PLANNING DEPARTMENT
DATE:MAY 4, 2015
SUBJECT:CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2014-05744
LOCATION:
2930 West Ball Road (Anaheim Community Church)
APPLICANT/PROPERTY OWNER:
The agent is Ross Miletichrepresenting
the applicant, Verizon Wireless.The property owner is Anaheim Community
Church.
REQUEST:
The applicant is requesting approvalof a conditional use permit to allow
a 50-foot high,wireless communicationsantennadesigned as a pinetree.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the
attached resolution,determining that this request is categorically exempt from further
environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Class 11,
Accessory Structures)and approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2014-05744.
BACKGROUND:
This3.0-acre siteis located in the T(Transition)zone and is
currently developed withachurch.The General Plan designates the sitefor
Neighborhood Center Commercial land uses.Surrounding land usesincludea
commercialretailcenterto the northacross Ball Road,apartments and single-family
residences to the east,residential uses to the southin the City of Stanton,and retail uses
and a mobile home park to the west.
PROPOSAL:
The applicant is proposing toconstruct a 50-foot high,wireless
communications antenna designed to look like apinetree.The antenna would be
located approximately 100 feet from Ball Road in a landscaped planter adjacent to the
church sanctuary.As required by the Zoning Code, threelive pinetrees, a minimum
of 20 feet in height,would be plantednext to the antenna.The antenna and associated
equipment would be located within an eight-foot block wall enclosure. The block wall
would include a decorative cap,would bepainted to match the exterior of the church
and would have a hedge planted at the base.The unmannedfacility would operate 24
hours a day; seven days a week. Routine maintenance would occur every four to six
weeks.

FINDINGSAND ANALYSIS:
Before the Planning Commission may approvea conditional
use permit, it must make a finding of fact that the evidence presented shows thatall of the
following conditions exist:
1)That the proposed use is properly one for which a conditional use permit is
authorized by this code;
2)That the proposed use will not adversely affect the adjoining land uses, or
the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be
located;
3)That the size and shape of the site proposed for the use is adequate to allow
the full development of the proposed use, in a manner not detrimental to
either the particular area or health and safety;
4) That the traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue
burden upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the
traffic in the area; and
5)That the granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions
imposed, if any, will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the
citizens of the City of Anaheim.
Telecommunications Facilities:Before the Planning Commission may approvea conditional use
permit for a telecommunications facility that exceeds the height of the underlying zone, it must
make the additionalfindingsof fact that the evidence presented shows that all of the following
conditions exist:
1)Alternativesshall be provided to staff, including but not limited to
additional and/or different locations and designs, and has determined that
the application as approved would have a lesser impact on the aesthetics
and welfare of the surrounding community as compared to other
alternatives;
2)Based on the evidence presented, the additional height above the maximum
building height for the applicable zone is reasonably necessary for
collocation of facilities or for the efficient operation of the proposed
facility; and
3)Any negative impacts of the proposed facility are properly mitigated.
The Zoning Code requires a conditional use permit for a wireless telecommunications facility in
this zone. Antennasthat are higher than the maximum height of the underlying mayalsobe
approved by conditional use.The purpose of the conditional use permit is to ensure compatibility
with surrounding usesand to ensure the project site is adequate to accommodate the use in a safe
manner.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMITNO. 2014-05744
May 4, 2015
Page 3of 3
The Zoning Code allows structures up to 30 feet in height in this zone. The antenna would be 50
feet high. Thewireless facilitywould be significantly setback from Ball Road within an existing
landscape planter. The proposed pine tree design would blend in with two existing mature pine trees
located on the property. The facilitywould be located approximately 160feet from the nearest
residential zone boundary to the eastand would be separated from the residential uses by the
sanctuary building. Since theantenna would not be located adjacent toresidential usesand is
buffered by an intervening building, staff is not recommending a condition of approval that would
limit maintenance hours.
