Subject: Minor Adjustment 98-455 (78-640 Castle Pines Drive)
Dear Mr. Hensler:
The Community Development Department has reviewed your request to reduce the rear
yard setback from 15' to 14.07' for Lot 42 of Tract 25389-2 pursuant to Section 9.210.040
(Minor Adjustments) of the Zoning Ordinance. We find that we can approve the request
provided LLA 98-281 is recorded prior to obtaining a building permit from the Building &
Safety Department. Otherwise, this approval shall expire and be of no validity unless
extended by this Department.
After review it was determined that:
1. No impact to the City's General .Plan will occur with this adjustment request
because the Land Use Element designates the site for residential purposes. This
minor adjustment is consistent with the intent and purpose of the Zoning Code
because irregular shaped lots (i.e., flag lots) require creative design solutions
different from rectangular shaped lots based on requirements outlined in Section
9.50.070.
2. The project is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental'Quality
Act (CEQA) under Section 15303(a) which allows construction of single family
residences and related parking facilities.
3. There are special circumstances applicable to the property, including factors such
as size, shape, topography, location or surroundings that justify approval of the
adjustment. The special circumstance is the flag lot creates a difficult buildable
area to construct the new house and two car garage.
4. This minor adjustment will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and general
welfare of this area of the City because the rear yard of the house backs up to an
