The Planning Commission finds and determines as follows: ae That a proper application, Variance 9'4-002, has been filed by the Orange County Teachers Credit Union to reduce the required landscape setback for the ultimate street improvements on the future Newport Avenue from Valencia Avenue to a point approximately 370 feet north of Valencia from 30 feet to approximately 15 feet on the property located at 15442 Del Amo Avenue. Be That a public hearing was duly noticed, called and held by the Planning Commission on April 25, 1994. Co The Planning Commission has reviewed the subject request, for a variance to decrease the landscape setback on the future Newport Avenue street frontage and has made the following findings: 1· 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 there are other properties within the PCESP on Del A mo with less than the minimum 30 foot landscape setback. For example, the property at 15222 Del Amo is presently developed with a 22 foot landscape setback to the parking lot. · 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 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 2O 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Resolution No. 3257 Page 2 De area, in that with the existing structure remaining and the site parking lot reconfigured .to comply with applicable drive aisle widths and stall sizes, the maximum amount of landscaping along the street frontages are provided.

Even with the reduction in the landscape setbacks, the intent of the street scape concept to provide parking lot screening, an 8 foot side meandering sidewalk and street trees consistent with the PCESP Landscape Concept Plan can be accomplished.
