OPPOSITION: No one indicated their presence at the public hearing in opposition to the proposal and

REQUEST: Petitioner requests waivers of the following to construct two-single family residences

(a) Sections 18.12.060.060 - Minimum lot area.
and 18.26.061.010 (7.200 sg.ft. required; 6.776 soft. proposed)
(b) Sections 18.12.060.080 - Minimum lot width.
and 18.26.061.020 0 feet required; 50 feet existing and proposed)
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 waiver (a), minimum lot area, is a deviation of less than 6% (424 sq.ft.) from the
required lot size.
2. That waiver (b), minimum lot width, is an existing condition of the subject property which
has frontage on two streets with an current depth of 280 feet between those streets; and since the
50-foot width of this "through-lot" is an existing condition similar to other single-family lots in the area,
this waiver will not have adverse impacts to the surrounding neighbofiood; and that other development
standards pertaining to setbacks and lot coverage will be in compliance with the RS-7200 Zone
standards as illustrated by the submitted site plan (Exhibit No. 1).
3. That strict application of the Zoning Code would deprive this property of privileges
enjoyed by other properties with identical zoning classification in the vicinity.
4. That this site is physically suitable, for the type of development proposed.
5. That there are special circumstances including lot size, configuration and width
applicable to this property that would allow for development similar to existing adjacent properties in the
area.
6. That strict application of the Zoning Code would deprive this property of privileges
enjoyed by other properties in identical zoning classification in the vicinity.
