A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION
APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2004-
04844 AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2013- 00125)
(611 SOUTH BROOKHURST STREET)
WHEREAS, on August 3, 2004, pursuant to the appeal of the action taken by the
Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (the "Planning Commission ") at its regular
meeting of June 30, 2004, the City Council of the City of Anaheim, by adoption of its Resolution
No. 2004 -171, did approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2004 -04844 and Public Convenience or
Necessity No. 2004 -00015 to permit sales of alcoholic beverages for off -site consumption in
conjunction with a drug store (herein referred to as the "Original CUP ") on that certain real
property located at 611 South Brookhurst Street in the City of Anaheim, which is generally
depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference (the
"Property "); and
WHEREAS, City Council Resolution No. 2004 -171 contained the following
condition of approval:
"1. That the sale of alcoholic beverages for off - premises
consumption shall expire one (1) year from the date of
occupancy."
WHEREAS, on September 19, 2005 and June 12, 2006, as Report and
Recommendation items, the Planning Commission reviewed and approved requests for time
extensions for the overall project in order to allow the applicant additional time to comply with
conditions of approval; and
WHEREAS, the Property is approximately 1.08 acres in size and is developed
with a 19,838 square foot drug store with sales of alcoholic beverages for off -site consumption
that has been operating since 2007; and
WHEREAS, the Property is located in and subject to the regulations and
development standards of the General Commercial ( "C -G ") Zone, except as otherwise specified
in the Brookhurst Commercial Corridor (BCC) Overlay Zone. The Anaheim General Plan
designates the Property for Low- Medium Density Residential land uses; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did receive a verified Petition for an
amendment to the Original CUP (herein referred to as "Conditional Use Permit No. 2004 -
04844B") to delete the above -noted condition of approval establishing a one -year time limitation
for the sales of alcoholic beverages for off -site consumption (collectively referred to herein as
the "proposed project "); and
WHEREAS, the conditions of approval which were the subject of the Original
CUP shall be referred to herein collectively as the 'Previous Conditions of Approval "; and
- 1 - PC2014 -002
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic
Center in the City of Anaheim on January 13, 2014 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 (the "Code "), to hear and consider evidence for and
against said proposed amendment to the Original CUP 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
consists 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 pertaining to the request for an amendment to the Original CUP to delete
a condition, does find and determine the following facts:
1. The proposed amendment of the Original CUP to delete a condition of approval
pertaining to a time limitation for the sales of alcoholic beverages for off -site consumption at an
existing drug store is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by Section
18.08.030 (Uses) of the Zoning Code; and
2. The proposed amendment to the Original CUP would not adversely affect the
adjoining land uses, or the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be
located because the sales of alcoholic beverages is consistent with the existing operational
characteristics of the drug store. Further, the drug store has operated with the sales of alcoholic
beverages for over six years and this approval includes additional conditions of approval that will
serve to reduce criminal activity on the property.
3. The size and shape of the site 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
general welfare of the public because the site can accommodate the parking, traffic flows, and
circulation without creating detrimental effects on adjacent properties. Moreover, the Property is
currently developed with a drug store with no proposed expansion of the existing building; and
4. The proposed amendment to the Original CUP will have no effect upon traffic
generated by the existing drugstore and will not impose an undue burden upon the streets and
highways designed and improved to cant' the traffic in the area. Deletion of the time limitation
for the sales of alcoholic beverages for off -site consumption will not result in an increase in the
existing volume of traffic. In addition, the number of vehicles entering and exiting the Property
is consistent with typical retail 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
maintain a land use that is compatible with the surrounding area.
-2- PC2014 -002
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that this Planning Commission does
hereby approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2004- 04844B, thereby amending the Original CUP.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the conditions of approval attached to this
Resolution as Exhibit B amend the Previous Conditions of Approval and hereby replace the
Previous Conditions of Approval in their entirety and, therefore, reflect the amendment and
restatement of the Prior Conditions of Approval and the conditions of approval attached to this
Resolution as Exhibit B shall control and govern the Property.
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 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.
2004- 04844B 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.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION was adopted at the Planning Commission
meeting of January 13, 2014. Said resolution is subject to the appeal provisions set forth in
Chapter 18.60 (Procedures) of the Code pertaining to appeal procedures and may be replaced by
a City Council Resolution in the event of an appeal.
