A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS
GRANTING A VARIANCE FROM THE TERMS OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE
OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS TO ALLOW THE REDUCTION IN REAR YARD SETBACK,
FRONT LANDSCAPED AREA, AND LANDSCAPING AREA BETWEEN WALLS, FENCES,
BUILDINGS OR OTHER STRUCTURES AND PARKING SPACES OR DRIVEWAYS -
VARIANCE NO. 87 -10
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 expand the existing Cypress Dog and
Cat Animal Hospital, at 5422 Lincoln Avenue.
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. Strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the
specified regulations would result in a practical difficulty or a
necessary physical hardship in that the parcel is a substandard
commercial lot.
b. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the property involved because of the placement
of the existing building and necessary parking which precludes the
provision of all required landscaping. The existing building currently
has a rear yard setback which is the same as the one requested.
Furthermore, the rear of the property is adjacent to a 15 -foot alley
which acts as a setback.
c. Strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the
specified regulations would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed
by the owners of other properties in the same zone because this
necessary addition could not be built without the granting of the
variance.
d. Due to the location of the existing rear wall of the building
and the amount and location of the existing landscaping, this variance
will not constitute the granting of a special privilege.
e. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the
public health, safety, welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity because it will meet all building code and
fire code safety requirements and some landscaping is provided.
4. The City Council DOES HEREBY GRANT said variance subject to the
conditions attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Cypress at a
regular meeting held on the 8th day of February 1988.
