Following staff review of the building permit application it became apparent that the second story was a third story due to the amount of foundation exposed on the lowest level. At that time the applicant met with Planning Department staff and the City’s Building Inspector to di.scuss the building code definition of ba.sement and also the Zoning Ordinance’s definition of building height and half story. Tlie applicant has since revised the plans to incorporate the basement as the first floor and is proposing a new half story above the existing second .story, for a total of 2 and '/j stories.
