The applicant proposes to add approximately 900 sq. ft. of living area the an existing duplex building in the R-11 zone. Discussion: 1) site design: Regarding site design, the addition will be located within the existing setback envelope, situated above the main residence. The addition, with large viewing windows and a roof deck, would re-capture views which were lost when two-story twin homes were constructed to the immediate west of the project site. with regard to Design Guidelines 1.1 - 1.11, the Board finds that the proposed project adequately addresses these required elements. Specifically, regarding Guideline 1.4, the Board finds that the project adequately provides for views lito the site" in that the project proposes an addition of living space in the front portion of the building, visible from the street which will create visual interest by having varied wall planes The garage proj ects approximately 7 ft. beyond the main dwelling, and the proposed addition would be set-back approximately 6 ft. behind the front building wall of the lower residence. It is the Board's determination that the addi tion would be consistent in design with the existing building and is carried out consistently on all elevations. The Board finds that the project adequately provides for views "from the site" since the project will provide significant viewing areas from the upper living area and the upper deck CD/tc/95029DR.RES (3-1-95 ) for access to ocean views. And the Board finds that the project adequately provides for views "through the site" since the proposed addition would have an insignificant impact on any existing views through the site given the local topography which provides westerly views for properties to the west of the project site, and easterly views for properties to the east of the project site. 2. Building design: with regard to Guidelines 2.1 - 2.12, the Board finds, as discussed above, the project having varied wall plains will create visual interest and contribute positively to the area. Specifically, regarding Guidelines 2.3 - 2.6, the Board finds that, as discussed above, the addition would constitute an enhancement to the property. 3.

The proj ect would not cause the surrounding neighborhood to depreciate materially in appearance or value. Facts: The surrounding neighborhood consists of existing residential buildings, having a mix of single family residences and duplex type buildings. Discussion: The proposed project consists of a duplex use in a residentially mixed area. The proposed addition would not add a dwelling unit to the building, but would add living space and architectural enhancement to the property site. Conclusion: The proposed enhancement to the area. project would constitute an CD/tc/95029DR.RES (3-1-95) DESIGN REVIEW - AUTHORITY TO EXCEED STANDARD HEIGHT ENVELOPE: Authorization to exceed the standard height envelope is based upon the following criteria: (1) That the portion of the building outside of the standard envelope maintains some of the significant views enjoyed by residents of nearby properties: Facts: The subject property is located on the crest of the Cardiff hillside area.

Facts: The neighborhood surrounding the proj ect site consists of a mix a single family residences and duplex buildings, with the majority being larger two-story duplex / twin-home type structures. Discussion: The project consists of an existing two-story duplex building which will not be out of scale or out of character with the neighborhood given the fact that numerous structures of similar size and scale exist in the area.
