Pontevedra Drive height variation appeal to City Council
A neighbor is appealing the city's conditional approval of a two-story addition to a single-story home. The appellant argued the expanded neighborhood-compatibility analysis she requested was missing from the staff report, and technical difficulties cut the presentation short — so the hearing was continued to May 26.
Second-story ADU addition at 6917 Starstone Drive
A homeowner wants to convert a garage into an ADU and add a second story, making the house the largest in the neighborhood. Commissioners worried about height (about 9 feet above what state law requires), the awkward placement over the garage, and losing covered parking. They gave the applicant two weeks to revise the design rather than deny outright.
