1700 Kingston Avenue single-family conversion

Summary

An applicant wants to convert a multi-family-style building into a single-family home without the front porch required by the Coastal Character District Pattern Book. Neighbors fear the building will remain nonconforming and that porches and balconies will overlook adjacent properties. The board continued the case, requiring a redesign.
