P-1{C) Pagel of2 Revised02/13 4 / JUSTIFICATION FOR VARIANCE By law a Variance may be approved only if certain facts are found to exist. Please read these requirements carefully and explain how the proposed project meets each of these facts. Use additional sheets if necessary. 1. Explain what special circumstances are applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, whereby the strict application of the zoning ordinance deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification: Explain why the granting of the variance does not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is located and is subject to any conditions necessary to assure compliance with this finding: 3. Explain why the granting of the variance does not authorize a use or activity which is not otherwise expressly authorized by the zone regulation governing the subject property: Explain why the granting of the variance is consistent with the general purpose and intent of the General Plan and any applicable specific or IVIaster Plans: If located within the coastal zone, explain why the variance is consistent with and implements the requirements of the certified local coastal program and that the variance does not reduce or in any manner adversely affect the protection of coastal resources. P-4 Page 4 of 4 Revised 12/13 Justification for Variance 1. The necessity for the wall is due to various circumstances. • High car traffic with excessive speeds of 50 mph, in a 25 mph zone. Concern for daughter going into street and getting hit by car. • Was unaware of high car traffic as a new home buyer in this area and wall acts as a noise barrier. • High pedestrian traffic with vagrants and migrant workers constantly walking by property. • High Crime in the area. My car and two other neighbors were just broken into Nov. 3'^"'. Can provide police report if needed. Beating of migrant workers on the corner of Kelly dr. and El Camino about a month ago. My house is 5 houses down from the corner. • Need for privacy. 2. Granting of this variance does constitute special privileges for the various reasons stated below: • Neighbor next to me has a hedge that is higher than my fence. There are other 6' high fences and hedges in the surrounding area. • Fence is needed for the above reasons: high crime, high traffic, noise. 3. Current zoning states that a 6' fence in the front yard would need a 20' setback. If I did just that I would not be able to enjoy my enclosed front yard, as I would have about 15' left to the house. This gives me very little of my front yard to use. 4. Certain areas in Carlsbad have 6' high fences in the front yard, especially in high traffic areas like my house 5. Due to the fact that there is a 6' fence on 3 side of the house, I would reasonably assume there would be no adverse effects to coastal resources. Proiect Description P-l(B) The project consists of a gray color 6' CMU wall at the front entrance of the house, with a cedar gate. The reason for the wall was due to a couple of factors. Recent crime in the area (see variance justification form) Privacy from heavy car and pedestrian traffic (see variance justification form) Containment for young child wandering into street Noise barrier due to heavy car traffic at high speeds, cars are constantly going in excess of 50 mph City of Carlsbad Faraday Center Faraday Cashiering 001 1501601-2 01/16/2015 149 Fri, Jan 16, 2015 12:14 PM Receipt Ref Nbr: R1501601-2/0016 PERMITS - PERMITS Tran Ref Nbr: 150150102 0016 0017 Trans/Rcpt#: R0106551 SET #: AVI50001 Amount: 1 @ $763.74 Item Subtotal: $763.74 Item Total: $763.74 1 ITEM(S) TOTAL: $763.74 Credit Card (Auth# 081415) $763.74 Total Received: $763.74 Have a nice day! *******)C******CUSTOMER COPY************* City of Carlsbad 1635 Faraday Avenue Carlsbad CA 92008 Applicant: MAHON IAN Description AV150001 4 82 6 KELLY DR CBAD Amount 763.74 Receipt Number: R0106651 Transaction Date: 01/16/2015 Transaction ID: R0106651 Pay Type Method Description Amount Payment Credit Crd VISA 763.74 Transaction Amount: 763.74 FILE City of Carlsbad NOTICE OF REQUEST FOR ADMINISTRATIVE VARIANCE Notice is hereby given that an administrative variance has been applied for to allow an over height wall (six foot tall) to be located within the front yard setback on property generally located at 4826 Kelly Drive Carlsbad, California, and more particularly described as: Lot 23 of Laguna Riviera Unit No. 1, in the City of Carlsbad, County of San Diego, State of California, according to Map thereof No. 5871, filed in the Office of the County Recorder of San Diego County, April 21,1967 If you have any objections to the granting of this variance or wish to have an administrative hearing to discuss the requested variance, please notify the Planning Division, 1635 Faraday Avenue, Carlsbad, California 92008, in writing within 10 calendar days of the date of this notice.

After careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding this request, the City Planner has determined that the five findings required for granting an Administrative Variance CANNOT be made and therefore, DENIES this request based on the following fi ndings. Findings; 1. There ARE NOT special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings applicable to the property, and the strict application of the zoning ordinance DOES NOT deprive such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification in that the front yard is sufficient in size to enable a six foot tall wall to be built outside the front yard setback. Furthermore, the wall which is for decorative, noise attenuation or security purposes does not constitute relief from unusual difficulties or unnecessary hardships associated with the property in question in that the property is of average size and shape and is relatively flat with no physical constraints such as slopes. 2. The requested variance WOULD constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is located in that no other property in the vicinity has an approved wall or fence over 42 inches in height within the front yard setback. Although, there are other walls exceeding the maximum allowed height in a front yard setback within the same neighborhood, none of these property owners possess variances for such wails. Therefore, none of these property owners have been granted a special privilege for their non-conforming walls. 3. The granting of this variance WOULD authorize a use or activity which is not otherwise expressly authorized by the zone regulation governing the subject property in that the subject property is designated R-l - One Family Residential Zone and walls as permitted by the Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC) are a typical component of residentially zoned areas. The proposed wall is located within the front yard setback and Is not permitted per CMC 21.46.130 which restricts wall helglit to a maximum of 42 Inches within the front yard setback.

