Levesque Garage Side Setback Variance (PLN25-00009)

Project PLN25-00009, managed by the Placer County Community Development Resource Agency, involves a request for a variance to allow the construction of an approximately 1,200 square-foot detached garage at 600 Canyon Drive in Auburn, California. The variance seeks approval for two specific setback reductions: a street-side setback of 18 feet from the road easement along the eastern property line, where 30 feet is typically required, and a 35-foot setback from the centerline of the intermittent stream along the western property line, where 50 feet is typically required. The project is categorically exempt from environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15303 and 15305, as well as Placer County Environmental Review Ordinance Sections 18.36.050 and 18.36.070, due to the small size of the structure and the minor nature of the land use alterations. The entitlement action for this variance was processed on October 23, 2025, with Claudia Garcia serving as the primary technician and point of contact for the agency.
