A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING
TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 2013 -164 AND
MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2013- 00064)
(2243 SOUTH LOARA STREET)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim ( "Planning
Commission ") did receive a verified petition for a subdivision of land, designated as Tentative
Parcel Map No. 2013 -164 for that certain real property located at 2243 South Loara Street in the
City of Anaheim, as generally depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated
herein by this reference (the "Property "); and
WHEREAS, the Property is currently developed with a vacant single- family
residence and is located in the T (Transition) Zone. As part of this entitlement request, it is
proposed that the Property be reclassified to the Single - Family Residential (RS -3) zone as a
concurrent action by the Planning Commission (herein referred to as "Reclassification No. 2013-
00256"). The Anaheim General Plan designates this Property for Low - Medium Density
Residential land uses; and
WHEREAS, the applicant requests a tentative parcel map in order to establish a 2-
lot residential subdivision to allow the future development of two single - family homes on the
Property; and
WHEREAS, on October 7, 2013, 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
(Procedures) of the Anaheim Municipal Code (the "Code "), to hear and consider evidence for
and against said proposed Tentative Parcel Map No. 2013 -164 and Reclassification No. 2013-
00256 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 "), and assuming that
the Planning Commission has concurrently but prior in time to the adoption of this Resolution
approved Reclassification No. 2013- 00256, the Planning Commission finds and determines that
proposed Tentative Parcel Map 2013 -164 is within that class of projects which consist of in -fill
development meeting the conditions described in Section 15332 of Title 14 of the California
Code of Regulations ( "CEQA Guidelines "). Specifically, proposed Tentative Parcel Map 2013-
164 (a) is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation and all applicable General Plan
policies, as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations, (b) is no more than five
acres in size substantially surrounded by urban uses, (c) has no value as a habitat for
endangered, rare or threatened species, (d) would not result in significant effects relating to
traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality, and (e) the Property can be adequately served by all
required utilities and public services. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 15332 of the CEQA
Guidelines, proposed Tentative Parcel Map 2013 -164 will not cause a significant effect on the
environment and is, therefore, categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA; and
- 1 - PC2013 -072
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 pertaining to the request to permit a two -lot residential subdivision for the
future construction of two single - family homes on the Property, does find and determine the
following facts:
1. That the proposed subdivision, including its design and improvements, is
consistent with the Low - Medium Density Residential land use designation in the
Anaheim General Plan and the development standards contained in the RS -3 (Single -
Family Residential) zone.
2. That the site is physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed
residential subdivision.
3. That the design of the subdivision is not likely to cause substantial
environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their
habitat, as no sensitive environmental habitat has been identified.
4. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements is not
likely to cause serious public health problems, since any new structures and associated
site improvements will be constructed on the property in compliance with Code
requirements.
5. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not
conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of
property within the proposed subdivision.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that this Planning Commission does
hereby approve proposed Tentative Parcel Map No. 2013 -154, subject to the conditions of
approval described 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 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 18.50.170 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 Tentative Parcel Map No. 2013 -164 is
expressly contingent upon City Council approval of an ordinance reclassifying the Property in
accordance with Reclassification No. 2013- 00256. This Resolution shall not constitute a
rezoning of, or a commitment by the City to rezone, the subject Property; any said rezoning shall
require an ordinance of the City Council which shall be a legislative act which may be approved
or denied by the City Council at its sole discretion.
-2- PC2013 -072
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
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 October 7, 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 and may be replaced by a City Council Resolution in the event of an appeal.
