Hillside Area Construction Permit
Address: 1827 Hunt Drive
Meeting Date: 4/26/99
Requests: Hillside area construction permit (CS 25.61.020) to add an attached single-car carport (298
SF) and a detached 10'-6" high storage shed (220 SF) at the rear of the lot at 1827 Hunt Drive, zoned
R-1.
Applicant and Property Owner: Robert Alfaro APN: 025-320-050
Lot Area: 19,900 SF
General Plan: Low Density Residential Zoning: R-1
Adjacent Development: Single Family Residential
CEQA Status: Article 19. Categorically Exempt per Section: 15301 Class 1-(e) 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 the addition.
Date Submitted: This project was submitted to the Planning Department after October 23, 1998 and
was reviewed under the R-1 District Regulations now in effect.
Summary: The applicant, Robert Alfaro, is requesting a hillside area construction permit to add an
attached single-car carport (298 SF) and a detached 10'-6" high storage shed (220 SF) at the rear of the
lot at 1827 Hunt Drive, zoned R-1. The storage shed is partially constructed. There are no other
changes to the main building proposed.
The total floor area of the existing two-story, seven-bedroom house is 4333.5 SF (0.22 FAR). The
proposed 298 SF carport addition and new 220 SF storage shed would bring the total floor area of the
house and accessory structure to 4851.5 SF (.24 FAR) (including the attached garage and covered
porch), where the allowed FAR is 7468 SF (.38 FAR). The carport addition will add a covered parking
space 9'-0" x 18'-0". There is a 20'-0" x 20'-0" attached garage which provides the required 2 covered
parking spaces for the seven-bedroom house. Since the new carport is not a required parking space, it
does not have to meet the 10'-0" x 20'-0" dimensional requirements for covered parking. The 220 SF
shed will be used for storage. The zoning code allows storage of up to 10 % of the area of the house
(463 SF allowed) without requiring a conditional use permit. The proposed storage shed meets all
accessory structure requirements.
Lot coverage would be increased to 3,516 SF (17.6%), which includes covered porches and accessory
structures (7960 SF, 40% allowed). The proposed height of the carport is 13'-10" and is below the
e�sting roof height (26' +/-) of their house. The 10' x 22' storage shed has a plate height of 8'-6" (9'-
0" allowed) and an overall height from grade of 10' 9" (15' -0" allowed). All zoning code requirements
have been met.
The hillside area construction permit was called up for review by a neighbor within 100' of the property.
The zoning code states that review for hillside area construction permits sha11 be based upon the
obstruction by the construction of the existing distant views of nearby properties. Emphasis shall be
