Planning Commission - Pine Place Road Exception Request (SP-24-04)

This project consists of a setback exception along the entirety of Pine Place Road north of the unincorporated community of Happy Camp. The right-of-way for Pine Place Road is only 40 feet wide. Therefore, the required 50-foot setback from the centerline results in a setback of 30 feet from the property line of all the properties along Pine Place Road. Due to the small parcel sizes of many properties along Pine Place Road, the setback 30 feet from the property line has the potential to hamper rebuilding of homes and accessory structures in this neighborhood from the Slater Fire. The exception is proposed to be specific to the 50-foot setback from the centerline of the Pine Place Road right-of-way. The 20-foot setback from the property line is not proposed to change and would still remain. Additionally, the subdivision map that created the Indian Creek Subdivision (Town Map Book 3, Pages 1 and 1-A), proscribed a 25-foot setback from the property lines adjacent to both Pine Place Road and Indian Creek Road. Therefore, the exception of the 50-foot centerline would still result in a setback of 25-feet from the property lines of properties along Pine Place Road.
