and 18.27.062.030 35% permitted;- 44.6% proposed)
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:
1: That the proposed waiver is hereby approved on the basis that strict application of the Zoning
Code deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in identical zoning cfiassification in the
vicinity because the existing house was developed in 1969 in a residential subdivision zoned R-2-5000
(One-Family) with a maximum permfitted.lot coverage of 45%; that in 1972 the R-2-5000 Zone was re-
tided RS=5000 and certain development standards were amended, including maximum lot coverage which
was reduced to 35%, thereby causing the existing lot coverage on subject property (39.8%} to become
legally nonconforming); and that 13 of the 17 houses on this side of the block (i.e., east side of Anchor
Street between (east west) Anchor Street and Simmons Avenue) have lot coverages exceeding 35°l0, as
discussed in paragraph (13) of the August 8, 2002 Staff Report to the Zoning Administrator.
2. That the proposed family room addition, which will replace an existing enclosed patio with a
similar square footage, will increase the lot coverage by only 251 sq.ft.
3. That, except for lot coverage, all other standards of the RS-5000 Zone will be complied with,
including the proposed 19-foot rear yard which exceeds the minimum 5 feet permitted for a single-story
dwelling, the maximum number of bedrooms (three) permitted on a lot of this size (5,227 sq.ft.) and the
existing 19-foot front yard which exceeds the minimum required 10 foot setback; and that the appearance
of the house with the proposed addition, which will be visible from the rear (east) and side (south) property
lines, will lie compatible with other fiomes in the neighborhood.
