There has been no recent development history in the subdivision. It
was originally built in the early 90's and has been built-out for at
least the last five years. Being a Planned Development District, on
occasion, we have had revisions to the PD (similar to the one before
you here) and this is the 5th minor amendment request to the PD.

TRANSPORTATION: Kings Canyon Court is a residential street of 27-foot width built to
standard within a 50-foot right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - single-family residences; PD-131
South - single-family residences; PD-131
East- single-family residences; PD-I 31
West - single-family residences; PD-131
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for low density, single-family development.
DISCUSSION:
This is a rather straight-forward case in that the owner of this property at 829
Kings Canyon wishes to add on to an existing structure. Basically what is
requested here is permission to construct an addition that extends into a
required yard. Because this is a comer lot, and the applicant felt there was an
interpretation question with regard to a rear vs. a side yard, an opinion of the
Building Official was requested. The Building Official rightfully ruled that
this is a rear yard (requiring a 20-foot setback) and the way to permit
construction was through an amendment to the PD. We have a letter from
the adjacent property owner supporting this request (see attachment), and
based on staff opinion that this addition will not harm adjacent owners, we
support this request.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of this request.
ALTERNATIVES
1)

4)

ATTACHMENTS:

2) Letter of support from adjacent homeowner
3) Photo of area of proposed addition
