A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2013 -05679
AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2013- 00016)
(420 SOUTH BROOKHURST STREET)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (herein referred to as
the "Planning Commission ") did receive a verified petition to approve Conditional Use Permit
No. 2013 -05679 to permit a banquet facility which includes a restaurant with the sales of
alcoholic beverages and hookah lounge within an existing building for that certain real property
located at 420 South Brookhurst Street in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of
California, as generally depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated
herein by this reference (the "Property "); and
WHEREAS, the Property, consisting of approximately 1.35 acres, is developed with a
vacant restaurant building. The Property is located in the General Commercial (C -G) Brookhurst
Corridor Overlay (BCC) Zone. The Anaheim General Plan designates the Property for General
Commercial land uses; and
WHEREAS, this Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center
in the City of Anaheim on August 26, 2013 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 Chapter 18.60 of the
Anaheim Municipal Code (herein referred to as the "Code "), to hear and consider evidence for
and against proposed Conditional Use Permit No. 2013 -05679 and to investigate and make
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 the
repair, maintenance, and /or minor alteration of existing public or private structures or facilities,
involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of this determination.
The addition of a second story, consisting of not more than 6,890 square feet, is an example of a
type of project that involves negligible expansion of an existing use because it will not result in an
increase or more than 10,000 square feet and is in an area where all public services and facilities
are available to allow for maximum development permissible in the General Plan and the area in
which the project is located is not environmentally sensitive. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15301
of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, 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 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 to proposed Conditional Use Permit No. 2013 - 05679, has
determined that Conditional Use Permit No. 2013 -05679 should be approved for the following
reasons, does find and determine the following facts:
- 1 - PC2013 -059
I . The proposed request to permit a banquet facility which includes a restaurant with
the sales of alcoholic beverages and hookah lounge within an existing building in the
Commercial General (C -G) Brookhurst Corridor Overlay (BCC) zone is properly one for which
a conditional use permit is authorized by Section 18.08.030.010 of the Code; and
2. The proposed conditional use permit to a banquet facility which includes a
restaurant with the sales of alcoholic beverages and hookah lounge within an existing building
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 all activities will be conducted inside the building;
hours of operation are limited through conditions of approval; and, valet parking will be utilized
in the parking lot adjacent to the residential properties in order to reduce potential impacts on
adjacent residential properties; and
3. The size and shape of the site for the use is adequate to allow the full development
of the proposed project in a manner not detrimental to either the particular area nor to the health,
safety and general welfare of the public because the Property is currently improved with a
restaurant building; the proposal to construct a second story addition will not expand beyond the
existing footprint of the building will not exceed the permitted building height of the zone; and
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 because the
traffic generated by this use will not exceed the anticipated volumes of traffic on the surrounding
streets and there is adequate parking on -site to accommodate the use;
5. 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 and will provide a
land use that is compatible with the surrounding area.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does hereby
approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2013- 05679, contingent upon and subject to the conditions
of approval described in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference,
which are hereby found to be a necessary prerequisite to the proposed use of the 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 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 Code, and (iii) the applicant has demonstrated significant
progress toward establishment of the use or approved development.
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 Code.
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.
-2- PC2013 -059
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that approval of this application constitutes approval of
the proposed request only to the extent that it complies with the 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
August 26, 2013. Said Resolution is subject to the appeal provisions set forth in Chapter 18.60
( "Zoning Provisions - General ") of the Anaheim Municipal Code pertaining to appeal procedures
