Housing

What's happening

• The commission will consider and adopt a resolution to approve a use permit for interior modifications and first‑ and second‑story additions that exceed 50% of the replacement value of the existing nonconforming structure.
• The permit also covers a two‑story residence that exceeds the existing floor area on a substandard lot in the R‑1‑U zoning district.
• The action is determined to be categorically exempt under CEQA Section 15301 Class 1.

Why it matters

Approving the permit allows major expansions that could change the size and density of the home and affect neighboring property standards.
