The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, <br />determines and declares as follows: <br /> <br />A. On February 14, 2001, Planning Commission approved Variance No. <br />2005-01 for a reduction in the front and side yard setback requirements to <br />facilitate the construction of a new office building at 801 North Ross <br />Street. The project involved construction of a 2,660 square foot single- <br />story office building with three-foot setbacks on Ross Street and Civic Center <br />Drive. The Planning Commission determined that the building was <br />compatible with the existing pattern of development along Civic Center <br />Drive and approved the variance <br /> <br />B. The applicant now seeks an amendment of Variance No. 2005-01. The <br />applicant has revised the building design to a two-story building totaling <br />4,166 square feet. The building will maintain the same setback on Civic <br />Center Drive and will increase the landscape setback along Ross Street <br />from the previously approved three-foot setback to nine feet <br /> <br />C. On June 27,2005 Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing <br />on the amendment of Variance No. 2005-01 <br /> <br />D. The Planning Commission determines that for the amendment to Variance <br />No. 2005-01 the following findings, which must be established pursuant to <br />Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638 in order to grant a variance <br />from the provisions of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, have been <br />established: <br /> <br />1. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject <br />property, including size, shape, topography, location, or <br />surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found <br />to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at <br />variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this <br />chapter. <br /> <br />31A-19 <br /> <br />Resolution No. 2005-20 <br />Page 1 of 4 <br />
