VARIANCE ASSOCIATED WITH CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 86 -14
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 construct two additional apart-
ments at an existing apartment complex located at 9372 Valley View Street.
Included in this request is a variance to encroach five feet into the front
yard setback and to allow a six -foot high block wall in a portion of the
front yard area.
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. Due to the unusual configuration and the location of
the property adjacent to a railroad, there are
extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable
to the property involved which do not apply generally
to other properties in the same zone.
b. The granting of the variance as conditioned will not
constitute the granting of a special privilege incon-
sistent with the limitations on other properties in
the vicinity classified in the same zone because of
the increased size and the unusual shape of the
subject property.
c. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental
to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially
injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity
since the additional building will be located adjacent
to the railroad right -of -way and not adjacent to resi-
dential buildings.
4. The City Council DOES HEREBY GRANT said variance associated with
Conditional Use Permit No. 86 -14 subject to the conditions attached hereto
as Exhibit "A."
