I am writing to you today pertaining the conditional use
permit application for 4149 Clydesdale Court CUP, File 17-
469. I understand that two families would like to live together
in this single family home. While I think these families appear
to be nice families, I’m just not sure our zoning ordinance
needs to be changed or a project specific change needs to
happen to accommodate them. I think allowing this permit
would allow other conditional use permits that would be
detrimental to the neighborhood like a sober living house for
example. This type of CUP in Costa Mesa, CA PA-16-04
allows a sober living home with up to 13 occupants who are
unrelated in a residential neighborhood. The people who
occupy these homes are living there for treatment or
recovery due to drug and alcohol addiction. While these two
CUP’s might be very different from each other, if allowed it
opens the door to many more CUP’s to accommodate
peoples needs. The city needs to ask themselves:
• Is the site adequate in size and shape to
accommodate two large families?
• Is the site adequate to handle the quantity and
kind of vehicular traffic that would generate in
such a small cul-de-sac and with different
weather patterns?
• Overburden water and sewer services?
• Add noise and congestion?
• Would it devalue or lower property values for the
surrounding residents?
Therefore, I personally feel that this project, as
proposed, is not compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood. I believe that the intensity of the
use is too high. Please carefully consider some
of these questions when making your decision.
Thankyou, Robert and Robin Jansen
