HomeMy WebLinkAbout1992-03-11FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO, 92-3:
1. The granting of Conditional Exception (Variance) No. 92-3 to
allow a front entry garage at ten feet (101) in lieu of
twenty-two feet (221), and the upper story setback at ten feet
(101) in lieu of fifteen feet (151) will not be materially
detrimental to the public welfare, or injurious to property in
the same zone classifications. The existing sidewalk is
located approximately twenty feet (20') from the existing
garage leaving a driveway area large enough to accommodate two
(2) cars. In addition, there will be a checker block type
driveway which provides the strength of concrete with a grassy
appearance along most of the frontage. This allows for two
additional vehicles to be parked in the front setback for a
total of six on -site spaces. The reduced garage setback does
not impact adjacent adjacent site angle visibility requirements.
2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject
property, including size, 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
subdivision was developed with a sixty foot (60') right-of-way
and a forty foot (401) wide street (curb to curb), leaving an
approximate ten foot (101) easement between the sidewalk and
actual front property line.
3. The granting of Conditional Exception No. 92-3 is necessary in
order to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial
property rights. The existing side entry garage is setback 10'
from the front property line; the new garage will be a front
entry type located at the same setback. In addition, there are
two other homes in the subdivision that have a reduced garage
setback.
4. The granting of Conditional Exception No. 92-3 will not be
materially detrimental to the public welfare, or injurious to
property in the same zone classifications. The new front entry
garage will be built with the same setback as the existing
garage on the site. The reduced upper story setback results in
the second story being flush with the garage face which is
similar with other homes in the vicinity.
5. The granting of Conditional Exception No. 92-3 will not
adversely affect the General Plan of the City of Huntington
Beach.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
1. The site plan, floor plans, and elevations received and dated
February 6, 1992 shall be the conceptually approved layout.
