroom since it is only accessible through another bedroom). A minimum of two parking spaces, one of which must be covered, are required for a three-bedroom house. The existing attached garage provides one covered parking space (11'-8" wide x 20'-0" deep clear interior dimensions); one uncovered parking space is provided in the driveway leading to the garage. All other Zoning Code requirements have been met. The following application was approved for this project: • Design Review for a first and second story addition to an existing single family dwelling (C.S. 25.57.010 (a) (2)).
