Very truly yours, JE RY H1 MAN PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR /411 Greg '_rousdell Associate Planner GT:ccs cc: Ms. Margaret Mary Buss City of La Quinta Post Office Box 1504 • 78-105 Calle Estado La Quinta, California 92253 LTRGT . 119 / CS Phone (619) 564-2246, Fax (619) 564-5617 Design 8 Production: Mark Palmer Design. 619-346-0772 STAFF REPORT PLANNING COMMiISSION MEETING BI 3 FILE COPY DATE: JUNE 9, 1992 APPLICATION: SR ADJUSTMENT 92-006 REQUEST: TO INSTALL A 5'0" HIGH STUCCO WALL ALONG CALLE SINALOA AT 51-765 AVENIDA RUBIO. THE WALL IS LOCATED ON THE EXISTING PROPERTY LINE. APPLICANT: MR. BRUCE SWAN, BETTER BUILDING COMPANY OWNER: MS. MARGARET MARY BUSS APN: 773-161-012 BACKGROUND: The subject home is located on the property and was built approximately 10-15 years ago. The site has 50 feet of frontage on Avenida Rubio and 100 feet along Calle Sinaloa. The property is zoned SR (Special Residential). Curb and gutter improvements are not presently in place, but the off -site improvements should be installed within the next few years by the City of La Quinta. REQUEST: The owner has requested permission to install a new 5'0" high stucco wall along a portion of Calle Sinaloa which is the exterior sideyard, to match the existing fence to the east. The new section will be 26'0" in overall length. The purpose for the request is to "increase privacy and reduce street noise" to the existing bedroom on the west side of the dwelling. The Applicant also feels that the wall is necessary because of the future elementary school proposed by the school district on Calle Sinaloa and Avenida Montezuma. The SR Adjustment is required because the maximum height of a sideyard fence allowed within the first ten feet is 4'0" . The Applicant has requested a one foot high adjustment. EXISTING SR FENCE REGULATIONS - ZONING CODE: 9.42.070 F. Fencing 1. General Requirements: Rear and side yards shall be completely enclosed and screened by view obscuring fencing, walls, or combinations. 2. Height/Location: Fencing for rear and side yards shall be a minimum of 5-feet and a maximum of 6-feet in height . The fence may be located on the property line. Fencing in the front and street side yards shall be limited as follows: PCST.059 1 001 Setback 0' - 10' 10.1 or more Fence Height 4' maximum 5' maximum The existing fencing regulations went into effect in 1990. EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS: The neighboring property to the west of the subject site is presently developed with a single family home. The neighbor has a 6'0" high wall on Calle Sinaloa. The wall is on the street sideyard property line. The wall is in the same location as requested by the applicant . DESERT SANDS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: At the beginning of this year the City Council met with local residents and with the School District to discuss the possibility of building an elementary school at Avenida Montezuma and Avenida Sinaloa. However, discussions have stalled because a majority of the abutting residents were opposed to the facility in their neighborhood. It is the responsibility of the School District as to whether to construct a school at this location or to examine another site . The School District would like the new facility to be built in the Cove in close proximity to its students . FINDINGS REQUIRED: In order for the request to be approved, the Planning Commission must be able to make findings to support the Applicant's request per Chapter 9.42.110(4) . ANALYSIS: The expansion of the property to allow a compatible fence to match the existing wall on the easterly portion of the site is not an unusual request because the wall will match the existing characteristics of the site and not be detrimental to abutting properties . Staff supports the request, and the following findings can be made. 1. That the proposed project is consistent with the intent and purpose of the General Plan. 2. That the project has been determined to be exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act. 3. That the proposed project will not present any significant impacts on abutting neighbors as designed nor create traffic visibility problems for the City should the fence be built in its proposed location. 4. That the conditions stated herein are deemed necessary to protect the health, safety and welfare of the community. PCST.059 2 00? 5. The architectural aspects of the development will be compatible with and not detrimental to, the present and future logical development of the surrounding property. PROPOSED CONDITIONS: 1. A building permit shall be obtained by the Building and Safety Department prior to construction of the wall on the property. 2. The wall shall be stuccoed to match the existing wall on the subject property to the east. 3. The wall shall not exceed 5'0" in overall height. Attachments: 1. Location Map 2. Land Use Map 3.
