OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2014 -05768 AND
MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2014- 00106)
(412 WEST CARL KARCHER WAY AND 1180 NORTH LA PALMA PARKWAY)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (the "Planning
Commission ") did receive a verified petition to approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2014 -05768
to permit a charter school within an existing office building and two modular classroom buildings
(referred to herein as the "Proposed Project ") for that certain real property located at 412 West
Carl Karcher Way and 1180 North La Palma Park Way 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 approximately 0.64 acres in size and is currently developed
with a 10,590 square foot, one story commercial building. The Anaheim General Plan
designates the Property for Parks land uses. The Property is located in the "RM -4" Multiple
Family Residential Zone. As such, the Property is subject to the zoning and development
standards described in Chapter 18.06 (Multiple Family Residential Zones) of the Anaheim
Municipal Code (the "Code ") and is a permitted use within the "RM -4" Multiple Family
Residential Zone subject to approval of a conditional use permit; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources
Code Section 21000 et seq.; herein referred to as "CEQA ") and the State of California
Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (commencing with
Section 15000 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations; herein referred to as the "State
CEQA Guidelines "), the City is the "lead agency" for the preparation and consideration of
environmental documents for the Proposed Project; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds and determines that the Proposed Project is
within that class of projects (i.e., Class 1 — Existing Facilities) 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 the State 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
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in
the City of Anaheim on January 26, 2015 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 of the
Anaheim Municipal Code, to hear and consider evidence and testimony for and against the
Proposed Project and to investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection
therewith; and
- 1 - PC2015 -009
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 with respect to Conditional Use Permit
No. 2014 - 05768:
1. The request to permit the Proposed Project is an allowable use within the RM -4
Multiple Family Residential Zone under Subsection .010 of Section 18.06.030 of the Code
provided that a conditional use permit is approved; and
2. The Proposed Project would not adversely affect the adjoining land uses, or the
growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located. The Proposed Project
will operate in conjunction with the adjacent GOALS facility to the east and will not have an
adverse impact to the surrounding commercial uses; and
3. The size and shape of the site is adequate to allow the full development of the
Proposed Project, in a manner not detrimental to either the particular area or health and safety
because the site can accommodate the parking, traffic, trash collection, and circulation without
creating detrimental effects on adjacent properties; and
4. The traffic generated by the Proposed Project will not impose an undue burden
upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area because the
Proposed Project has been designed with three separate drop -off areas so as to minimize traffic
congestion on the surrounding streets; and
5. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 2014 -05768 under the conditions
imposed will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim
and will provide a land use that is compatible with the surrounding area, subject to compliance
with the conditions contained herein.
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. 2014 -05768 is hereby approved, contingent
upon and subject to the conditions of approval described in Exhibit B attached hereto, are hereby
found to be a necessary prerequisite to the proposed use of the Property under Conditional Use
Permit No. 2014 -05768 in order to preserve the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens
of the City of Anaheim. Extensions for further time to complete conditions of approval may be
granted in accordance with Section 18.60.170 of the - Code. Timing for compliance with
conditions of approval may be amended by the Planning Director upon a showing of good cause
provided (i) equivalent timing is established that satisfies the original intent and purpose of the
condition, (ii) the modification complies with the Code, and (iii) the applicant has demonstrated
significant progress toward establishment of the use or approved development.
-2- PC2015 -009
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that any amendment, modification or revocation of this
permit may be processed in accordance with Chapters 18.60.190 (Amendment to Permit
Approval) and 18.60.200 (City- Initiated Revocation or Modification of Permits) of the 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 this application 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.
