r:74Twa
An initiation of a Zoning Code Amendment to change the rear alley setback for six
properties from 6 feet to zero feet, consistent with the standard rear alley setback for
other properties in the City when located adjacent to a 20- foot -wide alley.
Section 20.66.020 of the Municipal Code requires City Council action to initiate City -
sponsored amendments.
RECOMMENDATION:
Initiate an amendment to Setback Map. No S -2G of the Zoning Code changing the
required rear alley setback from 6 feet to zero feet, consistent with the standard rear
alley setback for other properties in the City when located adjacent to a 20- foot -wide
alley.

There is no fiscal impact related to this item.
DISCUSSION:
The standard rear setback for properties zoned Single -Unit Residential (R -1) abutting a
minimum 20- foot -wide alley is zero feet per the Municipal Code, unless a different
distance is depicted on a setback map. In the case of the subject six properties, the
setback map (Setback Map S -2G) indicates a 6- foot -rear alley setback. This is unusual

when compared to the 34 properties located within the three adjacent blocks that abut
the same 20- foot -wide alley. All of these properties have the standard zero -foot setback.
The required 6 -foot setback not only affects building placement, but also impacts
buildable area and ultimately the maximum size of a home on the property. This
discrepancy was brought to staff's attention by a property owner that intends to
construct a new home. Staff believes an amendment to the setback map is appropriate
to correct the inequity.

Should the City Council initiate this amendment, staff will begin the amendment process
which will require public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council.
Initiation of the process does not have any binding effect on future decisions and the
amendment may ultimately change based upon additional staff analysis, public
outreach, or direction from the Planning Commission and City Council.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The City Council's initiation of a zoning amendment is exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") pursuant to Section 15262 (Feasibility and
Planning Studies) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14,
Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment.
No final action on the amendment will be taken and the initiation of the amendment
does not have any legally binding effect upon future consideration of the amendment
itself. Environmental review will be conducted prior to the consideration and potential
approval of the amendment.
NOTICING:
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of
the meeting at which the City Council considers the item).
