Project Description
The applicant requests retroactive Design Review approval to legalize 5,544 square feet of new uses and structures established within a portion of an existing 10,376-square-foot arena on a developed property located in an unincorporated area of Novato. The new uses and structures within the existing arena would entail a 4,796-square-foot machine shop and office, a 271-square-foot storage area, a 334-square-foot storage area, and a new 143-square-foot shower area.
The 5,544 square feet of proposed development would appear to result in a floor area of 10,173 square feet and a floor area ratio of six percent on the 4.17-acre (181,645 square feet) lot. The height of the existing arena would remain unchanged at 28 feet, 3 inches above the surrounding grade, and the existing arena would maintain the following setbacks: 88 feet, 5 inches from the western front property line; 158 feet from the northern side property line; 35 feet, 4 inches from the southern side property line; and 427 feet, 4 inches from the eastern rear property line. The project would also include the ministerial conversion of an outbuilding to an accessory dwelling unit (ADU).
Design Review approval is required pursuant to Section 22.42.020.B of the Marin County Development Code because the project would be located on a lot that would contain more than 3,500 square feet of floor area with the proposed development.
