Variance to allow a 300 square foot second floor addition to an existing
single-family residence, a portion of which constitutes a third story. The proposal also includes a 160 square foot

finished first floor level of this portion of the house is more than 3 feet
above the property’s theoretical grade; therefore, the second floor addition
constitutes a third story. Pursuant to SMMC Section 9.04.20.10.030(k), the
applicant may request a variance to allow an additional story which would
otherwise not be permitted for an existing residential structure. [Planner: Steve
