MEMORANDUM
TO: Sarah Yoon, Historic Preservation Planner
FROM: Sophie Varga, Zoning Enforcement Officer
DATE: 11/17/2020
RE: 227 E Bleeker Referral Comments
Floor area calculations:
1. Allowed deck exemption: the deck exemption is calculated off of the
prescribed floor area by the specific approval (1,800 SF); the Floor area
bonus is not included. The deck exemption is 270 SF.
a. Plan Sheet: A.1.05
b. Code Section: 26.575.020.D.4(b)
2. Front porches: if the front porches are more than 30” above finished
grade they are attributed to floor area as deck. Both front porches need
to be included in floor area calculations.
a. Plan Sheet: A.1.05
b. Code Section: 26.575.020.D.5
3. Subgrade wall calculations: The percentage of exposed wall area should
be rounded up to 3.5 (from 3.46). It is preferable to be consistent with the
number of decimal places; two are used in all other calculations. Provide
sections that clearly depict the interior wall being projected outward,
especially for Walls 2 and 6. If finished grade and natural grade are the
same, note this.
a. Plan Sheet: A.1.05
b. Code Section: 26.575.020.D.8
Setback Variations: please be sure to dimension all projections into the setback.
A variation needs to be requested for the rear yard setback for all three levels
(this portion of the building is not used solely as a garage – there is a deck above
it). A variation request should also be made to legalize the existing overhang into
the front yard setback.
This memorandum summarizes major items. A variety of other requirements will
be necessary for building permit submittal and zoning review.
