BACKGROUND The applicants are proposing to construct the above-noted additions to the home located at 4558 Second Street. Additions of this nature are processed as administrative design review applications, requiring notification to the neighbors, who may request a hearing to address any concerns with the project. After the City circulated the required notice to inform the adjacent neighbors of the applicants' intent to build the proposed additions, Dustin Boyce, the neighbor at 4546 Second Street, requested a Zoning Administrator hearing. The proposed addition complies with all applicable Code requirements, including setbacks. However, Mr. Boyce had previously applied for addition to the rear of his house. The neighbor's application is pending Planning Commission review. Should the neighbor's addition be approved and built, the applicants' proposed one-story addition on the north side would not comply with the separation requirement between dwellings. Therefore, the applicant was directed by staffto also apply for a variance in case the neighbor's addition is approved and built. The applicants have submitted the variance application in conformance with this direction. Variance and administrative design review applications are subject to review by the City's Zoning Administrator. The Zoning Administrator is empowered to approve, approve in modified form, or deny variance and administrative design review applications. PROPOSED PROJECT The applicants propose to construct one-story additions totaling approximately 291 sq. ft. on the front, north side, and rear of the house and two-story additions totaling approximately 294 sq. ft. on the southern side and rear ofthe house. A porte-cochere and second-floor balcony would also be constructed on the southern side of the house and a covered porch would be constructed on the front of the house. In addition, the existing shed-style roofs at the rear of the home would be changed to a gable-style roof. The additions would be set back a minimum of 50\12 and 37 feet from the front property line for the addition and porch, respectively; 7 feet from the northern side property line; 18\12 and 6 feet from the southern side property line for the second floor addition and porte-cochere/balcony, respectively; and 53 feet from the rear property line. The proposed additions, totaling 585 square feet, would result in a 3,1 78-square-foot house and a 26.7% floor area ratio (FAR) on the approximately 11 ,888-square foot lot. With the proposed roof modification, the height of the house would measure approximately 24 feet 8 inches as defined by the Municipal Code (height measured from the average grade that the building intersects to the mean height between the roof ridge and its corresponding eave). The additions would match the exterior colors and materials of the existing dwelling. The existing house and additions would be roofed with a new "high definition" composition shingle roof.
