<br />RESOLUTION NO. 97-23 <br />GASH IO/24/9) <br />A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION <br />OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING <br />VARIANCE NO. 97-13 TO ALLOW A VARIANCE <br />FROM THE ZONING CODE FOR A DRIVEWAY AT <br />817 EAST FIRST STREET TO BE LOCATED <br />WITHIN 150 FEET OF AN INTERSECTION <br />WHEREAS, this Commission held a public hearing on October 27, <br />1997, on Variance Application No. 97-13, to allow a variance from <br />zoning code standards for a driveway to be located within 150 feet <br />of an intersection in an Arterial Commercial (C5) zone for a <br />business located at 817 East First Street; <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF <br />THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS: <br />1. Variance No. 97-13 is hereby granted for the driveway at <br />817 East First Street with respect to the following items. <br />a. Relief from Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-428 <br />to allow a driveway within 150 feet of any street <br />intersection corner radius. <br />2. With respect to the variance item approved in section 1 of <br />this Resolution, and based upon the evidence submitted at the <br />abovesaid hearing, this Commission finds and determines as follows: <br />A. That because of special circumstances applicable to the <br />subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or <br />surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is <br />found to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise <br />at variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this <br />chapter. <br />The shallow depth and linear nature of the site necessitates <br />two driveways on First Street in order to resolve on-site <br />circulation and design conflicts as well as minimize on-site and <br />street traffic conflicts. This condition exists with any type of <br />development of this property. <br />B. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the <br />preservation and enjoyment of one or more substantial property <br />rights; <br />The variance resolves circulation conflicts that exist on this <br />site regardless of the development proposal and ensures a <br />development compatible to others in the area. <br />C~' <br />1 <br />
