Major Design Review at 1015 Cortez Avenue (DSR26-0012)

Description

A 1,762-square-foot addition plus a new detached garage, retaining existing non-conforming setbacks. Approved with added landscaping, fencing, and driveway conditions after a neighbor's letter.

Impact summary

A near-rebuild of a small home; the neighbor who wrote in about window placement was told change is part of neighborhood life, and the city added landscaping and driveway conditions.
