DISCUSSION
Project Description
As illustrated in Exhibit "B", the applicant has proposed a new 1,800 square -foot, two
story, single-family dwelling unit with an attached two -car garage at the rear of the lot. In
addition to the new single-family dwelling unit, the applicant has also proposed to
construct an attached 619 square foot tandem garage to the existing, legal nonconforming
single-family dwelling unit.
The design and floor plan of the proposed single-family dwelling unit and the proposed
site improvements such as fencing, walls, interlocking pavers, and new landscaping are
not part of the Minor Exception application. Furthermore, the applicant has proposed to
renovate the exterior of the front dwelling unit to match the proposed rear dwelling unit in
terms of color, materials, and design. The aforementioned improvements will be subject
to an administrative site plan and design review by the Planning Division.
