VR-00-02 OF ROSS C. BROWN TRUSTEE. LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF WEST RIPON ROAD 500-FEET EAST OF ALICE ROAD, WEST OF RIPON. The applicant has submitted the above referenced application for the purpose of varying the required 40-acre minimum lot size to 1.80 acres and the minimum lot width from 330-feet to 242-feet to permit a Minor Subdivision application. The property has a General Plan designation of General Agriculture (A/G) and a Zone classification of General Agriculture, 40-acre minimum (AG-40). The project site is 14.29 acres and contains two dwellings. The second house was approved as a Second Unit Dwelling, SD-87-08. This item is scheduled to be heard by the Planning Commission on September 21, 2000. The Community Development Department has reviewed the application and will be recommending that the Planning Commission deny the Variance. To support such a Variance, three Findings must be made. Staff is unable to make two of the three Findings, specifically Findings 1 and 2. Finding no. 1: Because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape, topography, location, or surrounding, the strict application of the zoning regulations deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zone classification. • This finding cannot be made because there is no documentation that there are special circumstances specific to this property relative to its size, shape, topography, location, or surrounding that would support the Variance. Finding no. 2: The granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the property is situated.
