SUBTErn: mequest for a reduced front yard
setback to 15’ and to eliminate the required on site guest parking.
Dear Mr. Pfeiffer:
The Planning Director has completed a review of your application for an Administrative
Variance at 6711 Cantil Street. 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.
Finding:
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 of an error during construction
placing the building setback at 15’ versus 20’.
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 the existing structure was
erroneously built with a reduced front yard setback which prohibits the owner from
meeting the requirements, of the Planned Development Ordinance, for the
condominium conversion of the duplex. Since the front yard setback is reduced, the
allowance for tandem parking for the additional guest parking cannot be met.
Adequate on street parking is available for guest parking to fulfill this requirement.
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 structure is located on a key lot. On the adjacent
corner lot, the structure observes a 10 foot sideyard setback. The adjacent interior
lot structure observes a 20 foot setback. The subject properties structure falls on
a string line formed by the two adjacent buildings and thus is not visually
obtrusive.Adequate on street parking is available for guest parking because of the
configuration of adjacent comer lot that does not have a driveway which does not
access Cantil Street which allows for parking space.

4. The granting of this variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive General
Plan because the existing site is in conformance with the density range of the Land
Use Element.
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 (619) 438-1161, extension 4325.
