Review board approves after‑the‑fact exterior alterations despite lot‑coverage concerns

The Mendocino Historical Review Board voted to approve an application for after‑the‑fact minor exterior alterations at a single‑family residence that included new French doors, window and siding repairs, paint changes and a 300‑square‑foot aggregate concrete patio, despite staff and public discussion that the property already exceeds the Mendocino Town Residential zoning district’s 25% maximum lot‑coverage standard.
