Design Review and Parking Variance
Item # � �
Design Review Study
Address: 1312 Alvarado Avenue Meeting Date: 07/11/OS
Request: Design review and parking variance for a first and second story addition.
Applicant and Architect: Nancy Scheinholtz
Property Owner: Suzanne Rogers
General Plan: Low Density Residential
APN: 027-194-120
Lot Area: 6,000 SF
Zoning: R-1
Summary: The existing two-story house, with an attached one-car garage, contains 2,661 SF (0.44
FAR) of floor area and has three bedrooms. The applicant is proposing a 134 SF first floor addition
and a 336 SF second floor addition at the rear of the house. With the proposed addition, the floor area
will increase from 2,661 SF (0.44 FAR) to 3,017 SF (0.50 FAR) where 3,020 SF (0.50 FAR) is the
maximum allowed (includes exemptions for covered porch and chimneys). The proposed project is 3
SF below the maximum FAR allowed on this property.
With this project, the number of potential bedrooms will increase from three to four. One covered (10'
x 20') and one uncovered (9' x 20') parking spaces are required for increasing the number of bedrooms.
The existing attached garage measures 15'-3" wide x 16'-6" deep. However, because there are two
posts in the middle of the garage, 7'-6" x 16'-6" clear interior dimensions are provided for one covered
parking space. The existing covered parking space is nonconforming in width and length. Therefore, a
parking variance is required for substandard covered parking space width and length (7'-6" x 16'-6"
existing where 10' x 20' is the minimum required). All other zoning code requirements have been met.
The following applications are required:
• Design review for a first and second story addition (CS 25.57.010, 5); and
• Parking variance for existing substandard covered parking space width and length (7'-6" x 16'-
6" existing where 10' x 20' is the minimum required) (CS 25.70.020, 2).
