WHEREAS, on September 17, 2007, the Planning Commission adopted
Resolution No. PC2007 -109 to amend, in their entirety, the conditions of approval of Resolution
No. PC2000 -82 to amend exhibits to permit the interior expansion of an existing church, adding

WHEREAS, the Original CUP, together with the aforementioned amendments

- 1 - PC2014 -050
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 in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 18.60 (Procedures) of the Code, to hear
and consider evidence for and against proposed Conditional Use Permit No. 3693A, 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 pertaining to the request for Conditional Use Permit No. 3693A, does find
and determine the following facts:
1. The request to permit a private school in an existing church is properly one for
which a conditional use permit is authorized under subsection .040.0402 of Section 18.08.030 of
the Code.
2. The private school and associated interior improvements in an existing church,
under the conditions imposed, 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 private school will
be compatible with the surrounding residential uses in the area. Further, the existing use has
proven to be compatible with surrounding land uses within the area.
3. The size and shape of the Property is adequate to allow the full operation of the
existing church and school because no exterior expansion of the building is proposed. Church
services and related activities currently occur on the Property in a manner not detrimental to the
particular area or to the health, safety and general welfare. Further, there is adequate parking to
support the church and school, provided that they operate at different hours in accordance with a
plan of operation submitted by the applicant with its application to amend the CUP.
4. The traffic generated by the use is negligible and would not impose an undue
burden upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area. No
significant intensification of church activity is associated with the addition of the private school.
The additional classrooms for the school are for those persons already attending church services
and related activities.
5. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 3693A under the conditions imposed
will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim and will
provide an integrated land use that is compatible with the surrounding area.
-2- PC2014 -050
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 by the Planning Commission, for the
reasons hereinabove stated, that Conditional Use Permit No. 3693A is hereby approved, thereby
amending the CUP, which approval is 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 subject Property in order
to preserve the safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Anaheim.
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, shall control and govern the
Property.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this permit is approved without limitations
on the duration of the use. Amendments, modifications and revocations of this permit may be
processed in accordance with Chapters 18.60.190 (Amendment to Permit Approval) and

Code.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does hereby find
and determine that adoption of this Resolution is expressly predicated upon applicant's
compliance with each and all of the conditions hereinabove set forth. Should any such condition,
or any part thereof, be declared invalid or unenforceable by the final judgment of any court of
competent jurisdiction, then this Resolution, and any approvals herein contained, shall be
deemed null and void.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that approval of Conditional Use Permit No.
3693A 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.
