Commission approves demolition and rebuild at 30 San Rafael with bulkhead and tree conditions
Summary
The commission approved design review, demolition, a variance and a recommendation for a revocable license for a new single-family residence at 30 San Rafael Avenue, conditioning approval on a tree-protection plan for a mature magnolia and requiring the applicant to resolve bulkhead details with the Lagoon Property Owners Association and the building official before a building permit is issued.
The Belvedere Planning Commission approved a multi-permit project at 30 San Rafael Avenue that includes demolition of the existing residence, construction of a new two-story single-family home, variances for side and rear yard encroachments, and a recommendation that the City Council grant a revocable license for private improvements in the public right-of-way.
Staff described the project site (a 6,774-square-foot lot with an existing 2,284-square-foot house) and said the proposed two-story design would raise the finished floor roughly 3 feet to meet FEMA AE flood-zone requirements. Staff recommended adoption of an initial study/mitigated negative declaration, noting mitigation measures addressing cultural and tribal resources (including on-site archaeological monitoring and coordination with the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria).
