Document Description
The Project proposes to construct a new three-story, single-family residence and an attached two-car garage, with hardscaping and landscaping on a vacant lot. In addition to the three-story, 2,558 square-foot residence, the proposed residential development would include a 295 square-foot elevated deck with glass guardrails, 36-foot-tall elevator, photovoltaic panels, one off-site parking space, an off-site catch basin, retaining walls, and skylights. The Project proposes an off-site parking space which is located directly west of the Project site. The off-street parking space would include a retaining wall located along the south side of the parking space. There is an approved retaining wall along the west side of the parking space that is part of the 840 Gainsborough Drive Project. The proposed residential development would include on-site grading of approximately 2,588 cubic-yards of cut and two cubic-yards of fill and require approximately 215 truck trips over 26 days for removing soil from the site. No other street improvements are proposed. The Project would be subject to various City permits and approvals, including, but not limited to: adoption of a Final Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program; Design Review DR-23-0131; Coastal Development Permit CDP-23-0132, and Revocable Encroachment Permit (REP) 23-0133.
