Design Review Amendment
Address: 463 Cumberland Road
Item No. 8b
Action Item
Meeting Date: September 22, 2014
Request: Application for Design Review Amendment for changes to a previously approved first and second
story addition to an existing single family dwelling.
Applicant and Architect: Una Kinsella
Property Owners: Brian and Barbara Kott
General Plan: Low Density Residential
APN: 029-163-070
Lot Area: 5,750 SF
Zoning: R-1
Environmental Review Status: The project is Categorically Exempt from review pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per Section 15301 (e)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, which states that
additions to existing structures are exempt from environmental review, provided the addition will not result in
an increase of more than 50% of the floor area of the structures before the addition.
History and Proposed Amendment to Design Review: An application for Design Review, Special Permit
for declining height envelope and Side Setback Variance for a first and second story addition to an existing
family dwelling at 463 Cumberland Road was approved by the Planning Commission on June 23, 2014
(June 23, 2014 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes attached). A building permit was issued in August
2014 and construction is underway.
The applicant is now requesting an Amendment to Design Review for the changes listed below. Please
refer to the applicant's letter dated September 9, 2014 for a full explanation and rationale for the proposed
changes.
Increase the size of the kitchen by 30 SF on the first floor at the rear, center of the house (see
revised Site Plan, Proposed Main Level Plan and Proposed Rear and Right Side Elevations). The
proposed lot coverage would increase to 27.3% (1,572 SF) where 40% (2,300 SF) is the maximum
allowed. The proposed floor area ratio would increase to 2,809 SF (0.49 FAR) where 2,940 SF
(0.51 FAR) is the maximum allowed). The proposed addition complies with side and rear setback
requirements.
2. Eliminate the previously proposed new window along the right side of the house in the dining room
(see revised Proposed Main Level Floor Plan and Proposed Right Side Elevation).
3. Replace the existing fixed window (containing no grids) in the living room at the front of the house
with new double-hung windows with grids to match existing and new windows (see revised
Proposed Front Elevation).
4. Revised window grid pattern to match existing grid pattern (see revised building elevations).
Project Description (based on original approval): The existing split level house and attached single-car
garage contains 2,121 SF (0.37 FAR) of floor area and has three bedrooms. The design review application
approved by the Planning Commission in June 2014 included a first and second story addition at the front
and rear of the house. With the proposed project, there was an increase in the floor area from 2,121 SF
(0.37 FAR) to 2,779 SF (0.48 FAR) where 2,940 SF (0.51 FAR) is the maximum allowed. The proposed
project was 161 SF below the maximum allowed FAR and is therefore within 5% of the maximum allowed
FAR.
The first floor wall along the right side property line is nonconforming because it is set back 2'-10" where
4'-0" is the minimum required. The applicant requested a Side Setback Variance to extend the first floor
wall along the right side property line at the front and rear of the house (2'-10" existing and proposed where
4'-0" is the minimum required).
Design Review Amendment 463 Cumberland Road
The second story wall along the right side property line is nonconforming because it encroaches into the
declining height envelope by 47 SF (3'-6" x 13'-6"). The applicant requested a Special Permit for declining
height envelope to extend the existing second story wall at the front and rear of the house. The new wall
will encroach into the declining height envelope by 65 SF (3'-6" x 13'-5" and 3'-6" x 5'-0").
The existing house contains four bedrooms (the existing utility room behind the garage qualifies as a
bedroom because it is enclosed and measures 70 SF in area). With the project, there was no increase in
the number of bedrooms (the existing utility room will be converted to laundry room, relocating the washer
and dryer from the garage). Therefore, two parking spaces, one of which must be covered, were required
on site for a four-bedroom house. The existing attached garage provides one covered parking space (10' x
18' clear interior dimensions provided where 10' x 18" is the minimum required for an existing garage). One
uncovered parking space (9' x 20') is provided in the driveway. All other Zoning Code requirements have
been met. The following applications were approved by the Planning Commission on June 23, 2014:
■ Design Review for a first and second story addition (C.S. 25.57.010 (a) (2);
Special Permit for Declining Height Envelope (right side wall of the proposed second floor addition
encroaches in to the envelope by 65 SF (3'-6" x 13'-5" and 3'-6" x 5'-0") (C.S. 25.26.035 (c)); and
• Side Setback Variance to extend the first floor wall along the right side property line at the front and
rear of the house (2'-10" existing and proposed where 4'-0" is the minimum required) (C.S.
25.26.072 (c) (1)).

