Summary

Council adopted Resolution 2638 (5–0) to approve design review, a nonconformity permit and a variance for construction at 186 Prospect Drive after staff reported ADR recommendations and applicant adjustments (fireplace removed; construction management plan addresses vehicle staging).

The council held a public hearing on a planning project at 186 Prospect Drive and adopted Resolution 2638 approving design review, a nonconformity permit and a variance.

Planning staff described a project that proposes a new swimming pool, spa, outdoor kitchen, site walls, new walkways, widened driveway and deck repairs. The ADR had voted 4–0 in favor but recommended reducing fireplace height to 48 inches; the applicant removed the fireplace in revised plans. Staff and council discussed traffic management and coordination with San Anselmo because the property abuts the jurisdictional boundary; staff confirmed coordination with the San Anselmo city manager and planning and building director.

Council member motioned and seconded a resolution to approve design review and associated permits; roll call votes were taken and the motion passed 5–0. Staff noted conditions of approval will include traffic management and construction staging and that the project will return to council for assessment report steps as needed.
