• RESOLUTION NO.O1-26 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING VARIANCE NO. O 1-03 TO REDUCE THE PARKING AND LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SITE LOCATED AT 1418 NORTH MAIN STREET WHEREAS, Variance No. 01-03 came before the Planning Commission for a public hearing on June 11, 2001, to reduce the parking requirement on the site at 1418 North Main Street from 135 to 106, and to reduce the landscape requirement from 1,683 square feet to 1,174 square feet; WHEREAS, Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program for Environmental Review No. 99-104 has been prepared for the Project; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS: 1. Based upon the evidence submitted at the above-said hearing, the Planning Commission finds and determines as follows: • A. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, 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 the Municipal Code; The existence of two buildings on-site and the lack of parking expansion opportunities limit the ability to provide both parking and landscaping in full compliance with the development standards. The approval of a reduction in parking utilizing the Urban Land Institutes accepted methodology allows a mixture of uses to utilize the property. Based on the analysis, parking will be adequate to handle the uses on-site. B. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights; Approval of the parking and landscape variance allows the applicant to utilize the existing buildings and site in a safe manner while providing adequate parking and landscaping for the development site. C. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property; •