The project at �63 Cumberland Rd is in the demolition phase of construction. 'I'he clients, Brian and Barbara Kott
are requesrin� some alterarions to the approved plans to improve the proposed Kitchen configuration and adjust
some windows for consistency in grid pattern as well as to increase privacy.
Please note the following mociifications to the Cover Sheet, Floor Plan Sheet, and �?levarion Sheet
by UMK Architecture dated `re�-ised )/8/14'
Owner Rec�uested Revision
1. Expand portion of first floor rear wall of
Kitchen to increase floor area bv 29?5 SF. This
change does not impact rear or sideyard setbacks
or Lot coverage or F�R.
See Sheets CS, r�3 & �4
Architect's Explanation
The proposed Iutchen expansion w�ll allow for a
slighdy larger Living Rm, to center the e�sting
Fireplace in the room, and to accommodate
more functional aisle spaces in the Kitchen.
The revision improves the rear wall articulation and
adds visual interest on the Rear elevarion.
2. Remove proposed new window along right-
side wall of Dining Room.
See Sheets A3 & A4
During demolition, it became apparent that the
location of the proposed new window would
impact privacy between the adjacent neighbor's
Living Room and the new open floor plan of
the T)ining Room/Ki�chen. `Y'ith the increased
glazing along the rear wall of the Dining room,
this will not impact natural light or ventilation
in the space.
3. Keplace �,xisting iixed windows (with no �rids) in
front wall of Living Room to Double Hung windows
with grids to match existing.
See Sheets r�3 & ��_�
During demolition, there was dryrot found in the
existing Living Rm window wall. F.xisring
windows will be replaced and will be consistent
��ith Style/pattern of rypical �vindows for an
improved front elevation.
4. �djust window �rids for consistenc5� with e�:istin�
window patterns.
See Sheet A4
It recendy became apparent that the original grid
pattern indicated on the approved elevations
was not consistent with the existing grid
patterns. Larger windows are n�w modified
from 4 lites to 6 lites to match the existing grid
pattern. �lso, the grids on the rear French
doors are removed for the Client's preference
for a clear �-iew to the rear yard.
�'e hope that these requested adjustments will meet with your approval.
Respectfully,
�JWu'�

All Commissioners had visited the property. Commissioner Sargent noted that he was not at the Design
Review meeting for the project but viewed the video. There were no other ex-parte communications to
report. Reference staff report dated June 23, 2014, with attachments. Planning Manager Gardiner
presented the report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Thirteen (13) conditions were suggested for
consideration.
Commission questions:
■ Is it possible the washer and dryer could be enclosed within the laundry room without it being
considered a bedroom? (Strohmeier: Would need to review specifically what was being proposed.)
Chair Bandrapalli opened the public hearing.
Una Kinsella represented the applicant:
Made adjustments to the plans in response to Commission comments.
Support from the neighbors, including three letters that were not included in the staff report.
Commission questions/comments:
Would it be possible to create a connection between the garage and the laundry room? (Strohmeier:
Depends on how the Building Division would classify the room. Could be submitted in building
permit.)
What material are the existing windows? (Kinsella: Anderson 400 Series vinyl.)
Public comments:
None.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
Comments:
■ Special Permit fits within the design aesthetic.
■ Side setback variance continues an existing condition, and a substantial portion of the original
house is being maintainted.
■ Variance is for 1'-2" but if was only 1 foot it would be a Minor Modification.
■ Applicant makes good argument that if they conformed to the 4-foot setback the visual impact might
be even greater than the simplified facade they have proposed.
Commissioner Sargent moved to approve the application, by resolution, with the following conditions:
that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Division date stamped
June 11, 2014, sheets CS, C-1, A-1 through A-4 and L-1;

Staff Review:
Second Comments:
15. The plans show that the right side of this structure is less than three feet from the
property line. Revise the plans to show that there are no openings on this side of the
building and that gable end venting and attic ventilation will be achieved through other
means. 2013 CBC §705.8.1 and Table 705.8
The response states: "Inset new 1St and 2"d floor walls + 1.5" for 3"-1/2" side yard
setback." P/ease note that, although this is an existing huilding (home
constructed in 1940) openin_qs were never al/owed within 3 feet of the property
line. Further, because this building is considered a new building, see comment
#10, all openings must comply with the current Building Code.
Provide construction drawings that clear/y detail how all openings, existing
windows, new windows, gable end venting, and attic ventilation, will comp/y with
the Building Code by being placed more than 3 feet from the property line.
NOTE: A written response to item #15 and plans that specifically address item
#15 must be re-submitted before this project can move forward for Planning
Commission action.
