RE:
Hatem Residence (East Cooper Court, Unit C) -- Insubstantial Subdivision
Amendment for Storage Area Floor Area
DATE:
February 29,1996
--------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Staff recommends approval of an increase to the approved floor area to
allow for a storage loft. Storage area is not exempt from FAR calculations.
REVIEW: This five unit residential development was approved in 1995 via the
subdivision, rezoning, and Historic Preservation review processes. Among other
approvals, the HPC granted a 500 square foot bonus to the project. In January of 1996,
Planning staff reviewed the approvals in order to clarify the floor areas approved by the
City Council.
Staff s review established that the maximum total allowable FAR for the subdivided and
rezoned property is 7,250 square feet. The proposed FAR represented to Council during
the project's February 1995 approval was 6,884 sq. ft. The Community Development
Director approval of an insubstantial amendment to the FAR on FebruarY)t, 1996 brings
the proposed total to 7,164 square feet of FAR.
CURRENT ISSUE: The Hatem residence (Unit C) entails the renovation of a historic
barn on the property. The footprint of the building is small (approximately 20' by 30'),
and a historic loft existed in the building at the time ofHPC review.
In consideration of I) the design intent of the entire project; 2) the proposed FAR still
being below the maximum allowable FAR on the site; 3) HPC and Council approval of
the "shell" of the home; and 4) the effort on the part of the owner to create storage space
in a small dwelling without adding to the bulk of the building, staff supports an
insubstantial amendment to increase the current approved FAR from 6,884 s.f. to 7,164
s.f. Staff finds that the change will not increase visual or functional impacts on the
property because the space will be used solely for household storage. However, staff is
concerned that the plans show a closet in the space. This should be eliminated to
reinforce the use of the space for storage purposes rather than living purposes.
RECOMMENDA nON: Staff recommends approval of an increase in FAR from 6,884
s.f. to 7,164 s.f. for the total floor area of the East Cooper Court project to accommodate a
storage loft in Unit C. This is divided among the individ~ units as follows*:
Parcell:
Unit A northwest comer - 1,800 square feet
Unit B northeast comer - 1,800 square feet
,-."
~.
Parcel 2:
Unit C southeast comer/bam - 880 square feet
Unit D middle unit - 1,598 square feet
Unit E southwest comer - 1,086 square feet
* note that the floor areas discussed in this memo pre-date the Ordinance 30 changes to
floor area defmitions.
Staff also recommends a condition that the closet in the loft be removed.
I hereby approve the insubstantial Amendment to the Subdivision development plan for
East Cooper Court with the one condition as stated above pursuant to Municipal Code
ection 24-7-1006.

2. Development Review Procedure Summary: The zero step staff
approval application process can be described as follows.
Stage One: Attend pre-application conference. The purpose of
this one-on-one meeting with staff is to determine whether
your development proposal can be processed at the staff level
and if so, to identify the materials staff will need to review
your application.
stage Two: Submit development application. Based on your
meeting with staff, you should respond to the appropriate
portions of the application paCkage and submit the re~uested
number of copies of a complete application, with the
appropriate processing fee, to the Planning Office.
Stage Three: Determination of Completeness. Within five
working days of the date of your s~bmission, the application
package will be reviewed by a member of the staff. You will
be notified in writing of whether the application is complete
or if additional materials are required at this time.
Stage Four: Review of Development Application. Once your
application is determined to be complete, it will be reviewed
by the staff for compliance with the applicable standards of
the Code. Within five working days, a memo will be written
by the staff member for signature by the Planning Director.
The memo will explain whether your application complies with
the Code and will list any conditions which should apply if
the application is to be approved.
Final approval of any Development Application which amends a
recorded document, such as a plat, agreement or deed
,
~
~
restriction, will require the applicant to prepare an amended
version of that document for review and approval by staff.
Staff will provide the applicant with the applicable contents
for the revised plat, while the City Attorney is normally in
charge of the form for recorded agreements and deed
restrictions. We suggest that you not go to the trouble or
expense of preparing these documents until the staff has
determined that your application is eligible for the requested
amendment or exemption.
Stage Five: Receipt of BUilding Permit. Once you have
received a copy of a signed staff approval, you may proceed
to Building Permit Review. During this time, your proj ect
will be examined for its compliance with the Uniform Building
Code. It will also be checked for compliance with applicable
provisions of the Land Use Regulations which were not reviewed
in detail during the zero step review (this might include a
check of floor area ratios, setbacks, parking, open space and
the like). Fees for water, sewer, parks and employee housing
will be collected at this time, if due.
For more information on the BUilding Permit stage, please
visit the Building Department to obtain handouts on their
review procedures.
