Variance sought to build a single-family home on a 0.4-acre flag lot

Owners want to keep the lot split off a larger property intact and build a home of about 1,600 to 2,400 square feet, possibly with a 600-square-foot accessory unit later. The request has not yet been scheduled for a City Council hearing.

Project narrative

  • Owners argue the 0.402-acre flag lot's long, narrow access strip justifies a variance to build one single-family home, with an optional future ADU, and not higher density.
