The proposed 2,205 sq. ft. second story addition to an existing one-story single family residence conforms with the plans, policies, requirements and standards of The Coastal Element of the General Plan. 2.

The proposed 2,205 sq. ft. second story addition to an existing one-story single family residence conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL/CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 89-65: 1. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, 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 classifications. The subject property is an irregular shaped cul-de-sac lot that is provided with reduced lot frontage and is located adjacent to the water. 2. Since the subject property cannot be fully developed within regular development standards, Conditional Exception No. 89-65 to permit a third car garage space addition at sixteen feet is necessary in order to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. 3. The granting of Conditional Exception No. 89-65 to construct a third car garage space addition at sixteen feet would not constitute a special privilege inconsistent with limitations upon properties in the vicinity. The existing front entry two (2) car garage is setback sixteen feet from the front property line. 4.
