SUBJECT: AV 99-03 - BEACH KING LOT CONSOLIDATION
The Planning Director has completed a review of your application for an
Administrative Variance, AV 99-03, to reduce the front and rear yard setbacks to
15 feet on property generally located on the north side of the western terminus of
Chinquapin Avenue. 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. 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. Lots 5 and 6 of parcel
map no. 1747 have been required to dedicate land for the construction of a
cul-de-sac bulb for the western terminus of Chinquapin Avenue. The cul-de-
sac bulb is offset to the north requiring a larger than typical amount of
dedication. The two lots have been adjusted to create one lot as the
individual lots would be too small to support a single-family residence. The
remainder of the lot is too shallow to accommodate a home typical of those
planned on the adjacent lots. The lot, because of the consolidation, is twice
as wide as the adjacent thus requiring twice the required rear yard setback as
the adjacent lot. The property is further encumbered by an access easement
granted to the adjacent lot to the west. This lot fronts on Carlsbad Blvd. and
is precluded access from Carlsbad Blvd. The extraordinary circumstances
and conditions created by the dedication of property for public roadways and
access easement justify the modification of the required front yard setback.
2. 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
surrounding properties have unconstrained lots which allow for the
development of reasonable sized homes consistent with the development
standards of the R-3 zone.
3. The granting of this variance would 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 rear yard setback would be
equal or greater than provided if the lots were unconstrained. The front yard
setback reduction would not negatively effect surrounding property values
nor would it impact public safety in that motorists traveling along the street
frontage would continue to have good visibility. In addition, the integrity of
the neighborhood streei scene would not be compromised. The subject
property fronts on a cul-de-sac bulb which places the building farther back
from the street center line than other homes fronting the street, even with
the reduced front yard. Since the subject property's home would still fall
behind the "string line" of homes fronting the linear portion of the street, the
overall effects of the reduced set backs would be minimized.
4. The granting of this variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive
General Plan because the property is land use designated as residential and is
being developed with a residential single-family home.
onditions:
1. All development, including improvements shown on future building permit
submittals, shall be to the satisfaction of the Planning Director and shall be in
substantial conformance with Exhibit "C" dated April 30, 1999 incorporated
herein by reference and on file in the Planning Department.
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. Appeals must be submitted in
writing to the Planning Commission at 2075 Las Palmas Drive in Carlsbad, along
with a payment of $400.00. The filing of such appeal within such time limit shall
stay the effective date of the order of the Planning Director until such time as a
final decision on the appeal is reached. If you have any questions regarding this
matter, please feel free to contact Van Lynch at (760) 438-1 161, extension 4447.
