Design Review
Address: 1530 Drake Avenue
Request: Design review for a second story addition.
Applicants and Property Owners: Martin and Theresa Dillon
Designer: JD & Associates
General Plan: Low liensity Residential
Item # rf
Design Review Study
Meeting Date: 03/28/OS
APN: 026-032-140
Lot Area: 6000 SF
Zoning: R-1
Summary: The existing single-story house, with a detached two-car garage (540 SF), contains 2,428
SF (0.40 FAR) of floor area and has two bedrooms. On the first floor, the applicant is proposing to
replace the existing front porch at the same location and size, and add an interior stairway to the new
second floor. A new 983 SF second floor is proposed which would contain three bedrooms, two
bathrooms and a laundry room. A new storage room (312 SF) is proposed next to the existing utility
pit (293 SF). Because the new storage room has a ceiling height of less than 6'-0", it i� exempt from
floor area ratio. A 100 SF lower floor exemption was applied to the utility pit since its ceiling height is
greater than 6'-0" (6'-9" existing). With the proposed remodeling/addition and porch and lower floor
exemptions, the floor area will increase from 2,428 SF (0.40 FAR) to 3,411 SF (0.57 FAR) where
3,420 SF (0.57 FAR) is the maximum allowed (includes covered porch exemption). The proposed
project is 9 SF below the maximum allowed FAR. The existing lot coverage is nonconforming at 44%
where 40% is the maximum allowed. However, since the lot coverage is not being increased with this
project, a lot coverage variance is not required.
With the proposed addition the house will have five bedrooms, which requires two covered and one
uncovered parking spaces (the family room qualifies as a bedroom). The existing detached two-car
garage is nonconforming in length (26'-3"W x 19'-3"D clear interior dimension) and since no changes
are being made proviues two covered parking spaces which meets the parking requirement. A parking
variance is not required for the covered parking space length because the garage is detached from the
main dwelling and there is no work proposed to the detached garage. A 9' x 20' uncovered space is
provided in the driveway. The applicant is requesting the following:
• Design review for a second story addition (C.S. 25.57.010, a, 5).
