Anderson Commercial Vehicle Storage Minor Use Permit and Retaining Wall and Garage Side Setback Variance, PLN25-00378

Project PLN25-00378, managed by the Placer County Community Development Resource Agency, involves a request for a Minor Use Permit and Variance for a property located at 5003 Thomas Drive, Auburn, California. The primary objective is to obtain legal approval for the storage of a 30-foot by eight-foot commercial vehicle within a parcel zoned for Residential Single-Family use. Additionally, the project seeks a variance to construct a 1,534 square-foot garage and retaining walls exceeding four feet in height, allowing these structures to be positioned six feet from the west side property line instead of the standard 30-foot requirement. The project is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act and has been issued a Notice of Exemption under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15303 and 15305, as well as Placer County Code Sections 18.36.050 and 18.36.070, due to the small scale of the construction and the minor nature of the land use adjustments. The entitlement and action date for these approvals is recorded as August 20, 2026.
