Public Hearing Items
Use Permit/Rex McLean/1221 Windermere Ave.:
Request for a use permit to determine the Floor Area Limit (FAL) on a lot less than 5,000 square feet in area, and to remodel and construct first- and second-story additions to an existing nonconforming one-story, single-family residence on a substandard lot with regard to minimum lot width, depth, and area in the R-1-U (Single Family Urban Residential) zoning district. The proposal would exceed 50 percent of the replacement value in a 12-month period and requires use permit approval. The proposal would also exceed 50 percent of the existing floor area and is considered equivalent to a new structure. Continued from the meeting of July 14, 2025
Use Permit Revision/Manuchehr Shamalta/217 Marmona Dr.:
Request for a use permit revision to remodel and expand an existing two-story, non-conforming single-family home on a substandard lot in the R-1-U (Single Family Urban Residential) zoning district. The addition would be located on the second level, at the rear of the existing top floor. The original use permit was granted in 2005.
Use Permit/Vinod Madabushi/1611 Oakdell Dr.:
Request for a use permit to demolish an existing single-story residence, and construct a new two-story residence on a substandard lot with regard to lot width in the R-1-U (Single Family Urban Residential) zoning district.
