VAR24-08 Citizen Participation Final Report

PROPOSED PROJECT – BRIEF DESCRIPTION 
The Wilsons  wish to build an RV garage and casita at their residence. The building will be 
similar in scope and size to our neighbors on each side directly to the North and East. This 
request is for a Variance to allow a maximum of 20’ 10” in the RR-45 Zoning District as the 
maximum height provided in the Unified Development Code is 16’. 
The height of the proposed garage is 20’ 10’. The COG’s new maximum height of 16 feet 
requires an application and subsequent approval for a variance in order  to build the RV 
garage.  Since a garage door is typically 14 feet high and the header above the garage door 
is 12 inches minimum, that would make the top plate 15 feet. The depth of the roof truss 
could be anywhere from 3 to 4 feet. It is for these reasons we are applying for a variance. 
The placement of the RV garage and casita will be on the southwest of the lot. The 
proposed RV garage is 1664 SF, and its dimensions are 52’ L x 32’ W x 20’ 10” H. The 
proposed casita is 1024 SF, and its dimensions are  38’ x 32’ with a covered porch and 
carport of 762 SF. The lot is 1.25 acres. 
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN – BRIEF OVERVIEW 
 
Public notification of this project included a notification letter with a two-week period for 
comments. The notification letter was mailed on August 9, 2024, to those identified by 
our Project Planner including individuals on the “Interested Parties” list currently 
maintained and provided by Planning. 
 
Because neighborhood meetings were not required for citizen participation plan we did 
not hold any. 
 
• Total number of parties notified: 188 (5 mail pieces returned) 
• Responses received: 1 Text; 4 Voice Messages.  
 
Responses are general and neutral, and mostly inquired about why they received 
letters. Respondents were called back and it was explained to them the reason for the 
letter. No further action was required.  
 
No concerns were noted, and the responses received did not warrant revision to the 
initial proposal.

were notified are located.
