Item No. 8b
Regular Action Item
Meeting Date: June 12, 2017
Request: Application for Design Review for a first and second story addition to a single family dwelling and
construction a new detached garage and carport.
Applicant and Designer: Insite Design, Audrey Tse
Property Owner: Greg and Roseate Wagner
General Plan: Low Density Residential
APN: 026-173-150
Lot Area: 6,000 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 Class 1, (e) Additions to existing structures provided that
the addition will not result in an increase of more than: (1) 50 percent of the floor area of the structures before
the addition, or 2,500 square feet, whichever is less; or (2) 10,000 square feet if: (A) The project is in an area
where all public services and facilities are available to allow for maximum development permissible in the
General Plan and (B) The area in which the project is located is not environmentally sensitive.
Project Description: The subject property slopes from front to rear with an approximately 4 foot difference in
elevation; at street level the house appears as a single story home and at the rear there is lower level living
space. There is an existing single story detached garage located along the right side, located approximately 15
feet off of the rear property line. The applicant is proposing expand the kitchen 3'-6" at the rear of the first floor
along with a 1,015 SF second story addition. As part of the project, the existing detached garage will be
demolished and a new detached single car garage with a carport will be constructed along the rear property line,
in the right corner.
The first and second story addition and new detached garage and carport will increase the floor area to 3,401 SF
(0.56 FAR) where 3,420 SF (0.56 FAR) is the maximum allowed. Given the slope of the lot, there will be 94 SF of
the accessible crawispace that exceeds 6 feet in height. The Zoning Code states that accessible space between
the surface of the ground and the bottom of the first floor joists that measures six feet or more in height shall be
counted toward the total floor area. However, the code allows for up to a 100 SF deduction from floor area for
lower floors and therefore this space will not counted toward the total floor area.
The proposed second story addition will encroach into the declining height envelope along the left side; however
this portion meets the allowable encroachment for a dormer exemption. With the addition, the number of
bedrooms will be increasing from four to five. Three parking spaces, two of which must be covered, are required
on site. The new detached one -car garage (10' x 20' clear interior dimensions) and carport (10' x 20') will provide
two covered parking spaces. One uncovered parking space is provided in the driveway (9' x 20'). All other
Zoning Code requirements have been met. The applicant is requesting the following application:

Staff Comments: See attached memos from the Building, Parks, Engineering, Fire, and Stormwater Divisions.
Design Review Study Meeting, May 22, 2017: The Planning Commission reviewed this project as a Study
item at their May 22, 2017 meeting. The Planning Commission had the following comments and concerns and
voted to place this item on the regular action calendar when revised plans are submitted and reviewed by staff:
• Feels like it was designed from the inside out;
• Exterior elevations feel disorganized;
• Revisit window placement, doesn't seem to be a pattern;
• Pull the design together so that the elevations relate, looking for a bit more cohesiveness
between the first and second floors;
• Roof pitch needs work, concerned about the parapets;
• Try to match roof pattern on the first floor;
• Revisit the stairway window; perhaps consider four smaller window units together;
2
Design Review 1212 Vancouver Drive
• Encourage the preparation of perspectives from the left and right.
The applicant submitted a response letter and revised elevations date stamped June 2, 2017. A summary of the
revisions is provided below:
• Changed second floor roofline to coordinate elements of the main floor;
• Second floor windows on the front elevation have been reduced in width;
• Overall building height reduced;
• Rendering of the proposed project has been provided;
• Window added along right side elevations, toward the front; and
• Window at the stairway along the left side elevation has been revised.
Please refer to the applicant's June 2, 2017 letter of explanation for a detailed explanation of the changes made
to the plans since the study meeting.
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:
Compatibility of the architectural 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 for Design Review: That the architectural style, mass and bulk of the addition is
compatible with the existing character of the neighborhood; that the windows and architectural elements of the
proposed addition respect the interface with the main floor below. The materials and finishes of the proposed
addition are consistent with the existing structure. All elevations are well articulated and help to break up the
massing of the structure, which increases in height towards the rear due to the slope of the lot; for these reasons
the project, may be found to be compatible with the requirements of the City's five design review criteria.
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. Action should include specific
findings supporting the Planning Commission's decision, and should be affirmed by resolution of the Planning
Commission. The reasons for any action should be stated clearly for the record. At the public hearing the

There were no questions of staff.
Chair Gum opened the public hearing.
Audrey Tse and Greg and Roseate Wagner represented the applicant.
Commission Questions/Comments:
> Building feels like it was designed from the inside out; feels like the exterior is a bit disorganized .
Doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason to the window placement. Looking for something that pulls the
design together.
> Feels the same as the other Commissioners. Not certain that the roof pitch works; was looking for
something more like a pattern that is present on the first floor. Also concerned about the parapets.
Encouraged the preparation of perspectives from the left and right. (Tse: felt that having a second story
with the same roofline as the first floor made it look more like a civic building; were trying to fit it in with
the neighborhood.) Is an eclectic neighborhood. Looking for a bit more cohesiveness between the first
and second floors.
> Provide examples of a couple of homes that have the "western -style" parapet.
Public Comments:
There were no public comments.
Chair Gum closed the public hearing.
Commission Discussion:
> Doesn't have a programmatic issue
> Applicant could revisit the stairway window; perhaps consider four smaller window units together
that could still qualify for the declining height exception.

Regarding: First and Second Story Addition @ 1212 Vancouver Avenue — Project
Comments from the Planning Commission
Dear Ms. Keylon,
Please find attached revised plans addressing the comments/suggestions that came from
the Planning Commission at the May 22❑d, 2017 meeting.
We took the suggested design ideas for addressing the second floor roofline into
consideration. Though we studied an asymmetrical approach to the upper floor our
client would like as much as possible to maintain some symmetry on the upper floor.
That was one of the reasons they liked the originally proposed elevation so much. The
newly proposed front elevation has an upper floor roofline that coordinates with
elements found on the main floor. The window sizes have been reduced in width so
they feel better in proportion to the lower floor but we have maintained the arched
windows for added architectural character, another element that our client liked a lot
from the original design. The newly proposed front elevation reduces the overall
height of the structure by nearly 1.5 feet.
2. A rendering of the proposed elevations is attached for your reference as requested.
The side elevations have been addressed with respect to roofline and window sizes,
profile and alignment. On the left side elevation we improved the shape and detailing
of the large window over the stairwell. As well, with the reduction in size of the
windows in the upper front bedrooms, we added a second window to each of the
bedrooms and aligned them with those in the floor below. The roofline over the
stairwell carries over the design aesthetics and architectural elements from the front
elevation.
Sincerely,
oti'll—
