Item # 3 }'
Consent Calendar
Address: 1312 Alvarado Avenue Meeting llate: 07/25/OS
Request: Design review and parking variance for a first and second story addition.
Applicant and Architect: Nancy Scheinholtz APN: 027-194-120
Property Owner: Suzanne Rogers Lot Area: 6,000 SF
General Plan: Low Density Residential Zoning: R-1
CEQA Status: Article 19. Categorically Exempt per Section: 15301 Class 1(e)(1) - additions to
existing structures provided the addition will not result in an increase of more than 50% of the floor
area of the structures before thc addition.
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 bedrooins.
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.
Thc 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).

2 Parking variance for existing substandard covered parlcing space width and length (7'-6" x 1G-6"
existing where 10' x 20' is the minimum required).
Staff Comments: See attached.
July i l, 2005, Design Review Study Meeting: At the Planning Commission design review study
meeting on July 11, 2005, the Commission noted that the proposed design is well done, blends in well
with the existing house, and that the bay window as proposed is acceptable, and therefore placed this
item on the consent calendar (July 11, 2005, Planning Commission Minutes). The Commission also
noted that the parking variance is appropriate because the posts which limit the parking spaces in the
garage are existing. No changes to the project were suggested.
Planning staff would note that because there were no changes suggested, the project was placed on the
subsequent consent calendar for your review.
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
Design Review and Parking Va�-iance 1312 Alvarado Avenue
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.
Findings: Based on the findings stated in the attached minutes of the Planning Commission's July 11,
2005, design review study meeting, that the first and second floor addition is well-designed, blends in
well with the existing house and enhances the design of the community, the project is found to be
compatible with the requirements of the City's five design review guidelines.
Required Findings for Variance: In order to grant a 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), the Planning Commission must find that the following conditions exist on the property
(Code Section 25.54.020 a-d):
(a) there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property
involved that do not apply generally to property in the same district;
(b) the granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial
property right of the applicant, and to prevent unreasonable property loss or unnecessary
hardship;
(c) the granting of the application will not be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements
in the vicinity and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, general welfare or
convenience; and
(d) that the use of the property will be compatible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and character of
existing an potential uses of properties in the general vicinity.
Findings for Parking Variance: Based on the findings stated in the attached minutes of the Planning
Cominission's July 11, 2005, public meeting, that the existing house was built with a shorter garage
with two posts located in the center of the garage, that the posts represent a localized and minor
encroachment into the required parking space width and that the existing attached garage can
accommodate two vehicles, that the parking dimension variance is unique to this structure and its
design and should not go with the property, the project is found to be compatible with the variance
criteria listed above.

RE�f�IVED
VARIANCE APPLICATION FOR 1312 ALVARADO AVENUE JUN 1 5 2005
A. Describe the exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicabl��'� oF auRUNGa,ME
to your property which do rcot apply to other properties in this area. P�NNiNG �EPT.
The house was built in 1937 with two garage doors facing the street. There have
been no changes to the street fa�ade of the home. In order to make the garage meet
the current requirements, the existing garage would need to be made deeper by
adding on to the front of the house and thus changing the original fa�ade. In order
to meet the current width requirement, the posts and their footings inside of the
garage would need to be relocated to create a wider space. Other properties in the
neighborhood have similar garages or were built later than this house when cars
were larger and spaces were designed to accommodate the larger cars. Some
garages in the neighborhood are detached one car garages in the rear yard.
B. Explain why the variance reguest is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment
of a sub��turztial property right and what unreasonable properry loss or unrcecessary
hardship rraight result from the denial of the application.
This variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of an existing
condition. The garage has always been a substandard size and it would truly be an
unnecessary hardship to require the owner to enlarge it. The reason that we are
seeking this variance is because we are adding a 4`h bedroom on an existing roof
deck. The family has three children and they need more space. The denial of this
variance will deny ttiem the right to add a fourth bedroom or add a great deal of
unnecessary expense to a project.
C. Explairc why the proposed use at the proposed location will not be detrimental or
injurious to property or improvements irc the vicinity or to public health, safety,
general welfare or convenience.
There will not be any adverse affect on the neighborhood if this variance is granted.
The house has always had this size garage. The house has also had the same family
with three children living in it. The addition will barely be visible from the street.
The proposal is to extend the kitchen nine feet into the rear yard, (no variance
required) and build a bedroom and bath on top of the kitchen. The public health
and safety of the neighborhood will not be affected if the garage is left as it is.
D. How will the proposed project be corr�patible with the aesthetics, mass, bulk and
character of the existing and poteratial uses on adjoining properties in the general
vicinity.
The proposed variance will not change the aesthetics, mass or bulk and character of
the home because the variance is to leave the parking as it is. The addition of the
bedroom is barely visible from the street. The proposal will improve the rear fa�ade
of the home and the new kitchen will be more in scale with the size of the home.
