A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS
GRANTING A VARIANCE FROM SECTION 9.6.A. OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS
ZONING ORDINANCE TO ALLOW THE INSTALLATION OF A 5 -FOOT HIGH
WROUGHT IRON FENCE IN THE FRONT YARD BUILDING SETBACK.
VARIANCE NO. 87 -7.
167
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS HEREBY FINDS, RESOLVES, DETERMINES,
AND ORDERS AS FOLLOWS:
1. That an application was filed for a variance from the terms of the
Zoning Ordinance of the City of Cypress to allow a five -foot high wrought iron
fence with a swinging gate to remain in the front yard building setback at
4587 Lemon Circle.
2. That the City Council, after proper notice thereof, duly held a public
hearing on said application as provided by law.
3. That the City Council hereby finds that:
a. The strict and literal interpretation of the City Ordinance
restricting front yard setback fences to three and one -half
feet high would constitute a hardship to the property owner
since the five -foot high wrought iron fence has already been
installed along with surrounding landscaping. Removal of the
fence or replacement of the fence with a three and one -half
foot high fence would be extremely difficult and costly due
to these existing front yard improvements.
b. The granting of the variance as conditioned will not consti-
tute a special privilege inconsistent with the limitations
on other properties in the vicinity classified in the same
zone, because the subject property serves as a State licensed
home for the elderly and the fence provides security for the
unique needs of elderly residents.
c. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the
public health, safety and welfare, or materially injurious
to properties or improvements in the vicinity in that the
fence has been securely installed subject to County Fire
Marshal's requirements and City Code requirements.
4. The City Council DOES HEREBY GRANT said variance subject to the
following conditions:
a. The applicant shall comply with all requirements of the
City code except for approved variances or adjustments.
b. The applicant shall strictly abide by the restrictions
provided through the necessary license required by the
California State Department of Social Services.
c. The specifications of the swinging gate and locking
mechanism shall be subject to the requirements of the
Orange County Fire Marshal's Office.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Cypress at a regular
meeting held on the 27th day of July 1987.
