SAN JOAQUIN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT VARIANCE FILE NUMBER : Existing Roads F77 Road/Street Name R . O . W. Width Pavement Width Curb/Gutter Sidewalks Ratto Road 40 ' 24 ' Yes ❑ No 0 Yes ❑ No EE Yes ❑ No ❑ Yes ❑ No ❑ Findings 1 . 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 other property in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification . The property is in a unique location and surrounded by multiple parcels inconsistent with the AG40 zone . In fact , on the entire Assessor' s Page for this parcel , there is only one parcel in compliance . In other words 97 % of the parcels are currently less than zone minimum . To further add to the uniqueness , the " mother" parcel of the existing parcel was initially just under 40 acres and the current parcel was reduced in size from the larger parcel because a County road bisected the mother parcel . 2 . The granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the property is situated . Granting of a Variance would not create a "fish out of water" parcel . Rather it would allow a parcel consistent with 97 % of the properties in the immediate vicinity . Secondly , the Planning Commission has previously approved Variances for factural situations similar to this ( PA- 140007 and PA- 1800216 ) 3 . The Variance will not authorize a use or activity which is not otherwise expressly authorized by the regulation governing the parcel of property . The Variance is for lot size only and would not authorize a use or activity which is not otherwise authorized by the regulation governing this property . Paye 3 of 4 Updated 091115 / 2020 `
