Board grants final approval for 617 Bradbury Ave., with staff review of irrigation plan
Summary
The Architectural Board granted final approval for a new main residence, basement and detached ADU at 617 Bradbury Avenue, conditioned on the applicant providing an irrigation plan for staff review before building permits are issued.
The Architectural Board of Review granted final approval April 14 for a project at 617 Bradbury Avenue that remodels an existing rear unit, builds a new 2,589‑square‑foot main residence with basement and attached 368‑square‑foot garage, and constructs a new detached 683‑square‑foot accessory dwelling unit (ADU). The board’s approval was conditioned on the applicant providing a final irrigation plan for staff review.
The project, required to conform substantially with project‑design approvals granted January 21, 2025, included finalization of exterior details, lighting, and mechanical equipment locations. The applicant said window, fence and lighting details were revised and that heat‑pump equipment specifications and locations were included in the submittal. The designer confirmed the mechanical units would be located in planned, screened locations and that final details were prepared for building permit submittal.
Public comment A virtual commenter asked why any parking was provided, noting state law permitting multiple ADUs. The applicant replied that the homeowner intends to occupy the front unit and requested a parking space. A board discussion focused on the missing irrigation plan; staff said that an irrigation drawing is typically required for building permit review and can be reviewed administratively.
Board action A motion to grant final approval with the condition that the applicant provide an irrigation plan for staff review passed unanimously. Recorded votes show all present board members voting yes.
Next steps Staff will confirm receipt and adequacy of the irrigation details prior to building permit issuance. The board noted a 10‑day appeal period.
