Design Review and Hillside Area Construction Permit Design Review Study
Address: 2744 Summit Drive Meeting Date: October 11, 2011
Request: Design Review and Hillside Area Construction Permit for a first floor addition (trellis) to an existing
single family dwelling.
Applicant and Architect: SSA Landscape Architects
Property Owners: John L. and Susan Z. Savva
General Plan: Low Density Residential
APN: 027-221-190
Lot Area: 13,975 SF
Zoning: R-1
History: On September 25, 2009, a Hillside Area Construction Permit was approved to replace an existing first
floor deck with a new uncovered deck at the rear of the house. This deck has been constructed.
Project Description: The existing two-story house with an attached three -car garage contains 4,574 SF (0.32
FAR) of floor area. The applicant is proposing to add two trellises (86 SF and 414 SF) over an existing first floor
deck at the rear of the house. With the proposed trellises, the floor area will increase to 4,974 SF (0.35 FAR)
where the zoning code allows a maximum of 5,572 SF (0.39 FAR) on this lot (proposed FAR includes the 100 SF
covered porch exemption). The proposed project is 598 SF below the maximum allowed FAR and is within 11 %
of the maximum allowed FAR. There is no change in lot coverage (27.1 % existing where 40% is allowed) since
the proposed trellises will be constructed over an existing deck that was previously included in lot coverage.
The proposed first floor trellis addition is subject to design review because the plate height is exceeds 9'-0"
above finished floor (11'-10" proposed) (C.S. 25.57.010 (a) (2)). The proposed wood trellis will be constructed
using 8x8 posts, 6x12 beams and 4x6 joists and lattice. An application for Hillside Area Construction is also
required for the trellis addition.
With this application, there is no increase in the number of bedrooms proposed. The existing house contains
five bedrooms. A total of three parking spaces, two of which must be covered, are required and provided on site,
and therefore is in compliance with off-street parking requirements. All other Zoning Code requirements have
been met. The applicant is requesting the following:
■ Design Review for a first floor addition (trellis) to an existing single family dwelling (C.S. 25.57.010 (a)
(2)); and
■ Hillside Area Construction Permit for a first floor trellis addition (C.S. 25.61.020).
