&tbject: Administrative Variance No. 82-3, request to allow a
5-foot fence within the front yard setback at 260
Normandy Lane, Carlsbad.
The Land Use Planning Office has completed a review of your
application for an administrative variance at 260 Normandy Lane.
After careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding this
request, the Land Use Planning Manager has determined that the
four findings required for granting an administrative variance
can be made and, therefore, APPROVES this request based on the
following findings and condition:
Findings
1. There are 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
depth of the lot is so minimal that the swimming pool
must be placed in the side yard projecting into the
front yard. State law requires a minimum 5-foot fence
surrounding such pools.
2. The requested variance is 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
other residential properties in the area possess
swimming pools. Denial of this request would prevent
the applicant from enjoying the same right.

3. The granting of this variance will 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 a 5-foot fence
within the front setback will not interfere with traffic
sight-distance nor surrounding view corridors . .
4. The granting of this variance will not adversely affect
the comprehensive general plan because the granting of
this variance will not alter the single family use of
the property as intended by the residential low-medium
density designation of the general plan.
Condition
1. Approval is granted for a 5-foot high fence (AV 82-3)
as shown on Exhibit ''A", dated October 26, 1982, on
file in the Land Use Planning Office and incorporated
herein by reference.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free
to contact this office.
