Document Description
The applicant requests approval of a Development Plan for a Kensington Design Review to allow the replacement of an existing deck on the southern (rear) end of the property and to construct a new deck on the western portion of the property.

The project also includes variance requests to allow the following: a 13-foot rear yard setback (where 15 feet is required) for the construction of the wood deck on the southern portion of the property, and a 0-foot side yard setback (where 5 feet is required) for the construction of the deck on the western portion of the property. The subject property is located at 154 Lawson Road in the Kensington area of Contra Costa County.
The project was approved on December 18, 2023, by the Contra Costa County Zoning Administrator.
