No one indicated their presence at the public hearing in opposition to the proposal and no
correspondence in opposition was received.
The Zoning Administrator hereby finds the following:
1. That waiver (a), maximum lot coverage, is hereby approved on the basis that strict
application of the Zoning Code would deprive the property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in
identical zoning classification in the vicinity because a number of variances have been granted for similar
proposals on other properties in the neighborhood, as discussed in paragraph (10) of the Staff Report to
the Zoning Administrator dated November 14, 2002; and that due to reclassification of the underlying .
residential subdivision from the R-2-5000 Zone to the RS-5000 Zone in 1972, the maximum permitted lot
coverage was reduced from 45% to.35%, thereby causing the existing lot coverage (36.9%) to become
legally nonconforming.
2. That waiver (b), minimum open space, is hereby approved on the basis that the existing
property is currently non-conforming with respect to minimum open space requirements and the proposed
family room addition will not increase the open space requirement or further intensify the use of the
property.
3. That, except far maximum lot coverage and minimum open space, all other development
standards of the RS-5000 Zone will be complied with; including the proposed 18-foot rear yard which
exceeds the minimum 5 feet required for asingle-story dwelling.
4. That surrounding residences will not be adversely impacted as a consequence of this
maximum lot coverage and minimum open space waiver request; and that these waivers will not have a
adverse impact on the character of the surrounding single fatnilyresidential neighborhood.

ZONING ADMINISTRATOR DECISION NO.: ZA2002=42
No one indicated their presence at the public hearing in opposition to 'the proposal and no
. correspondence in opposition. There was one phone call received by the ;planner with concerns
regarding parking.
r
The Zoning Administrator hereby finds the following: ,
1. That in December 2001, the parking requirement for houses having 5 or more bedrooms
was increased to 6 spaces including at least 3 spaces in a garage; that the 3 open spaces in the
driveway are permitted to be in tandem to the garage spaces and located within the requin3d front •
setback; and that said requirements assume a 3-car garage which faces the street and a 3-car wide
driveway between the garage door and the street.
2.. That the existing conditions on both lots consist of "L"-shaped driveways with garage
entrances perpendicular to Crone Avenue, and 44•foot tong driveways which have curb cuts that are .
about 17 feet wide at the front property line and widen to about 36 feet in front of the garage doors; and
• that. therefore, there space for at least 4 cars to park in each driveway in compliance with the over-all
required on-site parking for 5 and 6 bedroom houses; and that both driveway configurations are
illustrated in the photographs in the Staff Report to the Zoning Administrator dated November 14, 2002.
3. That the waiver of minimum number of parking spaces to permit 2-car garages instead of
requiring 3-car garages for two houses (which are being expanded to 5 and 6 bedrooms) is hereby
approved on the basis that each lot has space for at least 4 cars in each driveway thereby complying with
the over-all parking requirement of 6 spaces for each house; and, further, that the applicants submitted a
photographic survey of houses in the neighborhood (the 9-block area between Nutwood Street, Random
• ~ Drive, Trident Street and Beacon Avenue) showing additions (mostly second stories) to 27 one-story
houses with the existing 2-car garages being retained and, therefore, strict application of the Zoning Code

would deprive the.subject properties of privileges enjoyed by other properties in identical zoning
classification in the vicinity.
4.. That granting this.parking variance will not cause an increase in traffic congestion in the
immediate vicinity nor adversely affect any adjoining land uses because off-street parking spaces are
available on .the subject lots incompliance with the over-all number of spaces required by Code.
5: That this variance will not increase the demand and competition for parking spaces upon .
the public streets in the"immediate vicinity of the proposed use because the overall number of parking
•. ~ .spaces required by Code will be provided. .
6. That this variance will.not cause fewer off-street parking spaces to be provided for the
approved use than the number of such spaces necessary to accommodate all vehicles attributable to
such use under the normal and .reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation of the use, nor will this
variance increase the demand and competition for parking spaces upon adjacent private property in the
Immediate vicinity of~the proposed use (which property is not expressly provided as parking for the
approved use under an agreement in compliance with Section 18.06.010.020 of the Anaheim Municipal , .
Code) because off:street parking spaces are "available on the subject lots iri compliance with the over-all
number of spaces required by Code:.
7. That"this variance will not impede vehicular ingress to or egress from adjacent properties
upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of the proposed use.
