in shape has resulted in a portion of the driveway no • longer being able to meet the required length while keeping the rest of the site in compliance with required building setbacks. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. The granting of this variance would allow the property owner the opportunity to develop this site with a high quality single-family residence. Not allowing this variance would likely result in the property remaining vacant which is in direct contrast to Policy 4.1.6 of the Housing Element of the General Plan which encourages development of vacant or underutilized parcels for residential purposes. iii. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property. The proposed single-family dwelling will have no • detrimental impacts on the surrounding properties or neighborhood. The lot is being developed with an appropriately sized and scaled single-family residence that will harmoniously blend with the primarily residential character of the neighborhood. Although the triangular shape of the lot results in a portion of the driveway being unable to meet the required 20 feet, the properties location at the end of a cul-de-sac on a non-arterial street reduces any impacts it may have to the surrounding properties. iv. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City. The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the City's General Plan in any way as the land use designation of Low Density Residential (LR-7) matches the proposed single-family development. This is consistent with Policy 5.5 of the Land Use Element which promotes development which is compatible with and supportive of surrounding land uses. • Resolution No. 2007-36 Page 4 of 12
