APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2013 -05711
AND MAKING CERTAIN
FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2013- 00121)
(5578 EAST LA PALMA AVENUE)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (hereinafter
referred to as the "Planning Commission ") did receive a verified Petition for Conditional Use
Permit No. 2013 -05711 to permit a physical fitness facility (the "Project ") pursuant to Section
No. 18.120.070.050.0519 of the Anaheim Municipal Code (herein referred to as the "Code ") for
certain real property located at 5578 East La Palma Avenue 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 8.8- acres, is developed
with four freestanding industrial buildings measuring an aggregate total of 124,930 square feet.
The Property is located in the Expanded Industrial Area (Development Area 2) of the Northeast
Area Specific Plan and in the Scenic Corridor Overlay and is subject to the zoning and
development standards of Chapter 18.120 of the Code. The Anaheim General Plan designates
the Property for Office -Low land uses; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic
Center in the City of Anaheim on December 16, 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 Code, to hear and consider evidence for and against said proposed conditional use
permit 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, and that, 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 permit the Project on the Property does find
and determine the following facts:
- 1 - PC2013 -089
1. The proposed conditional use permit request to permit a physical fitness
facility located within an existing industrial property is properly one for which a conditional use
permit is authorized under Section 18.120.070.050.0519 (Health Spas and Physical Fitness
Centers) of the Code; and
2. The proposed conditional use permit to permit a physical fitness facility
within an existing industrial business complex, as conditioned herein, 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 the building is surrounded by compatible buildings and uses; and, the physical
fitness facility would be located within an existing building with no adverse effects to adjoining
land uses.
3. The size and shape of the site for the use is adequate to allow the full
development of the physical fitness facility in a manner not detrimental to the particular area or
to the health and safety because the facility would be located within an existing industrial
business complex.
4. The traffic generated by the physical fitness facility 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 adequate parking will be provided 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 as the
proposed land use will continue to be integrated with the surrounding commercial and industrial
area and would not pose a health or safety risk to the citizens of the City of Anaheim.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Anaheim City Planning
Commission does hereby approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2013 -05711 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
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.
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.
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.