The applicant has submitted a site justification study which indicates that the height proposed for
this facility is necessary to eliminate coverage gaps and enhance voice and data services in this area
of the City. The benefits of thisimprovedservice would be better voice and reception quality,
higher security and privacy for users and enhanced communications for emergency services.As
required by the Zoning Code, the study also provides alternative locations and designs.Six
properties within the search ring were considered. Theapplicant’s engineer determined the
alternative locations and designs would not achieve thenecessarycoverage objectives,the sites did
not have the necessary space for the facilityor the property owners were not interested in leasing the
space for the facility.The proposed antenna would have a lesser impact on the aestheticsof the area
as compared to other alternative locations since it would blend into the group of other pine trees in
the immediate vicinity.
CONCLUSION:
Staff believes that the conditions exist for Planning Commission to make the
required findings to approve this request. The proposed telecommunications facilitywould be
compatible with surrounding land uses and would help support the local community by improving
telecommunication service in the area. The facility is designed in a manner that minimizes visual
and potential noise impacts onsurroundingland uses, including theadjacentresidential
neighborhoodto the east.Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit.

at a church(herein referred to as the "Proposed Project") for certain real property located at 2930
West Ball Roadin the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, as generally
depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit Aand incorporated herein by this reference (the
“Property”); and
WHEREAS, the Property, consisting of approximately3.1acres, is developed with a
church. The Anaheim General Plan designates the Neighborhood Center Commercialland uses.
The Property is located within the Transition (T) Zone. As such, the Property is subject to the
zoning and development standards described in Chapter 18.14(Public and Specail-Purpose
Zones)of the Anaheim Municipal Code (the "Code"); and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center
in the City of Anaheim on May 4, 2015at 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 said proposed
Conditional Use Permit No. 2014-05744, andto investigate and make findings and
recommendations in connection therewith; and
WHEREAS, as the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act

3.The size and shape of the site for the proposed 50-foot high Wireless
Communications Facility designed as a monopineis adequate to allow the full development of
the proposed use, in a manner not detrimental to either the particular area or health and safety
because the site can accommodate the telecommunications monopinewithout creating
detrimental effects on adjacent properties.
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 no traffic
will be generated by this unmanned telecommunications facility;and
5.The granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed will not be
detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim because the Proposed
Project will be compatible with surrounding landuses.
6.Alternatives were provided to staff, including but not limited to additional and/or
different locations and designs. Staff has determinedand this Planning Commission hereby
findsthat the application,as approved,would have a lesser impact on the aesthetics and welfare
of the surrounding community as compared to other alternatives;
7.Based on the evidence presented, the additional height above the maximum building
height for the applicable zone is reasonably necessary for co-location of facilities or for the
efficient operation of the proposed Wireless Communications Facility; and
8.Any negative impacts of the proposed Wireless Communications Facilityare
properly mitigated.
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 the Planning Commission does hereby
approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2014-05744, contingent upon and subject to the conditions
of approval described in Exhibit Battached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference,

Authorized Agent for Verizon Wireless
City of Anaheim
APPLICATION FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
ProjectInformation and Justification
BACKGROUND
With current efforts underway to establish the required infrastructure for its network in the
City of Anaheim, Verizon Wireless has retained the services of Core Development Services to
facilitate the land use entitlement process. On behalf of Verizon, Core is submitting an
application to the City requesting approval to construction and operation an unmanned
wireless telecommunications facility and to present the following project information for your
consideration:
Site ID: Hayward
Address: 2930 W. Ball Road, Anaheim, CA 92804
APN: 126-271-32
Zoning: T (Transitional)
Use: Anaheim Community Church
PROJECT REPRESENTATIVE-MAIN POINT OF CONTACT

Rmiletich@core.us.com
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Verizon is proposing to construct a new, unmanned, stealth wireless facility at the address
referenced above. The proposal involves the construction of a new 50’-0” monopine tree,
screened with three pine trees and extensive landscaping for additional screening. The tower
will accommodate the installation of twelve (12) panel antennas, one (1) MW dish antenna, two
(2) raycap boxes, and twelve (12) RRU’s. The panel antennas will have a centerline of 45’-0” and
the microwave dish of 37’-0”. The wireless tower will be composed of RF transparent material,
and will be screened with extensive landscaping.
A 500 square foot lease area for an 8’-2” high CMU equipment enclosure with the monopine
mounted within the equipment enclosure. The enclosure have two (2) GPS antennas mounted
to the wall, withfive (5) equipment cabinets and one (1) stand-by generator on a raised
concrete pad. The 8’-0” CMU enclosure wall will consist of a 2” high decorative cap, and will be
painted and texturized to match the church exterior.
