by law and, as a result thereof. the City Council does hereby make the following findings:
1. That a nightclub, health spa and projecting signs in the Anaheim Resort Specific
Plan zone are uses and signs for which a conditional use permit is authorized by Anaheim
Municipal Code Sections 18.1 16.070.0402 (Public Dance Hall and Massage Establishment) and
18.1 16.160.130 (Projecting Signs). and further, that murals visible to the public right -of -way,
building integrated multi tenant signs and changeable copy signs not visible to the public right-
of are signs for which a conditional use permit would be authorized based upon approval of
Amendment No. 13 to the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan (SPN2008- 00055) and Amendment No.
4 to The Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape Program (Miscellaneous Case No. 2009-
00297), now pending.
2 That the proposed nightclub, health spa, changeable copy sign, building integrated
multi- tenant signs, projecting signs and lifestyle image displays (murals visible to the public
right -of -way) are consistent with the intent of the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan, as proposed for
amendment. These components will complement and enhance the tourism- related land uses in
The Anaheim Resort area, and will not adversely affect the adjoining land uses or the growth and
dev elopment of the area.
3 That the size and shape of the site is adequate to allow the full development of the
proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area nor to the health, safety and
general welfare of the public because all of the above mentioned uses are integrated with the
proposed hotel complex. Full development of the nightclub and health spa was given careful
consideration during project design, and is sufficiently accommodated within the proposed
building program. Therefore, the full development of the proposed uses will not be detrimental
to the particular area or to the health. safety and general welfare of the public.
4 That the traffic generated by the proposed project would not impose an undue
burden upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area. A
traffic study has been prepared for project which assessed the nightclub and health spa uses,
along with other land use components of the project, in the trip generation analysis. The
project's potential traffic impacts were evaluated in the Mitigated Negative Declaration, which
indicated that project traffic impacts would he less than significant with the implementation of
appropriate mitigation measures.
