ApprovedSite Plan

920 & 930 Rachel Court duplexes with hillside exception (APPL-0027-2026 / ARCH-0529-2024)

Description

Two mirrored multi-story duplexes on a .26-acre R-2 hillside site, each lot with up to two ADUs, plus a tree removal and an exception letting five of eleven retaining walls exceed the four-foot hillside height limit.

Impact summary

Adds up to ten homes on an infill lot near transit, but neighbors worry the retaining wall near 2098 Rachel Street blocks windows, blocks maintenance, and raises fire-access concerns.
