Latest version.
  • Conditional exceptions to the regulation contained in this chapter shall be permitted upon a finding by the City Engineer that exceptional or special circumstances apply to the property. Such exceptional or special circumstances shall include unusual size, shape or topography of the property, drainage problems, or the impracticability of employing a conforming grading plan, layout, or lot line positioning by reason of prior recorded subdivisions or characteristics of contiguous properties.

The City Engineer shall hold a public hearing upon such application, notice of the time and place of such hearing shall be given by publication at least once in a newspaper of general circulation, circulated in the City of Anaheim, and mailing written notice thereof to all property owners shown on the latest equalized assessment roll as owning real property within three hundred feet of the property which is the subject of the application at least ten days before the hearing. The decision of the City Engineer shall be final and conclusive. (Ord. 3411 § 2 (part); April 1, 1975; Ord. 4509 § 1; June 5, 1984: Ord. 5197 § 2; January 8, 1991.)

    PROCEDURES FOR DESIGNING LANDSCAPE SLOPES
    1. Determine type and size of slope (43,560 sq. ft.) = 1 acre.
    2. Use recommended plant list (Tables I, II, and III) to determine selection of plants and size.
    3. Use sq. ft. figures on plant list to determine quantity of plants to be used in the design.
    EXAMPLE:
    Type of slope: Show slope (40% trees, 50% shrubs, 100% ground cover) Trees (40%) - 17,424 sq. ft.
    15 Alnus rhombifolia (300 sq. ft.) = 4,500 sq. ft.
    10 Ceratonia siliqua (300 sq. ft.) = 3,000 sq. ft.

    10 Koelreuteria formosana (500 sq. ft.) = 5,000 sq. ft.
    5 Pinus halepensis (700 sq. ft.) = 3,500 sq. ft.
    60 trees Total 17,500 sq. ft.
    Shrubs (50%) — 21,780 sq. ft.
    50 Callistemon jeffersii (15 sq. ft.) = 750 sq. ft.
    40 Fremontia Californica (175 sq. ft.) = 3,000 sq. ft.
    200 Hebe species (20 sq. ft.) = 4,000 sq. ft.

    80 Nerium oleander (50 sq. ft.) = 4,500 sq. ft.
    430 shrubs 21,050 sq. ft.
    Ground Cover (100%)
    3,731 Osteospermum
    fruticosum (12" o.c.) = 43,560 sq. ft.
