Summary

The Planning Commission approved a variance reducing the front-yard setback from 40 to 30 feet for a 0.66± acre lot at 3847 Woodlane Way because stream buffer and topography limit the buildable envelope; the vote was 4-0.

Jesus Penaloza asked the Commission for a variance to reduce the required front setback from 40 feet to 30 feet for a proposed single‑family residence on a 0.66± acre parcel zoned AR‑1. The applicant’s hardship statement cited an earlier stream buffer variance and topography that limit the buildable area.

Staff presented the application and no members of the public spoke in opposition. Commissioner Shannon Davidson moved to approve the variance; the Commission voted 4‑0 (Sosebee absent). Conditions and prior approvals were noted in the project file, including a stream buffer variance granted on Jan. 28, 2025 (HDEV24‑0131).
