Dear Mr. Spanjian:
The Planning Director has completed a review of your application
for an administrative variance for a flag lot on El Fuerte
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 can be made and, therefore, AfPROVES this request based
on the following findings and conditions:
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 pulling the
tennis court back would require a retaining wall raising the
elevation of the court increasing visibility.
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 there are other
properties that have 10 foot high fences surrounding tennis
courts in this area of La Costa.
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 the encroachment will not be
highly visible and will not significantly impact a healthful
and aesthetically pleasing environment.

4. The granting of this variance will not adversely affect the
comprehensive General Plan because the use being proposed is
not in conflict with any of the elements of the General
Plan.
Anyone has the right to appeal this decision to the Planning
commission within ten days of this letter. If you have any
questions regarding this matter, please feel free to call this
office.
CITY OF CARLSBAD