MAINTENANCE AND MONITORING
The facility is unmanned and operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Since the facility is
unmanned, it will not generate any traffic or impact traffic circulation. The facility is connected
to a central network operations center that monitors the facility’s status. Routine maintenance
occurs once every 4-6 weeks to ensure the equipment is operating within normal specifications.
Should an emergency arise, maintenance crews are dispatched as necessary to correct the
situation.
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Sealed lead acid batteries are used for stand-by power in the event of a power failure on most
Verizon Wireless Facilities. The batteries are often referred to as “gel cell” type batteries. Prior
to issuing of Building Permits, Verizon will complete the Hazardous Materials Questionnaire and
get the appropriate approvals from County. Additionally, the facility will not create any
hazardous odor, light or glare.
PROPERTY CHARACTERISTICS
The subject property is the Anaheim Community Church. The land use designation of the
proposed site is T (Transitional). The Church is located on a somewhat neglected block; the
property across the street is empty. A steeple tower structure may help the Church both
aesthetically and economically. The parcel is abutting residential to the east and south. The
antennas are setback from residential dwellings enough to propose the 50’-0” tower height per
the “Height Scale” in Table 8-F, Chapter 18.08 in the Anaheim Municipal Code. There is service
every weekday during the afternoon/evening and on Sundays. The Church has a moderate base
The proposed lease area is directly adjacent to the walkway and entrance. There

are no known scenic aspects of this site and no known adverse soils conditions. There are no
known protected species of plants or animals on site.
The surrounding land uses are as follows:

South: Residential
East: Residential
West: Commercial & Residential

PROJECT OBJECTIVE
Wireless carriers deploy new wireless facilities in a specific area to achieve the one of the
following:
Provide signal coverage of sufficient strength to achieve consistent, sustainable, and
reliable service to customers at a level sufficient for outdoor, in-vehicle, and in-building
penetration with good voice and data quality during high demand periods. (Threshold, -
85dBm).
Provide additional system capacity to ensure there is sufficient signal capacity to offset
the contraction of signal experienced when nearby sites become overloaded and more
enhanced voice and data services are used (4G and other high speed data services)
thereby creating periodic gaps. With heavy use this contraction of signal is intensified
due to the unique properties of digital radio transmissions.
Page 3
In this specific case Verizon’s radio frequency (RF) engineers observed that the
existing/surrounding Verizon sites are becoming overloaded, and determined that an additional
facility is needed in order to relieve network traffic congestion and ensure reliable levels of
service. Specifically, this site will provide capacity offload to PLAZA PINES GAMMA sector. Radio
frequency coverage maps have been provided to illustrate this issue with the network. The
deployment of the proposed site will provide a significant improvement over the existing
conditions.
The proposed facility will provide an integral link in Verizon’s Wireless’ proposed network and is
designed to provide coverage to this area of the City of Anaheim. The site is a necessity to the
general welfare and public safety of the community. At present, Verizon Wireless is
experiencing capacity issues as well as poor performance in providing in-building coverage
within the residential community surrounding this specific area. The proposed site will provide
reliable wireless telecommunications services to Verizon customers throughout the community.

SITING ANALYSIS
Customer demand drives the need for new cell sites. Data relating to incomplete and dropped
calls is gathered, drive-tests are conducted, and scientific modeling using sophisticated
software is evaluated. Once the area requiring a new site is identified, a target/search ring on a
map is provided to a real estate professional to being a search for a suitable location.
During an initial reconnaissance, properties considered for the installation of a cell site must be
located in the general vicinity of the ring, with an appropriate zoning designation, and appear to
have enough space to accommodate an antenna structure and the supporting radio equipment.
The size of the space will vary depending on the objective of the site. The owners of each
prospective location are notified to assess their interest in partnering with Verizon Wireless.
Four key elements are considered in the selection process:
Leasing: The property must have an owner who is willing to enter into a long-term lease
agreement under very specific terms and conditions.
Zoning: It must be suitably zoned in accordance with local land-use codes to allow for a
successful permitting process.
Construction: Construction constraints and costs must be reasonable from a business
perspective, and it must be feasible for the proposed project to be constructed in
accordance with local building code and safety standards.
RF: The property and facility must strategically be located to be able to achieve the RF
engineer’s objective to close the significant gap with antennas at a height to clear
nearby obstructions.
The search area to address the coverage gap described above is predominantly commercial and
residential with the exception of the subject parcel, Anaheim Community Church. The Site
Selection/ Alternative Site Analysis section belowdetails the characteristics of the surrounding
land uses, topography of the property, and the reasons why a site is or is not feasible.
SITE SELECTION/ PREFERRED SITES
The search area ring was created by the radio frequency engineer (RF) for Verizon Wireless site
“Hayward” and is centered commercial and residential areas.
While it is ideal for Verizon to locate
their facility as far away from residential uses as possible, it is often times a challenge to do so when the
intended coverage is for the residential community. In order to be closer to the coverage area, Verizon
community while still meeting coverage,
needs to find a location that is the least obtrusive to the
design and construction objectives..
The proposed location for the wireless communication facility was chosen for its ability to meet
the intended coverage objective of the surrounding residential units. The proposed equipment
Page 5
shelter and monopine will also be built to match the adjacent existing church building.
Furthermore, the proposed site will not interfere with the anticipated growth of the
development or surrounding land uses. On the contrary, the wireless facility will allow for
better signal coverage in the area to accommodate future growth and greater Verizon usage.
Also, the antennas within the tower will not be visible due to the full FRP screening and will not
be identifiable as a wireless facility from surrounding residential areas and vantage points, as is
demonstrated in the submitted photographic simulations. The proposed design will be in
context of its surroundings.
ALTERNATIVE SITE ANALYSIS
Verizon Wireless explores candidates very thoroughly during the site selection process and
ranks them or rules them out based on their ability or inability to meet the coverage or capacity
needs of the search ring, as well as other factors including construction feasibility, leasing
feasibility, zoning feasibility, etc. Therefore, by the time an application is submitted, the best
candidate and least obtrusive design would have been selected and proposed. The following is
a detailed list of the properties explored for the proposed wireless telecommunications facility:
YIP - 3024 W. BALL ROAD, ANAHEIM, CA 92804
Strip mall property is located closest to center of ring. There is an existing 30 foot cupola in
center of property which may be utilized for the antennas. Several stores are vacant. Property
Page 6
was recently transferred to Property Owner’s living trust. RF rejected candidate due to not
meet the RF antennas height.
SHADOW PARK -916 S. BEACH BLVD., ANAHEIM, CA 92804
Proposal was to place antennas within an existing 30 foot clock tower on this motel facing
Beach Blvd. Rear of property abuts apartment complex. Proposal was not meeting RF antenna
height and property owner was not interested.
PICK YOUR PART - 10181 BEACH BLVD., STANTON, CA 90680
This is a large auto parts “junk yard” that is owned by LKQ Corporation. There is a tall, slim, 30
foot tower in the middle of the property that could be used for wireless antennas and
equipment. LKQ is a national publically traded corporation with an in-house team of attorneys.
The property may cause environmental issues for the facility. LL not interested in placing
antennas and equipment in middle of property. Site will not meet RF required antenna height.
LINDY’S MOTEL - LATITUDE: 33.817708°, LONGITUDE: -117.992186°
Property Owner is not interested in lease.
HERMANOS - LATITUDE: 33.817708°, LONGITUDE: -117.992186°
Property Owner is not interested in lease.
ADVENTURE CITY - LATITUDE: 33.815579°, LONGITUDE: -117.992893°
Property is owned by a family. Family is interested in leasing yet concerned about selling the
property down the line. Multiple family members involved in transactional decisions.
Ultimately, property owner decided they would not leave to Verizon until they knew their plans
for future redevelopment as they were unsure where to place the Verizon facility on the
property.
PROJECT BENEFITS
The proposed project will provide the following community benefits:
Telephone, data transmission, paging, short message functions, and voicemail services
and reliable services for emergency purposes.
Personal safety and security for community members in an emergency, or when there is
an urgent need to reach family members or friends. Safety is the primary reason
parents provide their children with cell phones. Currently 25% of preteens, 9 to 12, and
75% of all teens, 13 to 19, have cell phones.
