Findings of Fact The Planning Commission reviewed Planning Case 25-008 at the meeting on September 3, 2025, and offers the following findings for consideration: General Findings: 1. City Staff received a land use application for a lot consolidation and variance requests to the required R-1 Zoning District lot depth, lot area, building area elevation, front yard and rear yard setbacks, shore impact zone, structure coverage, permeable surface credit, and floor area ratio at the Subject Property. 2. The existing lot area of the 1622 Lake Johanna Blvd parcel is 4,415 square feet. The proposed lot area, after the proposed lot consolidation, is 8,372 square feet. 3. The existing front yard setback for the Subject Property represents an encroachment of 4.8 inches (A feet) into the Right -of -Way. The proposed front yard setback is 1.9 feet. 4.

The proposed redevelopment would bring the Subject Property closer to conformance with the R-1 district standards for lot area, building area elevation, front yard and rear yard setbacks, structure coverage, impervious surface coverage, and floor area ratio. 6. The proposed single-family dwelling would not require variances for side yard setbacks or building height. 7. The proposed single-family dwelling on the Subject Property would conform to all other requirements and standards of the R-1 Zoning District. Variance Findings: 8.

The variance would be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and the included references to the City's housing goal of encouraging redevelopment that is complementary to and enhances the character of the City's established neighborhoods. 10. A single-family dwelling is a permitted use within the R-1 Zoning District. 11. A single-family dwelling is a reasonable use of the property that would not be allowed under the rules of the Zoning Code without the requested variances. 12. The proposed single-family dwelling would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood because the configuration of development on the Subject Property would be consistent and compatible with the neighborhood. 13. The variance request is not based on economic considerations alone. Options and Motion Language The Planning Commission reviewed this application at the September 3, 2025, meeting.
