and determine the following facts:
1. That the petitioner proposes reclassification of subject property from the
Residential/Agricultural Zone to the RS-7200 (Residential, Single-Family) Zone.
2. That the Anaheim General Plan designates subject property for Low Density Residential
land uses, which allows a maximum of up to six dwelling units per acre (i.e., finro dwelling units on subject
0.43-acre property).
3. That the proposed reclassification of subject property is not necessary nor desirable for the
orderly and proper development of the community.
4. That the proposed reclassification of subject property does not properly relate to the zones
and their permitted uses locally established in close proximity to subject property and to the zones and their
permitted uses generally established throughout the community.
5. That the proposed reclassification is denied on the basis that the concurrent petitions for
three lots (Variance No. 2001-04432 and Tentative Parcel Map No. 2000-211) exceed the maximum density
permitted by the Low Density Residential land use designation (i.e., finro dwelling units on subject 0.43-acre
property) and do not comply with the minimum lot area and width standards of the Zoning Code.
6. That there are no special circumstances applicable to this property because the property
is rectangularly-shaped, has a flat topography and is similar to other surrounding properties which also
face Orangewood Avenue.
7. That the petitioner could comply with the land use designation of the General Plan by
eliminating most of the waivers and reducing the number of lots from three to two.
8. That the proposed lots are out of character with the other lots on this block face.
