<br />street frontage (48.5 feet of street frontage), the following findings <br />have been established: <br /> <br />i. That because of special circumstances applicable to the <br />subject property, including size, shape, topography, location, <br />or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning <br />ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of <br />privileges not otherwise at variance with the intent and <br />purpose of the provisions of this chapter. <br /> <br />Special circumstances exist that necessitate a <br />variance for a reduction in street frontage. The <br />driveway is intended to be a secondary access point <br />to the school facilities, which will be located at the <br />rear of the property. As the driveway will be designed <br />to comply with City codes, the granting of a variance <br />is warranted. <br /> <br />ii. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the <br />preservation and enjoyment of one or more substantial <br />property rights. <br /> <br />The granting of the variance for a reduction in street <br />frontage will allow the enjoyment of property rights. <br />Since the school will take secondary access from First <br />Street, and at least one access points is proposed for <br />the office building, a reduction in the required street <br />frontage is warranted. <br /> <br />iii. That the granting of a variance will not be materially <br />detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding <br />property. <br /> <br />The street frontage variance will not be detrimental to <br />the surrounding area as access to both sites will be <br />provided. Additionally, surplus parking will be <br />provided for the school, thereby reducing impacts to <br />surrounding properties. <br /> <br />iv. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the <br />General Plan of the City. <br /> <br />The granting of the variance will not adversely affect <br />the City's General Plan in any way as the land use <br />designation of Professional and Administrative Office <br />(P) encourages development that is well planned. <br /> <br />E. This project was reviewed in accordance with the Guidelines for the <br />California Environmental Quality Act. The recommendation is exempt from <br />further review pursuant to Section 15315. This Class 15 exemption allows <br />the subdivision of four or fewer lots that comply with the General Plan. <br /> <br />Resolution No. 2005-71 <br />Page 3 of 5 <br /> <br />31A-15 <br />
