Zoning R-8
Conditional Use Justification — ADU
We, Signature Custom Homes the builder and the representative for Homan Leung
(owner), are proposing to construct a new 780 square foot Accessory Dwelling Unit behind the
new Single Family Resident under permit # B17004662. Our proposal in the zone R-8
neighborhood will follow these guidelines:
o CONSISTENCY WITH PLANS AND RECULATIONS: The proposed ADU has been
planned and designed in accordance with city zoning and design regulations as well
as keeping with the architectural character of the primary residence.
® APPROPRIATE LOCATION: The proposed ADU does not conflict with any zoning
regulations on this site. It is placed away from the primary residence with
reasonable separation from access and property lines.
• EFFECT ON ADJACENT PKOPEKTIES: The proposed ADU does not interfere with
sightlines of existing homes in the neighborhood.
o COMPATIBILITY: The proposed ADU was designed to keep with standard
residential neighborhood aesthetics. Finish materials and overall architectural
pattern reflect surrounding homes.
® PARKING AND TRAFFIC: Adequate off street parking is provided for a project of
this size. Driveway access will be shared with the SFR and will have minimal effect
on the neighborhood.
® NOISE, LIGHT, GLARE: Based on the proposed location it will not negatively
impact adjacent properties due to noise, light, or glare. The structure does not sit
tall enough for window glare to be a concern nor does it have enough exterior
lighting. Noise volume will be consistent with typical residential volume.
® LANDSCAPINC: A revised landscaping plan will be submitted with the ADU building
permit and will remain consistent with the existing landscape plan submitted with
permit # B17004662 and city standards.
This flexibility in housing makes sense for environmental, lifestyle and financial reasons.
This is an inexpensive way to increase the affordable housing supply.
It is designed to have a dedicated parking area with a concrete walkway to provide
access to the unit. The goal is to construct the ADU concurrently with the new SFR. There will
not be any additional impact on adjacent or surrounding properties, outside of what will be
taking place to construct the SFR..
Thank You!
