Board clears design for new single‑story house at 1425 Beaudry Boulevard with tree‑protection conditions

The Glendale Design Review Board approved a proposal to demolish an existing single‑story residence and construct a new single‑story home with an attached two‑car garage at 1425 Beaudry Boulevard.

Project and staff summary: Planning Associate Eric Gee presented case PDR‑004139‑2024, describing demolition of the existing residence and garage and construction of a new single‑story house on a 10,640‑square‑foot lot in the R1R district. The proposal includes a new roof form, stone veneer, smooth stucco and wood‑accent elements. The project footprint largely matches the existing building and preserves prevailing neighborhood setbacks.

Tree protection condition: The project site has three protected trees in the rear and one street tree in front. Staff recommended—and the board imposed—conditions following the arborist’s recommendations and Urban Forestry requirements: the applicant must provide an arborist’s report, implement pre‑construction tree protections and monitoring, install protective fencing for protected trees, and obtain required permits for any work near the street tree prior to construction.

Board commentary and outcome: Architect Alex Zuriffian described the design intent and the team’s effort to honor the boulevard character. Board members praised the understated approach and the single‑story massing; a motion to approve with the arboriculture condition passed unanimously (three yes votes).

Implementation: The approval requires the applicant to comply with Urban Forestry recommendations and submit documentation of tree‑protection measures before building permits are issued.
