REQUEST: Waiver of .the .following under authority of Code Section

sq.ft. lot for proposed 4 bedrooms)
Having been appointed Zoninq 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:
1. That the requested waiver (a) is minimal because the lot. contains a
"0-side yard" on the south .with usable open space in excess of what is
typically be available in RS-5000 tracts; specifically, the open space
.consists of a minimum 10-foot wide side yard to the north and a full
25-foot deep rear yard.
2. That approval of the requested waiver (b) is consistent with existing
development in the area because the underlying Tot is similar to other
neighboring lots in the same tract which were. developed- with 4-bedroom
houses on 5,000 sq.ft. lots prior to the .Code .amendment which established
the current ratio of maximum number of .bedrooms to minimum Sot size; and,
therefore, strict application of the Zoning Code would deprive subject
property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in identical zoning
classification in the vicinity.
3. 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
