The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on October 27, 2003, on Variance No. 2003-04, for a reduction in the required rear yard set back for the property located at 1101 West Santa Ana Boulevard. r ~ ~_.J B. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638 authorizes the Planning Commission to grant a variance upon making certain findings. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, that the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this chapter. Due to the size of the lot and the surrounding property uses, the denial of the variance would deprive the property owner the privilege of constructing a quality office development. Additionally, by requiring the required rear yard setback would create a dead end situation for the on-site parking spaces. 2. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. The granting of the variance would allow the property owner the opportunity to develop on a project site that otherwise would not allow a quality office development. Not allowing the variance would force the applicant to construct a smaller and less business friendly office building. • 3. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property. Resolution No. 2003-41 Page 1 of 3
