A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM REVOKING VARIANCE NO. 2009-04795
RELATED TO A PROPOSED COMMERCIAL RETAIL
CENTER LOCATED AT 5635 EAST LA PALMA AVENUE
AND MAKING FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.
(DEV2009-00042A)
(5635 EAST LA PALMA AVENUE)
WHEREAS, on August 17, 1987, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim
(herein referred to as the "Planning Commission") approved Conditional Use Permit No. 2905 to
permit the construction of a 40-foot high multi-screen indoor theater complex with a waiver of
the minimum number of parking spaces then required by the Anaheim Municipal Code (herein
referred to as the "Code") from 712 to 478 on that certain real property located at 5635 East La
Palma 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"). On January 16, 1989, the
subject petition was re-advertised for review of revised plans, which were subsequently approved
by the Planning Commission to permit a 55-foot high, 2,500 seat multi-screen indoor theater
with a waiver of the minimum number of off-street parking spaces then required by the Code
from 757 to 526, which represented 80% of the Code-required number of off-street parking
spaces; and
WHEREAS, by the adoption of its Resolution No. 91-110 on July 29, 1991, the Planning
Commission approved Conditional Use Permit No. 3414 (herein referred to as "CUP 3414") to
permit the expansion of the aforementioned multi-screen indoor theater complex and to construct
a 29-foot high parking structure with 160 parking spaces for the purpose of meeting the Code-
required off-street parking requirements. CUP 3414 required that the number of seats in the
theater complex would not exceed a number such that the number of off-street parking spaces
provided would not be less than 80% of the number of parking spaces then required by the Code
based upon the number of seats in the theater complex; and
WHEREAS, in response to the request of the then petitioner for approval of a revised site
phasing plan relating to the delayed construction of the aforementioned parking structure, the
Planning Commission adopted its Resolution No. PC92-122 on October 19, 1992, approving the
construction of the expansion of the theater complex as Phase I and the construction of the
aforementioned parking structure as Phase II so long as the available parking spaces for the
theater complex, consisting of both on- and off-site spaces, would at all times comprise 80% of
the minimum number of parking spaces then required by the Code for the theater complex. The
Planning Commission also added three (3) additional conditions of approval to CUP 3414,
which, among other things, required the petitioner to submit a plan to the City showing the
number, location and size of all existing on- and off-site parking spaces together with parking
agreements committing off-site parking spaces for use by the theater complex subject to the
requirement that the total combined number of spaces would be at least 80% of the minimum
then required by the Code for all the seats in the theater and provided that the number of seats in
the theater complex would be reduced if the 80% requirement could not be achieved; and
2 PC2014-***
WHEREAS, upon appeal of the decision of the Planning Commission contained in its
Resolution No. PC92-122, the City Council of the City of Anaheim (herein referred to as the
"City Council") adopted its Resolution No. 92R-246 on December 8, 1992, amending CUP 3414
and Planning Commission Resolution No. PC91-110, which had the effect of approving a
revised site phasing plan relating to the delayed construction of the aforementioned parking
structure and adding the same three (3) conditions of approval that had been added by the
Planning Commission by the adoption of its Resolution No. PC91-110, which are set forth herein
below as follows:
"28. That prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the theater
annex:
(a) A plan shall be submitted to the Zoning Division of the Planning
Department for review and approval, showing the final existing seat
counts for each theater in the multi-plex theater complex and the actual
number, location and size of all existing on-site parking spaces (the
minimum parking space width shall be eight and one half [8-1/2] feet
except that where the adjacent driveway aisle is narrower than required by
Code and/or City standards, the minimum space width shall be nine [9]
feet). Said plan shall have been prepared and certified by a registered
architect and/or certified civil engineer as to accuracy (the Planning
Department may, by field inspection, verify the accuracy of such plan).
Said plan shall show that, including any city-approved off-site parking
spaces, the total combined number of spaces is at least eighty
percent (80%) of the minimum required by Code for all the seats in the
theaters. If the minimum eighty percent (80%) parking ratio has not been
achieved, the number of seats in the theaters shall be reduced
proportionally and a new plan shall be submitted to the Planning
Department for review and approval.
(b) Parking agreements shall be obtained by the petitioner for any off-site
parking and said agreements shall be submitted to the Zoning Division for
review and approval by the City Attorney's office and the City Traffic and
Transportation Manager. Any future changes to the seat counts for the
theaters and/or number and/or location of required parking spaces shall be
submitted to the Zoning Division for further review and approval.
