What this means
The commission approved a permit for a single-family home addition that will add 982 square feet on the first floor and 775 square feet on a second story, raising the home’s height from about 11 feet 8 inches to 22 feet. It also approved a new horizontal mixed-use project after finding the environmental addendum was adequate and that the project would not create new significant impacts beyond those already analyzed. For residents, that means both projects can move forward with the conditions adopted by the commission.
