SUBJECT: AV 98-01 PARK DRIVE CONDOS
The Planning Director has completed a review of your application for an Administrative
Variance, AV 98-01 at 4665 and 4667 Park Drive. 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 therefore,
approves this request based on the following findings and conditions.
Findings:
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 the existing lot configuration.
The lot is configured so that it is approximately 52.67’ wide at the front property line
and 37.52’ wide at the rear property line resulting in a structure that is 38’ wide
along the front elevation and 30’ wide along the rear elevation. Therefore, the
reduced lot width within the rear half of the lot forces the two unit structure forward
toward the front property line thereby reducing the front yard setback to IO’ and
increasing the rear setback to three times greater than the required 8’ setback.
Since the underlying General .Plan designation for the R-W Zone is residential high
density (RH) on lots that are less than 7,500 square feet, reduced front (IO’) and
side yard (4’) setbacks are permitted by the R-W Zone to enable higher density
development.
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 other condominumized
properties along Park Drive and Cove Drive have been approved for similar reasons
with front yard setbacks which are less than the required 20’.
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 project meets or exceeds all of the development
standards required by the Planned Development Ordinance and the underlying R-W
Zone except the reduced front yard setback.

4. The granting of this variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive General
Plan because the two-unit condominium is consistent with the Residential High (RH)
General Plan land useldensity designation and the Residential Waterway (R-W)
implementing zone.

Commission within ten days of receipt of this letter. Appeals must be submitted in
