The Zoning Administrator of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. Minor Exception No. 2002-01 came before the Zoning Administrator of the City of Santa Ana for a public hearing on April 3, 2002. B. Minor Exception No. 2002-01 has been filed with the City of Santa Ana seeking to permit a four and 1/2 foot fence in the front yard for the property located at 416 South Pacific Avenue. • C. The Zoning Administrator determines that the following findings, which must be established in order to grant a minor exception from the provisions of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, have been established: That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this chapter. Due to the close proximity to a heavily traveled intersection and the associated noise and traffic generated as a result, a fence slightly above the code requirement is warranted at this location. 2. That the granting of a variance or minor exception is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. The granting of Minor Exception No. 2002-01 will preserve and secure the rights of the property owner. The existing fence, as built, can only be reduced to a maximum height of 38 inches • due to the configuration of existing masonry blocks. In this instance, the fence will remain closer to compliance with the Resolution No. 2002-12 Page 1 of 3 • code and not cause undue economic hardship on the property owner to reduce the height of the as built fence. 3. That the granting of a variance or minor exception will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property. The fence material is consistent with existing neighborhood fences. The fence will not be detrimental or injurious to surrounding properties. 4. That the granting of a variance or minor exception will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City. The requested minor exception will not adversely affect the General Plan, as it does not conflict with the goals and policies expressed in that document. D. Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. 02-125 will be filed for this project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act. Section 2. The Zoning Administrator of the City of Santa Ana after conducting the public hearing hereby approves Minor Exception No. 2002-01. ADOPTED this ~~'day of April 2002.
