2012.1214V: 777 BUENA VISTA AVENUE WEST, Lot 007
in Assessor's Block 1256 in a RH-3 (Residential, House, Three-Family) Zoning
District and a 40-X Height and Bulk District.
FRONT
SETBACK VARIANCE SOUGHT: The proposal is to construct a one-story
vertical addition to the existing two-story, two-family dwelling, the south
corner of which will be in the required front setback along the front (east)
property line. The proposal also includes a three-story rear horizontal
addition, which is not subject to the Variance.
SECTION 132 OF THE PLANNING CODE requires a minimum front setback of
approximately 15 feet for the subject property, measured from the front
property line. The south corner of the proposed third story would extend to
within approximately 11 feet of the front property line and encroach into the
required front setback; therefore, a variance is required.
ARCHITECTURAL PLANS: The site
plan and elevations of the proposed project are available on the Planning
Department’s website at: http://sf-planning.org/ftp/files/notice/2012.1214V.pdf.

in Assessor's Block 3254 in a RH-1(D) (Residential- House, One Family-
Detached) Zoning District and a 40-X Height and Bulk District.
REAR AND
SIDE YARD VARIANCES SOUGHT: The subject property contains a
one-story over garage single-family dwelling. The project proposes to raise
the height of the existing building by approximately 2’-0” to create a
habitable level below the existing first floor and to construct a two-story
horizontal addition at the rear (southeast corner) of the building that would
not extend beyond the depth of the existing rear wall.
PER SECTION 133 OF THE PLANNING CODE the subject property is required to
maintain two side yards of approximately 4' each. The existing building
currently provides side yards of approximately 1' on the south side and 3' on
the north side. Therefore, the proposals to raise the existing building and
construct a horizontal addition at the rear (southeast corner) require a
variance.
PER SECTION 134 OF THE PLANNING CODE the subject property is required to
maintain a rear yard of approximately 24'-0". The existing building
currently provides a rear yard of approximately 17'-6". Therefore, the
proposals to raise the existing building and construct a horizontal addition at
the rear (southeast corner) require a variance.

023E in Assessor's Block 6665 in a RH-2(Residential- House, Two Family) Zoning
District and a 40-X Height and Bulk District.
REAR YARD
VARIANCE SOUGHT: The project is to legalize an existing basement level deck, stairs
and enclosure located below an existing 1st floor deck at the rear. The
project also involves the addition of 1-hour rated firewalls along the west and
east sides of the basement level deck.
PER SECTION 134 OF THE PLANNING CODE the subject property is required to
maintain a rear yard of approximately 20'-0". The rear addition proposed
for legalization along with the construction of new firewalls encroach 14'-6"
into the required rear yard, resulting in a rear yard of approximately
5'-6". Therefore, the proposal to legalize the rear deck, stairs and
enclosure at the basement level requires a variance.

in Assessor's Block 2344A in a RH-1(D)(Residential- House, One Family-
Detached) Zoning District and a 40-X Height and Bulk District.
REAR YARD
VARIANCE SOUGHT: The project proposes to enclose a second floor rear deck on the
southwest corner of the dwelling. This existing structure currently encroaches
into the required rear yard, thereby requiring a rear yard variance to allow
enclosure of the deck.
PER SECTION 134 OF THE PLANNING CODE the subject property is required to
maintain a rear yard of approximately 20'-6". The existing structure
encroaches 12'-10" into the required rear yard. The proposed deck
enclosure would encroach approximately 10'-4" into the required rear yard
and result in a rear yard of approximately 10'-2" at point of the
addition. Therefore, the project requires a variance from the rear yard
requirement of the Planning Code.

REAR YARD
VARIANCE SOUGHT: The project includes removal of an existing rear stairway (to
grade) and construction of a new rear stairway (to roof) to access a new roof
deck.
PER SECTION 134 OF THE PLANNING CODE the subject property is required to
maintain a rear yard of approximately 45 feet. The proposed rear stairway with
landing would encroach approximately 20 feet into the required rear yard and
result in a rear setback of approximately 25 feet; therefore, the project
requires a variance from the rear yard requirement of the Planning Code.

REAR YARD
VARIANCE SOUGHT: The proposal includes replacing an existing fire escape with a new
deck and spiral staircase on the second floor, at the southeast corner of the
dwelling. The existing fire escape is a noncomplying structure as it currently
encroaches 3.7 feet into the required rear yard. The new deck and stairway will
extend 5 feet into the required rear setback.
PER SECTION 134 OF THE PLANNING CODE the subject property is required to
maintain a rear yard of approximately 15 feet. The proposed rear addition would
encroach approximately 5 feet into the required rear yard and result in a
setback of approximately 10 feet; therefore, the project requires a variance
from the rear yard requirement of the Planning Code.

MASS
REDUCTION AND PARKING VARIANCES SOUGHT: The proposal is to
construct an approximately 19-foot rear horizontal expansion of the existing
second floor.
PER SECTION 242(e) (3) OF THE PLANNING CODE the subject property must provide
at least 650 square feet of mass reduction. The proposal provides less than 100
square feet of mass reduction. Therefore, the project requires a mass reduction
variance.
PER SECTION 242(e) (4) OF THE PLANNING CODE the subject property must provide
at least 2 independently accessible off-street parking spaces. The existing
house contains no garage or off-street parking, and the proposal does not add
any parking. Therefore, the project requires a parking variance.

stairs to connect the second and third floor decks.
PER SECTION 242(e) OF THE PLANNING CODE the subject property is required to
maintain a rear yard of 33 feet 9 inches. The existing second floor rear deck
and stairs are built completely within the required rear yard, leaving a rear
yard of approximately 12 feet 6 inches. The proposal would expand the deck at
the second level and add stairs to a new third floor deck. The proposal would
maintain a rear yard of approximately 12 feet 6 inches on the second floor, and
approximately 15 feet 6 inches on the third floor; therefore, the project
requires a variance.

SECTION 134 OF THE PLANNING CODE requires a minimum rear yard depth of

REAR YARD
VARIANCE SOUGHT: The proposal is to construct a spiral staircase in the required
rear yard that would provide access to the rear yard from the second story
unit. Currently, the subject property does not have a Code-complying rear
yard. The proposal will encroach approximately four feet into the required
rear yard.
