Design Review for a First and Second Story Addition
and Special Permits for a Detached Garage
Address: 1576 Cypress Avenue
Meeting Date: 4/14/03
Request: Design review for a first and second story addition and special permit for a reduction in the number of
parking spaces existing on-site and a special permit for a detached garage at 1576 Cypress Avenue, zoned R-1 (C.S.
25.28.040 and C.S.25.28.035((b)(e))
Property Owner/ Applicant: Peter and Sandy Comaroto
Designer: JD & Associates APN: 028-295-130
General Plan Designation: Low Density Residential Lot Area: 8,3000 SF
Date Submitted: February 25, 2002 Zoning: R-1
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.
Summary: The applicant is requesting design review for a iirst and second—story addition and a special permits for
a detached garage at 1576 Cypress Avenue, zoned R-1. The proposal includes demolishing the existing two-car
garage 20' x 20' (400 SF) providing side by side parking and constructing a new 504 SF tandem garage (14' x 36')
and would provide one 10' x 20' covered parking space on-site. A special permit is required for accessory structures
more than 28 feet in depth or width. The existing garage provides two code complying covered parking spaces,
where the new garage will only provide one, code complying covered parking space, therefore a special permit is
also required for the reduction in the number of parking spaces existing on-site. The remodeled house would have
four bedrooms, requiring one covered parking space.
The existing one-story house now contains 3,183 SF of floor area (0.38 FAR), including the detached garage. The
first floor addition would expand the kitchen and the family room and would add 190 SF along the right side of the
house. The 659 SF second floor addition would add two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The addition would
increase the floor area of the remodeled house to 4,138 SF (0.49 FAR), where 4,156 SF (0.50 FAR) is the maximum
allowed. The existing lot coverage is 35.3% (2,932 SF) and would increase to 39.5% (3,284 SF) where 40°/o (3,320
SF) is the maximum lot coverage allowed.
There is one covered parking space required for this four bedroom house. This space would be provided in the new
detached garage that is part of this proposal. The den is not considered a bedroom in terms of parking calculations
because the wall is open 50%to the hallway. The rear part of the new garage would be used for household storage
(approximately 210 SF/5.7% of the gross floor area of the house is proposed for storage in the accessory structure,
363 SF/10% of the gross floor area of the house is allowed for storage in accessory structure).
The applicant is requesting the following:
• Design Review for a first and second story addition;
• Special Permit for reduction in the number of parking spaces existing on-site; and
• Special Permit for an accessory structure greater than 28 feet in depth.

2 Special Permit for reduction of the number of existing parking spaces on-site
March 24, 2003 Design Review Study Meeting: On March 24, 2003, the Planning Commission reviewed this
project for design review (see attached 3/24/03 Planning Commission minutes). The Planning Commission
expressed a concern with the den because it appears to be a bedroom with a closet and a full bathroom. They asked
the applicant how it will be used and the applicant noted that this room will be used as a den, but that it is convenient
to have a bathroom downstairs, they will have two new bedrooms upstairs. Commission noted that the proposed
detached garage was rather long. Applicant noted that she circulated a survey to the neighbors requesting a response
to the proposed project, received positive responses from the neighbors. The Planning Commission voted to place
this item on the consent calendar.
After the study meeting, it was determined that a special permit is also required for the reduction in the number of
parking spaces on-site from two to one, with the demolition of the existing 20' x 20' garage. The house will have
2
nesign Reviex� & Specia! Permits for u Detached Gar•ctge 1576 Cypress Avenue
four bedrooms and is only required to provide one covered parking space, so the parking requirement is met with the
new garage.
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:
Compatibility of the architectural style with that of the existing character of the neighborhood;
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
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 March 24, 2003, design
review study meeting, the proj ect is not excessive, the design is consistent with the existing architecture of the house, and
fits in with the neighborhood character and is therefore found to be compatible with the requirements of the City's five
design review guidelines.
Findings for a Special Permit: In order to grant a Special Permit for garage length the Planning Commission must
find that thc following conditions exist on the property (Code Section 25.51.020 a-d):
(a) The blend of mass, scale and dominant structural characteristics of the new construction or addition are
consistent with the existing structure's design and with the existing street and neighborhood;
(b) the variety of roof line, facade, exterior finish materials and elevations of the proposed new structure or
addition are consistent with the existing structure, street and neighborhood;
(c) the proposed project is consistent with the residential design guidelines adopted by the city; and
(d) removal of any trees located within the footprint of any new structure or addition is necessary and is
consistent with the city's reforestation requirements, and the mitigation for the removal that is proposed is
appropriate.
Special Permit Findings: Based on the findings stated in the attached minutes of the Planning Commission's
March 24, 2003 design review study meeting, that the reduction in the number of existing parking spaces and the
length of the new detached garage is necessary to retain the most use of the rear yard space because of the unusual
shape of the lot; only one covered parking space is required for this project (4 bedrooms) and the new garage meets
that need to code dimensions, for these reasons the project is found to be compatible with the special permit criteria
listed in Code Section 25.51.020a-d.
Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission should hold a public hearing. Affirmative action should
be made by resolution and should include findings. The reasons for any action should be clearly stated. At the
public hearing the following conditions should be considered:
that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Department date stamped

second floors, which would include expanding the footprint or floor area of the structure, replacing or

review;
3. that the conditions of the Recycling Specialist's February 28, 2003 memo, and the City Engineer, Chief
Building Official, and Fire Marshal's memos dated March 3, 2003 shall be met;
4. that the project shall comply with the Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling Ordinance which
requires affected demolition, new construction and alteration projects to submit a Waste Reduction Plan and
meet recycling requirements; any partial or full demolition of a structure, interior or exterior, shall require a
demolition permit;

details (trim materials, window type, etc.) to verify that the project has been built according to the approved
Planning and Building plans;
that all air ducts, plumbing vents, and flues shall be combined, where possible, to a single termination and
installed on the portions of the roof not visible from the street; and that these venting details shall be

construction or addition are consistent with the existing structure's design and with the
existing street and neighborhood.
The garage has been designed to match the existing dwelling along with its new

36 feet has been kept to a minimum to keep bulk to a minimum. All other zoning codes
which are in effect to diminish mass and bulk have been met
2 Expdain how the variery of roof line, facade, exterior finish materiads and
elevations of the proposed new structure or addition are consistent with the existing
structure, street and neighborhood.

3 How will the proposed project be consistent with the residential design
guidedines adopted by the city (C.S. 25.57)?
