Public Hearing items
Use Permit/Rucha Shah/108 Blackburn Avenue
Request for a use permit to remodel and add a new second-story to an existing nonconforming single-story, single-family residence located on a substandard lot with regard to minimum lot width in the R-1-U (Single Family Urban Residential) zoning district. The proposed work would exceed 50 percent of the replacement value of the existing nonconforming structure over a 12-month period. The proposed project would also exceed 50 percent of the existing floor area and therefore is considered equivalent to a new structure.
Use Permit/Linder Jones/919 Arnold Way
Request for a use permit to partially demolish, remodel, and add a second story addition to an existing nonconforming single-story, single-family residence on a substandard lot with regard to minimum lot width in the R-1-U (Single Family Urban Residential) zoning district. The proposed work would exceed 50 percent of the replacement value of the existing nonconforming structure in a 12-month period. The applicant is also requesting a use permit to allow an existing six-foot tall wall to be maintained within the front setback, approximately 14.8 feet from the property line, which would exceed the maximum four foot height limit for walls, fences, and hedges within the required front setback. The proposal includes the addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), which is a permitted use and not subject to discretionary review.
