of California, as generally depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated
herein by this reference (the "Property") from the "T" Transition Zone, the "C -G" General
Commercial Zone and the Mobile Home Park (MHP) Overlay Zone to the "RM -4" Multiple -
Family Residential Zone, which reclassification is designated as "Reclassification No. 2015-
00282" for the purpose of allowing the applicant to construct a 120 -unit attached, single-family
residential project (herein referred to as the "Project'). Reclassification No. 2015-00282 is
proposed in conjunction with Conditional Use Permit No. 2015-05815, Variance No. 2015-
05046, and Tentative Tract Map No. 17920, now pending, which, together with the Project, shall
be referred to herein collectively as the "Proposed Project"; and
WHEREAS, subsequent to giving notice of said public hearing, it was determined that
Variance No. 2015-05046 was not warranted. Accordingly, Variance No. 2015-05046 has been
eliminated as a part of the petitioner's request and is not a part of the Proposed Project; and
WHEREAS, the Property is approximately 5.5 acres in size and is located in the "T"
Transition and "C -G" General Commercial Zones. The Property is also located within the
Mobile Home Park (MHP) Overlay Zone meaning that the regulations contained in Chapter
18.26 (Mobile Home Park (MHP) Overlay Zone) of the Anaheim Municipal Code (the "Code")
apply in addition to and, where inconsistent therewith, shall supersede any regulations of the "T"
Transition or the "C -G" General Commercial Zone, as the case may be. The Property is
designated on the Land Use Element of the General Plan for "Medium Density Residential" uses;
and
WHEREAS, Reclassification No. 2015-00282 proposes to apply the zoning and
development standards of the "RM -4" Multiple -Family Residential Zone to the Property; 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 - PC2016-007
WHEREAS, in conformance with CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines and the City's Local
CEQA Procedure Manual, a Mitigation Monitoring Plan ("MMP No. 327") 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 January 25, 2016 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
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 CEQA Guidelines, and
the City's Local CEQA Procedure Manual, this Planning Commission found and determined 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. 327, and approved and adopted the Mitigated
Negative Declaration and MMP No. 327; 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 from the "T" Transition Zone, the "C -G"
General Commerical Zone and the Mobile Home Park (MHP) Overlay Zone to the "RM -4"
Single -Family Residential Zone is consistent with the Medium Density Residential land use
designation for the Property;
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
residential 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, this 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. This 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, on the basis of the above findings and
determinations, this Planning Commission does hereby approve Reclassification No. 2015-00282
to authorize an amendment to the Zoning Map of the Anaheim Municipal Code to rezone and
reclassify the Property into the "RM -4" Multiple -Family Residential Zone and recommends that
- 2 - PC2016-007
the City Council adopt an ordinance reclassifying the Property in accordance with
Reclassification No. 2015-00282.
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
January 25, 2016.
