ITEM NO. 2
PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT
DATE: JANUARY 23, 2017
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 1525A AND
VARIANCE NO. 2016-05082
LOCATION: 1853 West Ball Road (Living Stream Ministry)
APPLICANT/PROPERTY OWNER: The applicant and property owner is Living
Stream Ministry, represented by John Pester.
REQUEST: The applicant requests to amend a previously-approved conditional use
permit to permit the use of an off-site parking lot for an existing church and a variance
to allow a landscape setback adjacent to a residential zone boundary that is less than
required by the Zoning Code.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the
attached resolution, determining that this request is categorically exempt from further
environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Class 11,
Accessory Structures) and approving Conditional Use Permit No. 1525A and Variance
No. 2016-05082.
BACKGROUND: The 0.35-acre property is currently a vacant lot. The property is
located in the “C-G” Commercial zone and the General Plan designates the property for
Low-Medium Density Residential land uses. The surrounding land uses include single-
family residential to the west (across Nutwood Street), multi-family residential to the
north, the primary church use to the west, and a property with a vacant commercial
building to the south.
In 1975, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit No. 1525 to
permit a church with 238 parking spaces at 1853 West Ball Road. The church has
operated at this location for 40 years. In 2015, the church upgraded the interior facilities
and parking lot to comply with American Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements, which
resulted in a loss of nine parking spaces; therefore, a total of 229 parking spaces are
currently provided on the site. There are no open code violations at this time.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 1525A AND VARIANCE. 2016-05082
January 23, 2017
Page 2 of 4
PROPOSAL: The applicant is requesting to amend a conditional use permit to permit the
expansion of a church parking lot onto an adjacent property with a variance to permit a reduced
landscape setback along the northern property line adjacent to an apartment complex. The
proposed location of the expanded church parking lot is located to the northwest of the existing
church facility. The proposed parking lot would result in 39 additional parking spaces to
accommodate the church. A 15-foot wide landscaped setback is proposed along Nutwood Street,
as well as additional landscaping proposed throughout the parking lot, as required by the Zoning
Code. Additionally, the applicant proposes to remove 80 linear feet of an existing block wall
along the eastern property line of the subject property, and remove three existing parking spaces
located on the church property, in order to create a seamless entry point from the expanded
parking lot to the existing church parking lot.
The applicant also proposes to reconstruct the existing driveway along Nutwood Street in order to
better align the driveway with the drive aisle and to bring the driveway approach into compliance
with the City of Anaheim Local Street Driveway Approach Standard. A manual accordion gate is
proposed at the Nutwood Street driveway entrance.
FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS:
Conditional Use Permit: Before the Planning Commission may approve a conditional use permit,
it must make a finding of fact that the evidence presented shows that all of the following
conditions exist:
1) That the proposed use is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized
by this code;
2) That the proposed use will not adversely affect the adjoining land uses, or the growth
and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located;
3) That the size and shape of the site proposed for the use is adequate to allow the full
development of the proposed use, in a manner not detrimental to either the particular
area or health and safety;
4) That the traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue burden upon
the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area; and
5) That the granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed, if any,
will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim.
The Zoning Code requires approval of a conditional use permit to amend the original approval
for CUP 1525 when the modifications include significant changes to the site plan. The purpose
of the conditional use permit amendment is to ensure compatibility with the surrounding uses.
The proposed expansion to the existing parking lot will not intensify the existing church facility,
nor will it adversely affect the adjoining land uses. The church was approved in 1975 with 238
parking spaces. Current code requires 256 parking spaces for the church; therefore, the addition
of the 39 parking spaces (for a total of 268 spaces) would bring the parking into compliance with
Code. Additionally, there have been no reported code enforcement complaints regarding parking
concerns around the church. Staff believes that the proposed use is compatible with the
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 1525A AND VARIANCE. 2016-05082
January 23, 2017
Page 3 of 4
residential and commercial uses in the surrounding area. The traffic generated by this use will
not exceed the anticipated volumes of traffic on the surrounding street because no expansion to
the church operations are being proposed.
