A typical lot width in the RL zone is 60 feet with a lot size of 6,000 squarefeet, whereas the proposed projectsite has a substantiallysmaller lot width of 28.95 feet and a total lot size of approximately2,287.50squarefeet; thus, creatinga hardshipfor the propertyownerto meet the maximum lot coverage of 50 percent.The waiver of development standardsto exceed maximum lot coverage improves the project by allowing for an efficient floor plan that integrates the new addition of a 148 sq. ft. walk-in closet within the existing dwelling. The proposed 148 sq. ft. walk-in closet maintains that all habitable areas within the existing residence are accessible within the primary dwelling and will remain a single family residence. Access to the proposed 148 sq. ft. walk-in closet is providedwithin the existing master bedroom located on the second floor. The granting of a waiver for the proposed project to exceed maximum lot coverage by 4.3 percent provides for a consistent interior layout that providesoptimal internal circulationand improvedfunctionality;and a project that meets desired design objectives, maintains neighborhood compatibility, and ensures compliancewith Cityzoning standardsto the extent practicable. The proposed project would not otherwise require any discretionary permits, and will not in any way degrade the environment or result in any changes to land use or density. The proposed project will be architecturally compatible with the existing residence and surrounding neighborhoodand will remain a single-family residence. With the exception of the proposed 54.3 percent lot coverage; the proposed project, as conditioned,conforms to all applicabledevelopmentstandards,includingmaximumbuilding height.
