from 50 feet to approximately 48 feet for Parcel 1 and 15 feet <br />for Parcel 2. The proposed sites are composed of a <br />landlocked remnant excess parcel which resulted from the I- <br />5freeway widening and the area of the street to be vacated. <br />Because the freeway runs diagonal to the existing <br />development pattern of streets and parcels, the two remnant <br />parcels are generally triangular in shape. While the size and <br />width at most of the parcel's depth will comply and exceed <br />with the zoning standards, the street frontage will not, as the <br />total street frontage for both parcels is located at the <br />narrowest portion of the triangle. Both parcels, at its <br />narrowest point are about 63 feet wide as measured from <br />the back of the front yard setback. Once the parcel lines are <br />adjusted, Parcel 1 will have an approximate frontage of 48 <br />feet, while Parcel 2 will have approximate frontage of 15 <br />feet. In order to be able to accommodate vehicular access <br />to both parcels, a common driveway will be constructed. A <br />reciprocal easement agreement for egress and ingress will <br />be created, recorded and maintained in perpetuity or until <br />such time as the homes are demolished. <br />2. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation <br />and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. <br />The granting of the variance is necessary for the <br />preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights. <br />The granting of the variance will preserve the property <br />owner's ability to develop the two existing parcels each with <br />one home, a use allowed by right. As discussed earlier, <br />each parcel is comprised of a landlocked remnant parcel, <br />which once combined with the area to be vacated, will be <br />reconfigured via a lot line adjustment to best accommodate <br />the proposed homes. <br />3. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to <br />the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property. <br />The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the <br />public or surrounding properties. With the granting of the <br />variance for the street frontage, the parcels and the <br />proposed development will comply with all applicable <br />development standards established in the R1 zoning district <br />and the Citywide Design Guidelines. Additionally, the <br />granting of the variance will allow residential development on <br />parcels that are currently vacant. The presence of vacant <br />sites can be detrimental to the appearance of a <br />Resolution No. 2011- <br />Page 2 of 6 <br />75A-22
