duly given as required by law and in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 18.60 of the

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 "C -G" General Commercial Zone to
the "RM -3" Multiple - Family Residential Zone is consistent with the Property's existing Low -
Medium Density Residential land use designation in the General Plan.
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 surrounding
properties.
3. The proposed reclassification of the Property does properly relate to the zone
and its permitted uses locally established within and 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. 2014 -00263 to authorize an
amendment to the Zoning Map of the Anaheim Municipal Code to rezone and reclassify the
Property into the "RM -3" Multiple- Family Residential Zone.
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.
