(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, the Property is located in the Commercial Area (Development Area 5) of the Northeast Area Specific Plan Area and is subject to the zoning and development standards of Chapter 18.120 (Northeast Area Specific Plan No. 94 -1 (SP 94 -1) Zoning and Development Standards) of the Code; 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 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 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 action 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. 2 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. 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 3 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, which operated to amend Conditional Use Permit No. 2008- 05372 and permitted 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 (herein referred to as the "Retail Uses "). 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; provided, however, that the Planning Commission denied that portion of Variance No. 2012 -04917 that would have 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 Retail Uses 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, 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 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. Accordingly, the conditions of approval which were imposed upon the Retail Entitlements 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 of 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, thereafter, the petitioner for the Retail Entitlements 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 proposed Retail Uses and, instead, to have the Planning Commission consider whether that certain parking study 4 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 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 proposed 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 proposed 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 proposed Retail Uses, upon build -out of the proposed Retail Uses, would be 456, while the number of off - street parking spaces required by the Code for the Theater Complex and the proposed Retail Uses is 662; and WHEREAS, Section 18.60.200 of the Code authorizes the Planning Commission, 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 a public hearing, if it finds, among other findings, 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 the number of off - street parking spaces proposed to serve the proposed Retail Uses and the Theater Complex has resulted in Changed Circumstances; and WHEREAS, Section 18.60.200 of the Code also 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 proposed Retail Uses] ... [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 "; and WHEREAS, pursuant to the authority conferred upon it by Section 18.60.200 of the Code, the Planning Commission held a public hearing at the Civic Center in the City of Anaheim on December 16, 2013, 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 related to the direction given by the City Council to reconsider the findings for the original parking variance (i.e., Variance No. 2009 - 04795) granted for the Retail Entitlements and to investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith. Staff recommended to the Planning Commission at that hearing that, notwithstanding the existence of 5 Changed Circumstances since the Retail Entitlements had been approved by the City Council by its adoption of Resolution No. 2013 -041 on March 5, 2013, 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 proposed 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, i.e., Variance No. 2009 - 04795; and WHEREAS, following the close of the public hearing of the Planning Commission on December 16, 2013, a motion to approve the staffs recommendation resulted in a 3 -3 tie -vote, 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, 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, the Planning Commission found and determined, by a vote of 4 -3, that it could not support staffs recommendation. As a result and based upon additional information and Changed Circumstances, a majority of the members of the Planning Commission concluded that the facts necessary to support one or more of the required findings for the original approval of Variance No. 2009 -04795 no longer exist; and WHEREAS, upon the presentment to the Planning Commission at its regular meeting on January 27, 2014 of a resolution containing the findings and determination made by the Planning Commission at its regular meeting on January 13, 2014, the members of the Planning Commission then present tied, by a vote of 3 -3, on a resolution revoking Variance No. 2009- 04795. Accordingly, and pursuant to the "Planning Commission Procedures and Rules of Order ", the matter was "deemed automatically referred to the City Council without action or recommendation [of the Planning Commission] for such further proceedings as may be required by law "; and WHEREAS, the City Council did set the 18 day of February, 2014, as the time, and the City Council Chamber in the Civic Center, as the place, for a public hearing to hear and consider evidence related to reconsideration of the findings for the original parking variance (i.e., Variance No. 2009 - 04795) granted for the Retail Entitlements and to investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith. Notice of said public hearing has been duly given as required by law and in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 18.60 of the Code; and WHEREAS, under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.; herein referred to as "CEQA ") and Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (herein referred to as the "State CEQA Guidelines "), the City Council finds and determines that the proposed Retail Uses, including the modifications or changes to the Theater Entitlements and the proposed Retail Entitlements, is within that class of projects which consist 6 of the construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures. Section 15303 of the State CEQA Guidelines provides examples of projects that qualify for an exemption from the provisions of CEQA. The one example that is applicable to the proposed project is for "up to four ... commercial buildings [such as a restaurant or similar structure] not exceeding 10,000 square feet in floor area on sites zoned for such use if not involving the use of significant