29. That the petitioner shall be responsible for paying the fee for each
separate code enforcement inspection conducted by staff for the purpose
of verifying that adequate parking is being provided relative to the
number of seats in the theaters, based on at least eighty percent (80%) of
the minimum number of parking spaces required by Code being provided.
Such inspection(s) may be made monthly until construction of the parking
structure (Phase II) is completed and a valid determination can be made as
to the adequacy of the available parking.
3 PC2014-***
30. That within a period of six (6) months from the date of this resolution,
the Planning Department will submit a "Reports and Recommendation"
staff report to the Planning Commission discussing the status of subject
multi-plex theater complex: the number of seats in the theaters, the
number of parking spaces (both on-site and off-site), whether the parking
structure is being constructed, and the status of the Imperial Promenade
development construction and its parking availability. The Planning
Commission may thereupon schedule a public hearing in connection with
the three conditional use permits which include parking waivers for
development on subject property (Nos. 2905 and 3414) and on the
adjacent commercial retail center to the east (No. 3253). The purpose of
such public hearing(s) would be to modify the condition(s) of approval or
other aspects of the use permit(s) pertaining to the parking
waiver(s). If the purpose of modifying a previously approved conditional
use permit is to further reduce the number of proposed parking spaces
(that is, increase the parking waiver), it shall be the underlying petitioner's
responsibility to file for and pay for such public hearing, and to provide
the appropriate traffic and parking studies to support such
request."
WHEREAS, Conditional Use Permit No. 2905, CUP 3414 and Planning Commission
Resolution No. PC91-110, as amended by City Council Resolution No. 92R-246, shall be
referred to herein collectively as the "Theater Entitlements"; and
WHEREAS, the conditions of approval which were the subject of the Theater
Entitlements shall be referred to herein collectively as the "Theater Conditions of Approval" and
constitute a part of the Theater Entitlements such that any reference to the Theater Entitlements
in this Resolution is deemed and construed to refer to both the Theater Entitlements and the
Theater Conditions of Approval; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Theater Entitlements, the Property was thereafter developed
and is currently improved with a 1,795-seat movie theater and 190-space parking structure,
which may sometimes be referred to in this Resolution as the "Theater Complex"; and
WHEREAS, on December 8, 2009, and subject to certain conditions of approval, the City
Council, by its Resolution No. 2009-174, approved Conditional Use Permit No. 2008-05372 and
Variance No. 2009-04795 to permit the construction on the Property of a 10,000 square foot
commercial retail building with fewer parking spaces than required by the Code; and
WHEREAS, on January 14, 2013 and subject to certain conditions of approval, the
Planning Commission, by the adoption of its Resolution No. PC2013-004, approved Conditional
Use Permit No. 2008-05372A. The approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2008-05372A
operated to amend Conditional Use Permit No. 2008-05372, thereby permitting the construction
of a 3,591 square foot drive-through restaurant in conjunction with a 4,375 square foot retail
building with an outdoor dining area consisting of 500 square feet. The Planning Commission
concurrently approved that portion of Variance No. 2012-04917 that permits the installation of
sign cabinets on an existing legal non-conforming freestanding sign at the Property; however, the
Planning Commission denied that portion of Variance No. 2012-04917 that would have
4 PC2014-***
permitted the installation of an electronic reader-board sign in place of an existing legal non-
conforming freestanding sign at the Property; and
WHEREAS, Variance No. 2009-04795 was not amended or modified concurrently with
the Planning Commission's approval on January 14, 2013 of Conditional Use Permit No. 2008-
05372A because the number of parking spaces proposed for the project approved under
Conditional Use Permit No. 2008-05372A were essentially the same as the number of parking
spaces that had been approved in 2009 under Conditional Use Permit No. 2008-05372; and
WHEREAS, upon appeal of the Planning Commission's action on January 14, 2013, as
evidenced by the adoption of its Resolution No. PC2013-004, and following a noticed public
hearing held on March 5, 2013, the City Council adopted its Resolution No. 2013-041, which
had the effect of upholding the action of the Planning Commission, i.e., approval of Conditional
Use Permit No. 2008-05372A and a portion of Variance No. 2012-04917; and
WHEREAS, Conditional Use Permit No. 2008-05372, Conditional Use Permit No. 2008-
05372A, Variance No. 2009-04795 and Variance No. 2012-04917 shall be referred to herein
collectively as the "Retail Entitlements"; and
WHEREAS, the uses to which the Retail Entitlements relate may sometimes be referred
to herein as the "Retail Uses"; and
WHEREAS, the conditions of approval which were the subject of Conditional Use
Permit No. 2008-05372 and Variance No. 2009-04795 were amended, modified and
supplemented by the adoption of City Council Resolution No. 2013-041 on March 5, 2013.
