Proposal

The proposal consists of the rehabilitation of an existing two-story Mission Revival residence at 1722 Jefferson Avenue for continued single-family use, including approximately 339 square feet of new floor area, interior courtyard modifications, and a new two-story addition. The project also includes replacement of the existing irregularly shaped pool and grotto-style spa with a smaller rectangular pool, requiring variances from the required north and south interior side setbacks. Additionally, the applicant is seeking a Historic Single-Family Ad Valorem Tax Exemption for the proposed qualifying improvements estimated at $1,000,000.

From the Letter of Intent

The applicant seeks to replace an existing larger, irregular pool and grotto-style spa with a simpler, more restrained rectangular pool that is more appropriately scaled to the property and compatible with its historic character. A pool setback variance is requested to accommodate the new pool placement given the constraints of the existing historic residence and lot configuration. The property is a single-family historic residence located within the Palm View Neighborhood and zoned RM-1.

  • Removal of existing irregular pool and grotto-style spa
  • Installation of new rectangular pool
  • Pool deck/platform construction
  • Rehabilitation of historic single-family residence
