SPR No. 2025-02 (730 S. Van Ness Street) July 28, 2025 Page 4 5 1 8 1 features. Therefore, staff reviewed the Project for compliance with the SACDG and SD- 40 development standards and worked with the Applicant to ensure that allowable modifications were consistent and compatible with the neighborhood, as required by the applicable SACDG. As illustrated in Table 2, the Project meets all required SD-40 standards, including, but not limited to, lot coverage, height, and setbacks. In addition, the Applicant has adopted an architectural design identified as appropriate within both the HPADG and the SACDG (i.e., Minimal Traditional architectural style). As required by Chapter 6 (Residential Guidelines) of the SACDG, the modifications are proposed to be compatible in size, scale, massing, and design to the nearby homes and neighborhood. The proposed work maintains architectural standards compatible with the existing architectural character of the Heninger Park neighborhood, and is designed to include architecturally appropriate exterior materials, gable treatments, and architectural massing consistent with existing neighborhood fabric and architectural styles found in the area. The overall features and materials would be architecturally compatible with the SACDG, as they include high quality materials that will ensure that the residence ages well for the duration of the building’s lifespan.
