Having been appointed Zoning Administrator by the Planning Director, pursuant to Anaheim Municipal

noticed for and held on the date set forth above, I do hereby find:

on the property is being maintained; and that adding garage doors and partition wa11s to the four carport
spaces does not reduce the available parking on the property.

to be provided than the number of spaces necessary to accommodate all vehicles attributable to the
existing apartments under the normal and reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation of such use.
3. That the waiver, under the conditions imposed, will not increase the demand and competition
for parking spaces upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of the apartments.
4. That the waiver, under the conditions imposed, will not increase the demand and competition
for parking spaces upon adjacent private property in the immediate vicinity of the apartments (which
property is not expressly provided as parking for such use under an agreement in compliance with Section
18.06.010.020 of the Zoning Code).
5. That the waiver, under the conditions imposed, will not increase traffic congestion within the
off-street parking areas provided for the apartments.

from adjacent properties upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of the apartments.
7. That granting of this waiver will not cause an increase in traffic congestion in the immediate
vicinity nor adversely affect any adjoining land uses.
