PAApplicationsWinor Adjustment.doc April 16, 2007 Mr. Art Lambrose 78-030 Calle Barcelona La Quinta, CA 92253 SUBJECT: MINOR ADJUSTMENT 07-597 78-805 WAKEFIELD CIRCLE Dear Mr. Lambrose: The Planning Department has reviewed your request to convert a portion of the existing three -car garage into a game room, pursuant to Section 9.210.040 (Minor' Adjustments) of the Zoning Ordinance. We find that we can not approve the request for the following reasons: 1 . This minor adjustment is inconsistent with the intent and purpose of the Zoning Code (Chapter 9.150) because it proposes reducing the garage area to less than 20' wide by 20' long, thereby not permitting two cars to be parked in the garage which would be incompatible with other.homes within the City. 2.. The garage size can be maintained at 20' by 20' with a smaller addition to the home. This minor adjustment is detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of this .area of the City for reasons. addressed herein. This decision may be appealed to the Planning Commission provided the necessary paperwork and filing fee of $175.00 are filed with this office within 15 days. Please contact our office if you need assistance with your application. If you have any additional questions, please.contact me at 760-777-7125.
