A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION
DETERMINING THAT CLASS 1 CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION
IS THE APPROPRIATE ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION
AND APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2010-05528
AND VARIANCE NO. 2011 -04846
(DEV2010- 00157)
(1557 NORTH GEMINI PLACE)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did receive a verified Petition for
Conditional Use Permit No. 2010-05528 and Variance No. 2010 -04846 to retain an existing
vocational training facility within an existing industrial building with fewer parking spaces than
allowed by code for certain real property in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of
California shown on Exhibit "A ", attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference; and
WHEREAS, this 1.97 acre property is developed with a 7,200 square foot
industrial building. The property is located in the Industrial (I) zone and the Anaheim General
Plan designates the property for Industrial land uses; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic
Center in the City of Anaheim on March 14, 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
conditional use permit and variance 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 a vocational training facility with fewer
parking spaces than allowed by code should be approved for the following reasons:
1. The proposed the conditional use permit request to retain a vocational training
facility within an existing industrial building is properly one for which a conditional use permit
is authorized under Code Section Nos. 18.10.030.0402 (Educational Institutions) of the Anaheim
Municipal Code.
2. The proposed the conditional use permit to retain a vocational training facility
within an existing industrial 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 industrial
uses; and, the vocational training facility is located within an existing industrial building with no
adverse affects to adjoining land uses.
1 PC2011 -013
3, The size and shape of the site for the use is adequate to allow the full development
of the vocational facility in a manner not detrimental to the particular area or to the health and
safety because the facility is located within an existing industrial building.
4. The traffic generated by the vocational 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 not exceed the anticipated volumes of traffic on the surrounding
streets.
5. The granting of the conditional use permit and 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 land use will continue to be integrated with the surrounding industrial area and
would not pose 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 an
industrial training facility should be approved for the following reasons:
SECTION NO. 18.42.040.010 Minimum number of parking spaces.
(25 spaces required; 17 spaces proposed).
1. The variance, under the conditions imposed will not cause fewer off - street
parking spaces to be provided for the vocational training facility than the number of such spaces
necessary to accommodate all vehicles attributable to such use under the normal and reasonably
foreseeable conditions of the training facility because the facility has been operating at the site
for 22 years and has not adversely affected neighboring properties during that time.
2, The variance, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not increase the demand
and competition for parking spaces upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of the
proposed use because the on -site parking for the vocational training facility has adequately
accommodated the peak parking demands of the site.
3. The variance will not increase traffic congestion within the off - street parking
areas provided for vocational training facility since all parking is contained on -site and will not
encroach into other parking facilities and the supply of parking is adequate for the vocational
training facility. 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
vocational training 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.
