Home My WebLink AboutV 362; Palomar Ventures; Variance (V)i STAFF REPORT a DATE : August 22, 1984 To : Planning Commission FROM: Land Use Planning Office SUBJECT: V-362 - PALOMAR VENTURES - Request for approval of a variance to reduce a portion of the frontyard setback from 50 feet to 36 feet to allow for the construction of two research and development buildings on the northwest corner of Palomar Airport Road and Avenida Encinas in the P-M-Q zone. I. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission ADOPT Resolution No. 2338 APPROVING V-362 based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. I1 . DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND This project was previously considered at the July 25, 1984 Planning Commission meeting. At that meeting the Commission approved a site development plan for the construction of two research and development buildings on this site. The Commission also approved a variance to permit the reduction of the setback adjacent to Palomar Airport Road from 50 feet to 2 feet. At that meeting the applicant requested an additional variance to reduce a portion of the setback along Avenida Encinas from 50 feet to 36 feet as shown on Exhibit "X" . This setback reduction would reduce the landscape area adjacent to Avenida Encinas from 35 feet to 21 feet at its narrowest portion. The applicant is requesting this variance to allow for the widening of Avenida Encinas to accommodate a left turn pocket without necessitating a redesign of this project. The commission felt that this was a reasonable request and directed staff to prepare documents for approval of a setback variance along Avenida Encinas as shown on Exhibit "X". Staff believes that the findings required for the granting of this variance can be made for a number of reasons. There are exceptional circumstances applicable to this property that do not apply to other properties in the vicinity because of the unusual alignment of Avenida Encinas and the need for a left turn pocket neccessitates additional right-of-way beyond what would normally be required in this area. This is the only property that is being required to dedicate this amount of extra right-of-way in this area. Due to the unusual circumstances involved, approval of this variance will not establish an undesirable precedent that could adversely impact the General Plan or adjacent properties. In conclusion staff believes that the four findings necessary for the granting of a variance can be made and recommends approval of V-362 as shown on Exhibit "X". 111.
