SUBSECT: ADMINISTRATIVE VARIANCE NO. 88-4 - Request for the
construction of a 48 square foot room addition that
would encroach three feet into the front yard setback.
Dear Robert :
.The Planning Director has completed a review of your application for an administrative variance at 2005 Cordoba Place. After careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding this request, the Planning Director has determined that the four findings required for granting an administrative variance can be made and, therefore, APPROVES this request based on the following findings and conditions.
Findinas:
1.
2.
3.
There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the property or to the intended use
that do not apply generally to the other property or class of use in the same vicinity and zone because the house is
oriented with the front yard setback on the outside bulb of
a knuckle; whereas the house across the street is in the
same location but has been oriented sideways and only
maintains approximately a 12 foot setback from Cordoba
Place.
The requested variance is 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 because many other homes in the
vicinity were also constructed with the roofline extending
four feet from the house with decorative posts making a
porchlike structure. Many of these structures have been removed to enlarge the living rooms.
The granting of this variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the
Page 2
property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which
the property is located because the room addition will
enhance the front of the house by following the existing
roofline. The slight encroachment into the front yard
setback will not impede sight distance or encroach into the right-of-way. There are other homes in the area that are
situated closer to the street.
4. The granting of this variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive General Plan because the room addition is only
48 square feet so density will not be increased, nor will
any additional public facilities be needed.
Conditions:
1) Approval is granted for AV 88-4, as shown on Exhibit IIA1',
dated January 14, 1988, on file in the Planning Department
and incorporated herein by reference.
You have the right to appeal this decision to the Planning
Commission within ten days of receipt of this letter. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to call this office.
CITY. OF CARLSBAD
