Agent recommendation
approve with review
Approve with reviewThis ADU application passed 68 of 70 automated checks and is recommended for approve-with-review. Two items could not be fully resolved by the automated system and need a human reviewer's attention before the permit moves forward: one check requires missing site plan data to evaluate lot coverage, and one flag highlights a legal uncertainty about whether the city's ADU ordinance is currently valid under state law, which changes which ruleset applies.
