SUBJECT: AV 01-02 -HOOVER STREET FENCE
The Planning Director has completed a review of your application for an
Administrative Variance, AV 01-02 at 1275 Hoover Street. After careful
consideration of the circumstances surrounding this request, the Planning Director
has determined that the four findings required for granting an Administrative
Variance cannot be made and therefore, denies this request based on the following
findings and conditions. •
Findings:
1 . There are not exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions
applicable to the property or to the intended use that do not apply generally
to the other property or class of use in the same vicinity and zone because
the subject property and surrounding properties meet all of the zoning
requirements for lot size and dimensions and there are no significant
topographical features on or near the property.
2. The requested variance is not necessary for the preservation and enjoyment
of a substantial property right possessed by other property in the same
vicinity and zone but which is denied to the property in question because the
surrounding and neighboring residential uses do not possess side or rear yard
fencing over six feet in height.
3. The granting of this variance would not be materially detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and
zone in which the property is located because the overheight fence is located
in the middle of the internal side property boundary and does not interfere
with vehicular or pedestrian visibility.
4. The granting of this variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive
General Plan because fencing is a common feature of residentially designated
property because side and rear yard fencing are typical features in single
family residential areas and no impacts to .vehicular or pedestrian circulation
exist due to the overheight fence.
