Guadalupe approves side-yard variance for 5531 E Calle Sonora after public hearing on conditional-use request
Summary
The Town Council approved an eight-foot side-yard variance to allow a seven-foot setback for a proposed single-family home at 5531 E Calle Sonora and held a public hearing on a related conditional-use permit. The applicants are Jesus Arias and Delma Arias; the record does not show a final vote on the conditional-use permit in the provided transcript.
The Guadalupe Town Council on June 11 approved variance V2026-01, reducing the required 15-foot side-yard setback in the R-2 zoning district to seven feet for a proposed single-family home at 5531 E Calle Sonora.
The public hearing also covered a conditional-use permit request (CU2026-09) for the same property. Applicants Jesus Arias and Delma Arias presented the requests as the council reviewed whether the proposals meet Town of Guadalupe Zoning Code standards under Title XV, Chapter 154. The transcript records that the public hearing was held on the conditional-use permit; it does not record a final council vote on CU2026-09 in the provided text.
The approved variance (V2026-01) is described in the agenda as an eight-foot deviation from the 15-foot side-yard requirement. The agenda links the variance and conditional-use items and cites the Town of Guadalupe zoning provisions for required findings on variances, including that special circumstances must exist and the variance must not grant special privileges.
The council did not provide mover/second or a roll-call tally for the variance in the supplied transcript excerpt. Council direction to staff or further procedural steps on CU2026-09 are not recorded in the provided text.
What happens next: the council may provide direction to the Town Manager per the agenda language; additional permitting steps or permits required under town code would proceed according to staff review and any conditions the council may impose.
