Paramount board approves 568-sq-ft home addition at 6637 Mott Street after neighbor raises parking concerns
Summary
The Paramount Development Review Board approved Development Review Application 26001 permitting a 568-square-foot addition and a 426-square-foot two-car garage at 6637 Mott Street after staff recommended approval; a nearby resident raised safety and parking concerns which the applicant addressed by saying existing residents will retain on-site parking.
The Paramount Development Review Board voted to approve Development Review Application 26001, allowing a 568-square-foot addition to an existing 650-square-foot dwelling at 6637 Mott Street and a 426-square-foot two-car garage. Assistant planner Leslie Cross told the board the project would convert the house into a three-bedroom, two-bath unit and recommended approval with standard conditions including reroofing, window trim and landscaping.
Neighbors voiced safety and parking concerns. Linda Novakowski of 6600 Mott described repeated near-miss crashes, vehicles mounting curbs and a lack of street parking; she asked whether traffic-calming measures such as a traffic island could be considered. “There is no parking on our street,” Novakowski said, describing incidents in which vehicles collided with parked cars and a curb.
The applicant (recorded as Jose in the hearing) said the proposal is an addition for the same household and not a separate rental that would add new cars to the street, and that existing occupants will continue to park on-site. After testimony the board moved to close the public hearing and approved the application by roll call.
Next steps: staff will ensure conditions (exterior materials, landscaping and fencing) are met before issuance of any permits related to the construction.
