Anaheim, CA 92802
LOCATION: 1140 West South Street
CEQA STATUS: CEQA Categorical Exemption -Class 1
HEARING DATE: August 19, 2004
OPPOSITION: No one indicated their presence at the public hearing in opposition to the proposal and
no correspondence was received in opposition.
REQUEST: Waiver of the Following to install a laundry facility in the existing garage of a single family
residence:
Sections 18.04.110 - Minimum dimensions of off-street oarkinc spaces.
18.42.030.010.0104 (Minimum interior garage dimensions: 20 feel by 20 feet;
and 18.74.060.020 Proposed dimensions: 17 feet-10 inches by 16 feet)
Having been appointed Zoning Administrator by the Planning Director, pursuant to Anaheim Municipal
Code Section 18.74.040 (Approval Authority), 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 this variance is approved because the proposed laundry facility will consist of laundry
appliances with appropriate plumbing fixtures and lines, and there will be no permanent building
improvements that would prohibit future use of the garage for parking two vehicles, in compliance with
Code., if the laundry appliances were removed; and that the petitioner indicated that in addition to the two
tandem parking spaces in front of the garage, there is space for additional on-site parking if needed.
2. That strict application of the Zoning Code would deprive the property of privileges enjoyed
by other properties in the identical zoning classification in the vicinity because other residents have
Installed similar laundry facilities in their garages thereby reducing the interior dimensions of the garages
and the space available for parking two vehicles.
Based on the evidence and testimony presented to me, I do hereby determine to approve Variance No.
2004-04621, subject to the following conditions:
1, That subject property shall be developed substantially in accordance with the plarnsubmitted to the
City of Anaheim by the petitioner and which plan is on file with the Planning Department marked
Exhibit No. 1.

have been obtained from the Building Division for the proposed improvements inside the garage
and (2) a dimensioned plan shall be submitted to the Planning Department (to be filed with this
Variance) showing that one (1) additional open parking space can be provided on the properly
adjacent to the driveway if needed. The minimum width of an open parking space is eight and one-
halF (8'/) feet wide and the minimum depth is eighteen (18) feet, except that the minimum depth
shall be twenty five (25) feet if the open space is in tandem to atilt-up garage door, or twenty (20)
feet if the space is in tandem to a roll-up garage door. Extensions for further time to complete this
