The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, <br />determines and declares as follows: <br />A. Applicant is requesting approval of Minor Exception No. 2005-06 a solid six- <br />foot tall fence within the front yard setback, which exceeds the 36-inch <br />maximum height for front yard fences on non-arterial streets, for the property <br />located at 2022 North Heliotrope. <br />B. Minor Exception No. 2005-06 came before the Zoning Administrator of the <br />City of Santa Ana for a public hearing on July 27, 2005. After conducting <br />• the public hearing, the Zoning Administrator referred the item to the <br />Planning Commission pursuant to Santa Municipal Code Section 41-641. <br />C. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on Minor Exception No. <br />2005-06 on August 22, 2005. <br />D. Section 41-610 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code contains the wall and <br />fence requirements, including limiting the front yard fence height to 36 <br />inches, and limiting the solid portion of walls and fences to 18 inches. <br />E. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638 authorizes the Planning <br />Commission to grant a Minor Exception upon making certain findings <br />which have not been established. <br />1. Will the proposed use provide a service or facility which will <br />contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or the <br />community? <br />There are no special circumstances applicable to the subject <br />property where the strict interpretation 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 the zoning code. This is a <br />• typical !ot with no unique site features that warrant a fence <br />above code requirements. <br />Resolution No. 2005-66 <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />
