Design Review Board approves modern single‑story house with detached garage at 1410 Greenbrier Road
Summary
The board approved demolition and a new single‑story home with a detached garage at 1410 Greenbrier Road, with a staff condition to match stucco on any new retaining walls visible from the street.
The Glendale Design Review Board approved a contemporary single‑story residence and detached garage at 1410 Greenbrier Road after reviewing site grading, massing and materials.
Project scope and staff comment: Planning Associate Eric Gee presented PDR‑003793‑2024, describing demolition of an existing 2,597‑square‑foot house and construction of a new 3,411‑square‑foot single‑story home with a detached 437‑square‑foot garage on an 11,242‑square‑foot lot. Staff recommended approval with a condition that any new retaining walls visible from the street be finished to match the main house stucco.
Applicant presentation and board discussion: Architect Marco Marcuse said the decision to demolish reflected structural and mold issues in the existing home and neighborhood grading constraints; the detached garage was lowered to reduce driveway slope and garage massing. Board members praised the design’s proportion, the canopy expression and the approach to lighting and landscape; one member noted the detached garage helped preserve the house’s frontage scale.
Outcome and condition: The board approved the project unanimously and added the staff‑recommended condition requiring the retaining wall finish to match the primary stucco. The applicant must meet staff conditions before building permits proceed.
