June 4, 2019
Subject: Reed Residential Variance PA 2019-060
Reasons for appeal (continued from application form):
Especially in light of the upcoming General Plan Update (GPU) and concerns about
mansionization, loss of neighborhood character, and impacts on views, we believe this Project
Application should be reconsidered and denied by the City Council
1. Representatives of two neighboring Homeowner Associations stated their opposition at
the Planning Commission hearing. They offered to conduct a community meeting but the
offer was ignored despite the increasing desire by the City Council, in preparing for the
GPU, to seek maximum public outreach.
2. The granting of this Variance is inconsistent with the General Plan. Cumulative issues in
terms of heights and bluffs were not considered and the Natural Resources Element of the
General Plan was not discussed. The variance will encourage construction over the
ravine on the coastal bluff. But variances are only supposed to be granted (NBMC Sec.
20.52.090(F)(6), (see below) if the result would not conflict with the General Plan. One
of the stated goals of the Natural Resources Element of the General Plan (all elements
supposedly having equal standing) is Goal "NR 23 - Development respects natural
landforms such as coastal bluffs." This is supported by policy "NR 23.1 - Preserve cliffs,
canyons, bluffs, significant rock outcroppings, and site buildings to minimize alteration
of the site's natural topography and preserve the features as a visual resource."
The Project should not be considered categorically exempt under Section 15303 of the
CA CEQA Guidelines because it has potential to have significant effect on the
environment.
4. NBMC Section 20.52.090(F) (Variances — Findings and Decisions). We believe the
following findings cannot be made:
Finding (2): Strict compliance with Zoning Code requirements would deprive the subject
property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under an identical
zoning classification.
Finding (3): Granting the variance is necessary for the preservation of enjoyment of
substantial property rights of the applicant.
Finding (4): Granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the vicinity and in the same zoning
district.
Finding (5): Granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the harmonious and
orderly growth of the City.
Finding (6): Granting of the variance will not be in conflict with the intent and purpose
of this section, the Zoning code, the General Plan, or any applicable specific plan.
