Estes Shop Front Edge of Road Easement Setback Variance (PLN25-00195)

Project PLN25-00195 involves a request for a variance by the Placer County Community Development Resource Agency regarding a partially constructed 1,800 square-foot shop accessory structure located at 1940 Little Creek Road in the unincorporated Auburn area of Placer County, California. The applicant is seeking approval to locate the structure 27 feet from the front, southwest, edge of the road easement, which is a deviation from the standard requirement of 50 feet. The project is categorized as exempt from environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15303 and 15305, as well as Placer County Code Sections 18.36.050 and 18.36.070, due to the nature of the construction as a small structure and the minor alterations in land use limitations. The entitlement action for this variance was dated October 23, 2025, and is managed by technician Claudia Garcia.