Accordingly, the conditions of approval which were the subject of Conditional Use Permit No.
2008-05372, Conditional Use Permit No. 2008-05372A, Variance No. 2009-04795 and Variance
No. 2012-04917 shall be referred to herein collectively as the "Retail Conditions of Approval"
and constitute a part of the Retail Entitlements such that any reference to the Retail Entitlements
in this Resolution is deemed and construed to refer to both the Retail Entitlements and the Retail
Conditions of Approval; and
WHEREAS, following the adoption of City Council Resolution No. 2013-041 on March
5, 2013 and in response to a request that the City Council rehear Conditional Use Permit No.
2008-05372A and Variance No. 2012-04917, the City Council denied the rehearing request at its
regular meeting held on April 16, 2013 but directed the Planning Commission to reconsider the
findings for the original parking variance granted for the Theater Entitlements and the Retail
Entitlements; and
WHEREAS, Section 18.60.200 of the Code authorizes the Planning Commission, on its
motion or at the direction of the City Council, to revoke or modify any discretionary land use
permit that has been granted pursuant to the Zoning Ordinance on the basis of evidence and
testimony submitted at the public hearing, if it finds, among other findings which are not relevant
to the matter at hand, that "the use or variance for which the approval was granted has not been
exercised and that, based upon additional information or due to changed circumstances, the facts
necessary to support one or more of the required findings for the original approval of such
entitlement . . . no longer exist". The Retail Entitlements have not been exercised as of the date
of this Resolution; and
5 PC2014-***
WHEREAS, the petitioner for the Retail Entitlements has requested the elimination of
any and all conditions of approval contained in the Theater Entitlements and the Retail
Entitlements that required or permitted the use of off-site parking spaces to satisfy the Code-
required off-street parking requirements for both the Theater Complex and Retail Uses and,
instead, to have the Planning Commission consider whether that certain parking study entitled
Parking Study Update for Cinema City, dated November 11, 2013, as prepared by Linscott, Law
and Greenspan, Engineers (herein referred to as the "Parking Study"), is sufficient, based upon
the operational characteristics of both the Theater Complex and the proposed Retail Uses, to
satisfy the findings required for the approval of a parking variance in accordance with Section
18.42.110 of the Code. Moreover, changes in some of the uses comprising the Retail
Entitlements since the approval by the City Council on March 5, 2013 of the Retail Entitlements
by the adoption of its Resolution No. 2013-041 have resulted in an increase in the Code-required
number of off-street parking spaces for the Retail Uses; and
WHEREAS, based upon (1) the elimination of any and all conditions of approval
contained in the Theater Entitlements and the Retail Entitlements that required or permitted the
use of off-site parking spaces to satisfy the Code-required off-street parking requirements for the
Theater Complex and the proposed Retail Uses, and (2) the increase in the Code-required
number of off-street parking spaces for the Retail Uses resulting from changes in some of the
retail uses (collectively referred to herein as the "Changed Circumstances"), the number of
parking spaces that would be available for the Theater Complex and the Retail Uses, upon build-
out of the Retail Uses, would be 456, while the number of off-street parking spaces required by
the Code for the Theater Complex and the Retail Uses is 662; 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 related to the direction given by the City Council to the
Planning Commission to reconsider the findings for the original parking variance granted for the
Theater Entitlements and the Retail Entitlements and to investigate and make findings and
recommendations in connection therewith; and
WHEREAS, following the close of the public hearing on December 16, 2013, a tie-vote
among the members of the Planning Commission on a motion to approve the staff's
recommendation resulted in the failure of the action, meaning that the decision of the Planning
Commission represented neither an approval nor a denial. Thereafter, failing on a tie-vote of its
members on a motion to refer the matter to the City Council pursuant to the authority granted by
the Planning Commission Procedures and Rules of Order, the matter was deemed automatically
continued to the next regular meeting of the Planning Commission on January 13, 2014 for
further consideration; and
WHEREAS, Section 18.60.200 of the Code authorizes the Planning Commission to (1)
modify the Theater Entitlements and/or Retail Entitlements provided that "any such
modification, including the imposition of any additional conditions, is reasonably necessary to
