WHEREAS, on April 28, 1997, and subject to certain conditions of approval, the
Anaheim City Planning Commission (hereinafter referred to as the "Planning Commission "), by
its Resolution No. PC97 -45, did approve Conditional Use Permit No. 3926 to permit a trailer
sales and repair facility(herein referred to as the "Original CUP ") on that certain real property
located at 725 South Beach Boulevard in the City of Anaheim, generally depicted on the map
attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference (the "Property "); and
WHEREAS, the Anaheim City Planning Commission did receive a verified
petition to amend the Original CUP allow sales of pre -owned vehicles, automotive repair and
office dispatch of tow vehicles for emergency roadside services pursuant to Section 18.60.190 of
the Anaheim Municipal Code (the "Code ") for certain real property situated in the City of
Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, shown on Exhibit A , attached hereto and
incorporated herein by this reference (the "Property "); and
WHEREAS, this Property is currently developed with a trailer sales and repair
facility which is now proposed to allow sales of pre -owned vehicles, automotive repair and
office dispatch of tow vehicles for emergency roadside services. It is located in the General
Commercial (C -G) Zone and the Anaheim General Plan designates this property 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 October 21, 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 (Procedures) of the Code, to hear and consider evidence for and against said proposed
amendment to the Original CUP 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 amendment to the Original CUP
(Conditional Use Permit No. 3926A) 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, and that, therefore, pursuant to Section 15301 of Title 14 of the California Code
of Regulations, the proposed amendment to the Original CUP will not cause a significant effect
on the environment and is, therefore, categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA; and
- 1 - PC2013 -076
WHEREAS, said 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 for an amendment to the Original CUP, does find and determine
the following facts:
1. The proposal to amend the Original CUP to allow sales of pre -owned vehicles,
automotive repair and office dispatch of tow vehicles for emergency roadside services properly
one for which a conditional use permit is authorized under Section 18.08.030.010 of the Code;
2. The requested amendment of the Original CUP to allow sales of pre -owned
vehicles, automotive repair and office dispatch of tow vehicles for emergency roadside services
will not adversely affect the surrounding land uses, or the growth and development of the area in
which it is proposed to be located because the proposed\ facility is comparable to the existing use
and has proven to be compatible with surrounding land uses within the area;
3. The size and shape of the site for the sales of pre -owned vehicles, automotive
repair and office dispatch of tow vehicles for emergency roadside services is adequate to allow
the full development of the proposed use, in a manner not detrimental to either the particular area
or health and safety;
4. The traffic generated by the proposed amendment to the Original CUP to allow
sales of pre -owned vehicles, automotive repair and office dispatch of tow vehicles for emergency
roadside services will not impose an undue burden upon the streets and highways designed and
improved to carry the traffic in the area because the number of vehicles entering and exiting the
Property is consistent with typical businesses that are permitted as a matter of right within the
General Commercial (C -G) Zone; and
5. The granting of the amendment to the Original CUP 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.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission, for the reasons
hereinabove stated does hereby approve an amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 3926
(Conditional Use Permit No. 3926A) to permit the sales of pre -owned vehicles, automotive
repair and office dispatch of tow vehicles for emergency roadside services on property located at
725 South Beach Boulevard, 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 subject Property in order to preserve the safety
and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Anaheim.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this permit is approved without limitations
on 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.
-2- PC2013 -076
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 Conditional Use Permit No.
3926A 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
