Resolution 03 -2061 PC Page 2
Zone Variance 03 -1539
4. That there are special circumstances as provided in Section 65906 of the
California Government Code in that the existing house on the lot was
constructed prior to the current setback criteria, thus creating an unusual
circumstance. Additionally, the existing house provides a side yard area along
the north side of approximately 9 feet, which is long- standing and ample in
comparison to typical side yard setbacks within this neighborhood.
SECTION 2. This project should not result in significant effects upon the
environment and a Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with the State
CEQA Guidelines. The initial statement as prepared indicates there is no potential for
adverse impact to the environment as it relates to all wild animals, birds, plants, fish,
amphibians, and related ecological communities, including the habitat upon which the
wildlife depends for its continued viability.
SECTION 3. Accordingly, Zone Variance 03 -1539 is hereby approved,
subject to the following conditions.
1. The proposed development shall be in substantial compliance with the
submitted development plans, dated September 2, 2003, except as
modified herein.
2. Building permits must be obtained for all new construction.
3. An encroachment permit shall be obtained for all work within the public
right -of -way.
4. All trees shall be preserved on the lot, including those in the public right -of-
way, unless removal is specifically authorized by the Community
Development Department and the Public Services Department. If a tree is
removed, a replacement tree(s) shall be planted as may be required by the
Public Services Department.
5. Construction and demolition work shall be limited to between 7:00 a.m. and
6:00 p.m.
6. Noise shall not exceed the limits of the City's Noise Ordinance. During any
construction and /or demolition, noise will be controlled by limiting work on
the site to 7:00 a.m. through 6:00 p.m.
7. Disposal of Construction Waste: No construction activity waste material of
any kind, including plaster, cement, paint, mud, or any other type of debris
or liquid shall be allowed to be disposed of in the street or gutter, storm
drain or sewer system. Failure to comply with this condition will result in
charges being filed with the District Attorney. (TCMC 3400 -3411)
