ISSUES OF CONCERN
No. SDU OO-22KDP 00-48 - SISSON SECOND DWELLJNG UNIT
Planning:
1. The maximum allowed area for a Second Dwelling Unit (SDU) is 640 square feet. The
proposed floor plan and elevations indicate a 22 foot by 29 foot living area and a 10
foot by 18 foot covered patio area. Since the patio area is covered by a roof, it is
counted in the floor area of the SDU. Please revise the floor plans so that the total
square footage for the SDU does not exceed 640 square feet covered area.
2. All SDUs require a distinct, off-street parking space (Section 21 .10.015(c)(3)(G) of the
Zoning Ordinance). Please clearly indicate on the site plan the designated parking space
for the SDU. If the space is within the existing four-car garage, please indicate which
space is reserved for the SDU and show that the minimum dimensions of 12 feet by 20
feet are being satisfied.
3. All SDUs must be architecturally compatible with the main dwelling unit on the property
in terms of appearance, materials and finished quality (Section 21 .10.015(c)(3)(L) of the
Zoning Ordinance). Please provide elevations of the existing main dwelling unit, with
colors, materials and finish detailed on the plans in order to verify architectural
compatibility of the proposed SDU.
Engineering:
1. Dedication for public right-of-way will be required along the project frontage prior to
issuance of building permit. The ultimate right-of-way width shall be located 10 feet
back from the face of curb. Please show the proposed dedication and dimension the
width of the dedication on the site plan.
2. Please add the following information on the site plan:
a. Clearly show the driveway approach and the location of the driveway on the
property. The driveway approach shall be constructed of concrete to the
proposed right-of-way boundary (the boundary established after the dedication);
b. Please correct the Assessor’s Parcel Number to 206-042-01;
C. Dimension the existing street centerline to right-of-way width and street
centerline to curb width;
d. Show the median on Tamarack Avenue;
e. Show the location of the existing water meter(s), Pacific Bell pedestal, storm
drain inlet, median and any other public facilities located along the project
frontage.
3. If a panhandle lot were ever recorded on the property, the driveway leading to the rear
lot must be paved. No response or revisions are required by this advisory comment.
