LS 03.28.16 <br />RESOLUTION NO. 2016-13 <br />A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF <br />THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING VARIANCE NO. <br />2016-02 AS CONDITIONED TO ALLOW A REDUCTION IN <br />STREET FRONTAGE FOR THE HUYNH COMMERCIAL <br />BUILDING TO BE LOCATED AT 5105 WEST FIRST <br />STREET <br />BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF <br />SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS: <br />Section 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, <br />determines and declares as follows: <br />A. The Applicant is requesting approval of Variance No. 2016-02 to allow a <br />reduction in the minimum street frontage required for a commercial <br />development proposed at 5105 West First Street. <br />B. Pursuant to Section 41-373 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), a <br />commercial property in the General Commercial (C2) zoning district is <br />required to have a minimum street frontage of 120 feet. <br />C. Variance No. 2016-02 came before the Planning Commission of the City <br />of Santa Ana on March 28, 2016 for a duly noticed public hearing to <br />reduce the required street frontage to ninety (90) feet for the building to be <br />located at 5105 West First Street. <br />D. The Planning Commission determines that for Variance No. 2016-02 the <br />following findings, which must be established pursuant to Santa Ana <br />Municipal Code (SAMC) Section 41-638 in order to grant a variance from <br />the provision of the Santa Ana Municipal Code have been established: <br />1. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject <br />property, including size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings, <br />the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the <br />subject property of privileges not otherwise at variance with the intent <br />and purpose of the provisions of this chapter. <br />The project site contains a special circumstance related to its <br />size, shape and location. Due to the unique location of the site <br />along a primary arterial street and its placement between two <br />established land uses, the built out conditions adjacent to the <br />parcel makes it infeasible for the applicant to obtain additional <br />land to meet the minimum street frontage standard. <br />Resolution No. 2016-13 <br />Page 1 of 5 <br />
