The Planning Department staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt as a Class 3 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 which covers the construction of a limited number of new, small facilities or structures including the construction of 1 single-family residence in a residentially zoned district. Project Proposal: The applicant proposes constructing a single-family residence on a vacant lot located on the north side of loamosa Court and west of Hellman Avenue. A Variance is being requested to reduce the required 60-foot rear yard setback to 30 feet. Staff supports the Variance request as the approved Tentative Tract Map (SUBTT16461) included a Variance (DRC2003-00902) that reduced the required 200-foot lot depth to less than 150 feet. The result is a substandard lot on which it would be very difficult to design a residence without the rear yard setback reduction. The residence conforms to all other Development Code requirements including design, lot coverage, and setbacks (front and side). Staff Comments: Staff is pleased with the final design of the residence. The Tuscan design theme including stone veneer and decorative rafter tails have been carried to all elevations. Staff's only concern is that the residence is at the maximum 25 percent lot coverage, which will preclude the applicant from adding any additional solid roof structures on the lot in the future. Major Issues: None. Secondary Issues: None. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee forward the project to the Planning Commission for final approval as presented.
