... an application of zoning varient stuck on a wall on Locust Street -- someone wants to put an awning over their driveway to keep their car from getting wet. ... when I put an exterior light on my garage, should I have applied for a zoning permit to add exterior electricity or something? The awning is a structure and it may affect the ratio of covered land to total land, which is part of the residential code; another similar tool is controlling setbacks. What if the subject awning blocks the morning sun from the neighbors long standing and award winning UC garden? Hypothetically, is it fair to say the property sold at a lower market price because it had inadequate off-street parking, and now the owner seeks to increase his property's utilitarian and market value at the expense of a neighbor's property? Not to mention the awning totally changes the look of the block. How about if the awning will be used to shelter a very large boat all winner. Even UCD would find that visually offensive.
