Carlton, �. City Attorney, Redding, California Dear I4�r. Carlton: ' I_ have beexi instructed by, the Planning. Commission to request an opinion from the City Attorne,y_.regarding certain provisions .of Ordinance ;#366, referred to as "Subdivision Lavr.'t, A difference of opinion and iriterpretation has arisen, particularly in regard to 'Yre-subdi.'vions'r of accepted, subdivisions; wherein an owner of _two lots in an accepted subdivision, and zone,d as 9��f' or f irst resideritial, V�ishes to divide the lots and face the dwellings � the opposite direction, or on the street that is �arallel... with the � original lots. . �or:z� members of the Commission are of the oninion that if an owner of two lots, one. of which abutts on �two streets, or is a ccrner lot, builds a dwellinb across the, dividin�; property lzne h� has by such action lirr�ited the use or occupancy of the two lots • to one dwelling. �ther rnembers af the Corr�mission are of the � opinion that under S`ectlon. 1361, Exceptions �l, � oi Ordinance. 366, �e is_per:nitted to build two dwellings on such t�nTo lots and face one or both on the- street that was parallel with the original lots. , Tt is, of course, proper. that an otaner of two �lots; one� of wh'ich ab�tts on twa streets,� to sell one half of each lot. The. pointys that need clarif,icatiori are: ; : �1. " If��an owner has 'two lots, one of which is one a corner of � ari accepted subdivision, sells one half of each lot, is he r�- qizirea to file a rnap of survey and obtain the approval of Planr_- zn�. Commission and City Council? .�2. If an; owner of two. lots on,e of which is on an aceepted� sub-� division, Zone "A'P, applies for and receives a buildin�; permzt to b.uild, ,and constructs a- dwellin� across the dividing property line-;:9 then°�sub�s�quently requests a perm�it to. build another dwelling, � should such request be refused until a map of survey is filed and planning Commis'sion and Council approve such resubdivision map? f�3 . Is the ternl "Goverizing Body'� in Section 1361, Exception -��1, Ordinance 366, construed to mean .the City Council, or Planning Commission and City Council? �1�, �re the improvements requir.ed in Orda.naLzce ��3ob requi:rec� �vhere- in a 're-subdivision is made, within an accepted subdivision? , Thankin�; you in advance for an opinion clarifyir.g the abcve, I am � � Respect.fully yours, � � � /s/ F. W. HaYba�.l, Secretary City of �edding Plannin� Commission _ Letter of Reply - August 16, 195�- . i�ir. F. ti�T. Hayball, Secretary Planning Commission . City Hall, Redding, Califo , Dear Floyd: � Referenc.� is made to your letter of August 13th and to the in- quiries of the planning conimission. In summarizing our conferene� pertaining �to �these inquiries, our views are as follows: . 1. The �°governm�nt body't menti.oned in Section 1361 of the Code r�fers to the �City Council; � 1 . ���� 2. ?°�ith respect to the last inquiries, it is our view that the ordinance does not contemplate a r�-subdivision of an existing - subdivision that has been partially built up, but assuming that such procedure were in order, we believe that Section 137o� of . ' the Code would permit �he City Council to permit deviation�s from the n�cessi�:g of contructin�; improvements, 3 . . With respect to the oth�r two inquiries, it is our' view that� the subdivision latid contemplates,. and tYiat ,also th� impli,ed ,c'on- tract between the parties who purchase in a subdivision con-- templates, that dwellin�s. will be built in accore�ance with the subdivision: plan; . tnus9 only one dwellin� house can be built ;ori '. e'ach lot in the areas,that you describe, and th� granting of :any'' variance from such li.mi�;ations would be contrary to the. original plan of the subdivision and tne intent of the subdiviciers. We' find nothing in the ordinance which authorizes the Council to per- rnit such variations and w� call attention to the fact tnat this is not the ordinary ttvariance�� from a zoning lav1, but the partic-. ular pro,blem under discussion relates to maps which have been � filed by subdividers> _ The zoning law provides for variance, which is standard .procedure. It appears to us that where a house has ' been constructed on a� portion of two lots that there. is an ob- sen�e of authority presently to permit the owner,. to al�er the . ` original subdivision d"esi:�n �.� as to lacate another hou�e ar ' - any portion thereof an such lot. It is our belief that where - � one house is constructed on portions of tv:ro lots that such i�ous°e' has preernpted. both lots for dwelling purpases. This. appears to be in accordarice with t'ne intent of a subdivision plan which usually provides the size and dimensions of lots and their loca- tion, the set-backs, etc. To permit a house and a half to be ' located on one lot and vary the origi:�al intent of the subdivi�er �ay have an adverse effect on other parties in the neighborhood. It, �is, real'izecl ,that under certain circumstances the application of this rule �is unfair and unjusta This frequently happens when. laws are inflexible. jt�'e understand that this is a problem which - ' is recurrin� from time to tim� ir.i Reddinge It is our suggestion that� if the problem is a serious one it might be advisable to. amend the subdiv'ision� law� so as to give the City Council and Flanning- Commission authority :to �rant variances from the original' de'sign . contemplated by the subdivision. Ude believe that in order for any such vari�nces .to be valid that a11. of the property owners �in the � subdivision would have to consent tneretoa � Yours very truly, /s/ Daniel S. Carlton . City Attorney ' � This subject was ref�rred ta Councilman ��illiarris and Councilman Holyfield to work wi.th th e Planning Commission for their recommend- ations. ` � GUEST HOUSES � ' �+�fayor Sirnons appointed Councilmen Holyfield and '�Jilliams to work with the Planning Co�nmission on their recommendation for guest houses.
