On review of the proposed plans, the following comments are provided:
1. Architectural Review. As provided in Municipal Code § 2.48.050 (A) and Community Design
Guidelines § 1.2 (A), architectural review is required for all structures and physical improvements
including single-family dwellings where the scale or character of the proposed dwelling contrasts
significantly with adjacent or neighboring structures, and the Director may require minor or incidental
architectural review where necessary to meet the intent of the city’s design guidelines.
Zoning Regulations § 17.106.020 (B) (1) also subjects residential enlargements and modifications larger
than 1,000 square feet to Development Review to ensure consistency with applicable development
standards and regulations of these Zoning Regulations, and adopted Design Guidelines and policies,
using criteria which include consideration of compatibility with neighboring properties and
developments with regard to building heights, massing, and similar site design and building design
features. In addition, by definition, use of an accessory structure is incidental and subordinate to the use
of the principal structure on the site, in this case a single-family dwelling.
Community Design Guidelines for additions and alterations (§ 5.5 (C)) encourage additions and
modifications to respect existing architectural style, detailing, scale, and composition of existing
buildings and to be designed with consideration for the design and massing of adjacent residences, to
promote neighborhood compatibility.
The extent, scale, massing, and height of the proposed garage and workshop building significantly
exceed that of the primary building on the site (the single-family dwelling), as well as that of
neighboring structures. As such, the proposed design appears to be inconsistent with applicable design
guidelines and subject to Architectural Review (Development Review). Contact Planning at
(805) 781-7170 for information about satisfaction of Development Review requirements and
Architectural Review for the proposed design.
Alternatively consider revising the design of the garage and workshop building to satisfy the intent of
Community Design Guidelines for scale, height, massing, and detailing of the building, with
consideration for the design and massing of adjacent and neighboring buildings and neighborhood
compatibility, and consistent with the incidental and subordinate function of such an accessory building
in relation to the primary (single-family residential) building on the site.
