RE: Administrative Determination AD26-000003 – 4301 Idaho Ave.
Dear Mr. Khan,
I have reviewed your request for an administrative approval of a setback reduction to 16
feet for your proposed RV garage to be located at 4301 Idaho Ave. The lot in question is
zoned R-1, Neighborhood Residential; per Caldwell City Code 10-05-04 the parcel has a
required minimum rear setback of 20 feet.
After reviewing the surrounding area, it appears that there are several nearby properties
with detached accessory structures with similar setbacks and the reduction would not
negatively impact the character of the surrounding area. Additionally, the Future Land Use
Map identifies this parcel as within the Community Center place-type, which is compatible
with zones that require only 10-15 foot rear setbacks.
Per Caldwell City Code 10-01-02-2, the minimum rear yard setback may be reduced with a
Director’s administrative determination by 20%. Having reviewed your application, I find
that the request for a reduced setback of 16 feet is warranted and your application is
hereby approved with the following condition:
1. A detached accessory building, structure, or use shall not exceed twenty-two feet
(22') in height in the R-1 zone.
Please note that a building permit is still required and all other planning, building, fire, and
engineering requirements will still need to be met during that process.
Sincerely,
Morgan Bessaw
Deputy Director of Community Development
