Plan Review Comments
Project Address: 1576 Cypress Avenue
Application: ADU conversion of existing detached garage (as-built ADU — work done in approximately
2015) and addition to a detached ADU
Date of Review: 3.12.20
Lot Area: 8,300 SF per SMC Assessor's record (irregular shape)
Zoning: R-1
APN: 028-295-130
P/ease address all items marked with a"► " symbol at the time of Building permit submittal for the ADU.
1. Accessory Dwelling Unit (Code Section 25.59 — using updates effective January 29, 2020)
• Proposed work is a legalization of an as-built ADU in what was an existing detached garage (built and
finaled as a garage in 2015 #B13-0487) and a proposed addition to the detached structure to create a
larger ADU. There is no record of permits for the existing ADU, but current regulations make it possible to
convert this space that was approved as detached covered parking.
a. Existing conditions on this interior lot include a two-story main dwelling with a detached accessory
structure.
b. The proposed detached garage conversion (As-built and totaling 14' x 36' = 504 SF) and addition (334
SF) creates an 838 SF ADU. The ADU has one bedroom, a full kitchen, and a full bathroom.
c. The proposed ADU meets the current ADU requirements at the time of submittal, including a maximum
height of no more than 16 feet and new windows that are no closer than 3 feet from any side or rear
property line, and no required setbacks because it is within the rear 30% of the lot, with the exception
of:
► the front elevation musf be revised at time of Building Permit application to remove the existing, non-
functional garage door. This elevation must be revised to contain at least one window or a door (glazed
openings must be at least 3 feet from the right-side property line).
2. Parking
Existing: no covered parking because detached garage was converted without benefit of permits and
5 uncovered (9' x 20') in the driveway at the right side of the lot
Proposed: no change
Required: 0 covered + 1 uncovered ((9' x 20') for the main dwelling
• Project complies with on-site parking requirements. Under current regulations, a project that proposes a
garage conversion to an ADU is not required to replace covered parking for the main house or to provide
uncovered parking for the new ADU.
3. Miscellaneous
► Planner notes that the applicant can expect comments from the Fire Division related to fire sprinklers at
time of Building Permit.
Please see the green and red lettered sections in the attached handout (posted on- line and distributed at
the Planning Division counter starting January 29, 2020) which states that the garage door must be
removed and that fire sprinklers will be required for the ADU if they are a/so required for the main dwelling
unit.
