increase to 2,422 SF (0.44 FAR)with the new garage, where 2,975 SF (0.55 FAR) is the maximum allowed.
There is a 100 SF wooden trellis over the front entrance along Humboldt Road that meets the exemption for both
lot coverage and floor area.

house. The upper floor of the gaxage is proposed for use as a recreation room and will have a half bath. The side
of the garage facing the yard will have a built in grill and fireplace. The total square footage of the garage will be
632 SF in area. Design review is required for this project as per code section 25.57.010(e) which states that
