RESOLUTION NO. 80-133 VARIANCE APPLICATION NO. 80-22 REPORT DATE: Staff: 5/21/80 Commission: 5/27/80 6/9/80 APPLICANT: Tom's Towing and Truck Repair (George Heidler) ADDRESS & ZONING: llO1 E. Sixth Street AP 9-152-22 M 1 District SDM 7-5-9 VA PURPOSE: To allow storage of wrecked and inoperable vehicles in the M 1 District. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Denial FINDINGS IN COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 41-638 OF THE SANTA ANA MUNICIPAL CODE: a) That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the subject prop- erty of privileges not otherwise at variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this chapter. The subject property has no special circumstances relating to size, shape, topography, location or surroundings which would deprive the applicant of privileges not otherwise at variance with the Santa Ana Municipal Code. The subject site may be developed consistent with M 1 District requirements and be compatible with the prevailing trend of development on adjacent prop- erties. In addition, the parcel would be inad6quate for development of the proposed project owing to size limitations which would restrict proper storage, parking and access. b) That the granting of a variance or minor exception is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. The property owner may maintain and operate a number of uses in compliance with zoning and, as such, is not deprived of the preservation and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. c) That the granting of a variance or minor exception will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property. The subject proposal will be materially detrimental to surrounding prop- erties in that it would be incompatible with existing and planned develop- ment of adjacent properties aimed at upgrading the neighborhood consistent with M 1 District requirements. d) That the granting of a variance or minor exception will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City. The subject proposal is inconsistent with the General Plan in that the sub- ject property is designated for Parks, Recreational and Open Space uses.