Landscape Setback Variance: Before the Planning Commission may approve the landscape
setback variance, it must make a finding of fact that the evidence presented shows that all of the
following conditions exist:
1. That there are special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape,
topography, location or surroundings, which do not apply to other property under
identical zoning classification in the vicinity;
2. That, because of special circumstances shown in subsection .0201, strict application of
the Zoning Code deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by other property under
identical zoning classification in the vicinity.
The applicant is requesting a variance to permit the development of the property without a
landscape setback along the northern property line separating the church parking lot from a
residential zone boundary. The Zoning Code states that properties located within the C-G zone
that abut any residential zone boundary must provide a minimum 10-foot wide landscaped
setback between the zones. However, C-G zoned properties abutting any alley do not require a
setback. In this instance, the subject property abuts the “RM-4” (Multiple-Family Residential)
zone; however, this property is developed with an approximately 24-foot wide private driveway
and carports along the boundary line that abuts the church parking lot. Additionally, there is an
existing 6-foot tall block wall separating the two properties. The intent of the 10-foot landscape
setback is to reduce the impact of an institutional use on the residential property; however,
because the subject property would be used as a parking lot, and an existing block wall and
private driveway and carports exist, staff believes that the proposed project would not negatively
impact the adjacent residential uses.
A variance recognizes that there may be individual properties that, because of size, irregular
shape, or unusual topography, cannot be reasonably developed if all the development standards
for the zone are strictly applied. The small size of the lot, as compared to all other C-G zoned
properties in the vicinity, makes it difficult to meet all of the development standards (including
the loss of 12 parking spaces along the northern property line if the 10-foot wide planter were
provided). For example, the subject property has a width of 102 feet, a depth of 150 feet, and a
lot area of 0.35 acres, which makes the subject property smaller and narrower than the other lots
in the immediate vicinity, which restricts the development opportunities on the property. For
comparison purposes, the C-G zoned lot to the south has width of 125 feet, a depth of 150 feet,
and a lot area of 0.43 acres. The subject property also abuts a private driveway and carports and
the closest apartment buildings are located approximately 46 feet from the property line;
therefore, the reduced setback being proposed would not have an adverse affect on this
residential use. The applicant is proposing to fully landscape the parking lot and front landscape
setback which would provide significantly more landscaping than what exists on the site
currently.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 1525A AND VARIANCE. 2016-05082
January 23, 2017
Page 4 of 4
Environmental Impact Analysis: Staff recommends the Planning Commission find that the
effects of the proposed project are typical of those generated within that class of projects (i.e.,
Class 11 – Accessory Structures) which consist of construction, or placement of minor structures
accessory to (appurtenant to) existing commercial, industrial, or institutional facilities, 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.
CONCLUSION: The proposed parking lot is compatible with the surrounding residential and
commercial uses because the church does not propose to change or intensify the use of the
existing church facility. Therefore, staff believes the expansion of the existing parking lot is a
suitable land use for this location. In addition, the small size of the lot, as compared to all other
C-G zoned properties in the vicinity, makes it difficult to meet all of the development standards in
this zone; therefore, staff supports the request for a reduced landscaped setback. Staff
recommends approval of the project, subject to the recommended conditions of approval.

