Design Review Board - 11/12/26

The MyGlendale Design Review Board meeting on November 12, 2026, considered Design Review Case PBR0063882026 for a proposed three-story, 1,571-square-foot single-family home with an attached 438-square-foot garage at 1719 Gladys Drive. The vacant, steeply sloped hillside lot is undersized for new-home development; prior Planning Hearing Officer approvals included variances for lot size, setbacks, and driveway length, plus an administrative exception for building height and interior setbacks. A request for additional floor area was denied, and the proposal presented to the board complied with the allowable floor area. Staff recommended approval, and a neighboring resident spoke in support.

The board unanimously approved the project, adding a condition that the wood siding beside the window be recessed consistently with the window and shown in plan-check details. Approval also retained staff conditions for decorative paving on the driveway and walkway and compliance with Urban Forestry recommendations. Board members suggested, as a nonbinding consideration, extending split-face block at the building base. No contract awards, purchasing decisions, or other procurement activity were identified.
