PLN14-0682 3264 Adams Street (Action Date 4-14-15)
This project is a revision to the Design Review application for a three-story single-family home originally noticed on January 29, 2015. This new proposal has been reduced down to an approximately 2,876 sq. ft. two-story single-family home with an overall height of approximately 26 ft. The proposal will result in the demolition of the existing 1,389 sq. ft. one-story home built in 1948, which is not listed on the Historical Building Study List. The existing driveway will be shifted towards the south, widened by two feet, and will not result in the loss of on-street parking.