Unfortunately, all of the necessary findings required for granting a variance to allow a six foot tall wall located within the required front yard setback for the property located at 4826 Kelly Drive cannot be made. The justifications provided by the applicant for two of the required variance findings (finding 1 & 2) are not the facts necessary to grant such a variance. For this reason, staff does not support the variance. Discussion/Planning Issues with two ofthe required findings: Finding No. 1 - Special Circumstances: There are no special circumstances associated with the property. The property is similar in shape, size and topography to other properties in the same vicinity and zone. The front yard is sufficient in size (depth) to enable the wall to be built outside of the front yard setback and provide privacy and noise attenuation from vehicles. Furthermore, the wall which is for noise attenuation, safety and/or security purposes does not constitute relief from unusual difficulties or unnecessary hardships associated with the project site. Finding No. 2 - Special Privilege: Although, there are other fences/walls exceeding the maximum allowed height permitted in a front yard setback on properties within the same vicinity and zone, none of these property owners possess variances for such fences/walls nor have complaints been filed with the City's Code Enforcement Division regarding such over height fences/walls. Therefore, the property in question is not being denied a special privilege that is possessed by other properties in the same vicinity and zone. 2. Staff also has concerns with the height of the wall adjacent to the driveway as it interferes with sight visibility of vehicles and pedestrians while backing out across the sidewalk into the street (refer to Engineering issue No. 6 below). 3. Please call staff to discuss the applicant's options regarding the processing of this administrative variance application. Engineering: Comments: 1. Map 5871 dedicated a 42' half street width for Kelly Drive. 2. DWG 157-4 for the improvement of Kelly Drive shows the face of curb 32' from centeriine and an 8' parkway. 3. The site plan submitted by the applicant shows the correct 42' half street width but incorrectly shows the distance from centeriine to the face of curb as 35' and a 7' parkway. 4. The site plan submitted by the applicant shows the existing wall located 10' behind the face of curb. A field measurement done on Feb. 4, 2015 indicated that the wall is approximately 9' behind the face of curb. AV 15-01 - MAHON RESIDENCE February 9, 2015 Page 3 5. The site is located on a straight portion of Kelly Drive and presents no sight distance restriction for vehicles traveling on Kelly Drive. Issues: 6. The 6' height of the wall adjacent to the driveway restricts the sight visibility of vehicles backing across the sidewalk and into the street. 7. The applicant should field verify all dimensions shown to confirm the following: the 34' half street width, the 8' parkway, a 9' distance from face of curb to the existing wall and a dimension of 1' from the right of way to the existing wall. FILE Carlsbad May 19, 2015 lan Mahon 4826 Kelly Drive Carlsbad, CA 92008 SUBJECT: AV 15-01 - MAHON RESIDENCE The City Planner has completed a review of your application for an Administrative Variance, AV 15-01 - MAHON RESIDENCE at 4826 Kelly Drive. After careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding this request, the City Planner has determined that the five findings required for granting an Administrative Variance CANNOT be made and therefore, DENIES this request based on the following findings. Findings: 1. There ARE NOT special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings applicable to the property, and the strict application of the zoning ordinance DOES NOT deprive such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification in that the front yard is suffident in size to enable a six foot tall wall to be built outside the front yard setback. Furthermore, the wall which is for decorative, noise attenuation or security purposes does not constitute relief from unusual difficulties or unnecessary hardships associated with the property in question in that the property is of average size and shape and is relatively flat with no physical constraints such as slopes. 2. The requested variance WOULD constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is located in that no other property in the vicinity has an approved wall or fence over 42 Inches in height within the front yard setback. Although, there are other walls exceeding the maximum allowed height in a front yard setback within the same neighborhood, none of these property owners possess variances for such walls. Therefore, none of these property owners have been granted a special privilege for their non-conforming walls. 3. The granting of this variance WOULD authorize a use or activity which is not otherwise expressly authorized by the zone regulation governing the subject property in that the subject property is designated R-l - One Family Residential Zone and walls as permitted by the Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC) are a typical component of residentially zoned areas. The proposed wall is located within the front yard setback and is not permitted per CMC 21.46.130 which restricts wall height to a maximum of 42 inches within the front yard setback.

The granting of this vMitftfe ll/lflti adx^rsely affect the general purpose and intent ofthe general plan, in that the subject property is designated Residential Low-Medium (RLM) General Plan Land Use designation and although walls are a typical component of residentially designated areas, the subject wall is not consistent with development of single family neighborhoods and does not preserve the neighborhood atmosphere and identity ofthe existing residential area. 5. The granting of this variance WOULD BE consistent with the general purpose and intent of the certified local coastal program and WOULD NOT reduce or in any manner adversely affect the requirements for protection of coastal resources in that it would not have any impact on sensitive environmental resources. This decision may be appealed by you or any member of the public to the Planning Commission within ten days of receipt of this letter.
