Proposal

The applicant proposes to demolish an existing one-story single-family residence and construct a new four-story, four-unit multi-family residential building with a rooftop featuring an outdoor kitchen and whirlpool amenity. The building is designed in a contemporary architectural style, predominantly finished in smooth white stucco, with projecting balconies, glass railings, and integrated landscape planters. The project includes four parking spaces within an enclosed ground-floor garage and requests a waiver for reduced garage clearance height from the base flood elevation plus freeboard.
