The project consists of a small addition to the master bedroom of an existing single family home. The

proposed addition will encroach into the required rear yard setback of fifteen feet. The project requires a

public hearing by the Zoning Administrator for the following entitlement:

ZONING ADMINISTRATOR SPECIAL PERMIT to reduce the required rear yard setback from fifteen

(15) feet to not less than twelve (12) feet on 0.15± developed acres in the Standard Single Family,

Executive Airport Overlay (R-1-EA-4) zone.

Approved the Special Permit subject to conditions

and based on Findings of Fact.

The request is to divide one (1) existing vacant residential parcel into two (2) parcels, in order to allow

for the development of a duplex on each parcel. The corner parcel will be less than the standard of 100

feet in length. (The parcels will meet area and width standards).

A fence that is over four feet high (unless it is made of wrought iron), is not allowed in the front yard

setback area. The front yard of a corner lot is defined by the Zoning Code as the narrower of the two

street frontages (Taft Street), no matter which street the front entrance of the residence faces (La Rosa

Road). The proposed fence will be at least 12 feet back from Taft Street.

The project requires a public hearing by the Zoning Administrator for the following entitlements:.

1.  ZONING ADMINISTRATOR TENTATIVE MAP to subdivide one (1) parcel into two (2) parcels on

0.27± vacant acres in the Multi-Family, (R-2B) zone.

2.  SUBDIVISION MODIFICATION to create a corner lot of less than 100 feet in length.

3.  ZONING ADMINISTRATOR VARIANCE to allow a fence up to six feet high in the front yard

setback of a corner lot on 0.27± vacant acres in the Multi-Family, (R-2B) zone.

The property has previously received approval for a multi-family use of four (4) units consisting of two

duplex structures on one parcel. (Planning Director's Plan Review file number P04-197). The applicant

now intends to divide the property into two parcels, allowing for each duplex to be on separate parcels.

Approved the Tentative Map and Subdivision Modification and Variance subject

to conditions and based on Findings of Fact.

A Second Residential Unit is allowed by right in the Standard Single Family (R-1) zone if it complies

with development standards. Since this proposed Second Unit does not meet the standard required

setbacks from the rear and side property lines, the project will require a public hearing by the Zoning

Administrator for the following entitlement:

ZONING ADMINISTRATOR SPECIAL PERMIT to allow a Second Residential Unit that does not meet

both the required 15 foot rear (south) yard setback (at 4'-7"), and the 5 foot left side interior (east) side

yard setback (at 1'-1") on 0.10± developed acres in the Standard Single Family (R-1) zone.

This is an existing two story accessory structure that is proposed to be converted to a Second

Residential Unit. The residence and an unenclosed covered patio will be on the second floor. The first

floor will contain a garage, a bathroom, and a utility-laundry room.

Withdrawn from the agenda.

Project will be re-noticed for a Planning Commission Hearing.
