1. The requested variance for a 1,134-square-foot detached accessory building is hereby approved, in
accordance with the application and plans received by the City on July 22, 2022, except as may be
amended by this resolution.
2. The requested variance is approved, based on the finding that the applicable variance standards
would be met, specifically:
a) The requested variance would be in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the
ordinance and would be consistent with the City’s comprehensive plan.
b) The applicant has demonstrated that there are practical difficulties in complying with the
ordinance regulations, because:
1. The applicant proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner.
2. The request is due to circumstances that were not created by the applicant (in an
intentional manner). Through an interpreter, the applicant admits that he was not aware
of the size limitation or permit requirement for accessory buildings when he constructed
the connecting addition.
3. The variance would not alter the essential character of the lot or neighborhood.
c) The variance request is not based solely upon economic considerations. The applicant is
requesting the variance in order to retain the connecting addition to accommodate indoor
storage of lawn-maintenance equipment.

substantially diminish property values within the neighborhood.
f) The variance requested is the minimum action required to address the practical difficulties.
3. A building permit is required.
4. The variance shall expire one year after the date of approval, unless the property owner or
applicant has commenced the authorized improvement or use, or unless the applicant, with the
consent of the property owner, has received prior approval from the city to extend the expiration
date for up to one additional year, as regulated under Section 21030.06 of the zoning ordinance.
