The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. Applicant is requesting approval of Variance No. 2007-01 to reduce the required parking standards for a home improvement warehouse at 1044 East Fourth Street. B. Variance No. 2007-01 came before the Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana for a duly noticed public hearing on February 26,2007. The public hearing was continued to March 26, 2007. C. Variance No. 2007-01 has been filed with the City of Santa Ana seeking to reduce the required parking standards for a home improvement warehouse at 1044 East Fourth Street. D. Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638 authorizes the Planning Commission to grant a variance upon making certain findings. 1. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this chapter. The subject industrial site is a 4.3 acre irregularly shaped parcel constrained by the location and size of two existing industrial buildings on the property. Due to the size of the property and location of existing buildings, the number of parking spaces required by the Cities parking code can not physically be achieved on the property without reducing building square footage which would make the project unviable and create a hardship for the applicant and owner of the property.
