I. PROJECT SUMMARY
The applicant requests approval of a Development Plan for a Kensington Design Review to allow a residential addition resulting in a gross floor area of approximately 3,925 square feet, where 2,600-square-feet is the gross floor area threshold for a public hearing. The project includes a Variance request for an approximately 13-foot secondary front setback, where 15 feet is required, for a new trellis attached to the single-family residence.
II. RECOMMENDATION
The Department of Conservation and Development, Community Development Division (CDD) staff recommends that the Zoning Administrator:
A. OPEN the public hearing for the Development Plan, Variance and Kensington Design Review (County File #CDDP26-03018), RECEIVE testimony, and CONTINUE the Development Plan as an open item for a Zoning Administrator decision, at a noticed public hearing, to be held on a date to be determined.
VIII. CONCLUSION
Staff identified additional elements in the project plans that require a variance from the front setback requirement. Staff recommends that the Zoning Administrator continue County File #CDDP26-03018 to allow for additional clarification on the lot area and front property boundary line.
