One single-family home proposed on 1.5-acre hillside lot
The application seeks city approval to build one house on a hillside site of about 1.5 acres. City staff say it needs the stricter Category II hillside review because of surrounding slopes, and a geotechnical report may be required. It is under administrative review.
