CUP No. 2022-06 – 2221 N. Heliotrope Drive March 28, 2022 Page 2 2 4 8 2 As designed, the structure would be ancillary and subordinate the main single-family residence. The height of the proposed structure in comparison to the main residence is illustrated on the architectural plan set provided by the architect (see Exhibit 4). The height of the existing residence is approximately 25 feet while the tallest point of the pavilion (pavilion roof peak) is proposed to be a maximum of 21’-8”. There are two additional structures on the site, including a freestanding one-story pool house/cabana and a freestanding one-story garden house. The pool house is approximately 13 feet in height, while the garden house is a maximum 15 feet in height to the tallest ridge point. As described by the applicants, the pavilion is currently built in Vietnam. It’s built in a traditional Vietnamese design and was fabricated by Vietnamese artisans. The pavilion structure is proposed to be disassembled, shipped to Santa Ana, and reconstructed on the subject property. As proposed, the pavilion would share a similar design, materials, and cultural characteristics as the existing garden house on the site. Specifically, the structure would include prefabricated wood post members, traditional Vietnamese hand- carved wood details, and would include ceramic roofing tile. Lastly, the installation of the structure would be designed and overseen by a licensed structural engineer and the structure would not include mechanical or plumbing equipment. The structure would include two electrical outlets and limited accent lighting, including two to four light fixtures within the structure and three to six landscape/up- lights at the base.
