CASE NAME: SEW RESIDENCE VARIANCE CASE NO: v 02-02 WHEREAS, Ron Serab, "Developer/Owner," has filed a verified application with the City of Carlsbad regarding property described as Lot 3 of Carlsbad Tract 89-14, in the City of Carlsbad, County of San Diego, according to Map No. 12888, filed in the Office of the County Recorder on November 7,1991 ("the Property"); and WHEREAS, said application constitutes a request to reduce the required front yard setback from twenty feet to six inches to accommodate an attached carport; and WHEREAS, said verified application constitutes a request for a Variance as shown on Exhibits "A" - rlBcc dated December 4, 2002, on file in the Carlsbad Planning Department, SERAB RESIDENCE VARIANCE V 02-02 provided by Chapter 21.50 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did on the 4th day of December, 2002, hold a duly noticed public hearing as prescribed by law to consider said request; and WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments, if any, of all persons desiring to be heard, said Commission considered all factors relating to the Variance. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Carlsbad as follows: A) That the above recitations are true and correct. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Planning Commission DENIES SERAB RESIDENCE VARIANCE - V 02-02 based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions: Findinps: 1. 2. 3. 4. That special circumstances do not apply to the subject property in that the 12,231 square foot lot size and configuration are similar to the surrounding single family lots and the square footage exceeds the minimum 7,500 square foot lot size of the underlying zone as well as the 10,000 square foot lot size required of panhandle lots; the site is flat and contains no slopes that might constrain the buildable proportion of the property or potential parking areas; no significant easements or other encumbrances exist on the property; and the single family residential property is surrounded by other single family properties with the same One Family Residential (€2-1) zoning designation; That the variance is not 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 property in question in that adequate covered parking space, commensurate with residential use and similar to surrounding properties, currently exists on the site, and sufficient open area exists on the lot to facilitate uncovered parking within the areas permitted by the Carlsbad Municipal Code without the need for a variance. That the granting of such variance will be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and zone in which the property is located, in that the requested variance would permit the reduction of a substantial portion of a front yard setback and would allow a structure to be constructed nine inches from the front property line. Setbacks are necessary to provide proper building separation to ensure the provision of light and air, to prevent the spread of fire, and to provide adequate yards and open space on residential lots. That the granting of the variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive general plan in that there are no goals, policies, or objectives that directly relate to the proposed variance and no adverse impact on the general plan would result.
