Having been appointed Zoning Administrator by the Planning Director to decide the above-referenced Administrative Adjustment, and subject petition having been duly noticed and no written objections having been received, I do hereby find, pursuant to Section 18.12.080: That although one letter of opposition was received during the 10-day public notification period, the same individual sent a second letter and withdrew his opposition. That the request is hereby granted in accordance with Subsection 18.12.080.015 of the Anaheim Municipal Code which permits waiver of maximum fence height in connection with administrative adjustments. 3. That the legal nonconforming front setback between the building and State College Boulevard is only 6 feet; and the petitioner indicated that, due to the shallow distance between the public sidewalk and the office building, the wrought iron fence was constructed to prevent vandalism such as "tagging" the glass front of the building. Ms. Santalahti has determined that the proposed project is Categorically Exempt, Class 3, as defined in the State of California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines and is, therefore, categorically exempt from the requirement to prepare an Environmental Impact Report. Based on the evidence presented, Ms. Santalahti does hereby approve Administrative Adjustment No. 2001-00210, subject to the following conditions: That subject property shall be developed substantially in accordance with plans and specifications submitted to the City of Anaheim by the petitioner and which plans are on file with the Planning Department marked Exhibit Nos. 1 (site plan and illustration) and 2 (photographs).

ZA-2001-13 Appeal period ended at 5:00 p.m. on Monday, March 5, 2001 Project Planner: ( dseeCa~anaheim.net) No one indicated their presence at the public hearing in opposition to the proposal and no correspondence in opposition was received. Having been appointed Zoning Administrator by the Planning Director to decide the above-referenced Administrative Adjustment, and subject petition having been duly noticed and no written objections having been received, I do hereby find, pursuant to Section 18.12.080: That no written opposition was received during the 10-day public notification period. That the request is hereby granted in accordance with Subsection 18.12.080.015 which permits waiver of maximum fence height in connection with administrative adjustments. That the placement of the house on this property is unusual in that the property is developed as a "reversed frontage" with the dwelling having its front entrance on Chanticleer Road instead of Nutwood Street (which, being the narrowest frontage, would typically be where the front door faces); that the submitted site plan and an aerial photograph of the property show an 18-foot yard along Chanticleer Road (which is wider than a typical side yard); and that the fence, although technically located in the "front" yard along Nutwood Street, is in an area which can be considered the "side" yard. 4. That the fence does not visually obstruct the driveway of the neighboring property to the north because the driveway on that neighbor's property is located adjacent to its north property line, more than 40 feet north of the subject fence. Ms. Santalahti has determined that the proposed project is Categorically Exempt, Class 3, as defined in the State of California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines and is, therefore, categorically exempt from the requirement to prepare an Environmental Impact Report.

That subject property shall be developed substantially in accordance with plans and specifications submitted to the City of Anaheim by the petitioner and which plans are on file with the Planning Department marked Exhibit Nos. 1 (site plan) and 2 (photographs). 3. That approval of this application constitutes approval of the proposed request only to the extent that it complies with the Anaheim Municipal Zoning Code and any other applicable City, State and Federal regulations.
