Administrative Adjustment Letter of Justification – Landscape Setback
Dear Mr. Taylor:
On behalf of Toffoli Investments, LLC, we formally submit this letter of justification for
administrative adjustment necessary for the proposed Project, being 44 residential
condominiums, generally located at the southwest corner of West Lincoln Avenue and Laxore
Street.
The proposed project lies within the Beach Blvd Specific Plan which envisions quality
redevelopment of existing dilapidated and underutilized land uses throughout the Beach Blvd.
Corridor. It was previously approved as mixed-use residential as part of DEV2020-00278 TTM
19022
The project will require administrative adjustment for encroachment of private drives/courts into
required 10-ft landscape setback at side interior property lines. The proposed encroachment to
provide 4-ft back-up space per City of Anaheim Std projects into the setback by less than 20% for
Lincoln Ave and 10% for Embassy Ave coordinated with City Planning Dept. personnel. We’ve
found that:
1.The adjustment is consistent with the purposes and intent of the Zoning Code. All
structures are outside landscape setback. Required back-up space for garage parking
access encroaches only approximately 15% of the setback for Lincoln Ave to the north
and 10% for Embassy Ave alley to the south.
2.The same or similar result cannot be achieved by using provisions in the Zoning Code
that do not require the adjustment. Back-up space for garage parking access would be
sub-standard as a result.
3.The adjustment will not produce a result that is out of character or detrimental to the
neighborhood. Project frontage along (3) public street frontages of W Lincoln Ave,
ATTACHMENT NO. 7
Laxore St, and Embassy Ave have been closely coordinated with City staff to provide
desirable landscaping and screening treatments at encroachment locations.
If you have any questions or comments regarding this letter, please call me at (949) 916-3800.
Sincerely,
