91-135 RESOLUTION NO. 91~-135
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ANAHEIM GRANTING VARIANCE
NO. 4111.
WHEREAS, after a request for variance to permit two
illegally constructed apartment units, was received, a public
hearing before the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim was
held upon due and proper notice, a result of which Variance No.
4111 was denied covering the following described property:
PARCEL 1 AS SHOWN ON A MAP FILED IN BOOK 37,
PAGE 15 OF PARCEL MAPS, IN THE OFFICE OF THE
ORANGE COUNTY RECORDER; and
WHEREAS, thereafter, within the time prescribed by law,
an interested party or the City Council, on its own motion, caused
the review of said Planning Commission action at a public hearing
noticed and held as prescribed by law and, as a result thereof, the
City Council does hereby make the following findings:
1. That there are special circumstances applicable to the
property, including size, shape, topography, location or
surroundings, which do not apply to other property under identical
zoning classification in the vicinity; and
2. That, because of special circumstances shown in (1)
above, strict application of the zoning code deprives the property
of privileges enjoyed by other property under identical zoning
classification in the vicinity; and
WHEREAS, the City Council does further find and determine
with regard to the proposed waiver of certain off-street parking
requirements that:
1. The variance will not cause an increase in traffic
congestion in the immediate vicinity nor adversely affect the
adjoining land uses; and
2. The granting of the variance under the conditions imposed
will not be detrimental to the peace, health, safety or general
welfare of the citizens of the City of Anaheim.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Anaheim that a conditional zoning variance be, and the same
is hereby, granted to permit two illegally constructed apartment
units on the property hereinbefore described with waivers of the
following sections of the Anaheim Municipal Code:
Variance 4111
SECTIONS 18.34.063.022 Minimum structural setback.
and 18.34.064 (9 feet required; 5 feet existing)
SECTIONS 18.06.050.0121 Minimum number of parking spaces.
18.06.080 (70 required; 66 existing and
and 18.34.066.010 proposed)
SECTION 18.34.062.032 Minimum floor area of dwelling unit.
(700 sq.ft. required for 1-bedroom
units; one 696 sq.ft. 1-bedroom
apartment existing)
That said variance be granted subject to the following conditions:
1. That due to the change in use and/or occupancy of the
building, plans shall be submitted to the Building Division
showing compliance with the minimum standards of the city of
Anaheim, including the Uniform Building, Plumbing, Electrical,
Housing, Mechanical and Fire Codes as adopted by the City of
Anaheim. The appropriate permits shall be obtained for any
necessary work and double fees shall be paid because of the
two (2) apartments approved by this variance were "boot-
legged" and the appropriate permits were never obtained from
the City.
2. That the legal owner of subject property shall enter into an
unsubordinated recorded agreement with the City of Anaheim
pursuant to California Government Code Section 65915 to
provide that two (2) of the thirty (30) residential units
shall be rented as very low or low income housing as defined
in California Government Code Section 65915 and with
appropriate rental controls as approved by the city of Anaheim
for a period of not less than thirty (30) years from the date
of recordation of subject agreement. Since this thirty (30)
unit apartment complex already exists, the next two (2) units
which become available for rent shall be the units set aside
as affordable for households having very low or low incomes.
A copy of the recorded agreement shall be submitted to the
Zoning Division.
3. That the appropriate fees shall be paid for the two (2) "boot-
legged" apartment units (approved under this variance) in the
same amounts as would be paid if building and/or other
required permits were being issued at this time for the
construction of two new apartments. Said fees include, but
are not necessarily limited to: the park and recreation in-
lieu fees, the traffic signal assessment fees, and the
building permit fees plus "late penalty" (for failing to
obtain permits prior to construction).
Variance 4111
4. That subject property shall be developed substantially in
accordance with plans and specification submitted to the city
of Anaheim by the petitioner and which plans are on file with
the Planning Department marked Exhibit Nos. 1 and 2.
5. That within a period of ninety (90) days from the date of this
resolution or prior to issuance of a building permit,
whichever occurs first, Condition Nos. 2 and 3, above-
mentioned, shall be complied with. Extensions for further
time to complete said conditions may be granted in accordance
with Section 18.03.090 of the Anaheim Municipal Code.
6. That within a period of ninety (90) days from the date of this
resolution or prior to final building and zoning inspections,
whichever occurs first, Condition Nos. 1 and 4, above-
mentioned, shall be complied with.
7. 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.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City
of Anaheim does hereby find and determine that adoption of this
Resolution is expressly predicated upon applicant's compliance with
each and all of the conditions hereinabove set forth. Should any
such condition, or any part thereof, be declared invalid or
unenforceable by the final judgment of any court of competent
jurisdiction, then this Resolution, and any approvals herein
contained, shall be deemed null and void.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION is approved and adopted by the
City Council of the City of Anaheim this 7th day of May, 1991.
