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 proposal is located on a promontory of land projecting from
Tamarisk Drive and will have minimal affect an nearby properties because
the building pads of adjacent properties are substantially different from
subject property's building pad, being-about 15 feet higher on the west
..and about 40 feet lower to the south, that the building pad to the east
is a few feet lower and separated from subject property by a ravine which
is about 50 feet wide; and that there is an existing undevelopable hill
on;the lot to the north which severely limits any visibility to subject
property from the north;
2. That the greatest width of the proposal has an east-west axis resulting
in only the house's narrowest facades being visible from the closest and
most critically located properties which are to the east and west;
3. That there are special circumstances applicable to the property such as
size,,shape, opography, location or surroundings, which do not apply to
other identically zoned properties in the vicinity; and
4. That strict application of the Zoning Code deprives the property of
privileges enjoyed by other properties in identical zoning classification
in the vicinity.
CALIFORNIA'ENVTRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FINDINGS That the Zoning Administrator
has reviewed the proposal to construct a 2-story, '33-foot high to chimney and
29.5 foot high to roof peak single-family residence on an irregularly-shaped
parcel of land consisting of approximately 2.7 acres, having a frontage of
approximately 1.82 feet on the south side of Tamarisk Drive, having a maximum

or his authorized representative has determined that the proposed project
falls within the definition of Categorical Exemptions, Class 3, as defined in
