A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM PLANNING COMMISSION
APPROVING RECLASSIFICATION NO. 2013 -00254 AND MAKING
CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.
(DEV2013- 00056)
(1619 SOUTH EUCLID STREET)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (the 'Planning
Commission ") did receive a verified petition for reclassification, designated as Reclassification
No. 2013 - 00254, for that certain real property located at 1619 South Euclid Street 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 is currently developed with a plant nursery and single -
family residence and is located in the "T" (Transition) Zone. The Anaheim General Plan
designates this Property for Low - Medium Density Residential and Open Space land uses; and
WHEREAS, the applicant requests to rezone or reclassify the Property from the
"T" (Transition) Zone to the "RS -4" (Single- Family Residential) Zone; and
WHEREAS, Reclassification No. 2013 -00254 is proposed in conjunction with
Tentative Tract Map No. 17700 and Conditional Use Permit No. 2013 -05720 to establish a 8 -lot
residential subdivision with two (2) lettered lots to allow for the future development of 8 single -
family homes on the Property (collectively referred to herein as the 'Proposed Project "); and
WHEREAS, on June 30, 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 law and in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 18.60
(Procedures) of the Anaheim Municipal Code (the "Code "), to hear and consider evidence for
and against proposed Reclassification No. 2013 - 00254, Tentative Tract Map No. 17700 and
Conditional Use Permit No. 2013 -05720 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 in -fill development meeting the conditions described in Section 15332 of Title 14 of
the California Code of Regulations ( "CEQA Guidelines "). Specifically, the Proposed Project (a)
is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation and all applicable General Plan
policies, as well as with the applicable zoning designation and regulations, (b) is no more than
five acres in size substantially surrounded by urban uses, (c) has no value as a habitat for
endangered, rare or threatened species, (d) would not result in significant effects relating to
traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality, and (e) the Property can be adequately served by all
required utilities and public services. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 15332 of the CEQA
Guidelines, the Proposed Project will not cause a significant effect on the environment and is,
therefore, categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA; and
- I - PC2014 -047
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, does find and determine the following facts:
1. Reclassification of the Property from the "T" (Transition) Zone to the "RS -4"
(Single - Family Residential) Zone is consistent with the Property's existing Low - Medium
Density Residential land use designation in the General Plan. The portion of the property
designated for Open Space will be used solely for vehicular access.
2. The proposed reclassification of the Property is necessary and /or desirable
for the orderly and proper development of the community and is compatible with the adjacent
properties to the north which are designated for Low - Medium Density Residential land uses and
are developed with single family homes.
3. The proposed reclassification of the Property does properly relate to the zone
and its permitted uses locally established in close proximity to the Property and to the zones and
their permitted uses generally established throughout the community.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission determines that the evidence in the record
constitutes substantial evidence to support the actions taken and the findings made in this
Resolution, that the facts stated in this Resolution are supported by substantial evidence in the
record, including testimony received at the public hearing, the staff presentations, the staff report
and all materials in the project files. There is no substantial evidence, nor are there other facts,
that detract from the findings made in this Resolution. The Planning Commission expressly
declares that it considered all evidence presented and reached these findings after due
consideration of all evidence presented to it.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that pursuant to the above findings,
this Planning Commission does hereby approve Reclassification No. 2013 -00254 to authorize an
amendment to the Zoning Map of the Anaheim Municipal Code to rezone and reclassify the
Property into the "RS -4" (Single - Family Residential) Zone and recommends that the City
Council adopt an ordinance reclassifying the Property in accordance with Reclassification No.
2013 - 00254.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Resolution shall not constitute a
rezoning of, or a commitment by the City to rezone, the Property; any such rezoning shall require
an ordinance of the City Council, which shall be a legislative act, which may be approved or
denied by the City Council at its sole discretion.
