neighborhood, The front yard setback pertains to the 14 feet along the front
•which is -the •porch making the 'setback 15 feet .f-rom 'the 1o,t line, instead of '18
feet; the balancei of the building is,appr.oxima'tely 2.0 feet:. There are decks
across, the western side above the retaining wall and a deck over the covered
parking area.. There is about: 6'75" :square feet of area for the decks, most of
which; landscaping underneath, The oth6rl as "pect,:Mr'.. Hudson continued, i:s.
that 325 square feet of the.covered area-is-landscaped. provides parking
underneath for..the - building...
Mr-. Leb.:stated this is a - unique design but• the;, applicants are being penalized
by.some interpretations of 'shaded areas of the•, Zonin&,Ord1nance. Mr. Hudson
stated that the total of� the areas outside the walls of the structure are 675
square that
for under decks,. 325 -square fe'e for under the building, but° land -
scape, and 250 square feet for the area under the p.'enthouse for a total of
1- ,250 feet;,. When this its deducted from the total area -the total lot.
coverage is under 55/ ,The code sti.pulates that the :Planning "Director -, by
'Sofatheemaximum,.lot ca n
co•vera e. allowed which shows limi five (5) percent in
excess
g 'th.e .degree of latitude
permitted. The project was°first revi,ewed'by the City in 1976 for rezoning of
the.parcel and at that time, the plan was presented to the staff and was met
i
with. acceptance.
Mr.. Hudson further explained 'tha;t. 'the property is surrounded on one side by the
modern Sierra Bank and' on the'other - .by a neighborhood.'Victor.ian house. At the
' time of rezoning, the primary design concern was to blend with the Sierra Bank
on one1,side and the Victorian residence on`the` other'side and this accounts for
the proi°ect-des and lot coverage, 'Mr. Hudson ind-icated that the structure
is located within the, parking; assessment .district' so :no,' parking spaces-are.
required, 'The owners and architect have attempted to; provide parking. suffi-
cient to assist both the 'applicants. of the building and the clients, plus the
fact the.parki.ng assessment .district has f'afl:ed to provide parking in the area,
Mr.; Hud's'on - quoted Section 26 -303 of the Zoning Ordinance Conditions necessary
for a 'Variance: He stated :the. Commission is empowered. and directed to take
these things into consideration and add -a human touch to the strict interpreta-
tiron of the law. He quoted !Secton of the-ordinance which provides
that (l) peculiar and unusual conditions inherent the -property must be suf
f "ic ent to - .cause a hardship.
Mr. Hudson explained that this property is bounded on one side by an alley and
therefore pre'sent's a.unique design pr oblem in itself,, probably because of the
issues .of egress and ingress:. .'There s no 'parking for commercial use even
though it is in an assessment district and is then believed to be an unusual
circumstance. The slope of :the' lot is substantial ,The alley itself is higher
than the.lot. Ther,e•is a,'distinct slope which contributed to the design prob-
lems. Mr. Hudson indicated that another peculiar and unusual condition is the
fact that this is a transition piece b etween a fairly modern commercial area,
and very old and, stately residential area.. This presented one of the principle
problems both from the ;staf *f' and, the archi.tect's point 'of view. It wa`s the
intent ! 'to. design a build - ng; that made the transition in a good looking .fashion
and also provided .a usable,•commercial area.
Comm. .Wright- explained that. the commi,s's'io,n had to make these four findings. He
questioned what the.slope of the lot had to do with. front yard setback?

Mr. Hudson refeXred to finding (3) -that variance, is necessary " the.,preser-
vat-ion, and enj oyment - of substantial property rights' possessed "by other 1properties
in the same 'zoning, district and :in the, vicinity and that.. the - var - ianc'e �.wauld mot

Petaluma City , Planning, Commission Minutes-, August 2., ;1977
,• Comm. Wright questioned why the building was designed - that the applicant�-had
to apply for so many variances? Mr. Hudson explained they wanted a building
that is pleasing to the• eye,. ' The lot has some problems such' as the slope± of
the land; the steep-alley-,and the parking area being lower than the alleyway.
Mr. Lieb explained one main blending, feature in the,-project is the landscaping.
The deck is: not protruding ..out as far as the Zoning Ordinance would permit.
The building have . been drawn smaller. We have.a peculiar situation and
perhaps the. Commission can.. make, the findings that would p.ermit'these variances.
Each variance has its' own leg to stand on.
Comm Balshaw indicated he could n.ot make the four findings.
Mr. Miikelsen then stated that the exact same building and lot - coverage was
vieweF]by staff and the- Commission for rezoning a year ago. The architect did
not know about the inside layout until the outside dimensions had been viewed.
We have been led down.the primrose path,. We were led to believe that last year
when the Planning Commission. and City Council' had seen the they had
approved the conc;eptoal The Heritage Homes "and the neighbors are in
favor ;of the proposed building.
Comm. Vaite,questioned•if the 3 feet is important and if the interior would.
have to be redesigned'? Mr. Hudson explained the 3 -foot ,setback is important as
there '. °s a 14 -foot porch -arid there would have. to be a. ete re- design of the
interior building. Comm. HOrciza suggested taking; off the first 3 feet of the
building, thereby reducing the building down to 'S0 % -. The:front yard setback
would be met at the same time„ and the rooms could adjusted to coin -
cide.
Mr. Hudson took some 'exce p t on on what it would entail to-:redesign the build -
ing. :In his opinion, these were minor.' variances in .comparison with the rear
yard variance granted at the last Commission meeting
Fred S, representing Committee,, commented that
chram re resentin the Historic and Cultural
someone had the insight to do, something nice for the community. The project
could' be chopped down- if the 3 -foot: variance is not 'granted. He behooved the
si
Commison. to view new' design that would .'b6 an, asset to the down-
town area.
:Comm. Shearer questioned if the decking was not considered would .1he` project
then be within 50 %? Mr. Rasmussen explained the .building coverage would then
be about - 53 %,
The Public Hearing was closed. t.
Comm. Wright. stayed he f ound it d'if f iculr :to find the;. four .conditions required
but that we are talking about ,a' diminuous situation that 'coul'd - fit into ario'the_r
category.
Comm. Horciza explained that the 5 -foot rear yard variance previously granted
provided a tremendous advantage to the applicant:. Now the Commission is faced
with the problem of excess .lot . coverage ,and a proj ec't:iori towards the front of .
.the property.of 3 feet. It would be very difficult' to make the four - findings.
It would make it difficult 'for the staff to enforce the Zoning Ordinance and
for the. Commission to exiforce if these variances are'approved.
