Public Hearing: Action on the Significant Property Alteration / Architectural Review (PLN25-00524) for an Approximately 481 Square Foot First Floor Addition and an Approximately 233 Square Foot Second Floor Addition to an Existing Two-Story Single-Family Residence Resulting in a 3,006 Square Foot Single-Family Residence on the Historic Resource Inventory Located at 1184 Washington Street.

The City of Santa Clara is considering a Significant Property Alteration / Architectural Review for a single-family residence located at 1184 Washington Street. The project involves adding approximately 481 square feet to the first floor and 233 square feet to the second floor, resulting in a total single-family residence of 3,006 square feet. The property is listed on the Historic Resource Inventory. The proposed additions will increase the building's total square footage from 3,513 sq ft to 4,071 sq ft. The Floor Area Ratio will increase from 0.35 to 0.40, which complies with the maximum of 0.40. The second-floor area will be 70% of the first-floor area, which is below the 66% maximum requirement. Building coverage will increase from 25% to 28%, remaining below the 40% maximum. The existing building height of 27'-8" exceeds the 25'-0" limit, but this is an existing condition and not a result of the proposed additions. The project requires approval of a Minor Modification Permit for the right-side setback. The permit is set to expire on April 16, 2026, if not used. Conditions of approval include adherence to construction hours, stormwater control measures, and maintaining the garage for vehicle parking.
