Board approves garage work but postpones ADU and main residence at 1062 Camino San Acasio
Summary
For case 2026012284 at 1062 Camino San Acasio the board adopted staff findings that exception criteria for exterior insulation and metal details on a contributing garage were not met and approved remaining work on that garage; the ADU and principal residence design elements, including height and pitched‑roof questions, were postponed for redesign and possible exception notice.
The Historic Districts Review Board acted on parts of the application for 1062 Camino San Acasio (case 2026012284). Staff recommended denial of exceptions for exterior insulation on a contributing garage and for metal detailing and discouraged certain stucco colors; staff recommended approval of the other elements that comply with district standards.
After detailed questioning about streetscape measurements, roof pitch calculations, height allowances, corner window visibility, stucco texture and coloration, and the proposed use of steel details, the board adopted staff findings regarding the contributing garage: exception criteria for placing exterior insulation on the primary facade were not met, and the board approved the other elements of the garage on condition that texture and material be cementitious and that existing framing/finish colors be retained. The roll call on that motion recorded yes votes from Simmons, Degnan, Besheide and Benvenu; the motion passed.
Separately, the board voted to postpone action on the ADU and the primary residence to a date certain to allow the applicant (Gabriel Brown) to redesign in response to board comments and for staff to determine whether a noticed exception will be required for a pitched roof under the streetscape calculation. The applicant indicated willingness to redesign and work with staff. The postponement directs staff to coordinate dates and to confirm whether an exception must be noticed.
