Dear Mr. Knight:

(TDD) (760).777-1227
The Community Development Department has reviewed your request to reduce the
rear yard setback from '20' to 18.43' for Lot 17 in Tract 23773-5 pursuant to Section
9.210.040 .(Minor Adjustments) .of the Zoning Ordinance. The Department cannot
approve your request because a Plan 2 unit can be placed on this site and there are not
topographic constraints that would necessitate approval of your request.'
Please be advised that Lots 4, 14, and 37 are irregular lots as defined by Section
9.50.070 of. the Zoning Ordinance and do not need Minor Adjustment approval. A
copy of this Code section is attached. This Department has, spoken to your project
engineer.about this matter and it is our understanding that Mr. Soneji is revising Lot
14 insuring a front yard setback of 20 feet.
Please feel free to contact me at 760-777-7067, should you have any questions.
Very truly yours,
JFrRRY ¢lXRMAN

vertical distance from finish grade to an imaginary plane above the building site. The imaginary plane shall
be established above and parallel to the finish grade adjacent to the exterior walls at a vertical distance equal
to the specified maximum height. This definition is illustrated below:

(Ord. 284 § 1 (Exh. A) (part),. 1996)
9.50.060 Architectural projections.
A. Roof Projections.:Notwithstanding Figure 9-5, chimneys, roof vents, finials, spires, and similar architectural
features not containing usable space are permitted to extend up to three feet above the maximum structure
height set forth in Table 9-2 preceding.
B. Projections. The following architectural projections are permitted to encroach into the required setbacks
specified in Table 9-2 preceding:
1. Roof overhangs, chimneys, awnings and -canopies may encroach a maximum of two feet into any
required setback provided such projections are no closer than three and one-half feet from any property line.
2. Cantilevered seating windows or ledges, which are located a minimum of one foot above the floor
and do not increase a building's usable floor area, may encroach a maximum of two feet into any required
setback provided such projections are no closer than three and one-half feet from any, property line.
3. Balconies, exterior stairways, and elevated uncovered decks may encroach a maximum of four feet
into required front and rear setbacks provided such projections are no closer than three and one-half feet from
any property line. Such projections shall not encroach into required side setbacks nor. increase a building's
usable floor space. (Ord. 325 § 1 (Exh. A) (part), 1998: Ord. 299 § 1 (part), 1997; Ord. 284 § 1 (Exh. A)
(part), 1996)
950.070 Irregular lots.
A. Purpose. Setback distances established for residential districts are based on rectangular lots. Nonrectangular
lots, lots with three. sides or more than four sides, and other nonstandard lots require special measurement
techniques in order to achieve the purpose of setback requirements, i.e., the appropriate separation of structures
from streets and other properties. The purpose of this subsection is to provide standards for the establishment
and measurement of setbacks on irregular lots. (See Chapter 9.280 for definition of lot lines.)
