When it arrived to selecting the fate of a companion unit in the Barber Tract, the La Jolla Development Permit Evaluate Committee read — among the other things — a debate on the that means of the word “and.”
The project phone calls for a coastal progress permit to transform a 263-square-foot home around a 449-sq.-foot detached garage into a companion device at 416 Nautilus St. The garage is becoming created anew and with a new footprint that applicant Claude-Anthony Marengo stated much better satisfies parking demands for the spot. The advancement would encroach into the two the facet and rear setbacks.
A city of San Diego informational bulletin this thirty day period about accent dwelling models (a different title for companion units) states that “the ADU may well encroach into the facet and rear setbacks of the zone, together with up to the assets line.”
Having said that, no matter whether the “and” indicates a advancement can encroach into both equally setbacks at the similar time or possibly the facet setback or the rear was up for interpretation. At a previous hearing Nov. 10, neighbor Steven Wright stated, “You can encroach on just one of the setbacks, but not both.”
Attempting to clear up the confusion, DPR Chairman Brian Will said throughout the Dec. 8 assembly that “there is a extended-standing archetype for accent constructions in San Diego, and it is the carriage houses that communities like North Park, South Park, Hillcrest are chock full of. … If you check out any of those people buildings, they are on the two side property and rear lawn setbacks simultaneously. It has been clearly the follow at the town that they enable simultaneous encroachments into each setbacks, and I assume that plan is completely obvious in follow, even if it is not so in the code.”
Regional architect and expert Phil Merten argued towards the undertaking, questioning no matter whether the garage framework on which the companion device would be developed is in violation of the code in conditions of its setbacks. There also had been worries with the parking and no matter if adequate space would be remaining for automobiles.
Having said that, a motion that conclusions can be designed to assist the challenge passed 5-2, with trustees Angeles Liera and Mike Costello dissenting with no remark.

“We are maintaining the form and configuration of the structures we are just updating them,” applicant consultant Paul Benton claimed. “There are a few of balconies currently being added to the beach front side, which are completely supported by the current construction.”
Costello thanked Benton for “keeping the developing intact” and preserving the view corridor.
“This is an instance of what we like to see on the shoreline,” Costello claimed.
Country Club companion device denied: A proposed companion unit on Crespo Generate in the Country Club location was denied unanimously. Plans simply call for a new detached 893-sq.-foot unit at 1644 Crespo that is intended to mimic the main house.
However Will mentioned the design is “lovely” and “like a cabin in the mountains,” other trustees experienced worries about building impacts.
Trustee Diane Kane reported two properties have been crafted in the vicinity in the previous calendar year or so and cranes were being brought in in the course of building. During that time, the avenue was correctly shut. She requested irrespective of whether the companion device could be constructed offsite and then introduced in to lessen the effects, since the web-site is “difficult for access” and assignments can “leave a mess for the community.”
Applicant representative Audrey Ruland could only give “possibly” as an respond to. Mainly because she is not the contractor, she couldn’t say just about anything additional committal, she claimed.
Further, Ruland reported, no further parking would be associated with the task, as the town does not call for it.
The DPR board identified that findings are unable to be built to help the job.
The more unit “should have [additional] parking, even although it is not technically required,” trustee Greg Jackson claimed, and the board was “not certain development would be possible with no disrupting the neighborhood unduly.”
Ruland said she would look at a return go to to DPR. If not, the challenge will commence to the La Jolla Neighborhood Preparing Association for further evaluate or to have the DPR conclusions ratified.
