A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM ZONING ADMINISTRATOR
THAT PETITION FOR VARIANCE NO. 2006-04690 BE APPROVED
(343 ROYAL RIDGE DRIVE)
WHEREAS, the Anaheim Zoning Administrator did receive a verified Petition for Variance for
certain real property situated in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California described as
LOT 36 OF TRACT 9524
WHEREAS, the Zoning Administrator did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in the City
of Anaheim on August 17, 2006, at 9:30 a.m., notice of said public hearing having been duly given as
required by law and in accordance with the provisions of the Anaheim Municipal Code, Chapter 18.60
"Procedures", to hear and consider evidence for and against said proposed variance and to investigate and
make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; and
WHEREAS, said Zoning Administrator, after due inspection, investigation and study made
by itself and in its behalf, and after due consideration of all evidence and reports offered at said hearing,
does find and determine the following facts:
1. That the applicant proposes waiver of the following to construct a 2-story addition to an
existing single family residence:
SECTION NO. 18.04.100.010.0101 Minimum side vard setback
15 feet required; 8 to 10 feet proposed)
2. That the above-mentioned waiver is hereby approved on the basis that the property is
unique because it is irregularly-shaped and the dwelling unit is positioned on the parcel at an oblique angle
uncommon to the neighborhood. This special circumstance creates a hardship to construct an addition in
line with existing building walls and still comply with the Code required setbacks.
3. That approval of this variance request would allow the property an expansion that is in line
with the existing building which is typically enjoyed by other similarly-zoned single family homes in the vicinity
that are not irregularly-shaped and that is built at an oblique angle on the property.
4. That nobody indicated their presence at said public hearing in opposition; and that no
correspondence was received in opposition to subject petition.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FINDING: The Planning Director's
authorized representative has determined that the proposed project falls within the definition of Categorical
Exemptions, Section 15301, Class 1 (Existing Facilities), as defined in the State CEQA Guidelines and is,
therefore, exempt from the requirement to prepare additional environmental documentation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Anaheim Zoning Administrator does
hereby grant subject Petition for Variance, upon the following conditions which are hereby found to be a
necessary prerequisite to the proposed use of the subject property in order to preserve the health and safety
of the Citizens of the City of Anaheim:
1. That prior to final building and zoning inspections, the subject property shall be developed
substantially in accordance with plans and specifications submitted to the City of Anaheim by the applicant
and which plans are on file with the Planning Department marked Exhibit Nos. 1 and 2 as conditioned herein.

Re: SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES WAIVER NO. 2006-00034 -Approved
On August 17, 2006, William Sell, Acting Zoning Administrator, considered your request
for waiver of special event permit requirements to permit temporary real estate and tract
signs within the Platinum Triangle Mixed Use (PTMU) Overlay Zone. The property
comprises approximately eight hundred twenty (820) acres generally bounded by the
Santa Ana River on the east, the Anaheim City limits on the south, the Santa Ana
Freeway (Interstate 5) on the west, and the Southern California Edison Company
Easement on the north. The PTMU Overlay Zone covers an area consisting of
approximately three hundred and eighty nine (389) acres.
He made the following findings:
That the public interest would be served by granting this request because it would
facilitate easier identification to the traveling public of the mixed use development
than a more typical freestanding sign.
2. That the granting of the Special Circumstances Waiver (SCW) is appropriate
because of the special circumstances related to the type of mixed use
development allowed in the PTMU Overlay, leaving little or no area on the ground
for placement of temporary advertising signs.
On the basis of the above findings, the Zoning Administrator approved Special
Circumstances Waiver No. 2006-00034 for the herein-described special event, subject
to compliance with the following conditions:
That the duration of the Special Event Permit shall be subject to the time
limitations contained in Section 18.44.190.060 of Section 18.44.190, Temporary
Tract Signs.

2. That the banners shall be kept clean, neatly maintained, with no missing sign
copy, or ripped or faded material. Any un-maintained or damaged portion of the
banners shall be repaired or replaced immediately. Noncompliance shall
constitute a public nuisance and shall be subject to termination of this permit.
3. That not less than five (5) days prior to the commencement of the activity
authorized by Special Circumstances Waiver No. 2006-00034, the applicant shall
obtain a Special Event Permit from the Development Services Division of the
Planning Department.

4. That the sign shall be no greater than 225 square feet or 1 % of building frontage,
whichever is less.
5. That the sign shall be located no higher than the top of the third floor of the
building and safely affixed to the building in a manner which ensures the safety of
the public.
6. That a maximum of one (1) sign shall be permitted per street frontage.
7. That this SCW shall only apply to mixed use projects located within the PTMU
Overlay Zone.
8. That approval of this application constitutes approval of the proposed request
only to the extent that it complies with the Anaheim Municipal Zoning Code and
any other applicable City, State and Federal regulations. Approval does not
include any action or findings as to compliance or approval of the request
regarding any other applicable ordinance, regulation or requirement.
