A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION
APPROVING TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 2014 -100 AND MAKING
CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2014- 00027)
(441 SOUTH PERALTA HILLS DRIVE)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (hereinafter referred to
as the "Planning Commission ") did receive a verified Petition for Tentative Parcel Map No. 2014-
100 to subdivide one parcel into two parcels (herein referred to as the "Parcel Map ") for certain
real property located at 441 South Peralta Hills Drive 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 vacant and consists of approximately 2.2 acres.
The Anaheim General Plan designates the Property for Estate Density Residential land uses. The
Property is located within the "RH -1" Single- Family Hillside Residential Zone. The Property is
also located within the Scenic Corridor (SC) Overlay Zone, meaning that the regulations
contained in Section 18.18.060 (Single - Family Residential Zones — Standards) of Chapter 18.18
(Scenic Corridor (SC) Overlay Zone) of the Anaheim Municipal Code (the "Code ") shall apply
to the Property in addition to, and where inconsistent shall supersede, any site development
standards contained in Chapter 18.04 (Single Family Residential Zones) for the "RH -1" Single -
Family Hillside Residential Zone; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center
in the City of Anaheim on August 25, 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
(Procedures) of the Code, to hear and consider evidence for and against the proposed Parcel
Map, 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 Parcel Map is within that class of projects
which consists of the division of property meeting the conditions described in Section 15315 of
the California Code of Regulations (the "CEQA Guidelines "); that is, (a) consists of the division
of property in an urban area zoned for residential, commercial or industrial use into four or fewer
parcels when the division is in conformance with the General Plan and zoning, (b) no variances
are required, (c) all services and access to the proposed parcels to local standards are available,
(d) the existing parcel was not involved in the division of a larger parcel within the previous two
years, and (d) the existing parcel does not have an average slope greater than 20 percent at the
time of this determination. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 15315 of the CEQA Guidelines, the
proposed Parcel Map will not cause a significant effect on the environment and is, therefore,
categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA; and
- 1 - PC2014 -071
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 for Tentative Parcel Map No. 2014 -100, does find and
determine the following facts:
1. The proposed division, including its design and improvements, is consistent with
the Estate Density Residential land use designation in the Anaheim General Plan and, the zoning
and development standards of the "RH -1 "Single - Family Hillside Residential Zone and the
Scenic Corridor Overlay Zone; and
2. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of the Parcel Map in
conformance with the development standards of the "RH -1 "(Single- Family Hillside Residential
Zone and the Scenic Corridor Overlay Zone; and
3. The design of the division is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage
or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat, as no sensitive
environmental habitat has been identified in the vicinity; and
4. The design of the division or the type of improvements is not likely to cause
serious public health problems since it the property will be developed with two single - family
residential buildings in conformance with the development standards of the "RH- 1 "Single-
Family Hillside Residential Zone and the Scenic Corridor Overlay Zone and the Property is
currently surrounded by single - family residential homes; and
5. The design of the division or the type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the
proposed division.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does hereby
approve Tentative Parcel Map No. 2014 -100, 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.

with Section 18.60.170 of the Code. Timing for compliance with conditions of approval may be
