The Planning Commission of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows: I. The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows: ae That a proper application, Variance 94-011, has been filed by Mr. Donald A. LeJeune to reduce the minimum lot width of Parcel 2 of Tentative Parcel Map 94-149 from sixty (60) feet to 22 feet and to increase the maximum fence height in the required front yard setback area of Parcel 2 of Tentative Parcel Map 94-149 from three (3) feet to 6'-8" on the property located at 440 West Main Street, Tustin. Be That a public hearing was duly noticed, called and held by the Planning Commission on December 12, 1994. Ce The Planning Commission has reviewed the subject request for a variance to reduce the minimum lot width and increase the maximum fence height and has made the following findings: · Granting the variance shall not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and district in which the project is situated in that all of the other properties on the same block bounded by Main, "B", Sixth and Pacific Streets .are zoned for single family residences and twelve (12) of the lots have lot widths which are less than the required sixty (60) feet. In addition, there are other residential parcels within the Cultural Resource District which function as flag lots. The increase in the allowable fence height shall not constitute a grant of special privilege in that the fencing is existing and is setback approximately 150 feet from Main Street which is consistent with other fencing in the vicinity. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Resolution No. 3314 Page 2 · There are unusual or exceptional circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings which deprive the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the area, in that the subject property is wider and larger in area than most of the parcels in the area and has sufficient area to be divided into two (2) parcels which conform to the minimum lot size requirements specified in the City Code. Due to the flag lot configuration and shape of Parcel 2, the parcels would be deprived of fencing that is necessary for security and safety reasons and is typical of fencing found on other properties in the area. Based on the City's definition of a front yard, the subject fencing would be located within the front yard setback area, but would function as side yard fencing or as a swimming pool barrier. The Uniform Building Code requires that swimming pools be surrounded by a barrier of at least five (5) feet in height. De A Negative Declaration has been prepared and certified for this project in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act. II. The Planning Commission hereby approves Variance 94-011 to reduce the minimum lot width of Parcel 2 of Tentative Parcel Map 94-149 from sixty (60) feet to 22 feet and to increase the maximum fence height in the required front yard setback area of Parcel 2 of Tentative Parcel Map 94- 149 from three (3) feet to 6'-8" on the property located at 440 West Main Street, Tustin, subject to the conditions attached hereto as Exhibit A. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Resolution No. 3314 Page 3 PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meet.
