Staff Report to the Planning Conunission Lands of Digiovanni and Sander 12380 Hilltop Drive September 8, 2005 Page 2 of 7 an attached garage. The applicant is seeking approval of a variance to allow the new residence and parking areas to encroach within the front and both side yard setbacks. As required by Section 10-1.1104 of the Zoning Code, this application for a new residence has been forwarded to the Planning Commission for review and approval. A Conditional Development Permit is required any time a proposed project is located on a property with a Lot Unit Factor (LUF) of 0.50 or less. Pursuant to Section 10-1.1107(3) of the Zoning Ordinance, the Planning Commission, in reviewing a Conditional Development Permit application, determines whether the proposed development meet the objectives and standards of the Town. The evaluation of the Conditional Development Permit should include consideration of the size and design of the project with respect to the size, shape and topography of the site. CDP lots are not automatically entitled to MDA and MFA numbers and may be subject to conditions that include reductions to the allowable MDA and MFA. (LAFIMC 10-1.1107(3).b) In addition, the Zoning and Site Development sections of the Municipal Code are used to evaluate the proposal including building siting, floor and development area limitations, grading, drainage, height, setbacks, visibility, and parking requirements. The evaluation of the proposed variance should include many of the same items, concurrently evaluating the physical site conditions which result in an undue hardship on the property. Recommended findings for the Conditional Development Permit and Variance are included in this staff report.
