q 0q,
As authorized by Cection 41-608 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), the Planning
Manager/Zoning Astrator has made the following determination regarding the general yard
requirements foriviera Drive due to the unique circumstances of the property. This
determination for a general yard requirement is in response to the proposed single -story expansion
of approximately 740 square feet. The scope of the project includes the relocation of the existing
two -car garage with the addition of a storage area, an enlarged master bedroom and bath, a new
pantry area and laundry room, and an additional bathroom (see attached site plans).
1. The North Flower Street frontage shall be considered the front yard setback. Note, the required
front yard for any new building or alteration to an existing building shall be not less than the
arithmetical average of the front yards existing on 40 percent or more of the lots along said
block (SAMC 41-603(b)(2)).
2. The Riviera Drive frontage shall be considered the side yard. Given the location of the garage
with access off Riviera, it is recommended that a minimum 22-feet setback be provided. This
setback will accommodate the minimum requirement for a 20-feet driveway length leading to a
garage and maintain the prevailing setback along Riviera Drive.
3. The southerly property line shall be considered the rear yard setback with a minimum 10-feet
setback maintained. A minimum 12,000 square feet of open space shall be provided in
conjunction with the rear yard area.
4. The easterly property line shall be considered the side yard setback with a minimum 5-feet
setback.
This determination is in harmony with the purpose and intent of Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana
Municipal Code to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the community.
