APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NO. PC2004 -6 (DEV2011- 00034)
(1500 AND 1620 SOUTH ANAHEIM BOULEVARD)
WHEREAS, on January 12, 2004, the Anaheim City Planning Commission
(hereinafter referred to as 'Planning Commission "), by its Resolution No. PC2004 -6 did approve
Conditional Use Permit 2003 -04817 to permit an indoor sports complex within an existing
industrial building for that certain real property located at 1500 South Anaheim Boulevard in the
City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, as more particularly shown on Exhibit
"A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did receive a verified Petition to amend
Conditional Use Permit No. 2003 -04817 to expand an existing indoor sports complex, permit the
sale of beer and wine for on -site consumption within a restaurant facility, and use an off-site
parking facility on a vacant Southern California Edison (SCE) property located at 1620 South
Anaheim Boulevard; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did receive a verified Petition for
Variance No. 2011 -04859 to permit less parking lot landscaping than required by Code on the
vacant SCE property in conjunction with the indoor sports complex; and
WHEREAS, the 19 -acre subject property at 1500 South Anaheim Boulevard is
developed with two industrial buildings and the 7.7 -acre SCE right -of -way property at 1620
South Anaheim Boulevard is currently vacant. Both properties are located in the I (Industrial)
zone and the Anaheim General Plan designates both properties for General Commercial land
uses; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic
Center in the City of Anaheim on July 6, 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 the
proposed amendment to said conditional use permit and variance and to investigate and make
findings and recommendations in connection therewith; and
WHEREAS, the 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 for a conditional use permit, does find and
determine the following facts:
- 1 - PC2011 -051
1. The request to amend said conditional use permit to expand an existing indoor
sports complex and permit the sale of beer and wine for on -site consumption within a restaurant
facility is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized under Code Section No.
18.10.030.010 (Recreation — Commercial Indoor) and (Alcoholic Beverage Sales — On -Sale) of
the Anaheim Municipal Code.
2. The proposed amendment to the conditional use permit to expand an existing
indoor sports complex and permit the sale of beer and wine for on -site consumption within a
restaurant, 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 commercial and industrial uses.
3. The size and shape of the site for the use is adequate to allow the full
development of the indoor sports complex in a manner not detrimental to the particular area or to
the health and safety because the proposed facility will be located within the existing industrial
building and no outdoor uses are proposed.
4. The traffic generated by the expansion of the indoor sports complex 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 cause any significant impacts
as described in the updated 2011 Traffic Impact and Parking Study prepared by LLG Traffic
Engineers.
5. The project does not conflict with the Anaheim General Plan, including the
Bicycle Master Plan, in that the project does not preclude the future development of a future
pedestrian and bicycle trail along the Southern Califomia Edison (SCE) easement upon
expiration of the current lease agreement between SCE and Katella Operating Properties H.
6. The granting of the conditional use permit 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 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 lot landscaping than required by Code on the
off -site SCE parking lot in conjunction with the indoor sports complex. should be approved for
the following reasons:
SECTION NO. 18.46.060 Repuired parking lot landscaping.
(111 trees required; 38 trees proposed).
1. The variance pertaining to the request for less parking lot landscaping than
required by Code is hereby approved because there are special circumstances applicable to the
property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings since the property owner,
SCE, does not allow the installation of trees and raised planter curbs in most of the parking lot
- 2 - PC2011 -051
area to ensure that vehicular access to the overhead power lines is provided at all times. In
addition, the property has a long and narrow configuration, with a depth of 1,230 feet and narrow
frontages on two streets, and the overhead electrical transmission lines and support towers
occupy most of the property; therefore, there is a minimal amount of area where landscaping can
be installed. Lastly, layered landscaping with trees, shrubs, vines, and grouncdcover will be
provided in the planters along both street frontages and therefore will screen the parking lot from
view of the public rights-of-way.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the PIanning Commission has
reviewed the proposal and does hereby find that 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.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission, for the reasons
hereinabove stated does hereby approve the amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-
04817 and Variance No. 2011 -04859 (DEV2011- 00034) to expand an existing indoor sports
complex, permit the sale of beer and wine for on -site consumption within a restaurant facility,
and use an off -site parking facility on a vacant Southern California Edison (SCE) property with
less parking lot landscaping than required by code.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does hereby
amend, in their entirety, the conditions of approval adopted in connection with Planning
Commission Resolution No. PC2004 -6, approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2003 - 04817, as
previously amended, to read as stated in Exhibit "B" attached hereto and incorporated by this
reference which are hereby found to be a necessary prerequisite to the proposed use of the
subject property in order to preserve the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the
City of Anaheim. Extensions for further time to complete conditions of approval may be granted
in accordance with Section 18.60.170 of the Anaheim Municipal Code.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that, except as expressly amended herein, the
provisions of Resolution No. PC2004 -6, approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2003 - 04817, as
previously amended, shall remain if full force and effect.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this permit is approved without limitations
on the hours of operation or the duration of the use. Amendments, modifications and revocations
of this permit may be processed in accordance with Chapters 18.60.190 (Amendment to Permit
Approval) and 18.60.200 (City - Initiated Revocation or Modification of Permits) of the Anaheim
Municipal Code.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Anaheim City Planning Commission
does hereby find and determine that adoption of this Resolution is expressly predicated upon
applicant's compliance with each and all of the conditions hereinabove set forth. Should any
such condition, or any part thereof, be declared invalid or unenforceable by the final judgment of
any court of competent jurisdiction, then this Resolution, and any approvals herein contained,
shall be deemed null and void.
- 3 - PC2011 -051
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that approval of this application constitutes
approval of the proposed request only to the extent that it complies with the Anaheim Municipal
Zoning Code and any other applicable City, State and Federal regulations. Approval does not
include any action or findings as to compliance or approval of the request regarding any other
applicable ordinance, regulation or requirement.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the applicant is responsible for paying all
charges related to the processing of this discretionary case application within 15 days of the
issuance of the final invoice. Failure to pay all charges shall result in the revocation of the
approval of this application.
