Design Review for a New, Two Story Dwelling and Special Permit for aiz Attached Garage
Address: 1550 Bernal Avenue Meeting Date: OS/12/03
Request: Design review and for a new, single-family dwelling and special permit far an attached
garage.
Applicant and Designer: James Chu, Chu Design 1550 Bernal Ave. APN: 025-213-080
Property Owner: Denise Laugesen Balestrieri Lot Area: 10,200 SF
General Plan: Low Density Residential Zoning: R-1
History: On February 24, 2003, the Planning Commission approved a parcel map for a lot line
adjustment to create a buildable lot at 1550 Bernal Avenue and an application for design review for a
new, two-story residence with a detached garage at 1544 Bernal Avenue (see chart at end of staff
report). Along with these applications, a proposal was submitted for development of the lot at 1550
Bernal Avenue with a new, two-story dwelling with an attached garage. However, the application for
the proposed dwelling at 1550 Bernal Avenue was withdrawn to resolve design issues and address the
concerns of a neighbor on an adjacent property. The approved parcel map created a parcel at 1550
Bernal Avenue with a 90.47-foot frontage on Bernal Avenue and a 5-foot public utility easement
running the length of the right side of the property. The parcel at 1550 Bernal Avenue requires a
private sewer easement across 1544 Bernal Avenue to connect to the sewer main in the easement east
of that property.
Summary:
The applicant is proposing a new, two-story, single-family dwelling with attached garage at 1550
Bernal Avenue. The proposed floor area on the parcel will be 3,601SF (0.35 FAR) where 4,364 SF
(0.43 FAR) is the maximum allowed. The first floor deck at the left side elevation of the proposed
dwelling will be built 4'-6" back from the top of bank line for the adjacent creek. There are 5 bedrooms
in the proposed dwelling and the proposed 2-car attached garage meets the code requirements for
covered parking spaces on the site. The attached garage requires a special permit. All other zoning
code requirements have been met.
The applicant is requesting the following:
• Design Review for two new, two-story single-family dwellings and an attached garage at 1550
Bernal Avenue (C.S. 25.57.010); and
• Special Permit for an attached garage (C.S 25.28.035,a).
