2019-013740COA/VAR: 812 Scott Street - east side of Scott Street between McCallister and Fulton Streets, Lot 016 in Assessor’s Block 0777 (District 5) – Request for a Certificate of Appropriateness, pursuant to Article 10 of the Planning Code, to modify an existing two-story, two-family residential building in the Alamo Square Historic District. The project includes a horizontal addition, new deck, and new openings at the rear of an existing two-family residence. Additional alterations include new select openings at the ground floor, replacement windows at front elevation, and raising the building approximately 15-inches to accommodate additional head-height in the ground floor unit. Work also includes interior remodeling of both units, converting unoccupied space into habitable space, seismic strengthening, and new skylights. The project also requests a Variance from Planning Code Sections 134 (rear yard). The existing building encroaches into the required rear yard by approximately 13-feet, 11-inches. The proposed horizontal addition at the first floor and deck at the second floor will match the existing encroachment; therefore, a Variance is required. The property is within an RH-3 (Residential-House, Three-Family) Zoning District and a 40-X Height and Bulk District. A Historic Preservation Commission approval at the public hearing would constitute the Approval Action for the project for the purposes of CEQA, pursuant to San Francisco Administrative Code Section 31.04(h).
