SUBJECT: ADMINISTRATIVE VARIANCE NO. 87-4 - REQUEST FOR PARKING
IN THE FRONT YARD SETBACK IIJ THE BEACH AREA OVERLAY AT
3931 GARFIELD STREET.
Dear Ms. James:
The Planning Director has completed a review of your application
for an administrative variance at 3931 Garfield Street. After
careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding this
request, the Planning Director has determined that the four
findings required by State law for granting an administrative variance can be made and, therefore, approves this request based
on the following findings and conditions:
Findings:
1.- There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances
applicable to the property that do not apply generally
to other property in the same vicinity and zone. The
existing structure does not allow room for parking
outside of the required setback area.
2. The requested variance is necessary for the preserva-
tion 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. The substantial property right enjoyed by the property
is the right to’ a residential dwelling unit and its
expansion within reasonable setbacks. Granting of the
variance will allow this to happen.
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 is the
existing situation in the neighborhood. The homes
originally constructed along Garfield were one car garage units. Many of these still exist.

Elements or other elements of the General Plan as the
