<br />Table 1 - Planning Commission Approval
<br />*Estimate of 2,400 SF includes the minimum of 2,000 SF livable space approved by the
<br />Planning Commission plus an approximately 400 SF garage.
<br />The distinction between "buildable" and "livable" square feet is important. As previously
<br />stated, the Planning Commission's actions guarantee at least 2,000 square feet of
<br />livable space.' This will generally allow homes with a minimum of approximately 2,400
<br />buildable square feet (assuming a 400 square foot garage). With this assumption, the
<br />Planning Commission's action will allow an average home size of approximately 2,638
<br />square feet of buildable space. (In its appeal, the applicant calculates that Condition
<br />No. 19 as adopted by the Commission will allow an average home size of only 2,502
<br />square feet, but this calculation understates the minimum development allowed under
<br />3 Article 33 of the Redwood City Zoning Ordinance, Section 33.16, Nonconforming Parking - Single -
<br />Family Residential, provides a specific reference to the term "living area" when restricting home sizes to
<br />2,000 square feet, Living Area is consider synonymous with "livable space" for these purposes.
