The project is categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301.

A public hearing to consider an Administrative Variance and Design Review involving removal of an existing enclosed patio and replacement with a fully enclosed, single-story, 396 sq. ft. addition. A variance is required because the rear east corner of the proposed addition will encroach into the rear setback area by 1 foot 6 inches. The height of the roof’s ridge on the east side will increase by approximately three feet to a height of 20 feet. Exterior materials will match existing.
