PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. PC-98-7l RESOLUTION DENYING THE APPEAL AND THEREBY UPHOLDING THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S APPROVAL OF THE APPLICATION OF ROD AND BARBARA KERR, AS FILED UNDER CASE AP-98-07 (V-98-07/Z-98-162) WHEREAS, the Zoning Administrator conditionally approved Case V -98-07 /Z-98-162, the application of Rod and Barbara Kerr for a variance from the Municipal Code requiring that a one-story addition to an existing single-family residence maintain a five-foot setback (rather than the applicant's requested three-foot setback) from the northeastern side property line located at 5664 Paseo Navarro; and WHEREAS, within the time specified by the Pleasanton Municipal Code, the applicant filed an appeal requesting that the variance be approved as originally submitted; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is R-I-6,500 (Single-Family Residential) District; and WHEREAS, at its duly noticed public hearing of September 9, 1998, the Planning Commission considered all public testimony, relevant exhibits, and recommendations of the City staff; and WHEREAS, projects of this nature are categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); therefore no environmental document was prepared for this project; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission determined that approval of the three-foot side yard setback is out of character with the neighborhood, would result in a grant of special privilege, and would result in a substandard condition which would set an undesirable precedent in the community; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission determined that the variance findings as made by the Zoning Administrator can be made and the approval of the Zoning Administrator for a five-foot setback was a reasonable solution which enables the applicants to maximize the use oftheir property.
