Special circumstances do not exist on the property that would warrant a variance from <br />the front yard setback requirement. The property is a typical shape and size for an <br />apartment complex and was originally approved with private open space in the front <br />yard setback area (Section 32.9 Open Space Requirements). The proposed enclosure <br />would displace the open space. <br /> <br />2. The granting of the variance would constitute a grant of special privilege, as the City has <br />. not permitted other variances for additions with six inch front yard setbacks on <br />properties with similar circumstances. By approving this variance, the City would be <br />setting a precedent for other development to be allowed in front yards. <br /> <br />3. The proposed six inch front yard setback from the public right of way where a 15' front <br />setback is required is contrary to the intent of the Zoning Ordinance to protect the <br />general welfare of the people of Redwood City. Consistent streetscape treatment and <br />maintenance of overall neighborhood character through the compliance with front yard <br />setbacks helps to protect the general welfare of the neighborhood and the City as a <br />whole. <br /> <br />This item may be appealed to the City Council within seven days of the date of this letter. <br /> <br />~- fit - I <br />,¿j . ~ ít{))~ -r/. <br />PrOject Planner / ZA <br /> <br />:MW <br />c: Building Division <br />(See Reverse Side) <br /> <br />101 7 Midd1efìeld Road <br /> <br />Redwood City, California 94063 <br /> <br />(650) 780-7234 <br /> <br />FAX 780-0128 <br /> <br />,-_..
