SUBJECT: Administrative Variance No. AV 86-17 - Request to allow
a 12 foot encroachment for a patio cover into the
required 19 foot rearyard setback
Dear Mr. & Mrs. BOX:
On December 16, 1986, the Planning Director tentatively denied
your application for an administrative variance at 2405 Sonora
Court. After further 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, aggroves this request based
on the following conditions:
Findings:
1.
2.
3.
There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the property or to the intended use
that do no apply generally to the other property or class of
use in the same vicinity and zone because the lot is
irregularly shaped, and this irregularity is significant
enough to be considered exceptional.
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 was denied
to the property in question because the natural slope of the
land caused a portion of the house to be constructed closer
to the rear property line, so that it is not possible to
shade the main portion of rear yard without encroachment
into the setback.
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, although the amount of
intrusion is significant, a letter of support for this
variance, from the property owner to the rear, is on file with the City.

4. The granting of this variance will not adversely affect the
comprehensive General Plan because no increase in density is
being requested.
Conditions:
1. Approval is granted for AV 86-1 7, as shown on Exhibit "A"
dated October 14, 1986, on file in the Planning Department
and incorporated herein by reference.
You have the right to appeal this decision to the Planning
Commission within ten days of receipt of this letter. If you
have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to
call this office.
