SUBJECT: DETERMINATION - SIDEYARD SETBACK
Dear Mr. Stark:
I have reviewed your two site plans on Tierra del Oro, lots identified as book
210, page 202, lot 19 & 20. Both of these lots are at the end of a cul-de-sac
with a depth that is relatively deep in relation with the width. . The width of
. these lots is 51.16 feet. The lots are irregularly shaped with a 90 bend.
By Code, sideyard setbacks must be 10% of the lot width but shall not be less
than 5' nor greater than 10'. Generally the lot width on the subject two lots
is 51.77 feet. However, because lot width is measured at the arch of the front
yard setback line which in this case is within the smaller portion of the end of
the lot, the required sideyard setback is closer to.10'. Therefore, an incon-
sistency has been created by applying the zone requirements strictly to these
two lots.
However, the R-1 Zone provides that in the event special circumstances exist, such
as irregularly shaped lots, such as those that front on cul-de-sacs, the Director
of Planning may approve the application of a reduced side yard adjacent to a
reduced side yard, subject to the fact that there will be 10 feet between buildings.
I have reviewed the distance between lot 19 and the adjacent lot to the south and
find that it also has a reduced side yard of 5' and therefore a 5' setback on lot
19 will still maintain the 10' requirement. Obviously the distance between
building on lot 19 & 20, both being new developments would be at least 10'. There
is no development to the north since this property is owned by SDG&E and not to be
developed for residential use.
I therefore find that the required side yards of lot 19 & 20 of page 020, book
210 need not be less than 5.1 feet. Your building permits will be processed based
on this determination. -
Sincerely,
ING DIRECTOR ING DIRECTOR
