Carlsbad, CA 92008
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR PERMISSION TO PARK A RECREATIONAL VEHICLE
IN THE FRONT YARD SETBACK AT 4870 SEVILLA WAY
The Planning Director has completed a review of your request to park an 8' wide,
20' long boat in your front yard setback, pursuant to section 21.44.060 of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code. After careful consideration of the circumstances
surrounding this request, the Planning Director has determined that the findings
required for allowing the parking of a recreational vehicle in the front yard setback
can be made and therefore APPROVES this request based on the following findings.
Findinns:
1. That parking in or access to the side yard would require structural alteration to
the existing residence or would require the removal of significant or unique
landscaping in that both side yards are 7' wide, which does not allow for an 8'
wide boat.
2. That parking in or access to the side or rear yard would require extensive
grading in that the property slopes upward at the sides and rear of the property.
3. That allowing the recreational vehicle in the front yard will not interfere with
traffic on the street or sidewalk or encroach into the street and utility right of
way or interfere with visibility to or from any street in that there is adequate site
distance and the lot in question is an interior lot.
