RESOLUTION NO. 2016-xx <br />A RESOLUTION OF THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF <br />THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING MINOR <br />EXCEPTION NO. 2016-02 AS CONDITIONED FOR THE <br />PROPERTY LOCATED AT 5321 WEST FIRST STREET <br />BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF THE CITY OF <br />SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS: <br />Section 1. The Zoning Administrator of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, <br />determines and declares as follows: <br />A. The applicant, Danny Nguyen, is requesting approval of Minor Exception No. <br />2016-02 to allow the installation of an overhead feeder at the property <br />located at 5321 West First Street. <br />B. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) Section 41-626, approval <br />of a minor exception is required to allow an overhead electrical feeder <br />when otherwise required to be placed underground for new developments. <br />C. Minor Exception No. 2016-02 came before the Zoning Administrator of the <br />City of Santa Ana on October 12, 2016, for a duly noticed public hearing. <br />D. For Minor Exception No. 2016-02, the Zoning Administrator of the City of <br />Santa Ana determines that the following findings have been established: <br />1. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject <br />property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, <br />that the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive <br />the subject property of privileges not otherwise at variance with the <br />intent and purpose of the provisions of this Chapter. <br />The project site has a special circumstance related to its location and <br />surroundings. The power pole currently servicing the surrounding <br />residences is at maximum capacity and power from this pole is not <br />feasible; to obtain power from this pole, the owner must upgrade <br />three nearby power poles to allow for increasing capacity. These <br />upgrades will be extremely costly to the applicant and are beyond the <br />typical range of cost experienced by most developers of single-family <br />residences in Santa Ana. <br />2. That the granting of a minor exception is necessary for the <br />preservation and enjoyment of one or more substantial property <br />rights. <br />Resolution No. 2016-xx <br />Page 1 of 5 <br />
