Design Review Board considered two residential projects and heard a staff briefing on a larger Tiburon housing project. The board approved a design for 407 Hillary Drive with conditions on operable louvers and approved a privacy-screen/variance package at Three East Terrace; a separate hearing (117 Sugarloaf Drive) was continued to Dec. 3.

Discussion Points

•1801 Tiburon project nearing decision by Nov. 23; early talk of reimbursement agreement and consultant support.
•Board agreed to continue PH1 to date-certain meeting to allow for quorum and additional materials if needed.
•Fire department said vegetation-management option would require vegetation removal under current regulations, so applicant pursued a built screen option.
•Neighbor argued barrier should run to top of stairs and be enforceable; applicant argued design improved privacy versus existing conditions.
•Neighbor concerns about light, sound and the visual effect of moved stairs and balcony.
•PG&E emphasized prioritization of connections and will send follow-up information; town staff to report back.
•Staff clarified there were no trellis specifications in plans; board requested substantial conformance at permit review.

Decisions

•PH1 continued to Dec. 3, 2026 (tentative).
•Project approved with added conditions and categorical CEQA exemption (3–0).
•Variance findings made; project approved and found categorically exempt from CEQA.

Directions

•Board approved current design with findings; staff will verify substantial conformance at permit stage.

•Staff to list item on Dec. 3 agenda and notify participants.
•Staff to report back with substantive PG&E follow-up and any impacts to local permitting.
