Flanigan 7243 Estrella de Mar Carlsbad, CA 92008 *. SUBJECT: Administrative Variance No. 82-1, Request to reduce sideyard setback from 10' to 6';'frontyard setback from 20' to 12'; erect 6' wall in frontyard setback. Dear Mrs. Flanigan, The Planning Director has completed a review of your application for an Administrative Variance at 7243 Estrella de Mar. 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, APPROVES this request based on the following findings and conditions: . .. 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 unusual lot shape precludes further development of the lot in any area other than the requested location. 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 pr0perty.i.n question because: other properties in the area were developed under county reQulations which permitted smaller, setbacks. The majority of dwellings on the street have lo'.- 15' front setbacks. Denial of this request would prevent the applicant from enjoying- the same rights to a smaller setback requirement that other property owners now possess. 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 other properties on the same street are utilizing similar setbacks as requested and which have had no detrimental affect on the public welfare nor have been materially detrimental to neighboring properties. 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 lowmedium density designation of the General Plan. Cond it ions Approval is granted for AV-82-1, as shown on Exhibit A, dated April 6, 1982 , on file in the Planning Department and incorporated herein by reference.. . Additional Conditions (if any) 1. 'The 35' stucco wall located in the frontyard setback must not exceed a maximumheight of 42". / You have the right to appeal this decision to the Planning Commission within 10 days of receipt of this letter.
