2. HEIGHT VARIATION AND TRACT MAP AMENDMENT (CASE NO. ZON2004-00409): 6270 Ocean Terrace / Ahamed (ES)

Request: A request to revise Height Variation No. 884, which was approved on August 24, 1999 for the construction of a new 6,696 square foot two-story residence, and an Amendment to Tract No. 31617. Due to an incorrect survey, the new residence was constructed at an unapproved location. Thus, the Height Variation revision and tract map amendment request is to allow a reduction in the required setback from 15-feet to 5-feet between the existing residence and the trail easement along the rear, thereby allowing the residence to remain in its current location. In addition, the request is to allow two balcony support columns that are greater than 30-inches in height to encroach into the established BGR (building/grading restriction) line.
