Board continues 1st‑floor remodel and second‑story addition at 1740 La Coronia Drive to consent with CMU wall and ridge adjustments
Summary
The board continued project design approval for a 470‑square‑foot second‑story addition at 1740 La Coronia Drive to return to consent/final with conditions that the exposed CMU retaining wall be painted to match the house and that ridge beam ends (chamfer) be trimmed to match the drawings.
The Single‑Family Design Board on Aug. 25 continued a proposal for a 470‑square‑foot second‑story addition to an existing single‑story home at 1740 La Coronia Drive to a consent hearing for final approval, with specific comments on site details.
Case staff confirmed the project qualifies for a California Environmental Quality Act exemption under section 15301 (existing facilities). The applicant said the project adds tile roofing details to match existing S‑tile roofing, pulls back an overhanging rake that exceeded guidelines, adjusts window sills for visual cohesion and documents as‑built site elements including an exposed CMU retaining wall and sections of existing fencing and hardscape.
The board requested that the applicant paint or otherwise address the exposed CMU retaining wall to match the house plaster, trim the ridge beam/chamfer at the gable to better match the plans, and return to the consent calendar for final review. The board noted the project was previously given a waiver of FAR requirements; public commenters did not appear and staff reported written submissions were not received for this item.
The board voted unanimously to continue the project to a date‑certain consent hearing (applicant and staff discussed scheduling for a September meeting) and asked the applicant to return with final details, color/material samples and the CMU treatment noted.
