While the applicant may still <br />desire a larger driveway, Planning Division staff has determined that a reasonable <br />driveway coniiguration exists that does not exceed Code allowances, and does not <br />support such a variance. This staff report and the attached site plan do not further <br />contemplate a variance to impervious coverage requirements. <br />Project Review History <br />• Application submitted: February 5, 2008; Determined complete: February 11, 2008 <br />• Sixty-day review deadline: April 10, 2008 <br />• Project report recommendation: March 5, 2008 <br />• Anticipated Variance Board action: March 5, 2008 <br />2.0 SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATION <br />2.1 The Planning Division recommends approval the requested VARIANCE to § 1004 of the <br />City Code; see Section 5 of this report for further information and Section 6 of this report <br />for the detailed recommendation. <br />3.O SUGGESTED ACTION <br />3.1 ADOPT VARIANCE BOARD RESOLUTION 78 APPROVING A VARIANCE to <br />§ 1004 of the City Code; see Section 7 below for details. <br />PF08-007 RVBA 030508 <br />Page 1 of 4 <br />
