Residential Relocation Permit No. 2009-01 came before the Zoning Administrator of the City of Santa Ana for a duly noticed public hearing on September 9, 2009. • C. The proposed site at 826 North Lacy Street is 7,500 square feet in size and is presently vacant. The land uses surrounding the subject property include a mixture of single family and multiple family residences to the north, south, east and west. D. The proposal is to relocate the 1,693 square foot one-story residence from 501-501'/2 East Fifth Street in Santa Ana to a new location near the southwest corner of Lacy Street and Vance Street within the historic French Park Neighborhood. The Whitson-Powelson residence was originally built in 1903 in the Queen Anne (Late Victorian) architectural style. E. The Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-620 requires all residential structures proposed to be relocated in Santa Ana to obtain a residential relocation permit. To grant such a permit, the Zoning Administrator shall make findings relative to the value, size and quality of the relocated residence and that the residence will not have a negative impact on the immediate neighborhood. F. The project is in compliance with the General Plan land use designation of Low Density Residential (LR-7) with a maximum of seven dwelling units per acre. In addition, the project is consistent with the SD-19 zoning district with regards to permitted uses and development standards. The • required minimum 6,000 square foot lot size, 50 feet of lot frontage, 20- foot front yard, and five-foot side yard setbacks are provided. The Resolution No. 2009-09 Page 1 of 5 • proposed structures will result in a total lot coverage of 29 percent, well below the 50 percent allowed in the SD-19 zoning district. The repair and rehabilitation of the residence is also consistent with Historic French Park Design Guidelines, as well the federal Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitations to exterior modifications for historic structures. G. The staff report dated September 9, 2009, together with all testimony public and official presented in relation to this matter, is hereby incorporated herein as though fully set forth. H. The Zoning Administrator determines that the following findings have been established: 1. The residential structure proposed to be moved or relocated is comparable in value, size, (square footage of livable floor space, excluding porches, breezeways and garages), structural quality, type of construction, design, appearance, and overall physical upkeep and condition, to residences located in the area adjacent to, or in the immediate vicinity of, the lot or parcel on which the residential structure is proposed to be moved or relocated. The size, structural quality, type of construction and • appearance of the relocated structure will be comparable and complimentary to the adjacent and surrounding residences within the historic French Park neighborhood. The exterior of the structure will be rehabilitated and repaired to preserve its historic integrity. Interior and exterior improvements will be made to convert the 1,693 square foot structure back to a single family residential structure. Anew two-car garage is proposed to be constructed to serve the residence and current parking standards, architecturally compatible with the main structure. The location of the residence in the front of the lot with the garage in the rear and served off the alley is consistent with the current development pattern in the neighborhood. 2. That moving or relocation of the residential structure will not be detrimental, decrease or diminish the value of real properties located adjacent to, or in the immediate vicinity of, the lot or parcel on which the residential structure is proposed to be moved or relocated. Relocating the residence will contribute positively to the neighborhood. The overall quality and design of the Resolution No. 2009-09 Page 2 of 5 • residence will be consistent with the existing neighborhood. The in-fill development of the newly placed and renovated house will add to the overall aesthetic character of the immediate vicinity. 3. That the move or relocation of the residential structure will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in the zoning district in which the affected lot or parcel is situated. The project is in compliance with all of the residential district's standards and requirements for single family residences. In addition, conditions will ensure all proper permits and clearances are obtained prior to relocation. 4. That approval of the permit will not adversely affect the general plan of the city, or any specific plan of the city applicable to the lot or parcel on which the residential structure is proposed to be moved or relocated. The project, an existing duplex to relocated and converted • back to a single family residence, is consistent with the General Plan designation of Low Density Residential, seven dwelling units per acre. The project is also consistent with the City's General Plan goals to preserve historic resources and provide affordable housing opportunities (Housing Element Goal 3 and Goal 4, respectively). Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed project has been determined to be a Categorical Exemption per section 15301 as a restoration or rehabilitation of a deteriorated or damaged structure, and per section 15332 as an in-fill development project consistent with the General Plan and adequately served by utility/public services. Environmental Review No. 2009-119 will be filed for this project. Section 3.
