Applicant and Architect: Una Kinsella Property Owners: Jerry and Barbara Maley General Plan: Low Density Residential APN: 025-201-090 Lot Area: 5,250 SF Zoning: R-1 Background: An application for Design Review and Conditional Use Permit for a first and second story addition to an existing family dwelling was approved by the Planning Commission on August 22, 2016. The approval of this application became effective on September 1, 2016 and was valid for one year during which time a building permit must be issued. The property owners did not apply for a building permit during this time and filed for a one year extension on August 30, 2017; at that time there were no changes proposed to the plans originally approved on August 22, 2016. On September 11, 2017 the applicant received approval for a one year extension of the previously approved application for Design Review and Conditional Use Permit, however a building permit was never submitted and the entitlements (and extension) expired on September 21, 2018. The property owners have now hired an architect to redesign the project and have submitted a new application for Design Review. The previous proposal included removing the connection befinreen the house and the garage, which resulted in a detached garage and an application for a Conditional Use Permit (for a toilet in an accessory structure), however that is no longer part of the project. The other major change to the original project is that the second floor addition is now located towards the front of the house where the previously approved project had the second floor placed over the rear of the existing first floor. Project Description: The existing single story house with an attached garage contains 2,117 SF (0.40 FAR) of floor area and has two bedrooms. The garage is connected to the house by a roof and therefore is considered to be an attached garage; there is a center courtyard located behind the garage. The first floor remodel would retain all of the exterior walls and includes removing a 143 SF of covered patio area in the courtyard, infilling 108 SF of the covered area in between the garage and house to create an internal connection, and infilling 33 SF between the living room and Bedroom #2. A 667 SF second floor is proposed over the front portion of the house which includes two bedrooms and a full bathroom. With the proposed project, the floor area would increase to 2,706 SF (0.51 FAR) where 2,780 SF (0.52 FAR) is the maximum allowed. The existing house is nonconforming in lot coverage (42.2% existing where 40% is the maximum allowed), but would be brought into compliance with this proposal by reducing it to 39.9%. The existing one-car garage is nonconforming in covered parking space length (15'-3" existing where 18' is the minimum required for an existing garage). It is considered a one-car garage because it measures less than 18'-0" in width (17'-2" existing where 18'-0" width is the minimum required for a two-car garage). The existing garage would be modified to comply with current code standards for a covered parking space (10'-0" x 20'-0" clear interior dimensions provided where 10'-0" x 20'-0" is the minimum required). With this project, the number of potential bedrooms is increasing from two to four. The office on the first floor does not qualify as a bedroom since one of its walls is at least 50% open into the living room. Two parking spaces, one of which must be covered, are required on site. One covered parking space is provided in the (modified) garage and one uncovered parking space (9' x 18'-10") is provided in the driveway. All other Zoning Code requirements have been met. The following application is requested for this project: , Design Review 1704 Davis Drive ■ Design Review for a first and second story addition to an existing single family dwelling (CS 25.57.010 (a) �2))• 1704 Davis Drive Plans dated: August 30, 2019 Lot Size: 5,250 SF EXISTING PROPOSED ALLOWED/REQ'D SETBACKS _.. __ _ __ __.... _....__ _..:.. __ _.........
