Kristine Ridge, Acting Zoning Administrator, opened the public hearing.
Judy Dadant, Senior Planner, introduced Item No. 1 and stated that at the printing of staff report dated
August 31, 2006, staff had not received any opposition to the request.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Applicant's Testimony:
Brad Smith, Architect, 365 # B Old Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, CA, stated the site plan and
philosophy that generated the project was that they wanted to have less paved area in the public setback.
In order to reduce the paved area they determined that they could turn the garage doors 90 degrees
rather than front onto the street which is presently the case. Their intent is to take the existing rear yard
configuration and match it so that they will not provide any additional impact to homes on the westerly
side and also maintain the setback in the rear and not impact anyone's view or privacy from the southerly
side.
PUBLIC Testimony:
Phil JouJon Roche, President of SACPOA (Santa Ana Canyon Property Owner's Association), asked how
many garages he would have.
Mr. Smith responded they have 5 car parking enclosed. Presently, there are 3 cars but when passing
through the neighborhood many cars may be visible in the driveway however, their intent is to house
them all.

ZONING ADMINISTRATOR RESOLUTION N0. ZA2006-19
Concurred with staff
Approved
15 day appeal period

Kristine Ridge, Acting Zoning Administrator, opened the public hearing.
Judy Dadant, Senior Planner, introduced Item No. 3 and stated staff finds that there are special
circumstances relating to the property that would justify the waiver of code requirement, specifically the
property is located on a piece of property that is on a bend of Manchester Avenue. The code allows for
adjacent walls to have signage for properties on corner lots and although it is not technically a corner lot it
has the perception of a corner lot. In addition, because of the unique design of the building structures
such as the staggered building walls, the appearance is not like adjacent walls because of the separation.
The walls are not quite adjacent for standard interpretation of that definition, and because of the way the
building is designed, with railings and entrances to the hotel rooms, there are no other alternatives for the
placement of the signs from a practical standpoint. Also, the other building is located significantly far from
the right-away and would preclude visibility of the signs.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Applicant's Testimony:
Praful Patel, 1441 S. Manchester Avenue, Anaheim, CA, stated even if there was a request to put in
signs as required by code, he could not because all the other areas are walkways used by guests and
also the property is set so far back, almost hidden away, that you could not see it if the signs were placed
there.
