The Planning Commission determines that the following findings, which must be established in order to grant a variance from the provisions of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, have not been established: 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. There are no special circumstances applicable to the subject property where the strict interpretation 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 the zoning code. This is a typical lot with no unique site features that warrants a fence above code requirements. 2. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. The denial of this variance should not significantly impact the rights of the property owners to enjoy the use of their property. The construction of a fence within the front yard will, in and of itself, not guarantee any greater enjoyment or protection than which is • permitted by code. Any revisions to the current building openings will not result in any nonconformity with safety requirements. Resolution No. 2002-03 Page 1 of 3 • 3.
