Title:
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.
