Having been appointed Zoning Administrator by the Planning Director, pursuant
to Anaheim Municipal Code Sectom 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:
1. That the request is minimal because subject property. has an exceptionally
large back yard (about 1,639 _sq.ft.) which, even. after the addition (196
sq.ft:) is constructed, will be larger than is typical for a large
RS-5,000 zoned back yard (about .1,250 sq.ft.) and, therefore, a
substantial ,amount of private on-site open space will remain available
for recreational purposes; and that .other nearby back yards are
shallower, being about 15 feet deep which is similar to the proposal;
2. That there are special circumstances applicable o 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 maximum site coverage and maximum
number of bedrooms to cons ruct a 196 sq.ft. room addition to an existing
single-family residence on a rectangularly-shaped parcel of land consisting of