Enhanced emergency response communications for police, fire, paramedics and other
Page 7
emergency services.
Enhanced 911 Services (E911)- The FCC mandates that all cell sites have location
capability. Effective site geometry within the overall network is needed to achieve
accurate location information for mobile users through triangulation with active cell
sites (over half of all 911 calls are made using mobile phones).
Better voice and reception quality.
Higher security and privacy for telephone users.
REGULATING AGENCIES
Verizon Wireless is a registered public utility, licensed and regulated by the Public Utilities
Commission (CPUC) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). As a public utility,
Verizon Wireless is licensed by the FCC, is authorized to operate, and must provide wireless
communication services throughout the nation.
Verizon Wireless’ telecommunications facilities operate at the lowest possible power levels and
are well below established standards used by the FCC for safe human exposure to radio
frequency electromagnetic fields. These standards have been tested and proven safe by the
American National Standards Institute and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE). The proposed communications facility will operate in full compliance with the U.S.
standards for radio frequency emissions as published by the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI). The ANSI was developed by the committee composed of 125 scientists from
universities, non-profit laboratories and Federal Health Laboratories (FDA, NIOSH and EPA). In
1992 the ANSI established, as a public safety standard, a maximum exposure level to radio
.
frequency emissions of 1000 microwatts per centimeter squared (1,000 uW/cm2)
The development of this facility will further enhance Verizon’s Southern California wireless
network by allowing its customers reliable access to Verizon’s nationwide network of services.
Similar to the other existing wireless service providers, each Verizon Wireless communications
facility, or base station, will consist of transmitting and receiving antennas mounted on a
communication tower or other suitable structure. This specific proposed site will become an
integral part of Verizon’s City of Anaheim’s wireless network.
The enclosed application is presented for your consideration. Verizon Wireless requests a
favorable determination and approval to build the proposed facility. Please contact me at (714)
294-8933 or eahmed@core.us.com for any questions or requests for additional information.

2)That the proposed use will not adversely affect the adjoining land uses, or
the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be
located;
3)That the size and shape of the site proposed for the use is adequate to allow
the full development of the proposed use, in a manner not detrimental to
either the particular area or health and safety;
4)That the traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue
burden upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the
traffic in the area; and
5)That the granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions
imposed, if any, will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the
citizens of the City of Anaheim.
A conditional use permit is required to permit physical fitness facilities in this zonein order to
determine compatibility with the surrounding area.Staff believes that the proposed use wouldbe
compatible with other businesses in the surrounding areabecause all fitness activities would be
conducted within the building andclasses would operate primarily duringoff-peak hours for the
office building.With the conditions imposed,such as prohibitingany outdoor fitness activities
and restrictingoperation to those outlined in the attached Letter ofRequest,the establishment of
this use would not impactthe operationsor opportunities for expansion of other nearby
businessesor be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim.
Parking:The Zoning Code requires that parking requirementsbe calculated by combining the
needs of the physical fitness facility and the officeuseson the property.The fitness facility and
industrial businessesrequirea total of 329parking spaces;18are required for the fitness facility
and 311for the other uses within the office complex.The property contains a total of 350parking
spaces;therefore, the parking provided for the combined uses complieswith the City’s
requirements.
CONCLUSION:
Staff believes that the conditions exist for Planning Commission to make the
required findings to approve this request. Theproposed physical fitness business is compatible
with on-site office uses and the industrial and commercial uses inthe surrounding area. The
number of parking spaces provided exceeds ZoningCode requirements.Staff recommends
approval of this request.

