In urbanized areas, this exemption may be applied to the construction or conversion of up to three (3) single-family residences as part of a project. Project Description: The subject property is an interior lot. The applicant is proposing to demolish an existing one-story single family dwelling and detached garage to build a new, two-story single family dwelling and detached garage. The proposed house would have a total floor area of 3,255 SF (0.54 FAR) where 3,255 SF (0.54 FAR) is the maximum allowed. Two parking spaces, one of which must be covered, are required for the proposed four-bedroom single-family dwelling. One covered parking space is provided in the detached garage (11'-2" x 21'-0" clear interior dimensions) and one uncovered parking space (9' x 20') is provided in the driveway. The project is in compliance with off-street parking requirements. The applicant is requesting a Special Permit for the proposed building height of 32'-0", where a Special Permit is required for a height between 30 and 36 feet (see attached Special Permit Application).

Staff Comments: None This space intentionally left blank. 6�.a Design Review and Special Permit 1365 Vancouver Avenue Desi�gn Review Study Meeting: At the Planning Commission design review study meeting on June 28, 2021, the Commission complimented the design of the project. The Commission recommended that the second floor balcony stucco posts and metal railings at the front elevation be changed to wood to harmonize with the design of the house, and voted to place this item on Regular Action (see attached June 28, 2021 Planning Commission Min�ates). The applicant submitted revised front and left elevations (plan sheet A.4), date stamped June 29, 2021, to address the Planning Commission's comments. Design Review Criteria: The criteria for design review as established in Ordinance No. 1591 adopted by the Council on April 20, 1998 are outlined as follows: 1. Compatibility of the architecturai style with that of the existing character of the neighborhood; 2. Respect for the parking and garage patterns in the neighborhood; 3. Architectural style and mass and bulk of structure; 4. Interface of the proposed structure with the structures on adjacent properties; and 5. Landscaping and its proportion to mass and bulk of structural components. Suggested Findings forDesign Review: That the architectural style, mass and bulk of the proposed structure (featuri�ng hip and gable roofs, proportional plate heights, composition shingle roofing, aluminum clad wood windows with simulated true divided lights, wood doors, and wood details) is compatible with the character of the neighborhood and that the windows and architectural elements of the proposed structure are placed so that the struc#ure respects the interface with the structures on adjacent properties. For these reasons, the project may be found to be compatible with the requirements of the City's five design review criteria. Required Findings for a Special Permit: In orderto grant a Special Permit, the Planning Commission mustfind that the following conditions exist on the property (Code Section 25.51.020 a-d): (a) The blend of mass, scale and dominant structural characteristics of the new construction or addition are consistent with the existing structure's design and with the existing street and neighborhood; (b) the variety of roof line, facade, exterior finish materials and elevations of the proposed new structure or addition are consistent with the existing structure, street and neighborhood; (c) the proposed project is consistent with the residential design guidelines adopted by the city; and (d) removal of any trees located within the footprint of any new structure or addition is necessary and is consistent with the city's reforestation requirements, and the mitigation forthe removal that is proposed is appropriate. Suggesfed Findings for a Special Permit (Building Height): That because the subject property slopes up from �he street with a difference of approximately 8'-0" between the sidewalk and finish floor of the house and the building height is measured from the average top of curb elevation, it results in an overall taller roof height and causes the roof of the house to extend to 32'-0" above average top of curb level; that the encroachment above the 30' height limit is comprised of a pitched roof with minimal impact to the appearance of bulk and mass; and tha$ the variety of roof line, fa�ade, exterior finish materials and elevations of the proposed new structure complement the existing neighborhood. For these reasons, the project may be found to be compatible with the special permit criteria. -3- Design Review and Special Permit 1365 Vancouver Avenue Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission should conduct a public hearing on the application, and consider public testimony and the analysis contained within the staff report.
