A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION
DEIERMINING THAT CLASS 1 CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION
IS THE APPROPRIATE ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION
AND APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2010 -05535
AND VARIANCE NO. 2010 -04840
(DEV2010- 00175)
(2660 WEST LA PALMA AVENUE)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did receive a verified Petition to approve
Conditional Use Permit No. 2010 -05535 and Variance No. 2010 -04840 to establish a banquet
facility with alcohol service with less parking than required by Code; and
WHEREAS, this 2 -acre property is developed with a 20,169 square foot
commercial retail building. The property is located in the C -G (General Commercial) zone and
the Anaheim General Plan designates the property for Neighborhood Center land uses; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic
Center in the City of Anaheim on January 31, 2011, at 5:00 p.m., notice of said public hearing
having been duly given as required by law and in accordance with the provisions of the Anaheim
Municipal Code, Chapter 18.60, to hear and consider evidence for and against said proposed
tentative parcel map and conditional use permit to investigate and make findings and
recommendations in connection therewith; and
WHEREAS, said Planning Commission, after due inspection, investigation and
study made by itself and in its behalf, and after due consideration of all evidence and reports
offered at said hearing with respect to the request to establish a banquet facility with alcohol
service with less parking than required by Code should be approved for the following reasons:
1. The proposed request to establish a banquet facility with alcohol service in the
General Commercial (C -G) zone is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized
by Anaheim Municipal Code Section 18.10.030.010 (Community and Religious Assembly).
2. The proposed the conditional use permit to establish a banquet facility in an
existing commercial building, as conditioned herein, would not adversely affect the adjoining
land uses and the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located
because the building is surrounded by and integrated with similar buildings and uses; and the
peak hours of the proposed banquet facility will occur while the adjacent businesses will be
closed.
1 - PC2011 -006
3. The size and shape of the site for the use is adequate to allow the full development
of proposed banquet facility in a manner not detrimental to the particular area or to the health
and safety because the proposed banquet facility will be located within an existing commercial
building and is surrounded by compatible commercial uses.
4. The traffic generated by the proposed banquet facility will not impose an undue
burden upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area
because the traffic generated by this use will occur after the highest peak afternoon hours on the
adjacent highways.
5. The granting of the conditional use permit and the variance under the conditions
imposed will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim as
the proposed banquet facility will be compatible with the surrounding area because the use is
integrated with other uses on the property and is not a health or safety risk to the citizens of the
City of Anaheim.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission does further find and determine that the
request for a variance to permit less parking than required by Code in conjunction with a banquet
facility should be approved for the following reasons:
SECTION NO. 18.42.040.010
Minimum number of parking spaces.
(252 spaces required for the entire commercial
center; 124 spaces proposed).
1. The requested variance is hereby approved based upon the findings and
conclusions contained in a parking demand study prepared by K2 Traffic Engineering, Inc. dated
December 23, 2010, to determine the number of parking spaces necessary for the proposed
banquet facility. The study concludes that the existing number of parking spaces was sufficient
as 107 spaces would be needed for all existing and proposed uses, including the new banquet
facility. The study also concludes that banquet events would occur primarily during evening and
weekend hours when the other businesses in the center were not open.
2. The variance will not increase traffic congestion since all parking will be
contained on the subject property. Further, the project does not propose new ingress or egress
points and is designed to allow adequate on -site circulation and therefore will not impede
vehicular ingress to or egress from adjacent properties upon the public streets in the immediate
vicinity of the banquet facility.
WHEREAS, the proposed project falls within the definition of Categorical
Exemptions, Section 15301, Class 1 (Existing Facilities) as defined in the State CEQA
Guidelines, and is therefore, exempt from the requirement to prepare additional environmental
documentation.
