Staff recommended continuance due to an oversight in the original noticing, which failed to include necessary variances for the existing driveway's location and spacing relative to the structure. Staff confirmed the applicant was aware and did not require additional time. The required variances include front yard/corner side yard, driveway location (rear of principal structure), and spacing.
Notable Quotes (4)
Matt Perry has been elected as chair and Annie Wang has been elected as vice chair. Congratulations to the newly elected officers.
Yeah, this item was being recommended for continuation due to a oversight on staff's part with the, uh, noticing for the item.
We have some language in the code that requires parking areas to be located to the rear of principal structures and residential districts. So again, that second variance in this case would be required for that and actually even a third for um spacing between the structure and that proposed parking.
Uh yeah, absolutely. Sure, Perry. We have uh communicated this to the applicant. They did not request additional time.