amounts of hazardous substances where all necessary public services and facilities are available and the surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive." The proposed project fits within that example and, therefore, pursuant to Section 15303 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, will not cause a significant effect on the environment and is, therefore, categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA; and WHEREAS, based upon the elimination of any and all conditions of approval contained in the Theater Entitlements (i.e., the three (3) conditions of approval set forth in the fifth recital of this Resolution, above) and those contained in 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 proposed Retail Uses and pursuant to the authority conferred upon it by Section 18.60.200 of the Code, the City Council, 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, does find and determine the following: SECTION NO. 18.42.040.010 Minimum number of off - street parking spaces: (662 spaces required; 456 spaces proposed) 1. Based upon the Parking Study, the contents of that certain letter, dated March 31, 2011 from Pirzadeh & Associates, Inc. to Ms. Brittany DeBeikes relating to a Parking Utilization Study for Imperial Promenade (herein referred to as the "Pirzadeh Study "), the revised parking plan for the Property, the observations of parking demand made by Planning Division staff, and under the conditions to be modified and those new conditions to be imposed, the proposed Retail Uses, together with the Theater Complex, will not cause fewer off - street parking spaces to be provided than the number of such spaces necessary to accommodate all vehicles attributable to the Theater Complex and proposed Retail Uses under the normal and reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation thereof; and 2. The site design and revised parking plan, under the conditions to be modified and those new conditions to be imposed, will not increase the demand and competition for parking spaces upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of the Property because all parking will be contained on the Property. No parking is permitted on the public streets in the immediate vicinity of the Property; and 3. The site design and revised parking plan, under the conditions to be modified and those new conditions to be imposed, will not increase the demand and competition for parking spaces upon adjacent private property in the immediate vicinity of the Theater Complex and proposed Retail Uses because all parking will be contained on the Property. This finding is based upon the findings and conclusions contained in the Parking Study, the Pirzadeh Study, the 7 observations of parking demand made by Planning Division staff, and the conditions to be modified and those new conditions to be imposed, all of which collectively demonstrate that there are enough parking spaces available on the Property for the Theater Complex and the proposed Retail Uses. With enough spaces on the Property, the demand and competition for parking spaces will not be increased upon adjacent private property in the immediate vicinity of the Theater Complex and proposed Retail Uses; and 4. The site design and revised parking plan for the proposed Retail Uses will allow appropriate on -site circulation for both the proposed Retail Uses and the Theater Complex. Conditions of approval have been included to improve circulation on the Property. These conditions include a requirement for on -site way finding and directional signs to direct traffic through the Property, the closure of the southern-most entrance to the parking area south of the theater, as accessed via the main entry driveway from La Palma Avenue, and striping of the main southbound exit driveway at La Palma Avenue to clearly delineate the left-turn lane, and the associated left-turn and through -right arrows. Accordingly, the revised parking plan, under the conditions to be modified and those new conditions to be imposed, will not increase traffic congestion within the off - street parking areas or lots provided for the Theater Complex and proposed Retail Uses. The design for the proposed Retail Uses will allow adequate on -site circulation for both the proposed Retail Uses and the Theater Complex; and 5. The driveway exiting at the signal onto La Palma Avenue will be striped to direct vehicles into right -turn and left -turn lanes. The closure of the southern-most entrance to the parking area south of the theater, as accessed via the main entry driveway, will allow for greater staging of entering and exiting vehicles. The western-most driveway on the Property will allow for ingress and egress of vehicles for the commercial and restaurant portion of the parking lot. With these on -site traffic circulation improvements, the revised parking plan and the Project, under the conditions to be modified and those new conditions to be imposed, will not impede vehicular ingress to or egress from adjacent properties upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of the Theater Complex and proposed Retail Uses. The parking plan is designed to allow adequate on -site circulation for the proposed Retail Uses and Theater Complex. WHEREAS, pursuant to the authority conferred upon it by Section 18.60.200 of the Code, the Planning Commission hereby finds and determines that the modification of the conditions of approval for the Theater Entitlements and the addition of new conditions of approval for the proposed Retail Uses is reasonably necessary to protect the public peace, health, safety or general welfare, or necessary to permit reasonable operation of the Theater Complex and the proposed Retail Uses under the Theater Entitlements and the Retail Entitlements, as granted, or necessary to correct problems or violations relating to the Theater Complex and /or proposed Retail Uses and 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; and WHEREAS, subject to the modifications or changes to the Theater Entitlements and the Retail Entitlements as provided in this Resolution, the City Council desires to confirm and ratify 8 all of the terms, provisions and conditions of the Theater Entitlements and the Retail Entitlements and all of the findings previously made by both the Planning Commission and the City Council with respect to the Theater Entitlements and the Retail Entitlements.