RESOLUTION NO. PC2017 -***
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 1525A
AND VARIANCE NO. 2016-05082 AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS
IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2016-00057)
(1853 WEST BALL ROAD AND 944 SOUTH NUTWOOD STREET)
WHEREAS, by the adoption of its Resolution No. PC75-66 on March 31, 1975, and
subject to certain conditions of approval (herein referred to as the “Original Conditions of
Approval”), the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (the "Planning Commission")
approved Conditional Use Permit 1525 (the “Original CUP”), which permitted the construction
of a church facility on that certain real property located at 1853 West Ball Road in the City of
Anaheim (the "Church Parcel"). The Church Parcel and the “Adjacent Parking Parcel” (as
defined below) are generally depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated
herein by this reference; and
WHEREAS, Conditional Use Permit No. 1525A is proposed in conjunction with
proposed Variance No. 2016-05082 to permit an off-site parking lot with a reduced landscaped
setback on that certain real property located adjacent to the Church Parcel and commonly known
as 944 South Nutwood Street (hereafter referred to as the “Adjacent Parking Parcel”) to
accommodate additional parking for the church facility. Conditional Use Permit No. 1525A and
Variance No. 2016-05082 shall be referred to herein collectively as the “Proposed Project”; and
WHEREAS, the Church Parcel is approximately 2.5 acres in size and is currently
occupied with a church facility. The Adjacent Parking Parcel is approximately 0.35 acres in size
and is currently vacant. Both parcels are located in the “C-G” General Commercial Zone and are
subject to the zoning and development standards of Chapter 18.08 (Commercial Zones) of the
Anaheim Municipal Code (the “Code”). The Anaheim General Plan designates both parcels for
Residential Low-Medium Density land uses; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing on January 23, 2017 at
5:00 p.m. at the Civic Center in the City of Anaheim, 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. 1525A and Variance No. 2016-05082 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 Section 15000 of 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
- 2 - PC2017 -***
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 11 –
Accessory Structures) which consist of the construction, or placement of minor structures
accessory to existing commercial, industrial, or institutional facilities. Section 15311 of the
CEQA Guidelines provides examples of projects that qualify for an exemption from the
provisions of CEQA, one of which being small parking lots. Since the Proposed Project consists
of the expansion of the existing parking lot to an adjacent off-site vacant property, 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. 1525A, does find and
determine the following:
1) That the proposed use is properly one for which a conditional use permit is
authorized by this code as a substantive change to the approved site plan is proposed is permitted
under Section 18.60.190 (Amendment of Permit Approval) of Chapter 18.60 (Procedures) of the
Code.
2) That the proposed use will not adversely affect the adjoining land uses, or the
growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located in that the new parking
lot expansion will be accessory to an existing church facility and the existing 6 foot block wall
along the northern property will remain; therefore, no visual change is proposed. The church
does not propose to expand or modify the current church operations; therefore, no impact to the
surrounding area will occur as a result of the expansion of the existing church parking lot.
3) That the size and shape of the site proposed for the use is adequate to allow the
full development of the proposed use, in a manner not detrimental to either the particular area or
health and safety in that the size and shape of the site proposed for the use is adequate to allow
the full development of the proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular are, in that
the design proposed is adequate to ensure a seamless extension of the existing parking lot on the
adjacent property and therefore it is not anticipated to adversely affect development of the area.
4) That the traffic generated by the proposed 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
street; and
5) That the granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed, if
any, will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim in that
that the church does not propose to increase the intensity of the existing use, but rather provide
additional parking to meet the existing demand.
- 3 - PC2017 -***
WHEREAS, based upon the request letter submitted by the applicant and observations
made by staff, the Planning Commission does further find and determine that the request for
Variance No. 2016-05082 for reduced landscape setbacks should be approved for the following
reasons:
SECTION NO. 18.08.060.010.0101 Minimum landscaped setback.
(10 feet required; 0 feet proposed)
1. That there are special circumstances applicable to the Property, including size,
shape, location and surroundings, which do not apply to other property under the identical zoning
classification in the vicinity of the Proposed Project. The subject property has a width of 102
feet, a depth of 150 feet, and a lot area of 0.35 acres, which makes the subject property narrower
and smaller than the other C-G zoned lots in the immediate vicinity, which restricts development
opportunities on the property. In addition, the applicant proposes to fully landscape the parking
lot and front landscape setback which would provide significantly more landscaping than what
exists on the site currently.
2. That, because of these special circumstances, strict application of the Zoning
Code deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by other property under the identical zoning
classification in the vicinity because this lot size is narrower and smaller than other surrounding
C-G zoned properties in the vicinity. This makes it difficult to meet all of the development
standards while providing adequate setbacks for the parking lot expansion. Compliance with the
required minimum landscape setback along the northern property line would significantly reduce
the number of potential parking spaces added. As proposed, the project would include new a
parking lot and landscape planters with clinging vines along the existing 6-foot high block wall
along the northern and southern property lines.
