<br />Variance No. 2005-25 <br />August 22, 2005 <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />The property has historically been vacant primarily due to the size of <br />the parcel. Because of the limited lot size, it has been impractical to <br />achieve a viable and quality design for any type of development. <br />However, the proposed project meets the intent of the zoning code and <br />the General Plan Land Use Element. <br /> <br />Setback Variance <br /> <br />The proposed building setback along Second Street varies from 10 feet to <br />19 feet and from 5 feet to 11 feet along Olive Street. The proposed <br />building is 20 feet wide and 51 feet deep. Due to the limited lot size <br />and configuration, it is not feasible to construct a building to meet the <br />current setback and landscape standards. <br /> <br />The proposed parking lot complies with the current setback standards. The <br />applicant proposes to preserve the existing olive tree at the corner of <br />Second and Olive Street as well as install new landscaping materials <br />within the front and side yard setback areas. Staff recommends that the <br />required trees be upgraded to a 36-inch box size and shrubs to a five- <br />gallon size throughout the project to compensate for the reduced landscape <br />setbacks. <br /> <br />Landscaping Variance <br /> <br />The second variance request is to allow a reduction in required <br />landscaping on the west side of the proposed building. Section 41-317 and <br />319 require a five-foot landscape planter around and abutting the building <br />and a planter for every 10 parking spaces provided. Due to the small lot <br />size, the applicant is unable to meet this standard. As an alternative, <br />the applicant proposes to provide a one-foot planter that will contain <br />California Gray Rush (Juncus Patens). This plant material is recommended <br />to be planted between stones and pebbles to soften the appearance of the <br />hard surface and provide a buffer between the building wall and the <br />concrete driveway. <br /> <br />Loading Space Variance <br /> <br />Pursuant to Section 41-1305 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, a 10-foot by <br />25-foot loading space is required for the building. Due to size and <br />configuration of the parcel, it is not feasible to accommodate the loading <br />zone requirement. Since the building contains only 1,480 square feet of <br />area, delivery of supplies is not anticipated to cause any impact to the <br />public street. A condition of approval is recommended to restrict the <br />delivery hours to before 9:00 a.m. or after 5:00 p.m. to avoid any <br />potential conflict in the parking area. <br />31C-4 <br />
