HILLSIDE AREA CONSTRUCTION PERMIT AND LOT COVERAGE
VARIANCE
Address: 2829 Tiburon Way Meeting Date: 2/24/97
Requests: Hillside Area Construction Permit and Lot Coverage Variance (CS 25.28.071) for a
250 SF patio cover at 2829 Tiburon Way, zoned R-1.
Applicant: Eberhard Woerz
Property Owner: Kristina Woerz Dooman
Lot Area: 9,290 SF
APN: 025-033-090
General Plan: Low Density Residential Zoning: R-1
Adjacent Development: Single Family Residential
CEQA Status: Article 19. Categorically Exempt per Section: 15301 Class 1 - (e) additions to
existing structures provided the addition will not result in an increase of more than 50% of the floor
area of the structures before the addition.
Summary:
The applicant, Eberhard Woerz, is requesting a hillside area construction permit and lot coverage
variance for a 10'-0" x 25'-0" patio cover (250 SF) at 2829 Tiburon Way, zoned R-1. The lot
coverage variance is required for 43.2% lot coverage where 40% is the maximum allowed (CS
25.28.071). The existing house is nonconforming in lot coverage (40.5%). The patio cover will. be
attached to the rear of the house and is located approximately 30'-0" from the side property line
(along Sebastian Drive) and 42'-0" from the rear property line. The overall height of the patio cover
is 9'-0" from grade. The existing house has a total floor area of 6,004.5 SF (including garage) and
is located on a 9,290 SF lot.
History:
In July 1967, the Planning Commission approved a rear setback variance for 8'-0" where 15'-0"
is required for an indoor heated swimming pool (July 24, 1967 P.C. Minutes). The variance was
granted on the finding that an average of 15' in the rear setback was exceeded. The addition was
noted to comply with the maximum lot coverage at the time.

Staff Comments:
The Building Official, City Engineer and Fire Marshal had no comments. Planning staff notes
that it is difficult to get an accurate measurement of the lot size because the shape of the lot is
unusual. This may explain why the existing house is nonconforming in lot coverage. When the
property owners applied for a rear setback variance for an addition in 1967, the City Planner noted
that lot coverage was not an issue and that the property had ample rear yard and side setbacks
(July 24, 1967 P.C. Minutes). In order to get an accurate calculation of the lot size for this
project, Planning staff asked the Engineering Dept. to use coordinate geometry (using given
bearings and distances). By this method, the most accurate available to us, the lot size was
determined to be 9,290 SF.
