RE: ADMINISTRATIVE VARIANCE
1200 ELM AVENUE
CARLSBAD, CA 92008-1989
(619) 438-5591
Staff has reviewed your application for an administrative
variance and after careful consideration has determined that
your request cannot be supported.
The information provided on your site plan has been
incorrect/incomplete from the first submittal. At the first
plan check, the submitted plans did not contain lot dimensions
and you were asked to provide a sideyard setback of 10% of the
lot width. You indicated this would be covered by a 8' -9'
setback, which you wrote on the plans.
After the project was red tagged by the Building Department, I
spoke with Marty Orenyak, the Building and Planning Director. I
explained to him that you would need to obtain an administrative
variance to complete the structure according to your plans.
This would mean an encroachment into the setback of 1' -2'.
The last set of plans submitted to the Land Use Planning Office
indicate a sideyard setback of 2.5', 3.25', and 5.5'. This is a
significant difference from the distance of 8' -9' which you
originally inqicated.
Another issue staff has considered is the fact that the
Engineering Department feels the present slope is unstable and
unable to support the structure. In addition, although the
present right-of-way on Hillside Drive is 50', the Engineering
Department has indicated the street will eventually be widened
to a 60' width. This would preclude the construction of the
garage at the requested location.

For these reasons, staff cannot support your request for an
administrative variance. There are two options available to
you. One is to go ahead with a denial and then appeal to the
Planning Commission for a decision. The other option is to
submit a request for a refund. Staff regrets any inconvenience
this may cause, however, this situation would not have occured
if your initial application had contained accurate information.
If I can help you in any way or answer any questions please feel
free to give me a call.
