Action Calendar
Meeting Date: 1/8/O1
Request: Conditional use permit for construction of a first floor addition closer than 4'-0” (distance
measured between roof eaves) to an existing accessory (C.S. 25.60.010, e).
Applicant/Designer: Ray Brayer, BC&D �N� 029-026-190
Property Owner: Mike and Noelle Engemann
Lot Area: 6000 SF Zoning: R-1
General Plan: Low density residential
Adjacent Development: Single family residential
CEQA Status: �icle 19. Categorically Exempt per Section: 15301 Class 1-(e) additions to existing
structures provided the addition will not result in an increase of more than 50% of the floor area of the
structures before the addition.
Summary: �e existing two-bedroom, single-story house contains 1,677 SF of floor area (0.28 FAR).
The existing laundry and nook area (106 SF) and uncovered deck (172 SF) at the rear of the house will
be demolished and replaced with a larger first floor addition and deck. The applicant is proposing a
389 SF first floor addition and to add a 224 SF uncovered deck at the rear of the house. The proposed
addition would add two bedrooms and increase the floor area of the remodeled house to 2,117 SF (0.35
FAR) where 3,402 SF (0.57 FAR) is the maximum allowed. With the proposed addition, the number
of bedrooms would increase from two to four (entertainment room qualifies as a potential bedroom).
The existing detached garage and driveway meet the requirement for a four-bedroom house (one
covered and one uncovered parking spaces). The proposed addition requires the following:
1. Conditional use permit for construction of a first floor addition closer than 4'-0" to an existing
accessory structure (0'-6" eave-to-eave separation proposed, where 4'-0" is the minimum required)
(C.S. 25.60.010, e).
Staff Comments: See attached. Planning staff would note that because of the nature of the proposed
addition to the house, it was determined that it could be brought forward directly to the action calendar.
If the Commission feels there is a need for more study, this item may be continued with direction to the
applicant.

necessary to secure the purposes of this title and to assure operation of the use in a manner
compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and character of existing and potential uses on
adjoining properties in the general vicinity.
