Board declines appeals of Lake Arrowhead setback variances; schedules signage appeal hearing for July 15
Summary
The board declined two appeals of ZBA approvals that reduced front setbacks in the Lake Arrowhead subdivision, letting the ZBA decisions stand, and accepted an appeal of a separate Highway 92 sign variance, scheduling that hearing for July 15.
The board declined two appeals challenging zoning board of appeals approvals in the Lake Arrowhead subdivision that reduced front-yard setbacks (from 25 feet to 12 feet) for proposed lots (one appeal concerned 66 lots; the second covered 129 lots). After discussion on parking and street width concerns, the board voted to let the ZBA approvals stand.
The board also accepted an appeal relating to a sign variance requested by ALC Veterinary Properties (Amy Crowder) and set a public hearing for July 15, 2025. Staff described the proposed signage as meeting monument-style height and square-footage limits but seeking an open area between the copy area and the base; the applicant's representative argued that the design improved driver visibility at a nearby curve on Highway 92.
Appellant Stephen McClendon (whose address is recorded in the transcript) submitted a written letter arguing the developer had not established a unique hardship; commissioners discussed traffic engineering accommodations and chose not to reopen hearings for the Lake Arrowhead variances but agreed to accept the signage appeal and hold a hearing in July.
