Proiect Proposal: The applicant has submitted plans in order to legalize an illegal 3BB sq. ft. garage conversion with
the addition of a bathroom and a 98 sq. ft. addition to create an Accessor Dwelling Unit. Because the addition and
conversion was done without permits or to building code, the applicant has proposed a second expansion to create a

existing neighborhoods and new residential areas; Provide flexibility to accommodate changes in household size or
composition over the course of time, allowing for intergenerational living and on-site caretakers/assistants; Make
efficient use of residential land; and Fit into the neighborhood while maintaining stability, property values, and, in the
