Document Description
The project involves remodeling of the existing residence and enclosure of existing deck space to create a new 255 square-foot second-floor addition that would accommodate a new bedroom and bathroom. The addition would encroach into the required east side yard setback while maintaining the home's existing and longstanding 14-foot east side yard setback. This would enhance the use and value of the subject property for the benefit of the current owners.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15305 (minor alterations in land use limitations)
Reasons for Exemption
The project involves remodeling the existing residence and construction of a second-floor addition that would encroach into the required east side yard setback. The addition would match the home's existing east side yard setback and would not intensify the existing longstanding encroachment The height and profile of the home would not be altered while the addition would not be prominently seen from offsite. The addition would enclose an existing deck and create new interior habitable area. This would remove open deck space and reduce the potential for view and privacy impacts on the neighboring property to the east.
