Summary

Commissioners praised the design for a second‑floor addition at 723 Acacia Drive and voted to return the item to the consent calendar, with staff handling final findings on the standard consent timeline.

The Planning Commission reviewed a proposal for a second‑floor addition at 723 Acacia Drive (study session) and voted to return the item to the consent calendar for approval per staff recommendations.

Staff described the project as a 2nd‑floor addition and special permit request for building height (projected building height: 32 ft 1 in where 30 ft is normally allowed). Applicant representatives said the design seeks to unify older additions with the house’s front elevation and maintain a shingle‑style character. Commissioners praised the renovation and found the package compelling; several asked clarifying questions about windows, materials and corner details but did not request major changes.

Commissioner Schmidt moved to bring the project back on consent per the staff report; Commissioner Seay seconded. The motion passed 7–0.

Next steps: staff will prepare findings and the item will appear on the next consent calendar for formal action.
