Design Review and Parking Variance for Parking Space

Design Review Study
��/Z�-,!
Address: 1109 Bernal Avenue Meeting Date: �-ifri/00
Request: Design review and parking variance for first and second floor addition to an existing single
story residence at 1109 Bernal Avenue, zoned R-1 (C.S. 25.57.010 and 25.54.020).
Applicant and Property Owner: Catherine Shiu
Designer: JD & Associates
Lot Area: 6,000 SF
General Plan: Low Density Residential
APN: 026-183-120
Zoning: R-1
Summary: The applicant is requesting design review and a parking variance for parking space
dimensions for a first and second story addition to an existing single-story house. The proposed
additions include 8 SF to the first floor and 1,070 SF for a second floor. The floor area of the proposed
residence totals 3,409 SF (.57 FAR) where 3,420 SF (.57 FAR) is the maximum allowed. The number
of bedrooms will increase from three to four, which requires a single-car garage. The existing garage
has interior dimensions of 11'-4" x 17'-8" with a 2'-0" overhang where 10'-0" x 20'-0" is required.
Therefore a parking variance is needed for parking space length. If in the future a two-car garage is
needed, it would require the addition of 192 SF and a F.A.R. variance. All other zoning code
requirements have been met.

VARIANCE APPLICATION
To have parking space length of 19'-6" vs the required 20'-0"
a This is an existing garage with a parking space that is deficient by 6" in length.
The concrete slab has a"step up" which has a clear dimension from the garage
door of 17'-6". Adding the 2'-0'� of allowed front bumper overhang the total
clear length is equal to 19'-6" and therefore deficient by 6" in length.
b Without the variance excessive expense would be involved in creating the
additional 6" in parking length and would result in an unreasonable request.
c The existing pa.rking space has been there for many years. Additionally
with the detached rear sited garage there is sufficient room in the driveway for
other additional parking area.
d The existing garage has been in this located since it was built and there are no
changes proposed.
