GAS: 2/17/00 RESOLUTION NO.00-o6 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING VARIANCE NO. 99-08 FOR RELIEF FROM THE LOT FRONTAGE REQUIREMENTS FOR A NEW MEDICAL BUILDING LOCATED AT 5102 WESTMINSTER AVENUE WHEREAS, this Commission held a public hearing on February 28, 2000, on Variance Application No. 99-08, for relief from the lot frontage requirement in the C 1 district, pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-373. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISION OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS: 1. Based upon the evidence submitted at the abovesaid hearing this 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 provision of the chapter. The subject site is a rectangular shaped parcel and, due to its shape, does not meet the minimum lot frontage standard set forth in SAMC Section 41-373. The strict application of the zoning code would prevent development of the parcel thereby leaving two vacant lots landlocked between an existing commercial development and a residential property. Without the variance, the subject property would be denied privileges not otherwise at variance with the intent and purpose of the Code. B. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights; Granting the variance would preserve the property owner's right to develop the landlocked vacant parcels that can meet the commercial development standards and the zoning code requirements with the exception of the lot frontage. The variance provides relief from the minimum lot frontage provision of the code and is necessary to preserve the applicant's property rights. 1
