A RFSOLUTION OF TAE PLANNING OOMMISSION OF THE
Cl'I'Y OF ARROYO GRANDE GRANTING A VARIANCE, CASE
NO. 88-120, APPLIED FOR BY FRANR AND OONNIE
FREITAS AT 602 CERRO VLSTA LANE
WHERF.AS, the Planning Co�rrrrission of the City of Arroyo Grande has considered
Variance Application No. 88-120, filed by Frank & Connie Freitas, for a Variance from the
ma�dnnun building height of 15 feet at 602 Cerro Vista Lane in the "R-1" Single Family
Residential District; and
WHERF.AS, the Conmission has held a public hearing on this application in accordance
with the City Code; and
WHLREAS, the Cormrission finds that the following circurrstances exist:
1. That the adjustrnent authorized shall not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and district
in which the subject property is situated;
2. That because of special cirewrrtances appdicable to the subject property, including
size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings, the strict application of the
provisions of this chapter is found to deprive the subject property of privileges
enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zone classifi-
cations;
3. That the granting of the Variance will not be contrary to the intent of this
chapter or to the public safety, health and welfAre;
4. That due to special conditions or exceptional characteristics of the property or its
location, the strict application of the provisions of this chapter would result in
difficulties and unnecessary hardship;
5. The grantirig of the Variance will not be materially detrimental to other properties
or land uses in the area because the views currently enjoyed by the s�u•rounding
properties will not be significantly impacted by the proposed development;
6. There are exceptional or extraordinary circuir�tances applicable to the intended
use that do not apply to other properties in the same zone. The property has no
apparent or significant viewsheds, nor does it appear to affect surrounding
viewsheds.
7. The strict application of the ordinance deprives such property of privileges
enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity or in the same zone because the 15-
foot restriction would limit the buildable potential of the lot, and other parcels in
the area have been developed with two-story homes; and
8. The granting of the Variance is compatible with the objectives, policies, and
general land uses specified in the General Plan because the intent of the urgency
ordinance is being met, as there is substantial protection of the viewsheds on
adjacent property, and the proposed development is in confocmance with the goals,
policies and objectives of the General Plan.
NOW, Z'HEREFOftE, BE 1T RF�OLVED that the Planning Comrrrission of the City of
Arroyo Grande hereby approves said Variance subject to the standard conditions of the City
