David N. Wilson <br /> <br />2. Area Description: <br /> <br />Property: <br /> <br />An irregular shaped ~orner lot containing appro×imately <br />9,800~ and located at the intersection of ~'a~k Blvd. and <br />Santa Clara Avenue west of Broadway. <br /> <br />B. Surrounding Development: <br /> <br />north - single family residences <br />east - restaurant <br />south - single family residence <br />west - single family residence <br /> <br />C. Street System: <br /> <br />Park Blvd. is a local street, Santa Clara Avenue and Broadway <br />are planned arterial streets. <br /> <br />D. Comparable Applications or Circumstances: <br /> <br />None in the area. <br /> <br />E. Surrounding Zoning: See attached SDM <br /> <br />F. Present Use: <br /> <br />The applicant is presently living in this residence and is <br />using portions of it illegally as a doctor's office for <br />psycho-therapy. <br /> <br />3. General Plan Compatibility: <br /> <br />The General Plan designates the area on the west side of Broadway <br />for low density residential use or 0-8 dwelling units per acre. <br /> <br />'4. Reasons for Staff Recommendation: <br /> <br />The proposed use as an office would be an intrusion into <br />an area that is all residentially zoned and used land. <br />The only commercial in the area is across Broadway to <br />the east and south on Broadway. <br /> <br />Off-street parking as proposed on the site would not be <br />adequate. City Code would require a minimum of 6 off- <br />street parking spaces and required maneuvering area. <br /> <br />C. In the future there will be no curbside parking either <br /> on Santa Clara Avenue or Broadway. <br /> <br />Do <br /> <br />Double uses on property (office and residential) create <br />problems as they are transition uses and are detrimental <br />to existing uses. <br /> <br />General Plan and the existing zoning in the City has <br />established areas for this type of land use and this <br />type of use is not desirable in R 1 single family <br />residential areas. <br /> <br />If the Commission is inclined to approve the application, the <br />Staff recommends that the variance be continued for two weeks <br />so that conditions may be prepared. <br /> <br />COMPLIANCE WITH CEQA PROCEDURES - NEGATIVE DECLARATION <br /> <br />bhm <br /> <br />VA 75-68 Page 2 <br /> <br />EVERETT WINTERS, CHAIRMAN <br />SANTA ANA PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> <br /> <br />
