None.
BACKGROUND:
On December 4, 2007, the Board of Supervisors granted a variance permit authorizing a
25-foot high, 700-square foot accessory structure on top of an existing detached garage
located at 611 Riverview Place, Bethel Island (APN 031-102-046). The property is located
in a Water Recreational (F-1) zoning district. In that district, no accessory building may
exceed 600 square feet of floor area coverage on lots greater than 20,000 square feet, and no
accessory structure may exceed 15 feet in height. The variance authorized a 10-foot height
variance and a 100-square-foot floor area coverage variance.

Subject:Rescission of Approval of Variance Permit for Addition to Accessory Structure, File #VR06-1069 (Reids
Applicant & Owners)
permit was filed
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
in Contra Costa County Superior Court on February 28, 2008. (Heffelfinger, et al. v. County
of Contra Costa, et. al, Case No. N08-0312). The Court granted the petition, finding that the
administrative record did not contain evidence that the property at 611 Riverview Place was
unique in such a way that a variance was necessary to bring the property to the level of use
enjoyed by nearby properties in the same F-1 zone. The Court issued a writ directing the
County to rescind the Board’s decision to grant the variance permit.
The recommended action will result in the County’s compliance with the writ.
