"R-4 AHOD" Residential Single-Family Airport Hazard Overlay District
Prepared By:

Request
A request for a four and a half foot variance from the minimum five foot side yard setback, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow an attached carport, with eaves, six inches from the side property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 514 S San Joaquin Street, approximately 152 feet south of San Fernando Street. The applicant was cited by Code Enforcement for construction of a carport without permits, and for building the carport within the side setback. The carport, which is made mostly of wood, is currently located six inches from the side property line. The applicant informed staff that the intention was to add gutters onto the structure, but have not done so because they were told to stop working on the project pending the variance procedure. The neighboring house is located 15 feet from the shared property line. As such, there is a 15 foot spacing between the carport and the neighboring home, more than the ten foot spacing required by current code which mandates a five foot setback from each structure. Nonetheless, should the adjacent property one day wish to install a similar carport at a fairly standard ten feet, only five feet would exist between the structures.
