BOX 1200 • 77 FAIR DRNE • CALIFORNIA 92628-1200 DEVELOPMENTSERVICESDEPAR7MENT Steve Legere 217 Avocado St. Unit #6 Costa Mesa, Calif. 92626 RE: CHANGE OF OCCUANCY AT 638 W.18TH STREET, COSTA MESA Recently it has come to the attention of the Development Services Department that your dwelling which is located at 638 W. 18`n street has been modified from a single family dwelling to a multi-family dwelling (duplex), without approval of the Development Services Department. Essentially, the occupancy classification has changed from an R-1 (single family dwelling) to R-2 (apartment house). This constitutes a violation of section 111 of the 2010 California Building Code (exhibit A). A reseazch of our records revealed that a building permit #149 (exhibit B) was issued on March 19, 1054 for a 296 sq. ft. "living quarters addition". This permit was issued a fina] inspection approval on June 2, 1958. The pernut inspection record (e�chibit C) and the activity history sheet (exhibit D) indicate that this permit was issued for an "addition" versus a secondary dwelling, apartment or duplex. None of the remaining city records indicate that this permit was issuad for a"secondary dwellin� uniY'. Also, building permit #149 was issued to the origina] address of 638 W. 18 Street which indicates that it was not issued to a secondary dwelling unit. If it had, it would have been addressed as 638 W, 18`�' Street #102 or Unit B. If you have any documents in your possession such as a City approved plan or other permit documents that support this change of occupancy, please submit them to me and they will be reviewed and considered by staff. In light of the above, my final determination of this matter is that permit #149 was issued for an addition and not a secondary dwelling. You are therefore required to restore this stnxcture back to its original condition which is a single family dwelling with an addition, within 90 days from the date of this letter. Failure to comply with this order wil] result in this matter being referred to our Code Enforcement Division for further enforcement action. Please be advised that the Board of Appeals process is available to you should wish to exercise your right to appeal my decision. If you choose to do so, please contact me and I will assist you through that process.
