b. Minor Variance. Should the project encroach further into setback{s) than the existing
residence, then pursuant to CMC Chapter 21.50, a setback reduction that does not exceed 75
percent requires a minor variance.
c. Nonconforming Construction Permit. The existing single-family residence no longer conforms
to the current R-1 zoning requirements and development standards. According to CMC
Section 21.48.050(A), nonconforming residences may be altered and expanded as long as the
project does not result in additional structural nonconformity or increase the degree of
existing nonconformity and meets the findings in CMC Section 21.48.080.
**The applications will require action by the Planning Commission. Although the Planning
Commission's action is final, the project is appealable to the City Council, as well as the Coastal
Commission per CMC Section 21.201.130.A.

Land Development Engineering:
Land Development Engineering Division staff has completed a preliminary review of the above-referenced
project. Prior to formal application submittal the following items must be adequately resolved/addressed:
1. A grading plan and permit may be required depending on the extent of the proposed work. It Is
currently unclear based on the Information on the provided plans if a grading plan and permit will be
required.
2. Two copies of the preliminary title report dated within 6 months of the discretionary application will
be required.
3. A completed cit/s Storm Water Standard Questionnaire, E-34 Form will be required as part of the
discretionary application. Currently, it is unknown if your project Is subject to the "Standard" Project
requirements or "Priority Development Project" requirements. If this project qualifies as a "Standard"
project, a completed city's Standard Project Requirement Checklist, E-36 Form will be required as part
of the discretionary application. If this project qualifies as a "Priority Development Project", then a
preliminary Storm Water Quality Management Plan per the city's SWQMP template, E-3S Form, will
be required as part of the discretionary application. All city forms are available on the city's website.
4. Based on Map No. 2696, there is an existing 4-ft wide public drainage easement along the southerly
property line which shall be shown and labeled on the site plan. Furthermore, there Is an existing 15-
inch RCP storm drain pipe within the easement that shall be shown and labeled on the site plan. The
storm drain pipe shall be protected in place.
5. It appears portions of the private wall and other structures are within the existing 4-ft wide public
drainage easement and will require an Encroachment Agreement.
6. It is unclear how part of the legal description that is "a portion of Lot 'H' of Map No. 823" makes up a
part of the lot as shown since Map No. 2696, which created lot 8, shows the lot with the exact
dimensions and bearings as shown on the provided plans. It Is suggested a Certificate of Compliance
be processed with the city and recorded to clean up the legal description of the property.
7. Provide on the title sheet, a breakdown of the proposed and existing impervious areas including
impervious areas to be removed and replaced.
8. Label on the site plan all the existing frontage improvements including the water main on Shore Drive.
