The San Gabriel Design Review Commission voted April 27 to approve planning case SPR25-084, permitting construction of a new two-story single-family residence at 1001 Euclid Avenue.
Staff presented the project as a 2,580-square-foot contemporary prairie-style home on a 7,500-square-foot corner lot that would replace an existing one-story, 1,121-square-foot house. The proposal includes a detached 693-square-foot three-car garage and landscaping consistent with the city’s single-family residential design guidelines. Staff said the proposal complies with R1 development standards for lot coverage, floor area ratio, height and setbacks and determined the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Guideline 15303 (Class 3) for new construction.
Architect Eric Sang told the commission the design provides four bedrooms and four bathrooms so the family of five can remain on the lot as their needs change, and that the design draws on neighborhood architectural elements such as low-pitched roofs, stucco exteriors and deep eave overhangs. “The proposal will provide four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a three-car garage, giving the family the room they require while remaining on the lot they have been residing for almost 10 years,” Sang said.
Commissioners asked limited clarifying questions about the front pivot door clear opening and the second-floor overhang. Vice Chair Sailor and other members noted the applicant’s landscape plan shows street trees on Fairview that will help with the house’s perceived massing. Commissioner Cheng said the project is “well-designed” and indicated support.
A motion to approve the site plan review as presented carried on roll call (four yes votes; one commissioner absent). The approval is subject to the standard conditions of approval listed in staff’s report and to usual plan-check reviews, including Public Works review of paving and driveway details at permit submittal.
Next steps: the applicant will proceed to building permit plan check and the city will enforce the conditions of approval through that process.
