a. ITEM:
1555 Glenmont Drive
DRB Case No. 2009690-B
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to add a 1,577 square-foot (SF) two-story addition with an
attached, one-car garage at the front of an existing 3,110 SF, one-story house (built in
1947) with an existing attached, two-car garage on a 16,950 SF lot in the R1R-II (Restricted
Residential, FAR District II) zone. This is a second submittal for Final Review; on January
28, 2021, the DRB voted to “Return for Redesign”.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The project is exempt from CEQA review as a Class 1 “Existing Facilities” exemption
pursuant to Section 15301 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it is a minor addition.
The property does not appear to be eligible for historic designation at the federal, state, or
local level for either its architectural merit or any associations with people or events
significant in history and is therefore not considered a historic resource under CEQA.
