(Note: There are no records of approval of an ADU. The applicant proposes to remodel the existing residence.)

Decision: Approved

Hearing: Staff gave a brief presentation on the case, addressing the location, the site plan, and photos. The applicant spoke to the BZA and stated that he agreed with the staff report.
