469 West J Street Design Review
Description
A homeowner's plan to expand a 1900-era non-historic house by 903 square feet to the side and rear, add a rear deck and covered front porch, and update exterior materials. The commission approved it unanimously with two conditions after the design was scaled back from a contested earlier version.
Impact summary
The addition grows the house while staying within setbacks and height limits, and the Craftsman-style materials and reduced massing were designed to blend with the historic neighborhood.
