OWNER: Navin Parikh
227 North Sagamore Street
Anaheim, CA 92807
LOCATION: 227 North Sagamore Street
HEARING DATE: October 2, 2003
OPPOSITION: No one indicated their presence at the public hearing in opposition to the proposal, and
no correspondence in opposition was received.
REQUEST: Waiver of the following to construct a family room, relocate a bedroom, and expand a
master bedroom for a single family residence in the RS-5000(SC) (Residential, Single-
Family -Scenic Corridor Overlay) Zone:
Sections 18.12.060.070 - Maximum lot coverage.
and 18.27.062.030 (35% permitted; 46% 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 even with the proposed addition to the rear of the existing one-story residence, the
proposed back yard setback (23 feet) will exceed the requirement (10 feet) and, therefore, adequate
private outdoor space will be available; and that the proposed construction will not intrude on neighboring
properties because it is only one-story high.
2. That another lot coverage variance has been granted in the neighborhood and, therefore,
strict application of the Zoning Code would deprive this property of privileges enjoyed by other property
under identical zoning classification in the vicinity.
3. That there is a special circumstance applicable to the property consisting of its size relative
to the proposed addition because the resulting back yard setback exceeds the Code requirement and the
one-story residence including the addition will not adversely impact adjoining and nearby properties; and
that the proposed lot coverage is only 530 sq.ft. more than permitted by Code.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FINDINGS: That the Zoning Administrator has reviewed
the proposal for waiver of maximum lot coverage to construct a family room, relocate a bedroom and
expand a master bedroom for asingle-family residence in the RS-5000(SC) (Residential, Single-Family -
Scenic Corridor Overlay) Zone on arectangularly-shaped 0.11-acre property having a frontage of 50 feet
on the west side of Sagamore Street and a maximum depth of 100 feet, being located 450 feet north of
the centerline of Addington Drive, and further described as 227 North Sagamore Street; and that the
Planning Director's authorized representative has determined that the proposed project is Categorically
Exempt (Class 5) under Section 15305 of the State of California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines.
Based on the evidence and testimony presented to me, I do hereby determine to approve Variance No.
2003-04577, subject to the following conditions:
