designed to be compatible with the surrounding <br />• environment are consistent with the goals and <br />objectives of the Industrial (lND) General Plan <br />designation. <br />D. Variance No. 2009-04 has been filed seeking an increase to 63 feet in <br />height for the monopine. <br />Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638 authorizes the Planning <br />Commission to grant a variance upon making certain findings. <br />That because of special circumstances applicable to the <br />subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or <br />surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is <br />found to deprive the subject property of privileges not <br />otherwise at variance with the intent and purpose of the <br />provisions of this chapter. <br />Special circumstances exist because the subject <br />property already hosts an existing 60-foot <br />monopine and there are no feasible alternative <br />properties that can meet the coverage <br />• requirements. In addition, adding a second <br />monopine would require the loss of additional <br />parking spaces on the subject site. The City <br />also encourages co-location of wireless facilities. <br />That the granting of a variance is necessary for the <br />preservation and enjoyment of one or more substantial <br />property rights. <br />This facility will fill an existing coverage gap using the <br />least intrusive means possible. Extending the <br />monopine an additional three feet will result in the least <br />impact on the subject site and the area. It will provide <br />reliable wireless coverage to the citizens and <br />businesses of Santa Ana. <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 />A three-foot extension of the monopine is the less <br />intrusive means of providing needed coverage and <br />capacity for wireless customers. <br />• Resolution No. 2009-19 <br />Page 3 of 10 <br />