A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM PLANNING COMMISSION
APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2014-05783
MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2015-00012)
(1100 EAST ORANGETHORPEAVENUE)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (the "Planning
Commission") did receive a verified petition toapprove Conditional Use Permit No. 2014-05783
to permit a physical fitness facilitywithin an existing office complex(referred to herein as the
"Proposed Project") for that certain real property located at 1100 East OrangethorpeAvenuein
the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, as generally depicted on the map
attached hereto as Exhibit Aand incorporated herein by this reference (the "Property"); and
WHEREAS, the Property is approximately 2.4acres in size and is currently
developed with twoofficebuildings. The Anaheim General Plan designates the Property for
Office-Lowland uses. TheProperty is located in the “I”IndustrialZone. As such, the Property
is subject to the zoning and development standards described in Chapter 18.10(Industrial Zones)
of the Anaheim Municipal Code(the "Code"); 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 (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 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, on May 4, 2015, 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 ConditionalUse Permit No. 2014-05783and to
investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; 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 with respect to a physical fitness facility in an existing industrial building,
does find and determine the following facts:
1.The proposed request to permit a physical fitness facility within an existing
office complexis properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized under the classes
of allowable uses set forth inTable 10-A as "Dance &Fitness Studios-Small", as referenced in
paragraph .0402 of subsection.040 ofSection No. 18.10.030 of the Code.
-1-PC2015-***
2.The proposed conditional use permit to permit a physical fitness facility, as
conditioned herein, would notadversely affect the adjoining land uses and the growth and
development of the area in which it is proposed to be located because the building is surrounded
by compatible buildings and uses; and, the physical fitness facility would be located within an
existing building with no adverse effects to adjoining land uses.
3.The size and shape of the site for the use is adequate to allow the full
development of the physical fitness facility in a manner not detrimental to the particular area or
to the health and safety because the facility would be located within an existing office building
that is surrounded byindustrial and office uses.
4.The traffic generated by the physical fitness facility will not impose an undue
burden upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area
because the traffic generated by this use will not exceed the anticipated volumes oftraffic on the
surrounding streets and adequate parking will be provided to accommodate the use.
5.The granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed will
not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim as the proposed
land use will continue to be integrated with the surroundingoffice andindustrial area and would
not pose a health or safety risk to the citizens of the City of Anaheim.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does
hereby approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2015-05783, contingentupon and subject to the
conditions of approval described in Exhibit Battached hereto and incorporated herein by this

May 4, 2015
Page 3of 3
The Zoning Code requires a conditional use permit foradult day care facilities in this zone to
determine compatibility with surrounding land usesand to ensure that the project site is adequate
to support the proposed use.This facility has been operating at this location for 11 yearswithout
negatively impacting surrounding businesses or properties. Staff has conducted an inspection of
the property and observed that the property was well maintained and there are noCode violations
on the property.Thefacilityhas a track record of operatingin conformance with the approved
conditional use permit and associated conditions of approval. Therefore, staff believes the
expansion of this facility would not adversely affect the adjoining land uses and would be
compatible with the surrounding area. In addition, this facility provides an essential service to
enhance the lives of disabled adults in the community.
CONCLUSION:
Staff believes that theconditions exist for Planning Commission to make the
required findings to approve this request. The expansion of the existingadult day care facility is
compatible with existing and surrounding uses. The facility has an excellent track record of
operation without impacting surrounding properties. Therefore, staff recommends that the
amendment be approved.

1.The request to permit the Proposed Project is an allowable use as a “Day Care
Center” within the "C-G" CommercialGeneral Zone under subsection .030 of Section 18.08of
theCode provided that a conditional use permit is approved; and
2.The proposed amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-04761to permit
the expansion of an adult daycare facility with up to 64clients into an adjacent tenantspace at
the Property would not adversely affect the adjoining land uses, or the growth and development
of the area in which it is proposed to be locatedbecause the useis consistent with the operational
characteristics of the original approval for an adult day care facility; and
3.The size and shape of the site is adequate to allow the full development of the
adultday care facility in a manner not detrimental to the particular area or to the health and
safety because the property is currently improved with a commercial center with no proposed
expansion and the existing buildingcurrentlyutilized as a adultday carefacility.
4.The traffic generated by the adultday care facility, as expanded,will not impose
an undue burden upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the
area because the traffic generated by this use will not exceedthe anticipated volumes of traffic
on the surrounding streets and adequate parking will be provided to accommodate the use.
Further, the number of vehiclesentering and exiting the site are consistent with existingand
permitted businesses within the building and the number of parking spaces complies with code
with 43spaces required and 56 spaces provided.

