Neighbors’ privacy concerns lead Larkspur Planning Commission to approve 26 Baltimore house with window and fence conditions
Summary
The Larkspur Planning Commission on Sept. 9 approved a proposed two‑story home with a 691‑sq‑ft ADU at 26 Baltimore Ave, requiring frosting of two east‑facing corner windows and modifications to a proposed Monte Vista fence to address neighbor privacy and streetscape impacts; the motion passed 4‑0 with a 10‑day appeal period.
The Larkspur Planning Commission voted Sept. 9 to approve a design‑review application to demolish the house at 26 Baltimore Avenue and build a new two‑story single‑family residence with an attached 691‑square‑foot accessory dwelling unit (ADU), subject to conditions intended to reduce privacy impacts on adjoining neighbors.
Planning staff described the project as a 3,262‑square‑foot two‑story residence with a 356‑square‑foot garage and 620 square feet of below‑grade basement that does not count against the floor‑area ratio (FAR). The application sought several exceptions: a FAR exception to allow a proposed FAR of about 0.49, a lot‑coverage variance for 3,033 square feet where 3,000 is permitted, a slope‑use permit for roughly 400 cubic yards of cut and fill for a basement and pool, and fence‑height exceptions for an eastern property line fence and a Monte Vista street‑side fence.
