Item No. <br /> PC : 12-18-86 <br /> VR-87-2/SU-87-4 <br /> Page 1 <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> The Planning Division recommends that the Planning Commission: <br /> 1 . Deny the Variance based on the findings listed in the staff <br /> report ; <br /> 2 . Approve the Negative Declaration prepared for the Major <br /> Subdivision and direct the Clerk to file a Notice of <br /> Determination; and <br /> 3. Approve the 51-lot Major Subdivision based on the findings <br /> listed in the staff report and subject to the recommended <br /> Conditions of Approval . <br /> FINDINGS FOR VARIANCE ACTION <br /> 1 . Because no special circumstances are applicable to the prop- <br /> erty, including size, shape, topography, location, or surround- <br /> ings, the strict application of the zoning regulation does <br /> not deprive the property of privileges enjoyed by other prop- <br /> erty in the vicinity and under identical zoning classifica- <br /> tion because the project is physically similar to Unit No. 1 , <br /> for which a 20-foot front yard was required and which con- <br /> tains developed lots that have been required to respect a <br /> 20-foot front yard; two- and three-car garages can be located <br /> on the lots outside a 20-foot front yard; and the lots can be <br /> redesigned to accommodate three-car garages without varying <br /> the front yard. <br /> 2 . The granting of the Variance will constitute a grant of spe- <br /> cial privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other <br /> properties in the vicinity and zone in which the property is <br /> situated because Unit 1 residences and garages are required <br /> to comply with the design and size restrictions imposed with <br /> a 20-foot front yard. <br /> 3 . The Variance will not authorize a use or activity which is <br /> not otherwise expressly authorized by the zone regulation <br /> governing the parcel of property because single-family resi- <br /> dences with attached two- or three-car garages are per- <br /> missible in the R-2 zone. <br /> FINDINGS FOR MAJOR SUBDIVISION ACTION <br /> 1 . The proposed map is consistent with applicable General and <br /> Specific Plans because public sewage disposal, water supply, <br /> and storm drainage services will be provided; the proposed <br />