protect the public peace, health, safety or general welfare, or necessary to permit reasonable
operation under the permit as granted", and (2) "change conditions or add new conditions as
necessary to correct problems or violations relating to the [Theater Complex and/or Retail Uses]
6 PC2014-***
. . . [and/or to] modify conditions or add new conditions to preserve the integrity and character of
the zoning district, or to secure the general purposes of the [City's] zoning ordinance and the
General Plan". Accordingly, the Planning Commission considered a staff recommendation at its
regular meeting held on December 16, 2013 and, thereafter, at its regular meeting held on
January 13, 2014 to the effect that the modification of the conditions of approval for the Theater
Entitlements and the Retail Entitlements and the addition of new conditions of approval for the
Retail Uses satisfy the findings required under Section No. 18.42.040.010 of the Code to support
the original parking variance granted for the Theater Entitlements and the variance granted in
support of the Retail Entitlements; 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 the
public hearing held before the Planning Commission on December 16, 2013 and its consideration
of answers to questions posed to staff and discussion and deliberation of its members at its
regular meeting held on January 13, 2014, hereby finds and determines that the Retail Uses for
which Variance No. 2009-04795 was granted have not been exercised under Conditional Use
Permit No. 2008-05372A and that, based upon additional information and Changed
Circumstances, the facts necessary to support one or more of the required findings for the
original approval of Variance No. 2009-04795 no longer exist. Specifically, the Planning
Commission finds and determines as follows:
• The existing parking structure is very difficult to navigate under
existing conditions and will become even worse to navigate with the addition of
vehicular traffic resulting from the proposed Retail Uses.
• Vehicular traffic from the proposed Retail Uses will increase
traffic congestion within the proposed off-street parking areas of the Property.
• Vehicular traffic from the proposed Retail Uses will impede left-
hand egress from the Property into the east-bound traffic lanes of La Palma
Avenue heading toward Imperial Highway, thus impeding vehicular egress for
visitors, employees and tenants of the proposed Retail Uses and the Theater
Complex, as well as the adjacent Imperial Promenade Shopping Center.
• There is currently a parking problem on the Property, which will
continue to be a problem if the parking structure is not used to its fullest with the
existence of the proposed Retail Uses. It is questionable whether the parking
structure will be put to full use when parking spaces located within the adjacent
Imperial Promenade Shopping Center might appear to be a more convenient
choice due to its proximity to the Retail Uses and the Theater Complex. It does
not appear that the permittee possesses a shared parking arrangement with the
owner of the Imperial Promenade Shopping Center or the operator of the CitiBank
branch location.
7 PC2014-***
• Vehicular ingress/egress to the Imperial Promenade Shopping
Center will have much more traffic as a result of directing vehicles to park in the
parking structure to the rear of the Property. The exiting of vehicles from the
parking structure along with vehicles coming from the Imperial Promenade
Shopping Center may pose traffic problems coming onto the traffic side as
vehicles exit onto La Palma Avenue will also impede vehicular access to and
from the Imperial Promenade Shopping Center for its tenants, employees and
guests.
• The increased amount of traffic from the Property onto La Palma
will impede traffic upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of the
proposed Retail Uses, particularly eastbound traffic on La Palma Avenue.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The foregoing recitals are incorporated into this Resolution by this
reference and constitute a material part hereof.
Section 2. Variance No. 2009-04795 is hereby revoked .

the property owner a formal written notice of the Planning Commission’s action, which notice
shall contain a statement directing the permittee and property owner to immediately cease the
formerly authorized use and shall further inform them that failure to cease the use shall be
subject to enforcement and penalties as set forth in Section 1.01.389 of the Code.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION was adopted at the regular meeting of the Planning
Commission of the City of Anaheim held on January 27, 2014. Said Resolution is subject to the

ITEM NO. 2
PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
DATE: JANUARY 27, 2014
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2013-05712
LOCATION: 480 North Glassell Street (Xalos Lounge)
APPLICANT/PROPERTY OWNER: The applicant is Sonal Thakur with Core
Development Services and the property owner is T&X LLC.
