CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 89-7 Applicant: Pacific Coast Homes This request is covered by Categorical Exemption, Section 15305, Class 5(b), California Environmental Quality Act, 1986. This item was re -heard on March 22 due to insufficient location information of the project in the legal notice. Staff member, Thomas Rogers, reported that this is a request for a five (5) foot rear setback in lieu of the required seven -and -one-half (7.5) rear setback for several garages within the Civic Center Tract South of the Civic Center. Mr. Rogers stated that there was up to a four (4) foot grade differential between the existing streets and the proposed single family homes. Allowing the homes to be set back an additional two -and -one-half (2 1/2) feet would help to take some of the bulk off the streets. Additionally, those lots where the variances are proposed are smaller than the rest of the lots as a result of the realignment of Park and Pine Streets. Staff is recommending approval with conditions. The public hearing was opened and Bill Holman, representing the applicant, was present and spoke in support of the request. There was no one else present to speak for or against the request so the public hearing was closed. CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 89-7 WAS APPROVED BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS: FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL: 1. The granting of Conditional Exception 89-7 will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent upon other properties in the vicinity and under an identical zone classification. The two and one half relief from the rear setback is being made up in the front yard area. ZA Minutes 3/8/89 -6- 4528h 1 2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zone classification up to a four foot grade differential which exists between the proposed structures and the existing street. Moving the structures back two and a half feet will take some of the bulk away from the street. Additionally, the lots for which the variances have been granted are not as deep as a majority of the lots within the tract as a result of the realignment of Park and Pine Streets. 3. The granting of Conditional Exception No. 89-7 is necessary to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. 4. The granting of Conditional Exception No. 89-7 will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property in the same zone classifications. The alley will be twenty (20) feet wide and in a worst case scenario, will have thirty (30) feet free and clear even with garages at a five (5) foot setback providing adequate Fire Department access. SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: 1. The site plan, floor plans, and elevations received and dated February 12, 1989 shall be the approved layout. 2. All building spoils, such as unusable lumber, wire, pipe, and other surplus or unusable material, shall be disposed of at an off —site facility equipped to handle them. 3. All applicable Public Works fees shall be paid prior to issuance of building permits. INFORMATION ON SPECIFIC CODE REOUIREMENTS: 1. The development shall comply with all applicable provisions of the Ordinance Code, Building Division, and Fire Department. 2. The applicant shall meet all applicable local, State, and Federal Fire Codes, Ordinances, and standards. THE MEETING WAS ADJOURNED TO THE MARCH 13, ZONING ADMINISTRATOR.
