The project site currently consists of a one-story, 1,008 square -foot, one-story single-
family dwelling unit with a detached one -car garage, which were built in 1939. On July 18,
2022, the Code Enforcement Division issued a citation to the property owner for
renovating the existing single-family dwelling unit without permits, which included new
stucco and windows throughout the dwelling unit, remodeling of the kitchen and
bathroom, new air conditioning units, and the demolition of the detached one -car garage.
The property owner is proposing to convert the existing single-family dwelling unit into an
accessory dwelling unit (ADU) under a separate submittal and would be approved
administratively by Planning Division staff. Planning and Building and Safety Division staff
will also work with the applicant to correct the code violations on the property.