REQUEST: The applicant is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to
allow a 50-foot high, ground-mounted, stealth telecommunications antenna
designed as a “monopalm.”
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the
attached resolution, determining that this request is categorically exempt from further
environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Class 3- New
Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) and approving Conditional Use
Permit No. 2013-05712.
BACKGROUND: This 1.3-acre property is developed with a nightclub building.
The property is located within the Northeast Area Specific Plan, Development Area
5 – Commercial Area (SP94-1, DA5) zone and the property is designated for General
Commercial land uses by the General Plan. Surrounding land uses include the SR-91
freeway to the north, Embassy Suites Hotel to the east, Santa Ana River to the south,
and an apartment complex to the west, across Glassell Street.
PROPOSAL: The applicant proposes to construct a 50-foot high, ground-mounted
stealth telecommunications antenna designed as a palm tree, or “monopalm.” The
antenna would be located in a lawn area north of the nightclub building. The
antenna would be set back 17 feet from the property line adjacent to Frontera Street
and 115 feet from the property line adjacent to Glassell Street, in compliance with
Code requirements. The green-colored antenna arrays would be contained within
the top portion of this freestanding structure and would be partially hidden within a
cluster of artificial palm fronds. As required by Code, three live palm trees would be
installed adjacent to the antenna to further screen the device and to create a more
natural setting.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2013-05712
January 27, 2014
Page 2 of 2
An associated equipment enclosure would be sited within an existing landscaped area on the west
side of the nightclub building. The 8-foot high enclosed structure would be constructed with block
walls and a textured stucco surface would be used to match the appearance of the nightclub
building.
As required by the Zoning Code, the applicant has submitted a site justification study which
indicates that this facility is needed to eliminate a coverage gap in this area of the City. According
to the applicant, this facility would ensure reliable levels of service and relieve network congestion
for an increasing customer base.
ANALYSIS: Stealth communications antennas are permitted within this zone subject to approval
of a conditional use permit. A conditional use permit is required to ensure that the antenna does not
negatively impact surrounding properties. A summary of the required findings necessary to support
the conditional use permit is included below. The complete set of findings is included in the
attached draft resolution.
The design of the facility would ensure that there are no significant aesthetic or equipment noise
impacts on adjacent properties. Stealth antennas, such as the proposed monopalm, are designed to
minimize aesthetic impacts to the surrounding community by visually blending into the surrounding
environment. The proposed location of the monopalm and palm trees which would be planted
adjacent to the antenna would serve to minimize the facility’s visual impact on the surrounding
area. At the time of planting, the additional palm trees would have a minimum brown trunk height
of 20 feet in compliance with Code. There are also five existing palm trees nearby which generally
match the height of the proposed antenna. The maximum height for structures in this zone is 60
feet, but the proposed antenna is only 50 feet tall.
CONCLUSION: The proposed stealth communication facility is consistent with the goals of the
Northeast Area Specific Plan zone and would help support the local business community by improving
telecommunication service in the area. In addition, the facility is designed in a manner that minimizes
visual impacts to the surrounding area. Staff recommends approval of the proposed use.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2013-05712
AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2013-00123)
(480 NORTH GLASSELL STREET)
WHEREAS, the Anaheim City Planning Commission (hereinafter referred to as the
"Planning Commission"), did receive a verified petition for Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-
05712 to permit a 50-foot high ground-mounted stealth telecommunications antenna, designed
as a “monopalm” (herein referred to as the "Proposed Project"), on that certain real property
located at 480 North Glassell Street in the City of Anaheim, generally depicted on the map
attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference (the "Property"), pursuant
to Section 18.60.190 of the Anaheim Municipal Code (the "Code") for the Property; and
WHEREAS, the Property is approximately 1.3-acres in size and is developed with a
nightclub building. The Property is located within the the Northeast Area Specific Plan,
Development Area 5 – Commercial Area (SP94-1, DA5) zone. The Anaheim General Plan
designates the Property for General Commercial land uses; and
WHEREAS, on January 27, 2014, 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 Chapter 18.60 of the Code, to hear and consider evidence for and against proposed
Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-05712, 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 Project is within that class of projects which consist of
the new construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures, or the
installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures, and that, therefore,
pursuant to Section 15303 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 Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-05712, does find and
determine the following facts:
1. The request to construct a 50-foot high stealth telecommunications facility
on an existing nightclub property is properly one for which a conditional use permit is
authorized under Section 18.120.100.050.0511 (Communications Stations and Antennas)
of the Code.
