units. They aren't really three floors. Technically, we have a mezzanine because they are open <br /> to the lower floor. And that was one of the things we weighed when we looked at the <br /> residences; if we did a mezzanine kind of room on the upper floor, technically the building <br /> department looks at them as a mezzanine and not a full floor. <br /> I think working around the trees, in terms of the guest parking, we have some additional space <br /> there and I think we have some flexibility to make it work. Our hope was that we would provide <br /> a little variety of housing types that are so close to that transit, that's like three blocks away. <br /> The studios and the small 1,800-square-foot homes would offer a different kind of housing type <br /> to single people or single couples than we typically see in this neighborhood. It's sympathetic <br /> really to the houses, on the west side the houses are adjacent to another two-story house, two- <br /> story houses behind them, and they're all in the same range. We're 30 feet at the ridge and <br /> probably 27 feet at the eave line. So that's kind of where the thrust of where the architecture <br /> was coming from. If you have questions on that, I'd be glad to answer. <br /> Chair Ritter: Questions for either speaker? <br /> Commissioner Brown: So for the mixed use building with the studios up, is that considered per <br /> the City's Planning Division a three-story or two-story with a mezzanine? <br /> Ward: You know, I don't know. Planning looks at it differently than the building code. The <br /> California Building Code, I don't know <br /> Beaudin: A mezzanine level would be considered a third story. <br /> Ritter: All right, any other questions? <br /> Carey: You visited the whole height thing before and whether it's 30 feet, 50 feet, two or three <br /> stories, and everything's under interpretation. We're hoping that we evolved to a set height I <br /> think. Whatever you can get into it, I think height is the key element. <br /> Beaudin: And that's what we've been comfortable with as well and that's why we're <br /> recommending that the height be considered at 30 feet. You know, the difference between two <br /> stories and three stories when you're walking by on the street isn't perceptible, but height and <br /> massing are. So the idea here is to get a well-articulated architectural style that fits with the <br /> neighborhood. The street is interesting. It kind of narrows and widens as you go along Old <br /> Bernal, so whatever happens on this site will likely be newer, closer to the street, and I want to <br /> make sure what we put on the opposite side at this point in time is going to provide some <br /> balance for the street. Like I said, in some places it's wider than others, so I want to make sure <br /> we get a significant enough corner building and probably that residential building as well closer <br /> to the street if this is a site plan we stick with. <br /> Commissioner Brown: Yeah, I was just asking as it related to the Land Use Policy 15. That's <br /> why I was asking. So one final question and maybe it's not appropriate. The Alok Damireddy <br /> project and his email around of being denied at 32 feet; was his 32 feet to the top of the <br /> building or was it to the other dimension that you mentioned? And, any other comment around <br /> precedent-setting, fairness, etc. as it relates to this project. <br /> I would agree with Gerry's comments that at the end of the day when you're on the street, it's <br /> the mass of the building. <br /> EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, May 25, 2016 Page 8 of 22 <br />
