Commission") did receive a verified petition to approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05876
to permit an artistic mural on an existing industrial building (the "Proposed Project"), to be
located at 2300 East Orangewood 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 1.4 acres in size and is currently developed
with an industrial building. The Land Use Element of the Anaheim General Plan designates the
Property for "M -U" Mixed Use land uses. The Property is located within the "I" Industrial Zone
and the Platinum Triangle Mixed Use (PTMU) Overlay Zone (the "PTMU Overlay Zone").
Property owners within the PTMU Overlay Zone may develop their properties in accordance
with the underlying zone, in this case the development standards and regulatons of Chapter 18.10
(Industrial Zone) of the Anaheim Muncipal Code (the "Code") or the the development standards
and regulations of Chapter 18.20 (Platinum Triangle Mixed Use (PTMU) Overlay Zone) of 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 August 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. 2016-05876 and to
investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; 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 11 — Accessory Structures) which consists of
the construction, or replacement of minor structures accessory to (appurtenant to) existing
commercial, industrial, or institutional facilities, including but not limited to on -premise signs,
and that, therefore, pursuant to Section 15311 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. 2016-05876, does find
and determine the following:

18.44.030 (Definitions) of Chapter 18.44 (Signs) of the Code, in the "I" Industrial Zone or the

paragraph .0104 of subsection .010 of Section 18.44.050 (Conditional Use Permit Required) of
Chapter 18.44 (Signs) of the Code.
2. The proposed request to permit an artistic mural for an existing industrial building
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 mural would beautify the existing industrial
building add add an artistic element for the benefit of the adjacent office complex.
3. The size and shape of the site is adequate to allow the full development of the
proposed mural in a manner not detrimental to the particular area nor to the health, safety and
general welfare of the public.

upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area because the
number of vehicles entering and exiting the project site would not change and the proposed
mural will not increase traffic in the vicinity.
5. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05876 under the conditions
imposed will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim.

declares that it considered all evidence presented and reached these findings after due
consideration of all evidence presented to it.
