Resolution No. 5981225
RESOLUTION NO. 5981
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, SECTION 3.14.050.C.7 TO ALLOW LESS THAN THREE FEET (3') WIDE
LANDSCAPE BUFFERS ALONG A DRIVEWAY - WITH CONDITIONS.
VARIANCE NO. 2006 -05
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, Section 3.14.050.C.7, to allow landscape buffers less than three feet (3')
wide along a driveway located at 5652 Saint Ann Avenue within the RM -15 Residential Multiple -
Family Zone.
2. That the City Council, after proper notice thereof, duly held a public hearing on said
application as provided by law.
3. That in accordance with Section 4.19.080 of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of
Cypress, the City Council hereby finds that:
(a) That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified
regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent
with the objectives of this chapter because compliance with the current driveway buffer
standard would result in substandard driveway widths with insufficient back -up and turning
area for vehicles accessing the proposed garages; and
(b) That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions
applicable to the property involved which do not apply generally to other properties in the
same zone because the subject property has a substandard lot width of fifty feet (50') rather
than the standard 100 -foot lot width required for new subdivisions in the RM -15 Residential
Multiple - Family Zone. Also, the existing driveway width is constrained to approximately
thirteen feet (13') between the existing house and the east property line; and
(c) That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified
regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other
properties in the same zone because, several other similar duplexes exist without driveway
landscape buffers within the same neighborhood tract in the RM -15 Residential Multiple -
Family Zone. Additionally, the subject neighborhood was originally constructed during the
late 1940's with single - family homes including narrow (9 -foot wide) driveways leading to
single -car garages or carports. Further, prior to the 1981 annexation of this area by the City
of Cypress, the County of Orange did not require driveway landscape buffers when two -car
garages and/or duplexes were constructed; and
(d) That the granting of the variance as conditioned will not constitute the
granting of a special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the
vicinity classified in the same zone because, several other driveways without landscape
buffers exist on similar lots, with substandard widths, located within the same neighborhood
tract in the same RM -15 Residential Multiple - Family Zone; and
(e) That 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,
because the proposed project meets all other applicable development standards, including
minimum driveway width and garage back -up /turning area width. Additionally, the
proposed single -story duplex development provides the required number of parking spaces
onsite and, therefore, would not result in any adverse impacts to surrounding properties.
Further, as conditioned, the proposed building addition shall be subject to all applicable
Health and Safety Code, Building Code, Fire Safety Code, and City Code requirements.
