The Property is located in the R-l (Residential-Single Family) Zoning district (S5.1 et seq., Ordinance No. 1130, as amended, the Zoning Ordinance ofthe City of Redwood City [all section references herein are to said ordinance unless otherwise indicated]). 2. Applicant applied for variances to the provisions of Section 32.3.a(4) (Supplemental Side Yard Requirements) to allow the construction of a handicap ramp within the required 6-foot side yard (S5.9a(2» and to the provisions of Section 32.11 (Construction in Yards) to allow construction of decking within said side yard, the elevation of which exceeds one (1) foot as to a portion thereof. Said application was granted by the Zoning Administrator after hearing thereon on May 25, 1994. The variance, as granted, permits the construction of a deck exceeding the limitations of Section 32.11d, to wit: in excess of one foot above finished grade. Said variance was granted upon the apparent finding that the deck constructed at the Property conformed, at least in part, to the requirements of Section 32.11 d, but exceeded the one (I)-foot limitation as to portions thereof. The variance also permits the construction of a handicap ramp extending from newly constructed French doors in the side of the residential building located on the Property into the required side yard beyond the permitted encroachment under Section 32.3a(4), to wit: in excess ofthree feet.
