Summary

Planning staff recommended approval of an accessory-structure variance at 538 Rancho Viejo Drive but the applicant was not present via Zoom; commissioners voted to table the request to the next meeting.

Planning staff presented Item 7, a variance request under municipal code section 46-2-39(b), seeking permission for a 2,400 sq. ft. accessory structure at 538 Rancho Viejo Drive in Rancho Mirabal Estates that exceeds the 50% size cap (staff reported a requested variance of roughly 648–684 sq. ft.). Staff recommended approval of the variance but noted the applicant was not on the Zoom call.

The chair and staff confirmed the applicant had requested a Zoom link but was not present; commissioners then moved to table the item to the next meeting. The motion to table was recorded in the minutes (mover recorded as Davido Ropessa and seconded by Mary Cruz) and the board carried the motion — the item was TABLED.

No final decision on the variance was made at this meeting; staff and the applicant will have another opportunity to present the full case at the next scheduled hearing.
