Summary
Neighbors appealed an approved 3,567-square-foot home expansion with an ADU, arguing the second story crowds their one-story home and blocks light and views. The commission found the project meets all applicable standards and denied the appeal, noting the city's new Objective Design Standards take effect August 27 and would allow even more second-story mass.
