� . � - �-1 REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the City Manager March 14, 2005 Subject Grant of Revocable Encroachment Permit for a Roof Overhang at 1204 Shasta Street Recommendation Approve and authorize execution of the Grant of Revocable Encroachment Permit for the construction of a twenty-eight-foot wide by three-foot deep encroachment for a roof overhang twenty feet above the public right-of-way. Background San Carlos Stairs will be developing a vacant lot at 1204 Shasta Street with a new 5,100 square foot warehouse style building on a 9,690 square foot site. The property is zoned for medium intensity industrial uses with an Industrial Restrict (IR) Zoning designation. San Carlos Stairs will use the new building for manufacturing San Carlos Stairs' custom staircase products. This project has been under City review for some time and has included several significant revisions over that time. In early 2003 over the course of thee meetings, the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) made recommendations for approval based on the first design submittal. Later in the summer of 2003, the applicant hired a new architect and significantly revised the building design, but maintained the previously reviewed site plan. A Planned Development Permit was issued for the use as well as setback and landscape variations that were consistent with both the originat design and the new design. However, since the building design had changed significantly since the first submittal, the architecture needed to be reviewed again. The ARC considered the new design over two meetings in late 2003. In early 2004, the Zoning Administrator issued a permit forthe revised building architecture based on the recommendations of the ARC. The revised building design includes a second-story eave that projects over the public right-of-way. This feature enhances the building entrance on Shasta Street, which is the customer entrance to the showroom, and thus this feature is considered important for the building architecture and how the space inside the building is proposed to be used. In consideration that the building design is recommended by the ARC, and assuming that it should be maintained as approved by the Architectural Permit, there are finro possible ways to eliminate the eave encroachment: move the building back, or reduce the size of the building. If the building were shifted west by three feet, the overhang would be right at the property line and would not encroach. However, such a shift increases the setback on
