ADMINISTRATIVE VARIANCE NO. 82-5 -REQUEST TO REDUCE THE REAR
YARD SETBACK FROM 20 FEET TO 7 FEET ON PROPERTY AT 4460 HIGHLAND
DRIVE.
The Land Use Planning Manager has completed a review of your
application for an Administrative Variance at 4460 Highland
Drive. 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:
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 previous
structure on the site did not conform to the required
setback. Since the construction you propose will utilize
the original foundation and since the property abutting
yours to the rear is unbuildable, extraordinary
circumstances exist.
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 the dwelling is
to be situated on the highest point of the lot to maximize
the great view potential. The vast majority of the
residences along this ridge have been constructed similarly,
at the top of the ridge. Yours is the only property in the
vicinity with the property line so close to the top of the
ridge.

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 it will not interfere with
view corridors and light and air circulation as the lot
behind yours is unbuildable in this area.
4. The granting of this variance will not adversely affect
the comprehensive general plan because the granting of this
variance will not change or affect the land use or any
element of the general plan.
Condition
Approval is granted for AV 82-5, as shown on Exhibit "A",
11 B", and 11C11 , dated December 13, 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.
