There is currently a.:1,213 square foot building on the parcel and 256 square feet of adjacent buildings on the parcel. The applicants are proposing a total 4,427 square feet of building space.

Development Title Section 9-235.4(a)[2] states that a non-conforming structure may be added or enlarged within the yard setback as long as the building does not expand into the setback area by more than 100%. The applicant is not extending the building more k than 100%, therefore, a Variance is unnecessary for the 10 foot setback encroachment. The project is located on the west side of N. Lower Sacramento Road approximately 87 feet north of E. Augusta Street, in Woodbridge. The General Plan designation is CIC (Community Commercial) and the zoning is C-C (Community Commercial). Findings In order to approve a Variance, the Development Title Section 9-827.5 requires that the following Findings are true: 1. Special Circumstances. Because of the special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings, the strict application of the regulation deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by the other property in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification.
