OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING
TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 17657 AND
MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2013- 00083)
(1531 -1627 EAST LINCOLN AVENUE)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (the "Planning
Commission ") did receive a verified Petition for Tentative Tract Map No. 17657 to establish a
14 -lot airspace condominium subdivision to permit the construction of 76- condominium units,
including six lettered lots for non - residential purposes (the "Proposed Project "), for that certain
real property located at 1531 -1627 East Lincoln Avenue 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, Tentative Tract Map No. 17657 is proposed in conjunction with
Conditional Use Permit No. 2013 - 05687; and
WHEREAS, the Property, consisting of approximately 4.65- acres, is currently
developed with commercial and residential uses proposed to be demolished as part of the
Proposed Project. The Anaheim General Plan designates the Property for Low - Medium Density
Residential land uses. The underlying zone of the Property is the "C -G" General Commercial
Zone; however, the Property is also located within the Residential Opportunity (RO) Overlay
Zone, which is consistent with the designation of the Property under the Anaheim General Plan
and provides that the Property may be developed in accordance with the uses and requirements
of the "RM -3" Multiple - Family Residential Zone designation under Chapter 18.06 (Multiple -
Family Residential Zone) of the Anaheim Municipal Code (the "Code "); and
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 (herein referred to as the "Code "), to hear and consider
evidence for and against the proposed Project 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 Supplemental Environmental Impact Report No. 346
( "SEIR 346 "), certified in conjunction with the City's General Plan Update program, is all that is
necessary in connection with the Proposed Project and its approval and that none of the
conditions set forth in Sections 15162 or 15163 of the State CEQA Guidelines calling for the
preparation of a subsequent environmental impact report or a supplement to SEIR 346 have
occurred; and
- 1 - PC2014 -008
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 Proposed Project, does find and determine the following
facts:
1. That the proposed tentative tract map for condominium purposes, including its
design and improvements, is consistent with the Low - Medium Density Residential land use
designation of the Anaheim General Plan and the "RM -3" Multiple - Family Residential Zone and
with the zoning and development standards contained in Chapters 18.06 (Multiple - Family
Residential Zone), as implemented by Chapter 18.34 (Residential Opportunity (RO) Overlay
Zone), of the Code;
2. That the site is physically suitable for the type and size of the Proposed Project;
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. No sensitive
environmental habitat has been identified on the Property.
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 improvements will
be constructed on the Property in compliance with requirements of the Code; and
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 Tentative Tract Map No. 17657, subject to and contingent upon the approval of
Conditional Use Permit No. 2013- 05687, now pending, and upon satisfaction of 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 said 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 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- PC2014 -008
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.
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
Section 17.08.104 of the Code pertaining to appeal procedures and may be replaced by a City
Council Resolution in the event of an appeal.
