3. Will the move or relocation of the residential structure comply with <br />the regulations and conditions specified in the zoning district in <br />which the affected lot or parcel is situated? <br />The project is in compliance with the use and development <br />standards established for the Single family Residential (R-1) <br />zone. The relocated structure is within the maximum <br />building height allowed for the zone, meets the building <br />setback and frontage requirements, and proposes parking to <br />be located in the rear of the lot. <br />4. Will approval of the permit adversely affect the general plan of the <br />city, or any specific plan of the city applicable to the lot or parcel on <br />which the residential structure is proposed to be moved or <br />relocated? <br />The relocation is consistent with the General Plan land use <br />designation of Low Density Residential. The existing house <br />and proposed two-car garage are appraximately 1,433 <br />square feet and will be located on a 5,000 square foot lot, <br />resulting in 28.6 percent lot coverage. The project is also <br />consistent with the City's General Plan goals to provide <br />affordable housing opportunities (Housing Element Goal 4). <br />E. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-194(h) requires that the rear yard <br />for a second dwelling unit shall be a minimum of ten {10} feet. <br />A. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638 authorizes the Zoning <br />Administrator to grant a minor exception upon making certain findings. <br />1. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject <br />property, including size, shape, topography, location, or <br />surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found <br />to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at variance <br />with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this chapter, <br />The legally created lot is smaller than the standard 6,000 <br />square foot at 50-feet wide by only 100-feet long. In order to <br />meet the setback requirements for the main house while also <br />meeting the separation requirements for the detached garage <br />there was insufficient room to move the garage forward to <br />meet the 10-foot rear yard setback requirement for the <br />proposed second dwelling unit. The unit itself will meet the <br />10-foot rear yard setback requirement, but because it is <br />attached to the garage, the minor exception is required. <br />Resolution No. 2012-05 <br />Page 3 of 7 <br />
