Hearing of persons interested in or objecting to the decision of the Planning Department dated June 13, 2005 (Case No. 2003.0415E), exempting from environmental review under Categorical Exemption State CEQA Guidelines, Section(s) 15301(e)(2), Existing Facilities, a proposed project at 39 Chattanooga Street. The project would construct an addition to an existing single family residence without off-street parking, to accommodate two dwelling units and two parking spaces (one with independent access). The existing 840-square foot (sq.ft.), one-story-over basement, single-family residence is approximately 14 feet tall. The proposed addition would expand the existing site development to contain two dwelling units (approximately 1,299 sq.ft. and 2,695 sq.ft. = 3,994 total sq.ft., a net increase for the site of approximately 3,154 sq.ft.) The project would: (1) raise the existing one-story-over basement, single-family dwelling approximately seven feet in height, and move it forward, reducing the existing 20-foot front setback to approximately 10 feet; (2) demolish the existing rear 20-foot extension (kitchen/porch/stairs); (3) construct a new three-story-over basement addition with an allowable 12-foot extension of one-story-over basement at the rear, and; (4) establish two dwelling units on the property. The finished height of the existing building would be approximately 21 feet to the midpoint of the pitched roof. The finished height of the addition at the rear would be approximately 30 feet to the top of the sloped roof. The project would modify the front façade of the existing building to accommodate a new entrance and a nine-foot-wide garage opening. The approximately 3,250 sq. ft. project site, (Assessor’s Block 3619, Lot 077), is located on the east side of Chattanooga Street, on the block bounded by Church, 21st, Dolores and 22nd Streets. The site is within an RH-2 (Residential, House, Two-Family) Use District and a 40-X Height and Bulk District. (Appellant: Susan Brandt-Hawley on behalf of Chattanooga Street/Golden Fireplug Historic District Friends.)
