3. PUBLIC HEARING
A. A REQUEST FOR TIME EXTENSION FOR TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO.
65976. THE PARCEL MAP WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED ON JUNE 12,
2007 FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A THREE-UNIT RESIDENTIAL
CONDOMINIUM SUBDIVISION LOCATED AT 5062 SULTANA AVENUE
The Commission approved a request for a time extension for a tentative
parcel map that was originally approved on June 12, 2007. The tentative
parcel map will develop three detached condominium units on the subject
property. Each unit will be a two-story dwelling containing approximately
1,500 square feet of living area with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a
two-car garage. The Floor Area Ratio is .49 and the Lot Coverage is 37
percent. The property is located in the R-2 zone, and is designated as
Medium Density Residential by the City's General Plan.
B. A ZONE VARIANCE FOR A FOUR-FOOT SIDE YARD SETBACK ALONG
THE SOUTH PROPERTY LINE LOCATED AT 6213 LOMAAVENUE
The Commission approved a request for a Zone Variance for a four-foot side
yard setback located at 6213 Loma Avenue. The applicant originally
proposed to construct an addition to the rear of the existing house and to
remodel the front of the house. Upon discovery of extensive termite damage
the applicant was allowed to demolish the structure in its entirety. The lot is
extraordinarily narrow (40 feet wide) whereas neighboring properties are
wider. Therefore, a four-foot wide side yard setback as opposed to the
standard five-foot wide side yard setback was found appropriate for the
subject site. The property is located in the R-1 zone, and is designated as
Low Density Residential by the City's General Plan.
C. A TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP AND A MINOR SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR
THE SUBDIVISION OF SPLITTING THE LOT INTO TWO PARCELS AND
FOR THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT OF A NEW SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENCE ON EACH PARCEL
The Commission approved a request to allow a tentative parcel map to divide
a property into two parcels. The property is 100 feet wide and 158 feet deep
with a total land area of approximately 15,800 square feet. The property will
be divided through the midpoints of the front and the rear property lines,
creating two 2-story single family residences equal in size and dimensions.
Each parcel will have a frontage of 50 feet and a lot size of 7,900 square feet.
The property is located in the R-1 zone, and is designated as Low Density
Residential by the City's General Plan.
