April 29th, 2025. My name is Charlie View and I'm the Zoning Administrator for the City of San Juan Capastrano. First on the agenda is oral communications. Oral communications is the opportunity for members of the audience to speak to the zoning administrator or matters not listed on the agenda. The person's wish to address the zoning administrator may do so and please the minister remarks to three minutes. Mr. Secretary, do we have any requests to speak on items? We do not. Thank you. So at this time, if anyone wanted to speak on anything other than what's on the agenda, which is the zone variance, this would be your time to come up and address this one administrator. Seeing no one, we'll move on to the public hearing. So we have first item, Mr. Secretary'd read the agenda title. Yes, of course. The item before you today is consideration of zone variance, ZV25-001, Elias Residence Front Yard, setback variance. It requests to deviate from section 9-3.301C1 of Title IX of the municipal code by establishing a 33 foot front yard setback for a new single family residence when a 150 foot front yard setback is required within the residential agricultural RA zoning district located at 30401. Malas Binarrot and a finding that the proposed project is categorically exempt from the California Quality Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Seco Guidelines Section 15303. The project planner Dominic Mateus is here with the presentation. Thank you, Mr. Secretary. Mr. Mateus may please have presentation Thank you Before the zoning administrator today is zone variance 25 0.01 on behalf of the applicant and you Elias the property in Question 30 401 Malas Spino Road is located within the Malaspino neighborhood and is within the residential agricultural RA zone district. It also has a land use designation of very low density. The subject property is currently undeveloped and is regularly shaped with a triangular portion extending southwards long Malaspino Road. It is surrounded by single-family residential properties along with some vacant land to the south and an office building to the west. The applicant requests a zone variance to encroach by 117 feet into the required 150 foot front yard setback, resulting in a setback of 33 feet for a proposed single-family residence. The residential agricultural zone district requires all structures between 150 foot front our setback which is represented by the red line on the aerial imagery before you. And in green is the 33 foot front yard setback that is being requested under this variance application. So I'm going to note as well as that there is a private road easement present on the site for Malaspino Road. And both of the the setback lines shown in red and green are measured from that easement line. This is due to the land use code requiring the frontier setback be measured from the edge of road easements. Display is a preliminary plan provided by the applicant showing their proposal for developing a single family residence in the level area of the site. The property, as you can see, is significantly sloped. And the area that is most level would be within most of the 150 foot front yard setback around half of it. And so we've overlaid and red, again the 150 foot front yard setback line. And then in green you have the 33 foot reduced setback that the applicant is requesting. Staff determined that all findings can be made for the entitlement application. Staff evaluated the available permits and aerial photography for the mouse pin on neighborhood and found several properties of structures that encroach into the front yard setback. Staff identified 82% essentially 9 out of 11 homes that have structures that are within the setback area so approximately 82%. One of the nine lots 30302 Malaspeed on Road has has a single family residence developed within existing front yard setback of 24 feet, 11 1 1 1 2 inches, which less than what the applicant is requesting. So that's the other second bullet. So essentially due to the significantly sub nature, the subject site, the limited readily to develop a land, as well as the existence of structures that are already within front or set back areas, staff recommends that the zoning administrator adopt a resolution approving the zone variance 2501 for the Elias residents and finding said action exempt from from sequel. Thank you. I have no questions to staff at this time. Does the applicant have a presentation? No, he does not. Okay, thank you. I will open the public hearing. Does anyone from the public wish to address this matter? Seeing no one, I will close the public hearing and bring it back to the zoning administrator. I reviewed the agenda report, the findings presented by staff as well as the site plan and the information on the geography and based on the information presented, I find for approval of the zone variance as requested by the applicant. Please note in terms of approval process, there is an appeal period, so the effective date for the approval is May 14th. If you wish to act before then, you need to work with your planner on an at-risk application. This closes the public hearing and the action on the zoning minister this evening. Thank you.