Page 2 of 3
FINDINGSAND ANALYSIS:
Before the Planning Commission may approve a conditional
use permit, it must make a finding of fact that the evidence presented shows that all of the
following conditions exist:
1)That the proposed use is properly one for which a conditional use permit is
authorized by this Zoning Code;
2)That the proposed use will not adversely affect the adjoining land uses, or
the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be
located;
3)That the size and shape of the site proposed for the use is adequate to allow
the full development of the proposed use, in a manner not detrimental to
either the particular area or health and safety;
4) That the traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue
burden upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the
traffic in the area; and
5)That the granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions
imposed, if any, will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the
citizens of the City of Anaheim.
Restaurants with sales of alcoholic beverages require approval of a conditional use permitin this
zonein order to determine compatibility with surrounding land uses. Staff believes the addition
of this restaurant with alcoholic beverage sales would be compatible with other businesses in the
center, as well as the nearby commercial properties. The proposed restaurant space is located in a
commercial building adjacent to Euclid Avenue and the unit faces the interior of the shopping
center.There are two other businesses in this shopping center with alcoholic beverage licenses
including the 99 Ranch Market which sells alcohol for off-premises consumption and the Tin Tin
Restaurant which has a beer and wine license for on-site consumption.Because there is only one
other restaurant in the shopping center with an alcohol license,staff believesthat the addition of
thislicense wouldnot create an over-concentration of alcohol serving usesin the area or
negatively impact surrounding properties.In addition, the restaurantspace would belocated
more than300 feet fromthe residential properties south of Crescent Street and more than 600 feet
from the residential properties to the west.
Parking Variance:
A variance shall be granted upon a finding by the Planning Commission or City Council that the
evidence presented shows that all of thefollowing conditions exist:
1)That the variance, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not cause
fewer off-street parking spaces to be provided for the proposed use than the
number of such spaces necessary to accommodate all vehicles attributable
to such use under the normal and reasonably foreseeable conditions of
operation of such use;
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2015-05781 VARIANCE NO. 2015-05013
May 4, 2015
Page 3 of 3
2)That the variance, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not increase
the demand and competition for parking spaces upon the public streets in
the immediate vicinity of the proposed use;
3)That the variance, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not increase
the demand and competition for parking spaces upon adjacent private
property in the immediate vicinity of the proposed use;
4)That the variance, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not increase
traffic congestion within the off-street parking areas or lots provided for the
proposed use; and
5)That the variance, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not impede
vehicular ingress to or egress from adjacent properties upon the public
streets in the immediate vicinity of the proposed use.
The Zoning Code requires 17parking spacesfor the proposed restaurant.The previous tenants in
thisspace required 12 spaces, so the new restaurantwill increase the parking requirement byfive
spaces.The combined shopping center uses require895parking spaces and there are 683 spaces
provided.Several parking variances have been granted on this property over the years based on
studies prepared by licensed traffic engineers. The most recent study wasprepared in 2009for
the Jollibee drive thru restaurant.Thisstudy identifieda peak parking demand of 457 spaces.
There have been no significant changesin the commercial tenant mixsince this study.Staff has
made several visits to this property since the submittal of this application and observed that while
certain areas of the center can be congestedduring peak times, there is adequate parking available
on the property and there is no evidenceof parking impacts from this site on adjacent streets or
properties.Based upon the historical parking demand identified intheparking studies, the
attached parking justification from the applicant,and staff observations, staff recommends
approval of the parking variance as the increase in parking spaces for this proposal is only five
spaces and the number of parking spaces available on-site are adequate to accommodate this
increase.
