Commission recommends SUP for accessory dwelling at 1213 Hannah Circle; applicant pledges unit not to be leased

Staff presented a specific‑use permit request to convert an existing garage to an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) at 1213 Hannah Circle and recommended forwarding approval to city council. The presentation noted the site is in an SF‑10 zoning district, the building footprint and height will remain the same, and staff reported receiving one letter of opposition and no letters of support.

During discussion staff explained the conversion would remain accessory to the primary structure under current zoning definitions and noted this is the first ADU application received during their time ("This is the 1st 1."), meaning staff records show no prior approvals. Frank of Enchant Design, the applicant’s representative, said the conversion is intended for multigenerational use and stated, "we'll definitely mark it as not to be leased or sublet or anything like that." The commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of zoning case Z1557‑26; any construction and final occupancy remain subject to trade reviews and permitting.
