The existing greenspace does not meet the minimum requirement, so this must be reviewed by the ARB. Ordinance Compliance: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of Ordinances. Design Guideline Review: Section 2.7.3.A on page 106 recommends that LS-1 and 2 properties have a greenspace no less than 60% of the lot area. The existing lot coverage is 55%.

Summary of Property: • Character Area: Neighborhood Estates • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Summary of Project: The original approval was for a pair of casement windows flanking a single fixed unit. The Valentines are now proposing a single large horizontal window. The horizontal nature leads to a non-traditional muntin pattern. Ordinance Compliance: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of Ordinances. Design Guideline Review: Section 2.7.1 D on page 96 recommends that all window muntins on the home be the same pattern and proportion, with few exceptions. Discussion is recommended.
