Subject: Minor Adjustment 98-456
Dear Mr. Nieto-.
The Community Development Department has reviewed your request to reduce the front
yard setback from 20' to 18' for a covered patio on Lot 12 of S.C.V.L.Q. #19 pursuant to
Section 9.210.040 (Minor Adjustments) of the Zoning Ordinance. We hereby approve the
request provided a building permit is obtained 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.
Shading living room and kitchen areas with the proposed patio cover will reduce
heating and cooling costs and assist the City's goal to conserve natural resources
(Environmental Conservation Element of the General Plan, Chapter 6). This minor
adjustment is consistent with the intent and purpose of the Zoning Code because
irregular shaped corner 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 corner lot has an irregular front yard
creating design difficulty to construct a patio cover for the new single family house.
4. This minor adjustment will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and general
welfare of this area of the City because existing houses in the area have roof

overhangs that encroach into designated front yard setback areas. The new
building structure is designed to comply with current building and fire safety code-
requirements.
Please feel free to contact me at 777-7067, should you have any questions.
Very truly yours,
