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 eight parking spaces at ground level, a rooftop terrace with outdoor kitchen and whirlpool, and four identical 'Type A' units each comprising two levels with a total of approximately 1,531 square feet per unit. A waiver is requested to allow a garage clearance of 10'-10" from BFE+1' freeboard, where 12'-0" is required.

From the Letter of Intent

A new 4-unit multi-residential building consisting of a 3-story structure with parking garage underneath. The building features a main tall component set back 35ft from the street and a shorter, more transparent component closer to the street, designed to respect the residential scale while modernizing the area.

  • Demolition of existing 1-story single-family residence from 1941
  • Construction of new 3-story, 4-unit multi-residential building
  • Construction of parking garage under building with 8 parking spaces
  • Installation of elevator and stair circulation core
  • Landscaping with native species
  • Installation of pervious brick and paver driveways and walkways
  • Stormwater injection well installation
  • Floodproofing systems for main entry lobby
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 waiver: proposed 10'-10" vs. required 12'-0" from BFE + 1' freeboard (1'-2" waiver requested)
  • Exterior column on north side of front elevation connected to projecting balcony, causing balconies to count towards FAR
  • Upper level balconies considered visually overwhelming; staff recommends recessing by minimum 5 feet or use of glass railings
  • Garage screening on north and south side elevations uses open square metal grid; staff recommends denser, more compact grid pattern
  • 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
  • Design Review Criteria s (sea level rise and resiliency) not fully satisfied at time of submittal
