Item No.3 Discussion Item - Minimum Side Setback Determination Broadmoor Pacific View
Planned Community (PA2011 -013)
Summary: Determination of appropriate side yard setbacks within the Broadmoor Pacific
View Planned Community District.
Staff presented its analysis of the provisions of the Broadmoor Pacific View
Planned Community District regulations as it relates to side and setback maps.
The community has a zero -side setback configuration with a minimum of 10 feet
between buildings as well as street and view (rear) setback regulations. The PC
regulations do not specify a minimum side setback for the side opposite the zero -
side. The ambiguity applies to 22 lots that share a common side yard where
larger than minimum setbacks are provided and the houses are flipped to face
each other to take advantage of views. Staff recommended the establishment of
a minimum 5 -foot yard setback to provide the minimum 10 feet between buildings
pursuant to the PC regulations as equitable solution.

Jamie and Patricia White (2003 Yacht Mischief) presented their interpretation
that the original plot plan for the building of the tract should regulate all setbacks
and that there should be a review process for any addition outside the original
building footprint.
Testimony from residents of the community, the homeowner association
president, the chairman of the association's architectural review committee
supported staff's interpretation such that the original plot plan should not be used
to limit future additions and the establishment of a minimum 5 -foot side yard
setback.
The Planning Commission endorsed staffs interpretation and the establishment
of a minimum 5 -foot setback for the 22 lots in question (4 ayes, '1 no, 2 excused):
