An application was filed by Michael and Michelle Braue, owners of real property located at 219 2nd Street, requesting an addition to an existing nonconforming single-family residence, which results in a greater than 50% increase in valuation, pursuant to Chapter 17.52 of the Zoning Ordinance. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a hearing to consider the application on January 17, 2006, at which testimony and evidence, both written and oral, were presented to and considered by the Planning Commission. Section 3. Based on the evidence received at the public hearing, the Planning Commission makes the following factual findings: 1. The applicant is proposing to add 1,078 square feet of livable area, on the first and second floors, to an existing single-family dwelling with nonconforming conditions with respect to .perimeter fence height, garage and cave setbacks, turning area, and front and side yard requirements. The expansion will increase the living area of the house from 2,151 square feet to 3,229 square feet. The project results in a 65.7% increase in valuation. Section 4. Based on the foregoing factual findings, the Planning Commission makes the following findings: 1. The existing nonconformities are not severe or unusual. 2. The scale of the proposed expansion is reasonable, and is consistent with planning and zoning requirements for the R-3 zone and does not warrant requiring the current nonconforming conditions to be brought into conformance; 3. Approval of the expansion is consistent with the intent and goals of Chapter 17.52 of the Zoning Ordinance; 4. The project is Categorically Exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, pursuant to CEQA guidelines, Section 15301 e(2) with the finding that the project is in an area with available services and not in an environmentally sensitive area.
