Proposal

The applicant proposes to construct a new four-story, four-unit multi-family residential building (Lullaby Condominium Residences) to replace an existing one-story single-family residence on a 5,650 SF lot. The building includes a rooftop terrace with outdoor kitchen and whirlpool amenity, eight parking spaces at grade, and four 'Type A' units each with two levels and a mezzanine. A waiver is requested for reduced garage clearance height of 10'-10" versus the required 12'-0" from BFE plus freeboard.

Staff Recommendation
APPROVAL W/ CONDITIONS
In view of the foregoing analysis, staff recommends approval of the design subject to the conditions enumerated in the attached Draft Order, which address the inconsistencies with the aforementioned Design Review criteria and Sea Level Rise criteria.

Compliance Findings:

✗ Sea Level Rise: Not Satisfied ✗ Design Review Criteria: Not Satisfied
Key Issues
  • Garage elevation clearance of 10'-10" is below the required 12'-0" from BFE + 1' freeboard, requiring a DRB waiver of 1'-2"
  • Exterior column on the front connected to projecting balcony on second floor plans Z1.2 and A2.2 causes balconies to count towards FAR
  • Lighting plan has not been submitted (Design Review Criteria i not satisfied)
  • Sea Level Rise Criteria 1 not satisfied — recycling/salvage plan for demolition not provided
  • Upper level balconies are considered overwhelming to the overall design; staff recommends recessing by minimum 5 feet or using glass railings
  • Garage screening metal grid on north and south side elevations needs to be denser and more compact to better obstruct views into parking area
