RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING - VARIANCE
NO. 91-11, A REQUEST TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED MINIMUM REAR
LOT DEPTH FROM 90 TO 65 FEET FOR ONE LOT WITHIN A
PROPOSED 20 LOT SUBDIVISION IN THE LOW-MEDIUM RESIDENTIAL
DISTRICT (4-8 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE) , LOCATED ON THE
NORTH SIDE OF SAN BERNARDINO ROAD, EAST OF VINEYARD

APN: 208-091-08.
A. Recitals.
(i) Walter Hu has filed an application for the issuance of Variance
No. 91-11 as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this
Resolution, the subject Variance request is referred to as "the application. "
(ii) On the 9th day of December 1992, the Planning Commission of the
City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the
application and concluded said hearing on that date.
(iii) All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution
have occurred.
B. Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the
Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows:
1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts
set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct.
2. Based upon substantial evidence presented to this Commission
during the above-referenced public hearing on December 9, 1992, including
written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this
Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
(a) The application applies to a triangle-shaped property
located on the north side of San Bernardino Road, east of Vineyard Avenue with
a San Bernardino Road frontage of 375.81 feet and maximum lot depth of 780.93
feet and is presently unimproved; and
(b) The property to the north of the subject site is an
existing single family subdivision, the property to the south of that site
consists of an existing shopping plaza, the property to the east is single
family residential, and the property to the west is single family residential
and vacant property zoned for future office development; and

(c) A Variance for the minimum lot depth for Lot 7 within
Tentative Tract 14405 is needed due to the method of determining lot width as
defined in the Development Code, Section 17.02.140, whereby lot depth is
defined as "the horizontal distance between the midpoint of the front lot line
and the midpoint of the rear lot line." In applying this definition, the
depth for Lot 7 is measured in a shallow portion of the lot; and
(d) The reduced lot depth on Lot 7 is due to the unusual shape
of the subject site and the City Standard offset cul-de-sac bulb along the
frontage of this lot. The offset cul-de-sac shape and size is necessary to
satisfy fire safety and circulation requirements for Tentative Tract 14405;
and
(e) Lot 7 meets all other minimum Code criteria such as, but
not limited to, lot area, building setbacks, lot coverage and usable flat rear
yard area; and
(f) The house portion of Lot 7 exceeds the required 90-foot
lot depth.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission
during the above-referenced public 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 regulations 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.
4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs
1, 2, and 3 above, this Commission hereby approves the application.
5. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption
of this Resolution.