- 2 - PC2014-***
2. The stealth telecommunications facility 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 project has been designed to be compatible with surrounding
commercial and residential uses because it will be located within a landscaped yard area
and surrounded by a grove of palm trees so as to visually blend into the surrounding
environment.
3. The size and shape of the site for the stealth telecommunications facility 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 because the project has been designed to
comply with all Code requirements, including structural height, landscaping, and the
installation of new palm trees to screen the facility.
4. The traffic generated by the stealth telecommunications facility 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 site is
consistent with typical commercial businesses that would be permitted as a matter of right
within the SP94-1, DA5 zone.
5. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-05712 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.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that this Planning Commission does hereby
approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-05712 at the Property, 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 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 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, (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 Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-05712 are
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
of Permit Approval) and 18.60.200 (City-Initiated Revocation or Modification of Permits) of the
Code.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-05712
constitutes approval of the proposed request only to the extent that it complies with the Zoning
Code of the City of Anaheim 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.
- 3 - PC2014-***
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 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 findings hereinabove set forth.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION was adopted at the Planning Commission meeting of
January 27, 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 resolution of
the City Council in the event of an appeal.

PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
DATE: JANUARY 27, 2014
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.
2013-05696
LOCATION: 2110 South Harbor Boulevard (Roscoe’s House of Chicken and Waffles)
APPLICANT/PROPERTY OWNER: The applicant and agent is JJ Keno and the
owner is Herb Hudson.
REQUEST: The applicant is requesting to amend a previously-approved
conditional use permit by deleting a condition of approval requiring the removal of a
pole sign and installation of a monument sign in its place.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the
attached resolution, determining that the previously-certified Anaheim Resort
Specific Plan Master Environmental Impact Report (EIR 313) and Supplemental
Environmental Impact Report No. 340 provide appropriate environmental
documentation for this request, and approving an amendment to Conditional Use
Permit No. 2013-05696.
BACKGROUND: The property is located within the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan
zone and is developed with a restaurant that is undergoing renovation and expansion.
The site is designated for Commercial Recreation land uses by the General Plan.
Surrounding land uses include a service station and convenience market to the north,
a fast food restaurant and hotel to the west across Harbor Boulevard, a car rental
agency to the south, and apartments to the east across Acama Street.
Prior Entitlement: On September 23, 2013, the Planning Commission approved
Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-05696, Variance No. 2012-04896 and Final Site
Plan No. 2012-00004 to permit the remodel and expansion of the restaurant building
with fewer parking spaces and a smaller front setback than required by Code. A
condition of approval included in the Resolution approving the conditional use
permit requires the removal of an existing 25-foot high, legal non-conforming pole
sign and the construction of a monument sign in its place.
AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2013-05696
January 27, 2014
Page 2 of 2
PROPOSAL: The applicant is proposing to delete the condition of approval requiring the
removal of the existing pole sign due to the inability to install a monument sign on this property
while meeting sight distance requirements.
ANALYSIS: During the Planning Commission hearing on the restaurant expansion, the
applicant was asked, and voluntarily agreed, to remove the property’s existing pole sign and to
install a monument sign in its place. The request was made in an effort to bring the property into
further conformity with the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan. During the ensuing discussion, there
was some question as to whether a monument sign could be installed at this location without
interfering with the line-of-sight requirements for vehicles exiting the property onto Harbor
Boulevard. The purpose of sight distance requirements is to allow drivers exiting a site to
clearly see on-coming traffic and pedestrians at a safe distance. Attachment 4 of this report
includes an illustration of the required line-of-sight triangle.
Staff has worked closely with the applicant to try and find a suitable location for the sign;
however, due to the site’s width, existing driveway locations and planned improvements within
the front setback area, a monument sign cannot be installed at this location without creating a
potentially unsafe condition. Therefore, staff recommends that Condition No. 14 of Resolution
No. PC2013-068 be deleted. If this request is approved, the applicant intends to “reface” and re-
use the property’s existing pole sign, which is allowed by the Zoning Code.
CONCLUSION: The request to delete a condition of approval requiring the removal of the
existing pole sign is appropriate because a monument sign cannot be installed at this location
while meeting sight distance requirements. Staff recommends approval of the applicant’s
request.

