A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM
APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2016-05855 FOR A TYPE 41 ON SALE
BEER & WINE — EATING PLACE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL LICENSE AND
MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2016-00007)
(8032 EAST SANTA ANA CANYON ROAD)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (the "Planning
Commission") did receive a verified petition for Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05855 to
permit the sale of beer and wine with a Type 41 (On Sale Beer & Wine — Eating Place) license
issued by the State of California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (herein referred to
as "ABC") for on -premises consumption at an existing multi-plex cinema located at 8032 East
Santa Ana Canyon Road in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California (the
"Property") within a retail commercial center known as "The Festival" and generally depicted on
the map attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference; and
WHEREAS, the Property is approximately 2.64 acres in size and is currently developed
with a 62,676 square foot multi-plex cinema. The Anaheim General Plan designates the Property
for Regional Commercial land uses. The Property is located within The Festival Specific Plan
Area described in Specific Plan No. 90-1 for the Festival Regional Shopping Center ("Specific
Plan No. 90-1") and more particularly within the Retail Commercial and Entertainment
Development Area (Development Area 2) shown as Exhibit 7 to Specific Plan No. 90-1. As
such, the Property is subject to the zoning and development standards described in Chapter
18.108 (Festival Specific Plan No. 90-1 (SP 90-1) Zoning and Development Standards) of Title
18 (Zoning) of the Anaheim Municipal Code (the "Code"); and
WHEREAS, Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05855 is proposed in conjunction with a
request to amend certain zoning and development standards adopted in connection with
Specific Plan No. 90-1, which request is designated as "Specific Plan Adjustment No. 2016-
00067", to conditionally permit the sale of beer and wine for on -premises consumption in
connection with food sales at the one multi-plex cinema permitted in the Retail Commercial
and Entertainment Development Area (Development Area 2) of Specific Plan No. 90-1.
Specific Plan Adjustment No. 2016-00067 and Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05855 shall be
referred to herein collectively as the "Proposed Project"; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in
the City of Anaheim on April 18, 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
(Procedures) of the Code, to hear and consider evidence for and against proposed the Proposed
Project and to investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; 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 the Implementation of the California
Environmental Quality Act (commencing with Cal. Code Regs. tit. 14, § 15000; 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
- 1 - PC2016-029
WHEREAS, this 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 operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing,
licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical
equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that
existing at the time of this determination, and that, therefore, pursuant to Section 15301 of the
CEQA Guidelines, the Proposed Project will not cause a significant effect on the environment
and is, therefore, categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA; and
WHEREAS, this 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 Proposed Project and, specifically, with respect to the request for
Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05855, does find and determine the following:
1. The request to allow the sale of beer and wine with a Type 41 (On Sale Beer &
Wine — Eating Place) license for on -premises consumption in conjunction with an existing multi-
plex cinema building is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized, subject to
City Council approval of Specific Plan Adjustment No. 2016-00067.
2. The request to permit the sale of beer and wine for on -premises consumption in
conjunction with a multi-plex cinema 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 already developed with a multi-plex cinema building and the proposed use would be
compatible with the existing uses within the commercial center and 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 already improved with a multi-plex cinema
and adjacent shopping center and no expansion to the existing building or use is proposed.
4. The traffic generated by permitting the sale of beer and wine for on -premises
consumption in conjunction with a multi-plex cinema 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 site is consistent with typical businesses that would
be permitted as a matter of right within the Retail Commercial and Entertainment
Development Area (Development Area 2) of Specific Plan No. SP 90-1.
5. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05855 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 Proposed 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.
- 2 - PC2016-029
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the aforesaid findings and
determinations, this Planning Commission does hereby approve and adopt Conditional Use
Permit No. 2016-05855, contingent upon and subject to (i) the adoption by the City Council of
an ordinance authorizing the sale of beer and wine for on -premises consumption in connection
with food sales at the one multi-plex cinema permitted in the Retail Commercial and
Entertainment Development Area (Development Area 2) of Specific Plan No. 90-1, subject to a
conditional use permit under Specific Plan Adjustment No. 2016-00067, now pending, and (ii)
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 the
Property under Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05855 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

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

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this 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

void.
