Having been appointed Zoning Administrator by the Planning Director, pursuant to Anaheim Municipal

noticed for and held on the date. sefif6rth above, I do hereby find:
1. That this variance is hereby approved, in part, permitting the proposed 6-foot high wall at a
setback ranging from 4 feet to 7 feet (west to east) from Camino Tampico (instead of 0 to 7 feet, as was
proposed); that the waiver is approved, in part, on the basis that there are special circumstances that
affect this property. due to its odd shape; that the lot is unusually shaped (trapezoidal) compared to other
lots (rectangular) in the vicinity and the lot frontage is much wider than the lot is deep; that the width is
169 feet (minimum 70 feet required by Code) and the depth ranges from 91 feet along the westerly side to
20 feet along the easterly side (minimum 103 feet required by Code); and that strict application of the
Zoning Code deprives the properly of privileges enjoyed by other properties for establishing screened
private recreatianAeisdre areas vuithin the back and side yards.
2. That the City Traffic and Transportation Manager has reviewed the site plan, as approved,
and determined that the proposed wall, located at a minimum 4-foot setback from Camino .Tampico near
the west property line, will not interfere with necessary lines-of-sight between subject property and the
abutting single-family residence to the west.
3. That, as approved, a 4 to 7-foot deep landscaped setback will be maintained along Camino
Tampico and will create a single landscaped area for uniform maintenance and will encourage the growth
of plant materials to reduce the mass of the block wall and prevent graffiti opportunities.
Based on the evidence and testimony presented to me, t do hereby determine to approve Variance No.
