Conditional Use Permit No. 2015-05780, Tentative Tract Map No. 17846, and Tentative Tract

single-family attached condominium units and 922 square feet of commercial space (herein
referred to as the "Project"). Reclassification No. 2015-00276 is proposed in conjunction with
General Plan Amendment No. 2015-00499, Conditional Use Permit No. 2015-05780, Tentative
Tract Map No. 17846, and Tentative Tract Map No. 17992, together with the Project, shall be
referred to herein collectively as the "Proposed Project"; and
WHEREAS, the Property is approximately 7 acres in size and is located, in part,
in the "I" Industrial Zone, which is a zone under the Zoning Code that "provide[s] for and
encourage[s] the development of industrial uses and their related facilities, recognize[s] the
unique and valuable existing industrial land resources, and encourage[s] industrial employment
opportunities within the City", and, in part, in the "CG" General Commercial Zone, which is a
zone under the Zoning Code that "allow[s] a variety of land uses including some identified for
the Neighborhood Center Commercial Zone". The Property is designated on the Land Use
Element of the General Plan for "Mixed Use" and "Open Space" uses; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.; herein referred to as
"CEQA"), the State of California Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental
Quality Act (herein referred to as the "CEQA Guidelines"), and the City's Local CEQA
Procedure Manual, the City is the "lead agency" for the preparation and consideration of
environmental documents for the Proposed Project; and
WHEREAS, in conformance with CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines and the City's
Local CEQA Procedure Manual, a draft Mitigated Negative Declaration ("MND") was prepared
to evaluate the physical environmental impacts of the Proposed Project; and
- 1 - PC2015-108
WHEREAS, in conformance with CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines and the City's
Local CEQA Procedure Manual, a Mitigation Monitoring Plan ("MMP No. 325") has been
prepared for the Proposed Project and includes mitigation measures that are specific to the
Proposed Project; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic
Center in the City of Anaheim on December 14, 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 (the "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
WHEREAS, by the adoption of a resolution concurrently with, but prior in time
to, the adoption of this Resolution and pursuant to the provisions of CEQA, the State CEQA
Guidelines, and the City's Local CEQA Procedure Manual, this Planning Commission found and
determined and recommended that the City Council also find and determine that the Proposed
Project will have a less than significant impact upon the environment with the implementation of
the conditions of approval and the mitigation measures attached to that concurrent Resolution
and contained in MMP No. 325 and that the City Council approve and adopt the Mitigated
Negative Declaration and MMP No. 325; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, after due consideration, 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 into the Mixed Use (MU) Overlay Zone is
consistent with the existing Mixed Use land use designation on a portion of the Property, and
also as proposed for a portion of the Property by General Plan Amendment No. 2015-00499,
now pending;
2. The proposed reclassification of the Property is necessary and/or desirable
for the orderly and proper development of the Property and is compatible with the surrounding
land uses.
3. The proposed reclassification of the Property does properly relate to the zone
and permitted uses established 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.
- 2 - PC2015-108
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, on the basis of the above findings
and determinations, the Planning Commission does hereby recommend that the City Council
approve Reclassification No. 2015-0026 to authorize an amendment to the Zoning Map of the
Anaheim Municipal Code to rezone and reclassify the Property into the Mixed Use (MU)
Overlay Zone and recommends that the City Council adopt an ordinance reclassifying the
Property in accordance with Reclassification No. 2015-00276, contingent upon and subject to the
approval and adoption by the City Council of proposed General Plan Amendment No. 2015-
00499, now pending.
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.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION was adopted at the Planning Commission
meeting of December 14, 2015.
