Design Review
Address: 1661 Albemarle Way
Request: Design review for a first and second story addition.
Applicant and Architect: Randy Grange, TRG Architects
Property Owners: John and Carolyn Leung
General Plan: Low Density Residential
APN: 025-205-020
Lot Area: 5,000 SF
Zoning: R-1
Summary: The existing single-story house, with an oversized 357 SF attached garage, contains 2,065
SF (0.41 FAR) of floor area and has two bedrooms. On the first floor, the applicant is proposing to
remodel the interior and replace an existing 207 SF patio cover with a new 102 SF trellis at the rear of
the house. A new 832 SF second floor is proposed at the rear, center of the house. With the proposed
addition, the floor area will increase from 2,065 SF (0.41 FAR) to 2,692 SF (0.54 FAR) (excludes 100
SF covered porch/trellis exemption) where 2,700 SF (0.54 FAR) is the maximum allowed. Planning
staff would note that the existing lot coverage is nonconforming (41.3% existing where 40% is the
maximum allowed), but will be reduced by this project to 39.6% (proposed). With this project, the
number of potential bedrooms will increase from two to four. The existing single-car attached garage
(17'-6" x 20'-5" clear interior dimensions, 357 SF) provides one covered space and one uncovered 9' x
20' space is provided in the driveway (one covered and one uncovered parking spaces are required).
All other zoning code requirements have been met. The following application is required:
• Design review for a first and second story addition (CS 25.57.010, a, 5).
