(10,000) minimum lot width from 75 to 72.5 feet for a future 1 ot spl it of a through lot located west of Maria Lane and east of Seaview Way. Dear Mr. Montgomery: The Planning Director has completed a review of your application for an Administrative Variance as described above. 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, amroves this request based on the following findings and conditions. FINDINGS: 1. 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. Parcel 3 of Parcel Map 14467 was created by MS-692 with the intention that future access would be taken off of Maria Lane which is now being completed. The proposed lot split would yield two lots fronting on a public street, with lot widths of 72.5 feet. Although this is a substandard width, this would be preferable since the new lots would not have to use a panhandle to gain access. 2. The requested variance is necessary for the preservation and en a substantial property right possessed by other property in vicinity and zone but which is denied to the property in quest joyment of the same ion since: a. There are some other lots with substandard widths in the adjacent area on Celinda Drive and Sara Way. - " b. All other possible resources for adding five feet have been exhausted. North of the subject property is a greenhouse operation and the land owner has refused to sell a 5 foot strip of his property. South of the subject property on the adjacent lot is a structure close to the property 1 ine and so there is no 5 foot strip of vacant land. 3. The granting of this Variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located because the area is designated single family residential/agricultural R-A-IO. Both lots to be created are in excess of the 10,000 square foot minimum area requirement. There are no other factors, including lot access, which would prevent the two 1 ots from being developed to R-A- 10 standards. 4. The granting of this Variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive general plan because it conforms with the RLM 0-4 dwelling units per acre designation. CONDITIONS: 1. Approval of this Variance does not excuse compliance of all other applicable sections of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. 2. All conditions specified under MS-765 must be completed 3. Approval is granted for AV 88-9, as shown on Exhibit "A", dated October 13, 1988 on file in the Planning Department and incorporated herein by reference. 4. Approval of AV 88-9 is granted subject to the approval of MS-765. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to call this office. City of Carlsbad.
