DISCUSSION:
The applicant is requesting to add a 235 square foot, 9-foot high greenhouse on the
northeast portion of- the property. It will be a pre-engineered structure with metal
framing, glass panels and a concrete base wall around it. As a fully enclosed structure,
the greenhouse will count toward the maximum floor area ratio allowance of 6,500
square' feet on the property. With this addition, the total floor area ratio will be 6,485
square feet, which is in cOInpliance with the residential hillside zoning requirements.
Staff supports the greenhouse addition because 'it will be located in an area on the
property surrounded by mature trees and landscape growth that will provide sufficient
screening. Therefore, staff does not believe that the structure will be visible froln the
valley floor.
Greenhouse to be located behind the fence to the right
Additionally, an approximately 650 square foot wl.enclosed car shelter is proposed
along the west side of the property that will be attached to the garage. The parking
shelter consists of h.vo paved parking spaces that are surrowl.ded by retaining walls. A
portion of the parking shelter will have a flat roof covering; however, the structure will
primarily be wl.enclosed and will not count as floor area ratio. The applicant is
requesting approval to construct the car shelter to accomnl.odate additional on-site
parking needs for his family. Staff has reviewed the plans and is supportive of the
proposed car shelter.
ACTION:
The Director of COInmunity Developlnent approves the Ininor modification to allow the
construction of a greenhouse and car shelter. This approval of the modification is
effective August 20, 2007. The fourteen calendar day appeal period will expire on
September 3, 2007.
