SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR PERMISSION TO PARK A RECREATIONAL VEHICLE
IN THE FRONT YARD SETBACK AT 3571 DONNA DRIVE '
The Planning Director has completed a review of your request to park a recreational
vehicle 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.
Findings:
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 the south side yard is inaccessible due to the placement of the existing single
family residence and parking in the north side yard would require the removal of
significant mature landscaping.
2. That allowing the recreational vehicle in the front yard setback 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 the recreational vehicle will be
parked as far behind the property line as possible and will be substantially screened
behind an existing retaining wall and landsca'ping.
