PLN25-00394 Jonas-Maciel/Domenici Single-Family Dwelling Side Setback Variance

Project PLN25-00394 involves a request for a variance by Jonas-Maciel/Domenici to allow the construction of a 3,116-square-foot single-family dwelling on Poppy Way in the unincorporated Colfax area of Placer County, California. The primary purpose of the variance is to permit the structure to be built ten feet from the south side property line, deviating from the standard 30-foot side setback requirement. The Placer County Community Development Resource Agency is the lead agency overseeing the project, with Claudia Garcia serving as the primary technician and point of contact. The project is categorized as exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act CEQA Guidelines Sections 15303 and 15305, as well as Placer County Code Sections 18.36.050 and 18.36.070. These exemptions apply because the project involves the new construction of a small structure and minor land use alterations that do not create new parcels. A formal Notice of Exemption was issued on January 22, 2026, and the Zoning Administrator is required to make a finding that the project remains categorically exempt from further environmental review.
