LPC Properties- Variance for side yard setback reduction
Assessor Parcel Number: 206-111-020
Record Number: PLN-2025-19260
Carlotta
A Variance is requested to allow a reduced side yard setback from 25 feet to 10 feet for the construction of a new 63 foot by 110-foot storage building. The property is 1.2-acres and developed with an approximately 9,250 square foot existing beverage business. The property is zoned Heavy Industrial (MH), which requires 50-foot front and rear yard setbacks, and 25-foot side yard setbacks. The large setback requirements are particularly restrictive given the size and layout of the parcel (allowing only approximately 42 percent of the land to be developed), and building into the setback is the only feasible way for the existing business to gain the contiguous storage space needed while also maintaining road widths necessary for access. The Variance for the new metal building placement is requested to accommodate equipment and materials that require dry storage to operate efficiently, safely, securely and to follow sanitary standards. A lot line adjustment is not feasible due to the neighbor's existing septic systems along property lines on both sides. The parcel is served with a shared water system, an on-site septic system, and power supplied by PG&E.
