Along with the <br />application for a Tentative Tract Map, the applicant also requested several variances for deviation <br />from the Santa Ana Municipal Code in order to construct the development. The variance requests <br />applied to the minimum lot width requirement, side yard setbacks, rear yard setbacks and the <br />separation requirement between residential structures. The Planning Commission made no <br />changes to the recommendation outlined in the attached staff report (Exhibit A). <br />DISCUSSION <br />The applicant, Steven Jones, representing Rocky Ly Diamond LLC., is proposing to subdivide an <br />existing 0.86 acre parcel into nine parcels to facilitate the construction of a new nine -unit single <br />family detached condominium development. Each of the nine proposed parcels will provide a <br />single-family residential structure. The proposed structures are three-bedroom, two -and -half <br />bathroom, two -car garage residences that average 1,812 square feet in size. Based on a review <br />of the tentative tract map by the Planning Division, Orange County Fire Authority, and Public <br />Works Agency, the project has been designed to be in compliance with the applicable <br />development standards found in Chapter 34 (Subdivision) and 41 (Zoning) of the Santa Ana <br />Municipal Code and applicable R-2 zoning district requirements, and also in compliance with all <br />applicable state codes. <br />32A-1 <br />
