ITEP1 TITLE �ots, flag lots, or lots served by an easement
Ordinance q1868 - Amending Chapters 19.22, 19.24 and 19.26 of the Municipal
Code relating to panhandle lots, flag lots and lots served by an easement
SUBMITTED BY Director of Plannin� �[CO14D Rc; .�ii!u A�:D A�CPTION
[TEM EXPLANATION (4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES_ NO X )
A. BACKGROUND
1 . Over the past years the Planning Commission has granted variances from the minimum
lot frontage requirements in the single family and two family residential zones permitting
the creation of panhandle (flag) lots and lots served by an easement. Section 19. 14.200
of the Municipal Code states in part that, "No grant of variance shall be authorized if the
Zoning Administrator finds that the conditions or situation of the specific piece of property
or the intended use of said property for which variance is sought, or one or the other in
combination, is so general or recurrent in nature as to make reasonably practical the �
formulation of a general regulation for such condition or situation. " The variance requests
which have been granted are so similar in nature that it is anticipated other requests will
be forthcoming, therefore, the following amendments to the Code establishing re9ulations
and guidelines governing the development of panhandle lots are proposed.
2. On hiay 25, 1979 the Planning Corrmission adopted the Negative Declatation on
IS-79-49 which is herewith forwarded to the City Council .
B. DISCUSSION
1 . The proposed amendments to the zoning ordinance v�ill allow for the processing of
the occasional request for development of a lot which lacks frontage on a public street
but which has access from an easement without the need to apply for a variance. In the
past, the variance procedure has been used but the classical variance findings are difficult
to make in this type of case. Procedurally, it is preferable to amend the zoning ordinance
to allow for the development of such pre-existing lots subject to the appropriate conditions
of approval . The language of the ordinance utilizes the conditions of approval previously
established by the Planning Commission as guidelines.
