Design Review and Special Permit
Address: 1432 Vancouver Avenue
Item No. 7a
Consent Calendar
Meeting Date: April 23, 2018
Request: Application for Design Review and Special Permit for Declining Height Envelope on the left side for a
second story addition to an existing single-family dwelling.
Applicant and Designer: Geurse Conceptual Design, Jesse Geurse
Property Owner: Kareem Fahmy
General Plan: Low Density Residential
APN: 026-054-180
Lot Area: 5,400 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 (e) (1) of the CEQA Guidelines, which states that
additions to existing structures are exempt from environmental review, provided the addition will not result in an
increase of more than 50% of the floor area of the structures before the addition.
Project Description: The subject property contains a split level house with a one car attached garage. The
property lot is substandard at 45' wide and abuts a 10-foot City right-of-way along the left side that contains a
sewer line. The existing house is non-conforming with only a 10-inch left side setback (adjacent to the 10-foot
City right-of-way). The house is also non-conforming in floor area ratio (FAR) exceeding the maximum allowed
by 61 SF, at 2,889 SF (0.53 FAR) where 2,828 SF (0.52 FAR) is the maximum allowed.
The applicant is proposing to remove approximately 142 SF of the first floor family room located at the rear, left
side and to add 81 SF on the second floor. The proposed project would result in a reduction to both the lot
coverage and the floor area, with the new FAR proposed at 2,828 SF (0.52 FAR) where 2,828 SF (0.52 FAR) is
the maximum allowed. The project also includes an interior remodel of the area behind the attached garage
which would add an office or fourth bedroom.
The existing house currently encroaches into the Declining Height Envelope along the left side and the proposed
addition would continue this encroachment into the Declining Height Envelope for a length of 5'-3", a total
encroachment of 37.18 SF (7'-1" x 5'-3") which requires a Special Permit.
The existing attached garage provides one covered space (14' x 18') and one uncovered space (9' x 20') is
provided in the driveway. C.S. 25.70.030(a)(4) allows an existing garage with an eighteen (18) foot depth interior
dimension to be considered to meet the dimensional requirements for a parking space for projects that are for
additions to existing single-family dwellings. While the project involves modifications to the interior of the first
floor, the rear wall of the garage would remain intact. The number of bedrooms is increasing from three to four
bedrooms which does not change the parking requirement of one covered (10' x 20') and one uncovered space
(9' x 20'); therefore the parking requirements is currently met.
The applicant is requesting the following applications:
■ Design Review for a second story addition to an existing single family (C.S. 25.57.010(a)(2))); and
■ Special Permit for Declining Height Envelope- 37.18 SF (5'-3" x 7'-1 ") along the left side encroaches into the
declining height envelope (C.S. 25.26.075)).

The only changes to the plans, date stamped April 16, 2018, since the Design Review Study meeting are architectural and did
not change compliance with the zoning regulations as shown in the above table.
Staff Comments: See attached memos from the Chief Building Official, Fire Division, Engineering Division,
Parks Division, and Stormwater Division.
Design Review Study Meeting: At the Planning Commission design review study meeting on April 9, 2018, the
Commission had a few comments and clean up items needed on the plans and voted to place this item on the
consent calendar when all of the required information has been submitted (see the attached April 9, 2018,
Planning Commission Minutes).
The applicant submitted revised plans and a letter dated April 16, 2018 in response to the Planning
Commission's comments at the Design Review Study meeting. The applicant notes that the elevation references
on sheets A.5, A.6 and A.7, which were incorrectly labeled, have been revised/corrected. The roof eaves at the
porch (from the left side elevations) have been corrected to match the existing front elevation. The applicant
notes that they also looked at changing the bay window at the rear of the second floor for bedroom #3, but have
decided to leave it unchanged. There was a comment at this meeting regarding the family room that is currently
-2-
Design Review and Special Permit 1432 Vancouver Avenue
at the rear of the first floor; staff researched the permit history and notes that this room was added to the building
in the late 1950's (about 1959).
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 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 proposed project, with the removal of a portion of the first
floor and a minor extension (5'-3") of the existing second floor, will help to tie together the rear elevation more
cohesively with an overall reduction in the maximum floor area. The architectural style, mass and bulk of the
addition is compatible with the existing house and improves the rear of the existing house. The proposed work is
not visible from the front of the house and is consistent with the character of the neighborhood; therefore the
project may be found to be compatible with the requirements of the City's five design review criteria.
Findings for a Special Permit: In order to grant a Special Permit, the Planning Commission must find 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 for the removal that is proposed is
appropriate.
Suggested Special Permit Findings for Declining Height Envelope: That because the house is currently
located only 10-inches off of the left side property line, the proposed addition, while only 81 SF extending the
existing second floor 5'-3", cannot be accommodated without encroaching into the declining height envelope
given the existing non-conforming condition. The proposed addition results in an encroachment of 37.18 SF into
the left side declining height envelope, however there is a 10-foot City right-of-way (drainage easement) located
immediately adjacent to the property along the left side that provides a buffer between the adjacent properties.
The architectural style that would result from a code complying project, within the declining height envelope,
would not be compatible with the existing massing and style of the home. The proposed work is not visible from
the front of the house and is consistent with the character of the neighborhood and will provide a cohesive
architectural style that improves the existing rear elevation, therefore the project may be found to be compatible
with the special permit criteria.
1. that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Division date stamped
April 16, 2018, sheets T.0 through AD.2;

Re: Remodel plans for 1432 Vancouver
To Whom it May Concern:
We live at 1436 Vancouver and would like take the opportunity to offer this letter to document our support of
our next door neighbors Kareem Fahmy and Dina Ibrahim at 1432 Vancouver. They are proposing a remodel
of their home to add two bathrooms and a bedroom. We understand that the planning commission requires
documentation of neighbor approval and support of the recent design changes. We have received and reviewed
the remodel designs and approve of the changes with no objections whatsoever. The added privacy to our home
following the proposed removal of one of their upstairs windows is a welcome change.
If you have any questions or concerns we can be contacted via email at i� _ com or by phone at
650.^
Best,
Lance and Laura Kelly
