Resolution-PC 2016-060RESOLUTION NO. PC2016-060 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2016-05863 AND ADMINISTRATIVE ADJUSTMENT NO 2016-00384 AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH (DEV2016-00021) (546 SOUTH ROSE STREET) WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (the "Planning Commission") did receive a verified petition to approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05863 and Adminstrative Adjustment No. 2016-00384 to permit an automotive repair and modification use with less parking spaces than required by the Zoning Code within an existing multi -tenant industrial complex (the "Proposed Project") on a portion of that certain real property located at 546 South Rose Street 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 0.56 acres in size and is currently developed as a single -story industrial building. The Anaheim General Plan designates the Property for "R -M" Medium Density Residential land uses. The Property is located in the "I" Industrial Zone, meaning that the Property is subject to the zoning and development standards contained in Chapter 18.10 (Industrial Zones) of the Anaheim Municipal Code (the "Code"); and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in the City of Anaheim on July 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 (Procedures) of the Code, to hear and consider evidence for and against proposed Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05863 and Administrative Adjustment No. 2016-00384, 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 Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations; 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, 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 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 - 1 - PC2016-060 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 Proposed project and, specifically, with respect to the request for Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05863, does find and determine the following: 1. The proposed automotive repair and modification use is an allowable primary use permitted with a conditional use permit within the "I" Industrial Zone, as authorized under Table 10-A of Section 18.10.030 (Uses) of Chapter 18.10 (Industrial Zone) of the Code. 2. The proposed conditional use permit to permit an automotive repair and modification use, as conditioned herein, would not adversely affect the adjoining land uses and the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located because the facility would be located within an existing industrial building that will be adequately screened from public view and is surrounded by compatible buildings and uses. 3. The size and shape of the site for the use is adequate to allow the full development of the automotive repair and modification use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area or to the health and safety because the facility would be located within an existing industrial building that provides a sufficient number of onsite parking spaces and vehicle circulation will be in accordance with the plans and materials submitted. 4. The traffic generated by the automotive repair and modification use will not impose an undue burden upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area because the traffic generated by this use will not exceed the anticipated volumes of traffic on the surrounding streets and adequate parking and circulation will be provided to accommodate the use. 5. The granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim as the proposed land use will continue to be integrated with the surrounding industrial and multi -family residential uses in the area and would not pose a health or safety risk to the citizens of the City of Anaheim. WHEREAS, the Planning Commission does further find and determine that the request for Administrative Adjustment No. 2016-00384 should be approved for the following reasons: SECTION NO. 18.42.040.010 Minimum number of parking spaces. (12 spaces required; 11 spaces proposed) 1. The adjustment is consistent with the purposes and intent of the Zoning Code because the subject property is located in the "I" Industrial zone which encourages a variety of industrially -related land uses. Through observation, it was determined that the proposed parking would be adequate to serve the needs of the proposed automotive repair and modification use. - 2 - PC2016-060 2. The same or similar result cannot be achieved by using provisions in the Zoning Code that do not require the adjustment since the project site is located within an existing industrial building in which the size and configuration does not allow for additional parking spaces to be accommodated. The only alternative to processing an administrative adjustment would be to demolish a portion of the structures at the Property in order to provide space to accommodate the additional parking. 3. The adjustment will not produce a result that is out of character or detrimental to the neighborhood as the subject Property is located in an existing industrial complex with similar existing uses. The subject Property was observed on three occasions by staff, who observed sufficient parking availability to accommodate the business. The automotive repair and auto body shop has only two employees, and customer vehicles will only be on site when work is being conducted indoors, or stored at the rear of the Property; therefore, the automotive repair and modification use will not impact the surrounding neighborhood. 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. 2016-05863 and Administrative Adjustment No. 2016-00384, 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. 2016-05863 and Administrative Adjustment No. 2016-00384 are 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.

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. - 3 - PC2016-060 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.