CONCLUSION
:Staff believes that the conditions exist for Planning Commission to makethe
required findings to approve this request. The restaurantwith sales of alcoholic beverage is
compatible with the surrounding commercial land usesand will not adversely affect adjoining
land uses.In addition, there is adequate parking to accommodate the proposed use.Therefore,
staff recommends approval of the conditional use permitand parking variance.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSIONOF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMITNO. 2015-05781
ANDVARIANCE NO. 2015-05013AND MAKINGCERTAIN FINDINGS IN
CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2015-00009)
(605-607 NORTH EUCLID AVENUE)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (the "Planning
Commission") did receive a verified petition to approve (i) Conditional Use Permit No. 2015-
05781to permita restaurant with sales of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption,
and (ii) Variance No. 2015-05013to allow fewer parking spaces than required by the
Anaheim Municipal Code (the "Code") (collectively referred to herein as the "Proposed
Project") for premises located at that certain real property at 605-607 North Euclid Avenuein
the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, as generally depicted on the map
attached hereto as Exhibit Aand incorporated herein by this reference (the "Property"); and
WHEREAS, the Property is approximately 10.5acres in size and is currently
developed with an commercial retail center.The Anaheim General Plan designates the
Property for Regional Commercial land uses. The Property is located in the General
Commercial Zone and is subject to the zoning and development standards of Chapter 18.08
(Commercial Zones) of the Code; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic
Center in the City of Anaheim on May 4, 2015at 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 proposed
Conditional Use Permit No. 2015-05781and Varaince No. 2015-05013, 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
(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 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
-1-PC2015-***
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 Conditional Use Permit No. 2015-
05781, does find and determine the following:
1.The request for a conditional use permit to permit a restaurant with sales of
alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumptionis properly one for which a
conditional use permit is authorizedby Code Section No 18.08.030.040.0402,
subject to the imposition of conditions of approval.
2.The conditional use permit, under the conditions imposed, will not adversely
affect the surrounding land uses and the growth and development of the area
because the Property is developed with a commercial retail centerand the
Proposed Project will occupy space previously occupied by a restaurant and
retail tenant.
3.The size and shape of the Property is adequate to allow the fulloperation of the
proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area or to the health,
safety and general welfare.
4.The traffic generated by the use would not impose an undue burden upon the
streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area
because the commercial retail center was designed for restaurant and retail
trafficand that the traffic associated with the proposed restaurant is similar to
the traffic associated with the previous restaurant and retail tenants.
5.The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 2015-05781under 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.
WHEREAS, based upon the parking justification letter submitted by the applicant,
previous parking studies conducted on the property in recent years, and observations made by
staff,the Planning Commission does further find and determine that the request for a variance
for less parking than required by the Code should be approved for the following reasons:
SECTION NO. 18.42.040.010Minimum number of parking spaces.
(895spaces required; 683spaces proposed)
1.Based, in part, upon a review of the findings of a parking justification analysis
submitted by the applicant,previous parking studies conducted on the
property in recent years, and observations made by staff,that the variance,
under the conditions imposed, will not cause fewer off-street parking spaces
to be provided for the proposed use than the number of such spaces necessary
to accommodate all vehicles attributable to such use under the normal and
reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation of such use because the
number of spaces required for this use is comparable to the number of spaces
required for retail uses in the center and the studies and observations indicate
that there enough parking spaces to accommodate this request;
-2-PC2015-***
2.That the variance, under the conditions imposed, will not increasethe demand
and competition for parking spaces upon the public streets in the immediate
vicinity of the proposed use because the on-site parking will adequately
accommodate the peak parking demands of the proposed resstaurant;
3.That the variance, under the conditions imposed, will not increase the demand
and competition for parking spaces upon adjacent private property in the
immediate vicinity of the proposed use because the on-site parking for the
commercial retail centerwill adequately accommodate peak parking demands
of the use on the site;
4.That the variance, under the conditions imposed, will not increase traffic
congestion within the off-street parking areas or lots provided for the
proposed use because the project site provides adequate ingress and egress
points to the property and are designed to allow for adequate on-site
circulation; and
That the variance, under the conditions imposed, will not impede vehicular
5.
ingress to or egress from adjacent properties upon the public streets in the
immediate vicinity of the proposed use because the project site has existing
ingress or egress access points that are designed to allow adequate on-site
circulation and,therefore,will not impede vehicular ingress to or egress from
adjacent properties uponthe public streets in the immediate vicinity of the
industrial property.
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 the Planning Commission does
hereby approve Conditional Use Permit No. No. 2015-05781and Variance No. 2015-05013,
contingent upon and subject totheconditions of approval set forthin Exhibit Battached
heretoandincorporated herein by this reference, whichare hereby found to be a necessary
prerequisite to the proposed use of the Property underVariance No. 2015-05013and
Conditional Use Permit No. 2015-05781in order to preserve the health, safety and general
