A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF POWAY, CALIFORNIA
APPROVING VARIANCE 04-06CF
ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NUMBER 323-340-42
WHEREAS, Variance 04-06CF, submitted by Daniel and Deanna Oulela,
Applicants, requests approval of a Variance to allow a 1,950-square-foot, single-family
residence to observe a 16-foot rear yard setback and 5-foot side yard setbacks when a
20-foot rear yard setback is required and a minimum 5-foot and 10-foot side yard
setback are required in the zone. The subject property is located at 13434 Frey Court
in the Residential Single-Family 7 (RS-7) zone; and
WHEREAS, on June 1, 2004, the City Council held a duly advertised public
hearing to solicit comments from the public, both pro and con, relative to this
application.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Poway, as follows:
Section 1: The proposed project is Categorically Exempt as a Class 5 Categorical
Exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section
15305 of the CEQA Guidelines, in that the project involves a minor alteration in land
use limitations on a developed single-family property.
Section 2: The findings, in accordance with Section 17.50.050 of the Poway Municipal
Code, to approve Variance 04-06CF, to allow a 16-foot rear yard setback rather than
the required 20-foot minimum setback and to allow both of the side yard setbacks to be
5 feet when a 5-foot and 10-foot minimum side yard setback is required for a new
single-family residence that is to be constructed on a lot located at 13434 Frey Court
within the Residential Single-Family 7 zone, as shown on the site plan dated May 3,
2004, are made as follows:
A. That there are special circumstances applicable to the property and because of
this the strict application of the Zoning Code deprives the property of privileges
enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity with the identical zoning classification.
The special circumstances include the fact that the subject lot is narrow along
the frontage thereby making it difficult to site a single-story home on the site that
complies with setback standards; and,
B. Granting the Variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right enjoyed by other property owners in the same vicinity
and not afforded to the property for which the Variance is sought because the
other lots in the area are developed with single-family homes and Variance 04-
Resolution No. P-04-39
Page 2
03CF was recently approved for a similar Variance request on the adjacent
property; and,
C. Granting the Variance would not be materially detrimental to the public health,
safety, or welfare in the vicinity in that the proposed residence is replacing a
home that was destroyed in the Cedar Fire; and,
D. Granting the Variance does not constitute a special privilege that is inconsistent
with the limitation upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in that single-
family residences exist on other nearby lots in the RS-7 zone; and,
E. Granting the Variance would not allow a use or activity not otherwise expressly
authorized by the RS-7 zone because single-family residences are a permitted
use; and
F. That the proposed Variance will be compatible with the City's General Plan
because the use is permitted and does not result in a density increase.
Section 3: The City Council hereby approves Variance 04-06CF to allow a 16-foot rear
yard setback rather than the required 20-foot setback and to allow both of the side yard
setbacks to be 5-feet when a 5-foot and 10-foot minimum side yard setback is required
for a new single-family residence that is to be constructed on a lot located at 13434
Frey Court in the RS-7 zone, as shown on the site plan dated May 3, 2004, subject to
the following conditions:
A. Approval of this Variance shall apply only to the subject project and shall not
waive compliance with all sections of the Zoning Code and all other applicable
City Ordinances in effect at the time of Building Permit issuance.
B. Within 30 days of approval the applicant shall submit in writing that all conditions
of approval have been read and understood.
C. Prior to the issuance of a Building Permit:
1. The applicant shall comply with the Uniform Building Code and shall

and building elevation plans, dated May 3, 2004, and conditions of
approval on file in the Development Services Department and the
conditions contained herein.
2. Prior to start of any work within City-held easements or right-of-way, a
Right-of Way Permit shall be obtained from the Engineering Division of
the Development Services Department.
Resolution No. P-04-39

regarding whether School Fees will be required or waived.
