Discuss second-floor scope before committing to a larger house

For a La Cañada Flintridge expansion, discuss the proposed upper floor and site conditions before committing to a larger house. Ask City Planning which second-floor and hillside reviews apply to the address. Then compare room layouts with the stair connection, roof changes and relationship to neighboring homes in view.

Compare an upper-floor addition with other layouts using the whole building. Stair placement, roof changes and the relationship to adjoining homes should be visible before the preferred scheme is priced.

Ask which reviews match the proposed expansion

Describe the proposed upper-floor expansion and any site changes to City Planning before detailed design. City project notices for hillside remodels have listed both a Hillside Development Permit and Second-Floor Review. Ask which reviews apply to your parcel and how they should be coordinated with the proposed scope.

Show the upper floor in section and elevation

A room plan alone does not show how new upstairs space meets the existing roof or ground. Ask for sections and elevations that explain the stair connection, roof changes and neighboring context. Use those drawings to compare alternatives before detailed selections.

La Cañada Flintridge project questions

Does every La Cañada Flintridge addition need hillside review?

Confirm the site designation and proposed work with the City. The relevant question is whether your particular expansion involves second-floor review, hillside review or another planning step. Ask before setting the drawing and construction schedule.

What should I compare before adding an upper floor?

Compare the new stair, retained downstairs layout and exterior height and roof form with alternatives. Include the connection to existing construction in the design and estimate.

Can a nearby approved two-story home establish what I may build?

It can illustrate a design idea. It does not establish the applicable standards, approvals or site conditions for your property. Ask the City to evaluate the specific proposal.
