ACTION DATE: August 8, 1995
SUBJECT: Variance 9S-OS, Standard Pacific of San Diego, Applicant: A
request for an eight-foot encroachment into a required twenty-
foot side yard setback for the construction of a new home on
Lot 60 of The Grove - located in the RR-C zone,
APN: 278-462-38
BACKGROUND
The plotting for Lot 60 in The Grove was originally approved under a previous
development review. Over time the 720 CS Model, which was plotted for this lot
has been discontinued by the builder due to a slackening of buyer interest. The
substitute unit being proposed is the Model 760 which is a larger and wider
model,
FINDINGS
The subject lot backs up to Espola Road, It contains a 50 foot deep landscape
maintenance easement along Espola Road, a noise attenuation wall, a drainage
swale, then a slope up to the graded pad. In total, 110 feet of the rear of the
property are consumed by those elements, out of a lot with an average overall
depth of 300 feet. There are 54 feet of usable graded compacted pad area in the
rear yard, The lot is 123 feet in width at the front setback line. The 760
model is roughly gO feet in width by 70 feet in depth. When placing the house
on this lot, observing the 20 foot minimum side yard setback on the south side,
the house comes to within 12 feet of the property line on the north side yard.

The home on Lot 61, a 745 model, is set back 28 feet from the southerly side
property line, leaving a forty (40) foot clearance between the two homes, This
is consistent with the intent of the twenty-foot side yard setbacks on each lot
because it achieves the same building separation.
The lot is irregular in dimension, increasing in width from front to rear, The
house could be moved back, however, the disadvantage to doing so is that the
usable rear yard area is substantially decreased, thereby reducing the
opportunities for the placement of patios and pools, etc.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The subject project is considered exempt, under the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act, Class 5, Minor Alterations in land Use limitations,
FISCAL IMPACT
None.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF POWAY, CALIFORNIA
APPROVING VARIANCE 95-05
ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NUMBER 278-462-38
WHEREAS, Vari ance 95-05 submitted by Standard Pacific of San Diego,
Applicant, requests the an eight foot encroachment into a required twenty foot
side yard setback for the construction of a new home on Lot 60 of The Groves, in
the RR-C zone; and
WHEREAS, on August 8, 1995, 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, the City Council does hereby resolve as follows:
Section 1: Environmental Findinas:
The City Council finds that Variance 9S-OS is exempt from the provisions
of the California Environmental Quality Act, Categorical Exemption Class
5 and 3, as the project is the construction of a single family residence
and a minor alteration to land use limitations.
Section 2: Findinas:
1. The approved project is consistent with the general plan in that it
proposes the construction of a residence within a site which is
designated for residential use.
2. That there are special circumstances applicable to the property, and
because of this, the strict appl ication of the Zoning Ordinance
deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in
the vicinity under identical zoning classification.
The special circumstances include the fact that the property is
irregularly shaped, has irregular topography, and large portions of
the rear of the lot are unusable to a future resident,
3. That granting the variance or its modification is necessary for the
preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed
by other property in the same vicinity and zoning for which the
variance is sought, in that customers of The Grove are requesting
that the Model 760 be built more frequently. There are none within
any of the nearby lots, Therefore the mix of units is enhanced by
the use of this model, but in order to fit on the lot, a side yard
variance is needed,
4, That granting the variance or its modification will not be
materially detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or
injuriOUS' to the property or improvements in such Vicinity and zone
in which the property is located,

Page 2
5, That the granting of this variance does not constitute a special
privilege inconsistent with the limitation upon other properties in
the vicinity and zone in that the property is located in an area
where although the lots are of similar size, there is some variance
in lot dimension which precipitated a problem in plotting the new
home,
6, That the granting of this variance does not allow the use or
activity which is not otherwise expressly authorized by zoning
development regulations governing the parcel or property in that the
proposed project is the construction of a new single-family home in
the Rural Residential-C zone,
Section 3: Citv Council Decision:
The City Council hereby approves Variance 95-05 subject to the following
conditions:
Within 30 days of approval (1) the applicant shall submit in writing that
all conditions of approval have been read and understood; and (2) the
- property owner shall execute a Covenant on Real Property,
COMPLIANCE WITH THE FOllOWING CONDITIONS IS REQUIRED. COMPLIANCE SHAll BE
APPROVED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF PlANNING SERVICES.
SITE DEVELOPMENT
1. Site shall be developed in accordance with the approved site plans on file
in the Planning Services Department and the conditions contained herein.
2, Revised site plans and building elevations incorporating all conditions of
approval shall be submitted to the Planning Services Department prior to
issuance of building permits,
3. Approval of this request shall not waive compliance with all sections of
the Zoning Ordinance and all other applicable City Ordinances in effect at
the time of building permit issuance.
4, This approval shall become null and void if building permits are not
issued for this project within two years from the date of project
approval,
