Courthouse Project Budget Increase and Divarty Street Improvements
The Council bumped the Courthouse Project budget to $1,347,921.07, pulling $60,099 from reserves to cover the City's share of already-completed Divarty Street undergrounding work under the Shea Homes agreement.
Appeal of 1828 Yosemite Street Approval
Neighbors appealed the Planning Commission's approval of a second-story addition with a deck and balcony over a zero-lot-line garage. The council approved it with new privacy-screening and documentation conditions.
Attached garages and private property-line dispute
The applicant's garage shares a wall with the neighbor's at 1820 Yosemite; the project now separates them by moving the new garage back five feet, but who pays to weatherproof the exposed neighbor wall remains a private civil dispute. Staff made clear the city plays no role in that agreement — property-line questions get sorted out during building permit review.
