SET BACK JUSTIFICATION
SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES:
Contractor deceived 'applicant by advising applicant, that he
(contractor) had acquired the necessary permits with the city of La

contact contractor have proven futile over pst several months in an
attempt to rectify problem.
SIZE•
(See drawings & photos). Not detrimental to the health, safety and
general welfare of the community or associated property in the
area.
SHAPE.
(See drawings & photos). Standard in appearance and. shape and
conforms to standard patio construction design and techniques.
TOPOGRAPHY:
(See drawings & photos). Patio was build on cement slab and
anchored by steel stays bolted to 4 x 4 posts.
LOCATION•
(See drawings & photos). - Patio is detached from home and is
attractively placed within the boundaries of the property, and is
barely visible from the street (Fred Waring). The patio in no way
presents an "eye sore" to the community or a "Hazard". Numerous
home owners (neighbors) have complimented me on the attractiveness
of the patio sense it was constructed including, employee., of
Building & Safety.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: JANUARY 28, 1992
PROJECT: SETBACK ADJUSTMENT 92-090 '
REQUEST: TO ADJUST REAR SETBACK OF 10-FEET TO 2-FEET FOR A
PATIO COVER
APPLICANT: THOMAS J. PLOUFFE'
LOCATION: 78-820.:SONESTA WAY (APN 604-151-017)
LOT 28 TRACT 23269
BACKGROUND:
1. A wood lattice patio (16-feet x 12-feet) was constructed
in•the rear setback area of Lot 28, tract 23269. At the
time of construction the builder of the patio advised the
owner of the property that no permits are necessary and
setback regulations do not need to. be complied with which
was incorrect.
2. Setback regulations for structures in' rear yards is
10-feet. In addition, accessory structures such as
patios must be at least '10-feet from the primary
structure, the house.
3. A patio is defined as a structure since it has a fixed
foundation and can be.enclosed fairly easily.
4. At present the patio is 192 square feet -in size with the
posts approximately 1 1/2-feet from the rear property
line with an overhang of .approximately 12-inches•.. The
structure is approximately 8-feet 7-inches in height and
higher than the adjacent perimeter block wall which backs
up to Fred Waring Drive.
5. The La Quinta Zoning Regulations•states that the Planning
Director approve. or disapprove setback adjustments.
However, in this case the Planning Director has forwarded
this application to the Planning Commission since the
policy for Director approval is a maximum 20o deviation.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the covered patio (from overhang) be
allowed to located 5-feet from the rear property line. This
{ appears to be feasible, and will only require new footings and
concrete if the owner wishes to extend the patio.
STAFFRPT. .72 CS - -
It should be noted that this lot backs up to Fred, Waring Drive,
therefore there is no immediate neighbor living behind this
lot. The granting of this setback adjustment would, not be
detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare- of the
surrounding neighbors and the rest of the community.
NOTE: The above recommendation would necessitate moving the
patio cover back approximately 4 1/2-feet from its existing
position`.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
By. -Minute Motion approve a. 5-foot rear, setback, from overhang
for a patio cover on Lot 8, Tract 23269
