d. The creation of sub-standard front yard setbacks of
27 feet (Lot 5) and 31 feet (Lot 6) results from the
strict interpretation of the Development Code.
Tract 11577 was approved under Resolution 80-72 with
average 25 foot front yard setback (from property
line) prior to the adoption of the Development
Code. The Development code requires a 37 foot
average front yard setback (from curb face) which
may vary ±5 feet;
e. Existing surrounding properties all have an average
25 foot front yard setbacks from property line (37
feet from curb).
f. The Variance as specified in the application will
not contradict the goals or objectives of the Rancho
Cucamonga General Plan or Development Code and will
not promote a detrimental condition to the persons
or properties in the immediate vicinity.
3. Based upon substantial evidence presented to this Commission
during the above-referenced February 25, 1987 hearing and upon
the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2
above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. That strict or literal interpretation and
enforcement of the specified regulation would result
in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical
hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the
Development Code.
b. That there are exceptional or extraordinary
circumstances or conditions applicable to the
property involved or to the intended use of the
property that do not apply generally to other
properties in the same district.
c. That strict or literal interpretation and
enforcement of the specified regulation would
deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the
owners of other properties in the same district.
d. That the granting of the Variance will not
constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent
with the limitations on other properties classified
in the same district.
e. That the granting of the Variance will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.
