ZONING ADMINISTRATOR DECISION N0.98-20 rctmArtres: Annii<a santalahti, Coning Administrator approved Variance No. 4343 with additional conditions. The adjacent land uses and zoning are single family residential and noted that along the south property line that although there is a block wall for approximately two thirds of the way back from Harbor Blvd. the rear portion of the property where the garage is -there is a wooden fence up on the neighboring property. Code does require a 6 ft. tilock wall between commercial and a residential use. The block wall needs to be continued along the property line back to the alley. Mr. Apeles replied that he will complete the fence with a block wall (1. That the condition regarding the operation in accordance with the parking analysis that was submitted and approved by the city. 2. Require that the block wall along the south property line be continued to the edge of the public right-of- way along the alley so that there is a continuance blockwall along the south property line to buffer the residential use to the south. 3. Conditioned that a small sign in the range of approximately 3 sq. ft. maximum at the back of the building to identify the name of the business, and address so that people know where they are going when they drive along the alley.) The Zoning Administrator states that the current conditions pertain to trash enclosures. Dave See, Associate ZA073098.WP 0'7/30/98 Page i Planner, stated that the Streets and Sanitation Division indicated that trash barrels would be acceptable for this use, provided they are hidden from view in an appropriate location and that they will review final plan prior to permits. Selma Mann, Deputy Ciry Attorney noted that because of the fashion of the parking which was approved by Traffic Engineering for the specific use proposed with the employee count would be appropriate and that we add another condition. Basically a condition that states "Granting of this variance shall be deemed contingent upon operation of the use in conformance with the assumptions relating to the operation etc. as contained in the traffic analysis letter that you submitted, the reason for that is, if another doctor came in such as a veterinarian the parking situation might be viewed differently by the city because of the way the customer count could take place so we want to make sure that this medical clinic operates the way that the letter states its going to operate and continues in that fashion because that is the reason for the variance potentially being approved and if for instance something changes and you wanted two doctors and two nurses you would have to come back to the Ciry and get that worked out in an appropriate fashion so that the parking can be redressed with those conditions and parameters. Dave See, Associate Planner, pointed out that the parking study the Traffic and Transportation Manager approved (parking letter) wanted a condition stating that there would be a maximum of iwo employees due to shortage of parking. Selma Mann, Deputy Ciry Attorney:. Concerned that there is nothing that would stop this particular type of medical operation from being transferred or sold or used by another more intense medical operation, it would be appropriate to add a condition regarding the parking waiver based upon the parking letter and any intensification or change. Also noted there is no parking demand study its a parking letter. CONDITION: That the granting of this variance shall be deemed contingent upon operation of the use in conformance with the assumptions relating to the operation and intensity of the use as contained in the Parking .Demand Study prepared by Advantec Consulting Engineers dated March 25, 1998 on file in the Planning Department. Exceeding, violating, intensifying or otherwise deviating from any of said assumptions as contained in said Parking Demand Study shall be deemed a violation of the express conditions imposed upon the granting of this variance which shall subject said variance to termination or modification pursuant to the provisions of Sections 18.03.091 and 18.03.092 of the Anaheim Municipal Code.