A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION
APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2013-05696
AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2012-00058)
(2110 SOUTH HARBOR BOULEVARD)
WHEREAS, on September 23, 2013, and subject to certain conditions of
approval, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim by its Resolution No. PC2013-068,
did approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-05696 to expand an existing restaurant with a
variance from street setback and parking requirements (herein referred to as the "Original CUP")
on that certain real property located at 2110 South Harbor Boulevard 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, Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2013-068 contained the
following condition of approval:
“14. The existing pole sign shall be removed. Any new monument sign
installed must in a location that conforms to the Anaheim Resort
Specific Plan and all City Standard Details and does not create an
unsafe situation for pedestrians or vehicles. The monument sign
location must also be outside of any easements.”
WHEREAS, the Property, consisting of approximately 0.92-acre, is developed
with a vacant restaurant building.
WHEREAS, the Property is located in the SP92-2 Anaheim Resort Specific Plan
Zone. The Anaheim General Plan designates the Property for Commercial Recreation 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. 2013-
0569B") to delete the above-noted condition of approval requiring the removal of an existing
pole sign and the installation of a monument sign (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
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic
Center in the City of Anaheim on January 27, 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
- 2 - PC2014-***
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 previously-certified Anaheim Resort Specific Plan
Master Environmental Impact Report No. 313 and Final Supplemental Environmental Impact
Report No. 2008-00340 will serve as the appropriate environmental documentation in connection
with the Proposed Project 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 EIR 313 have occurred; 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 to the Original CUP to delete the condition of approval
requiring the removal of an existing pole sign and the installation of a monument sign is properly
one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by Anaheim Municipal Code Section
18.08.030 (Uses) of the Zoning Code.
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 no physical change will occur on the property by deleting the condition of
approval requiring removal of an existing pole sign and the installation of a monument sign.
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
because the site can accommodate the parking, traffic flows, and circulation without creating
detrimental effects on adjacent properties.
4. The traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue burden upon the
streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area because the vehicular
circulation is designed to minimize impacts on the surrounding businesses and because the
intensity of the use and number of vehicles entering and exiting the Property will not increase as
a result of this proposal.
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 because the project has
been designed to minimize impacts on the surrounding businesses.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that this Planning Commission does
hereby approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-05696A, thereby amending the Original CUP.
- 3 - PC2014-***
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.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION was adopted at the Planning Commission
meeting of January 27, 2014. 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.

DATE: JANUARY 27, 2014
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2013-05706
LOCATION: 2951 West Ball Road (The Vault Hookah Lounge)
APPLICANT/PROPERTY OWNER: The applicant is Mohammad Abdo and the
property owner is Ben’s Equity, LLC.
REQUEST: The applicant is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to
allow a smoking lounge in a commercial tenant space located less than 200 feet from
a residential zone and less than 1,000 feet from a school.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt
the attached resolution, determining that this request is categorically exempt from
further environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Class
1, Existing Facilities) and approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-05706.
BACKGROUND: The .90-acre project site is developed with a two-story, 14,500
square foot commercial building in the General Commercial (C-G) zone. The
property is one of two parcels which together comprise an integrated shopping center
sharing parking and access rights. The site is designated for General Commercial
land uses by the General Plan. Surrounding land uses include a motel to the west,
single-family residences to the east, a church and commercial center to the south
across Ball Road and apartments to the north.
PROPOSAL: The applicant is proposing an indoor/outdoor smoking lounge on the
first floor of the existing two-story building. The proposed smoking lounge would
include 4,560 square feet of indoor space and a 715 square foot outdoor smoking
patio. The applicant also proposes to operate an adjacent 1,025 square foot restaurant
that would be physically separated from the smoking lounge areas. The proposed
hours of operation for the smoking lounge are 5:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. daily. The
smoking lounge would include a front reception area, an office and storage room, a
hookah pipe preparation area and restrooms.

ANALYSIS: Smoking lounges are allowed in this zone subject to the approval of a conditional use
permit, if located within 200 feet of a residential zone or 1,000 feet of a school, to ensure
compatibility with the surrounding uses. When located beyond these specified distances, smoking
lounges may be permitted through an administrative permit approved by staff. The nearest
residentially-zoned property is located approximately 40 feet north of the northern exterior wall of
the proposed smoking lounge. A continuation high school exists within the easternmost unit of the
commercial center to the east, approximately 160 feet away from the outdoor portion of the
smoking lounge; therefore, a conditional use permit is required to allow this business.
