An application was filed by John -David Ward, owner of real property located at 1246 24 Street, requesting an addition to an existing single-family residence, which extends an existing nonconforming side yard, pursuant to Chapter 17.52 of the Zoning Ordinance. Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted a hearing to consider the application on July 15, 2003, at which testimony and evidence, both written and oral, were presented to and considered by the Planning Commission. Section 3. Based on the evidence received at the public hearing, the Planning Commission makes the following factual findings: 1. The applicant is proposing a 330 square foot expansion to the livable floor area of an existing 53-year-old single-family dwelling, resulting in an increase of valuation of 25.8% while extending a less than required side yard setback. Section 4. Based on the foregoing factual findings, the Planning Commission makes the following findings: 1. The existing nonconformities are not severe or unusual. 2. The scale of the proposed expansion is reasonable, and is consistent with planning and zoning requirements for the R-1 zone and does not warrant requiring the current nonconforming side yard be brought into conformance; 3. Approval of the expansion is consistent with the intent and goals of Chapter 17.52 of the Zoning Ordinance. 4. The project is Categorically Exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, pursuant to CEQA guidelines, Section 15301 e(2) with the finding that the project is in an area with available services and not in an environmentally sensitive area. Section 5. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission hereby approves an extension of a nonconforming side yard, subject to the following Conditions of Approval: 1. The project shall be consistent with submitted plans. Modifications to the plan not involving any further expansion shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission. 2. A termite and structural inspection report verifying the structural integrity of the building must be submitted prior to issuance of building permit. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 3.
