Design Review Committee
September 7, 2006
Staff member Chao explained that this application is very straightforward. It conforms
to all the requirements of the R1 ordinance. The application is being heard before the
Committee because the Municipal Code states that any alterations to any existing
duplex building must be approved no matter how small the requested change is. The
addition is towards the rear, on the ground floor and is not visible from the street. Staff
supports the project as proposed. Commissioner Saadati had no comments or concerns.
Chairperson Giefer also had no comments or concerns. A resident asked for
confirmation that the proposed addition to the rear would still allow enough space for a
nice size backyard. It was confirmed that the backyard space was not being negatively
affected. The discussion continued about the zoning and definition of a duplex.
Chairperson Giefer mentioned that she was glad the owner was taking an interest in
updating the property.
