ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT NO. 95-3 filed by the City of Santa Ana to establish guidelines for potential conversions and enlargements of single family housing units. (Kenneth Adams) RECOMMENDATION: Recommend that the City Council approve Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 95-3. Mr. Kenneth Adams, Planning Manager, provided an overview of Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 95-3. He indicated this item is to provide policy direction regarding expansions of single family dwelling units. For the past eight years, staff has been discouraging the construction of additions to unite which readily lend themselves to conversions. This Zoning Ordinance Amendment will allow the Planning Manager on an individual basis to deny or approve the requested expansions. However, the decision may be appealed to the Planning Commission for final determination. ' Chairman Mondo asked why there was a need for an ordinance and could a policy statement regarding the Commission's position of potential single family conversions suffice. Mr. Richard Lay, Assistant City Attorney, stated that the ordinance addressing the issue would provide a stronger legal basis for staff action. A written policy simply did not have the same legal status of an adopted ordinance. Commissioner Nalle moved to approve Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 95-3. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Brown. AYES: Mondo, Brown, Nalle, Pedroza, and Segura NOES: None ABSENT: Doughty and Oliver 2
