RESOLUTION NO. 81-154
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SANTA ANA REVERSING THE ACTION OF THE PLANNING
COMMISSION ON VARIANCE APPLICATION NO. 81-12,
APPROVING SAID VARIANCE, AND GRANTING APPEAL NO.
451, FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 510 FAIRHAVEN AVENUE
WHEREAS, a public hearing was duly held before the
City Council of the City of Santa Ana on September 8, 1981,
on the action taken by the Planning Commission in denying
Variance Application No. 81-12, which application seeks to
waive minimum homesite area requirements, a portion of the
required parking, trash enclosures and a common storage area
for the development of a mobile home park (which application
was modified by the applicant to seek only waiver of trash
enclosure and common storage area requirements) at 510 Fair-
haven Avenue in the A1 District.
WHEREAS, prior to taking action on said Variance
Application, this Council has reviewed and considered the
Negative Declaration for the project, including Initial
Study No. IS 81-46.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS:
1. That based on such public hearing and the oral
and documentary evidence submitted therein, the City Council
does hereby reverse the action of the Planning Commission
denying said Variance Application NO. 81-12, and does hereby
approve said Variance and grant Appeal No. 451, insofar as
the same pertains to waiver of trash enclosure and common
storage area requirements.
2. That the City Council hereby adopts as its
findings of fact for the approval of Variance No. 81-12, the
following:
(b) Special circumstances apply to the
subject property which justify the waiver of
requirements for trash enclosures and a common
storage area, in that the project is designed for
individual unit trash collection and storage in
the same manner as conventional single family homes,
and the strict application of such requirements
would deprive the subject property of amenities
such as open space without any corresponding benefit.
(b) The granting of this variance is
necessary to preserve the owner's right to develop
his property in a manner consistent with the
purpose and intent of the zoning regulations, in
that requiring the installation of trash enclosures
and a common storage area would impose an unreason-
able burden on development of the property.
RESOLUTION NO. 81- 154
FA6E TWO
(c) Given the right to develop the property
as a mobile home park conferred by Conditional
Use Permit No. 81-8, the waiver of requirements for
trash enclosures and a separate storage area will
have no adverse impact on the public welfare or
surrounding property, due to the design of the
project in a manner similar to a conventional
single-family home tract.
(d) The General Plan of the city does
not address the subjects of trash enclosures or
separate storage areas, and therefore will not
be adversely affected by the granting of the
variance.
3. For the reasons set forth in the Negative
Declaration prepared for this project, the Council approves
and adopts the said Negative Declaration and its finding
that the project will not have a significant effect on the
environment.
4. The said variance is
requirement and condition that all
ments of Conditional Use Permit No.
with.
approved, subject to the
conditions and require-
81-8 must be complied
