A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION
APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2012-05634 AND
MAKING FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2012- 00050)
(2281 -2299 WEST BALL ROAD)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim ('Planning
Commission ") did receive a verified Petition for Conditional Use Permit No. 2012 -05634 to
construct two drive- through restaurants ( "Proposed Project') for that certain real property
located at 2281 -2299 West Ball Road in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State Of
California, as generally depicted on Exhibit A , attached hereto and incorporated herein by this
reference (the Property "); and
WHEREAS, the Property is developed with commercial buildings consisting in
the aggregate of approximately 170,000 square feet of which 30,000 square feet will be
demolished to construct the Proposed Project. The Property is located in the C -G (General
Commercial) zone and is designated for Commercial Neighborhood Center land uses in the City
of Anaheim General Plan; and
WHEREAS, on December 17, 2012, the Planning Commission did hold a public
hearing at the Civic Center in the City of Anaheim, notice of said public hearing having been
duly given as required by law and in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 18.60 of the
Anaheim Municipal Code, to hear and consider evidence for and against said proposed
conditional use permit and to investigate and maize findings and recommendations in connection
therewith; and
WHEREAS, as the "lead agency" under the California Environmental Quality Act
(Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.; herein referred to as "CEQA "), the Planning
Commission finds and determines, that the Proposed Project is within that class of projects
which consist of replacement or reconstruction meeting the conditions described in Section
15302 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations ( "CEQA Guidelines "). Specifically, the
Proposed Project consists of the demolition of an existing 30,000 square foot building and the
construction of new buildings and facilities consisting in the aggregate of not more than 6,000
square feet on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same
purpose and capacity as the structure replaced. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 15302 of the
CEQA Guidelines, the Proposed Project will not cause a significant effect on the environment
and is, therefore, categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, after due consideration, inspection,
investigation and study made by itself, and after due consideration of, and based upon, all
evidence and reports offered at said hearing, does hereby find:
- 1 - PC2012 -105
1. The Proposed Project is properly one for which a conditional use permit is
authorized by Anaheim Municipal Code Section 18.08.030.010 (Restaurants — Drive Through).
2. The Proposed Project will not adversely affect the adjoining land uses or the
growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located. The drive - though lane
for Parcel 2, as depicted on the proposed Tentative Parcel Map No. 2012 -143 which is being
considered concurrently with the Proposed Project, will be located in close proximity to an
existing single - family residential neighborhood to the west; however, the applicant will be
required to mitigate sound levels by locating and directing the speaker box away from the single
family residences to the greatest extent possible, by constructing an 8 -foot high block wall, and
by installing lush landscaping between the commercial center and the single - family residences to
the west.
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
because the restaurants will be located within an established business area along a major arterial
highway.
4. The traffic generated by the Proposed Project will not impose an undue burden
upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area, since over
30,000 square feet of existing retail space will be eliminated on the site and not more than 6,000
square feet of new uses are proposed to be constructed.
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 similar to other commercial
uses in the area and sound levels generated by the drive- through lanes will be reduced in order to
minimize impacts on the adjacent residential properties to the west.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does
hereby approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2012 - 05634, subject to the conditions of approval 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.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that approval of the Proposed Project is
contingent upon and subject to approval of Tentative Parcel Map No. 2012 -143, now pending.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that any amendment, modification or revocation
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.
-2- PC2012 -105
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the 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 RESOLUTION was adopted at the Planning Commission
meeting of December 17, 2012. Said resolution is subject to the appeal provisions set forth in
Chapter 18.60 "Procedures" of the Anaheim Municipal Code pertaining to appeal procedures and
may be replaced by a City Council Resolution in the event of an appeal.
