PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENT
The Director of the
Department of Planning and Development (DPD) has submitted a
recommendation to the City Council on a Land Use Code Text Amendment.
The
amendment would
create a provision
allowing structures in Single Family zones that are nonconforming to
front or rear yard requirements to be increased in height up to five
feet, but not to exceed the height limit of the zone, in order to
achieve sufficient ceiling height in an existing basement or attic to
conform to the City’s regulations for habitable rooms or to
accommodate a pitched roof on the structure.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The DPD Director has
determined that the text amendment described above is not likely to
have a significant adverse environmental impact, and has issued a
Declaration of Non-Significance (no Environmental Impact Statement
required).

Director's report and the Declaration of Non-Significance are
