Anaheim Municipal Code to reflect the Proposed Project; amend

Vanessa Norwood, Associate Planner, provided a summary of the staff report dated September 8,
2014, along with a visual presentation. Commissioner Caldwell referred to the Master Land Use Plan and asked for clarification in regards to
there being no requirement for each developer to provide commercial area.

Ted White, Principal Planner, responded that there are certain locations where commercial area is required, specifically along Market Street in the Master Land Use Plan; however, for this project, there
is no requirement for commercial area. He further stated that the original commercial area that was
proposed for the subject project was not actually for 60,000 square feet. It was for 10,000 square
feet. The original proposal included 10,000 square feet of commercial area for the Mr. Stox
restaurant. The 60,000 square feet was analyzed during the environmental process for the project area but was not fully utilized by the original project. The current action is a clean-up in order to
reflect the current densities of the project.
Commissioner Caldwell then clarified, stating that there are parcels where commercial square footage
is mandated.
Mr. White responded yes, along Market Street in particular.
Commissioner Bostwick referred to changing the designation (Table LU-4) and he asked what
happens to those properties.
Ms. Norwood responded stating that elimination of the subject commercial area is specific to the
subject property; it does not affect the other parcels in the Katella District Sub-Area A as those remain
the same.
Commissioner Dalati asked if there are any plans to do street enhancements.
Ms. Norwood responded that there will be new streets; two new connector streets, one from Katella
Avenue, and one from Lewis Street.
David Kennedy, Principal Traffic Engineer, responded that there are no new traffic signals required for
the subject project at the time of construction; however, there is a long-term plan to put a new traffic
signal on Lewis Street where the new connector street meets Lewis Street.
Chairman Seymour opened the public hearing.
Della Herrick, 6366 San Rafael, Buena Park, applicant representative, stated she has reviewed the
conditions of approval and mitigation measures, and they are in agreement with the staff report.
Chairman Seymour asked Ms. Herrick what is the project’s anticipated start and completion date.
Ms. Herrick responded as soon as they go before the City Council meeting, as it is their due diligence
to get it started as soon as possible.
Chairman Seymour asked if anyone was present to speak on the item, seeing no other persons indicating to speak, he closed the public hearing.
