Major Design Review at 1454 Balboa Avenue

Description

A new 3,254-square-foot two-story house with detached garage (plus ministerial ADU/JADU) replacing an existing one-story home. Approved with a condition to drop the white-and-black modern farmhouse palette for earth tones.

Impact summary

Neighbors get a fully conforming new home, though the color palette will change from stark white to earth tones before permits are issued.