The Zoning Code requires that specific findings be made prior to approval of a conditional use
permit. The complete findings are included in the attached draft resolution. A summary of the
project’s compliance with the required findings is provided below.
Smoking lounges in close proximity to a residential zone boundary or school may be permitted by
conditional use permit if it can be demonstrated that there are structures or other factors which
provide a physical buffer from potential noise, odors or other impacts from the smoking lounge.
The proposed smoking lounge would be located in a two-story building that anchors a multi-tenant
commercial center. The rear of the center has a parking area and drive-aisle allowing traffic
circulation around the entire center, Both the enclosed and exterior portions of this proposed
smoking lounge are buffered from the residential properties to the north by existing building walls.
There are no public entrances on the north building wall thereby preventing any noise or odors from
the proposed business from impacting the residences to the north. The door on the northeast side of
the building is for emergency or employee use only. In addition, the apartment complex to the
north has no south-facing windows. In order to prevent patrons from congregating in the rear
parking lot area during evening hours, the property owner proposes to install vehicular access gates
to secure the rear parking area after 9:00 p.m. Conditions of approval have been included in the
attached draft resolution requiring that the north-facing door remain closed at all times; that the
gates securing the rear parking area be locked by 9 p.m. daily and that the smoking lounge only
operate between the hours of 5:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. The continuation high school, located
approximately 160 feet from the outdoor smoking lounge at easterly end of the commercial center,
operates between the hours of 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Monday through Friday when the smoking
lounge is closed; therefore, impacts to the school are not anticipated.
The other units within the commercial center are occupied by a variety of restaurant, retail and
service uses. The site provides a total of 167 parking spaces, 49 of which are located in the rear
parking lot area, in compliance with the Zoning Code. Once the rear parking lot is secured, 118
parking spaces would remain available after 9:00 p.m. These spaces are adequate to provide the
Code-required number of parking spaces for the smoking lounge and the other businesses that
would be open during late evening hours.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2013-05706
January 27, 2014
Page 3 of 3
CONCLUSION: Staff believes that the proposed smoking lounge would be compatible with the other
uses in the commercial center and with the surrounding neighborhood due to its physical design and
location. The recommended conditions of approval would further serve to ensure that the business does
not negatively impact the surrounding area. Staff recommends approval of this conditional use permit.

OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2013-05706
AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2013-00114)
(2951 WEST BALL ROAD)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (herein referred to as
the “Planning Commission”) did receive a verified petition to approve Conditional Use Permit
No. 2013-05706 to permit an indoor and outdoor smoking lounge within an existing commercial
tenant space located less than 200 feet from a residential zone and less than 1,000 feet of a
school for that certain real property located at 2951 West Ball Road 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 .90 acres, is developed with a
14,500 square foot commercial retail building. The Property is located in and subject to the
regulations and development standards of the General Commercial (C-G) Zone. The Anaheim
General Plan designates the Property for General Commercial land uses; and
WHEREAS, this Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center
in the City of Anaheim on January 27, 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
Code to hear and consider evidence for and against proposed Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-
05706 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 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 a proposed smoking lounge, has determined
that Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-05706 should be approved for the following reasons, does
find and determine the following facts:
1. The proposed request to permit an indoor and outdoor smoking lounge within an
existing commercial retail building in the Commercial General (C-G) zone, under the conditions
imposed, is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by Section
18.08.030.010 of the Code; and
- 2 - PC2014-***
2. The proposed conditional use permit to allow an indoor and outdoor smoking
lounge within an existing commercial retail building, under the conditions imposed, 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 outdoor smoking lounge is obstructed from the residential
property to the north by the two-story building and the commercaial center and the hours of
operation will be limited through conditions of approval in order to reduce potential impacts on
adjacent residential properties; and
3. The size and shape of the site for the use is adequate to allow the full development
of the proposed project in a manner not detrimental to either the particular area nor to the health,
safety and general welfare of the public because the Property is currently improved with a
commercial retail building and no expansion of the building is proposed; and
4. The traffic generated by the proposed project 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 there is adequate parking on-site to accommodate the use; and
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 and will provide a
land use that is compatible with the surrounding area.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does hereby
approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-05706, contingent upon and 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 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 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 any amendment, modification or revocation 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 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.
- 3 - PC2014-***
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 27, 2014. 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.
