A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2015-05846
TO PERMIT A TYPE 47 (ON SALE GENERAL -EATING PLACE) ALCOHOLIC
BEVERAGE CONTROL LICENSE AND
MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2015-00130)
(2114 EAST LINCOLN AVENUE)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (the "Planning
Commission") did receive a verified petition to approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2015-05846
to permit the sales and consumption of beer, wine, and distilled spirits at a proposed new
restaurant within a portion of an existing commercial center (the "Proposed Project") located at
2114 East Lincoln Avenue 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 26.86 acres in size and is currently developed
with a commercial retail center. The Anaheim General Plan designates the Property for Regional
Commercial land uses. The Property is located within the "C -G" General Commercial Zone. As
such, the Property is subject to the zoning and development standards described in Chapter 18.08
(General Commercial Zone) of the Anaheim Municipal Code (the "Code"); and
WHEREAS, notice of a public hearing to be held by the Planning Commission at the
Civic Center in the City of Anaheim on February 22, 2016 at 5:00 p.m., was 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. 2015-05486,
and to investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith. The public
hearing was continued by the Planning Commission to March 7, 2016 at 5:00 p.m.; 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 effects of the Proposed Project are typical of those
generated 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, 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. 2015-05846, does find
and determine the following:
- 1 - PC2016-018
1. The proposed request to permit the restaurant with the sale and consumption of beer,
wine, and distilled spirits in an existing commercial retail center is an allowable use within the
"C -G" General Commercial Zone under subsection .010 of Section 18.08.030 (Uses) of Chapter
18.08 (Commercial Zones) of the Code, subject to a conditional use permit and the zoning and
development standards of the "C -G" General Commercial Zone.
2. The proposed request to permit the restaurant with the sale and consumption of beer,
wine, and distilled spirits in an existing commercial retail center would not adversely affect the
surrounding land uses and the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be
located because the Property is currently developed with a commercial retail center and the
proposed use of a portion of the Property as a restaurant is compatible with the existing uses
within the commercial center and uses in the surrounding area.
3. The size and shape of the site is adequate to allow the full development of the
proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area nor to the health, safety and
general welfare of the public because the Property is currently improved with a commercial retail
center, no expansion to the building is proposed, and on-site parking is adequate to accommodate
the new restaurant.
4. The traffic generated by permitting the restaurant with the sale and consumption of
beer, wine, and distilled spirits in an existing commercial retail center would not impose an
undue burden upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the
area because the number of vehicles entering and exiting the Property are consistent with the
existing commercial use of the Property and the permitted businesses within the commercial
center.
5. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 2015-05846 under the conditions
imposed will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim.
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, pursuant to the above findings, this
Planning Commission does hereby approve Conditional Use Permit No. No. 2015-05846,
contingent upon and subject to the conditions of approval set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto
and incorporated herein by this reference, which are hereby found to be a necessary prerequisite
to the proposed use of that portion of the Property for which Conditional Use Permit No. 2015-
05846 is applicable 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 - PC2016-018
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.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION was adopted at the Planning Commission meeting
of March 7, 2016. Said resolution is subject to the appeal provisions set forth in Chapter 18.60
(Procedures) of the Anaheim Municipal Code pertaining to appeal procedures and may be
replaced by a City Council Resolution in the event of an appeal.
