WHEREAS, on October 12, 1995, the Anaheim Zoning Administrator, by

permit a 900 square foot expansion to the existing 1,209 square foot restaurant with the sale of
beer and wine for on- premises consumption; and
WHEREAS, the Anaheim City Planning Commission (hereinafter referred to as
"Planning Commission ") did receive a verified petition to amend Conditional Use Permit No.
3798 to further expand an existing restaurant and upgrade a Type 41 (On -Sale Beer and Wine)
ABC license to a Type 47 (On -Sale General) ABC license, which would allow the full sale of
alcoholic beverages for on- premises consumption, for that certain real property located at 721
South Weir Canyon Road, Suites 123-125 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 subject property is developed with a neighborhood shopping
center and is located in the SP 88 -1, Development Area 2 (SC) (Sycamore Canyon Specific Plan,
Commercial Area, Scenic Corridor Overlay) zone. The Anaheim General Plan designates this
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 April 23, 2012, 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 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 for an amendment to the conditional use
permit, does find and determine the following facts:
- 1 PC2012 -025
1. The request to amend the permit for an existing restaurant is properly one for
which a conditional use permit is authorized under Code Section No. 18.08.030.010 (Alcoholic
Beverage Sales - On Sale) of the Anaheim Municipal Code.
2. The operation of the restaurant, including the proposed expansion, will not
adversely affect the adjoining land uses or the growth and development of the area in which it is
proposed to be located, as conditioned herein.
3. The size and shape of the site for the use is adequate to allow the full development
of the proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area or to the health and safety
as the operation of the restaurant is consistent with the operational characteristics of the shopping
center.
4. The traffic generated by the proposed use 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 volume of traffic planned for the streets and highways
in the area.
5. The granting of the conditional use permit will not be detrimental to the health
and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim because the use is a bonafide full service
restaurant with accessory alcoholic beverage sales and the restaurant is located within an existing
commercial building at the intersection of two arterial highways.
WHEREAS, the proposed project falls within the definition of Categorical
Exemptions, Class 1 (Existing Facilities) as defined in the State CEQA Guidelines, and is
therefore, exempt from the requirement to prepare additional environmental documentation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission, for the
reasons hereinabove stated does hereby approve an amendment to Conditional Use Permit No.
3798 as described above.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does hereby
amend and restate the conditions of approval adopted in connection with Conditional Use Permit
No. 3798, to read as stated in Exhibit `B" attached hereto and incorporated herein by this
reference, which conditions 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. Timing for
compliance with conditions of approval may be amended by the Planning Director upon a
showing of good cause provided (i) equivalent timing is established that satisfies the original
intent and purpose of the condition (s), (ii) the modification complies with the Anaheim
Municipal Code and (iii) the applicant has demonstrated significant progress toward
establishment of the use or approved development.
- 2 - PC2012 -025
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, except as expressly amended herein, the
provisions of Resolution Nos. ZA95 -28 and ZA98 -30, approving Conditional Use Permit No.
3798, shall remain if full force and effect.
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.
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.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUT C was adopted at the Planning Commission
