Having been appointed Zoning Administrator by the Planning Director, pursuant
to Anaheim Municipal Code Section 18.12.040, to decide the above-referenced
petition and a public hearing having been duly noticed for and held on the
date set forth above, I do hereby find:

setbacks on other nearby residential properties and that-four off-street
parking spaces will be constructed to replace the ones being removed:
three in the new garage and one in a new parking space
2. That there are special circumstances applicable to the property such as
size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, which do not apply to
other identically zoned properties in the vicinity; and
3. That strict application of the Zoning Code deprives the property of
privileges enjoyed by other properties in identical zoning classification
in the vicinity.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FINDING: That the Zoning Administrator
has reviewed the proposal for waiver of minimum structural setback to
construct a 745 square-foot garage on a rectangularly-shaped parcel of land
consisting of approximately 7,500 square feet located at the northwest corner
of Baylor Avenue and .Colorado .Street, having frontages of approximately 75
feet on the north side of Baylor Avenue-and 100 feet on the west side of
Colorado Street, and further described as 2737 West Baylor Avenue; and that
the Planning Director or his authorized representative has determined that the
proposed project falls within the definition of Categorical Exemptions, ..Class
5, as defined in the State EIR Guidelines and is, therefore, categorically
exempt from the requirement to prepare an EIR.
