TITLE: Code Amendment Initiation for Properties Located at 2022, 2026, 2032, 2034, 2038, and 2042 Miramar Drive (PA2013 -211) 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. IW]LR1911Z"N=141111IN4krtl21 kik&-f 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 1 Miramar Drive Code Amendment Initiation October 22, 2013 Page 2 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. 65 406 2 �0 Excerpt of Setback Mao S -2G - Balboa Peninsula �4u1 399 2219 •til N I �°� 7 4• i gtVUE 0 \s a 1f Q h N..

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. 2 Miramar Drive Code Amendment Initiation October 22, 2013 Page 3 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).
