Case No. 95-029 DR
Applicant: McDonough
DESIGN REVIEW - SITE AND BUILDING DESIGN: (Code Section, Factual
Circumstances, Reasoning, Conclusion
section 23.08.072 of the
applicable to Design Review:
Municipal
Code
provides
findings
A. The project design is not inconsistent with the General Plan, a
Specific Plan or the provisions of this Code.
Facts: The project meets all applicable standards contained
in the General Plan. No specific plan applies to the project.
B. The project design is substantially consistent with the City's
Design Review Guidelines.
Facts: Chapter 23.08 of the Municipal Code contains Design
Review Guidelines with which the authorized agency must find
the project substantially consistent in order to grant
approval. 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. Landscape Desiqn: The applicant proposes to maintain the
existing landscaping.
Conclusion: The Board finds that the project is in
substantial conformance with the Design Review Guidelines of
Chapter 23.08 of the Municipal Code because of the consistency
with Design Review Guidelines.
C. The project would not adversely effect the health, safety, or
general welfare of the community.
Facts: The project has been found exempt from environmental
review pursuant to section 15301 (e) of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and no potential negative
affects on the health, safety, or general welfare of the
community have been identified in conjunction with this
project.
Conclusion: The Board finds that the project would not
adversely affect the health, safety, or general welfare of the
community.
D. 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.

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.
Discussion: Given the project location on the crest of the
Cardiff hillside area, no significant views exist through the
site. Westerly views exist for properties to the west of the
project site, and easterly views for properties to the east of
the project site.
Conclusion: The Board finds that the proposed project would
not impact any significant views
(2)
That the building is compatible in bulk and mass with
buildings on neighboring properties.
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.
Conclusion: The Board finds that the proposed project would
be compatible in bulk and mass with buildings on neighboring
properties.