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 the Planning Commission does hereby
approve Conditional Use Permit No. 1525A and Variance No. 2016-05082 contingent upon and
subject to the conditions of approval set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated
herein by this reference (the “Revised Conditions of Approval”); and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that, effective upon the effective date of this Resolution
and the effective date of the resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 1525A and
Variance No. 2016-05082, now pending, the Revised Conditions of Approval hereby amend the
Original Conditions of Approval in their entirety. All references to the conditions of approval
for the Original CUP, as amended by Conditional Use Permit No. 1525A, shall be to the Revised
Conditions of Approval attached to this Resolution as Exhibit B, which shall control and govern
the Original CUP, as amended by Conditional Use Permit No. 1525A; and
- 4 - PC2017 -***
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Revised Conditions of Approval, as they relate to
the uses permitted under the Original CUP, as amended by Conditional Use Permit No. 1525A,
are hereby found to be a necessary prerequisite to the proposed use of the Church Parcel and the
Adjacent Parking Parcel 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
associated with Conditional Use Permit No. 1525A and Variance No. 2016-05082 may be
granted in accordance with Section 18.60.170 of the Code. Timing for compliance with
conditions of approval associated with Conditional Use Permit No. 1525A and Variance No.
2016-05082 may be amended by the Planning Director upon a showing of good cause provided

LETTER OF REQUEST To Whom It May Concern. The property located at 944 S. Nutwood St. was purchased by Living Stream Ministry to convert a demolished neighborhood food mart in a state of gross disrepair into an area for additional parking associated with the assembly uses at 1853 W. Ball Road. No building structures are planned for the site and all parking and landscaping regulations have been addressed. The effective utilization of the space is contingent upon obtaining a variance to the residential setback requirement between the C-G and the adjacent residentially zoned site. The lot will be accessible from both Nutwood St. and from a rear entrance passageway to the existing lot at 1853 W. Ball Road. The proposed gate on the Nutwood entrance will be closed except during regularly scheduled assembly uses. John Pester, Agent

PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT
DATE: JANUARY 23, 2017
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2016-05891
LOCATION: 2922 East Belvedere Road (Grandma’s House of Hope)
APPLICANT/PROPERTY OWNER: The applicant and agent is Je’net Kreitner
and the property owners are Paul and Kathleen Kellehar.
REQUEST: The applicant is requesting approval to permit and retain a transitional
housing facility within an existing single family home.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt
the attached resolution, determining that this request is categorically exempt from
further environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Class
1, Existing Facilities) and approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05891.
BACKGROUND: This 0.19-acre property is located in the “RS-2” Single-Family
Residential zone and is designated for Low Density Residential land uses by the
General Plan. The property is currently developed with a two story single-family
residence and attached garage. Surrounding land uses include single family
residential uses on all four sides.
The facility, operated by a non-profit organization known as Grandma’s House of
Hope, was established at this location in July of 2016. The applicant submitted a
request for a conditional use permit in October of 2016. The applicant operates two
similar facilities in Anaheim and two facilities in Garden Grove.
PROPOSAL: The applicant requests approval of a conditional use permit to permit
and retain an existing transitional housing facility for up to 16 residents. The facility
is staffed by one house manager that is on-site approximately 40 hours per week and
case managers/counselors divide their time among several facilities. The project site
is developed with a two story, single family residence with six bedrooms, three
bathrooms, a kitchen, living room, dining room, two car attached garage, and patio.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2016-05891
January 23, 2017
Page 2 of 4
According to the applicant, the transitional housing facility is intended to provide a safe and
stable environment for older women, who, due to illness, loss of a supporting spouse, or other
circumstances, have not been able to obtain permanent housing and are vulnerable to
experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless. Men are not accommodated at this
facility. Residents who live at the facility are provided with various resources including group
and individual counseling sessions, health service referrals, workforce development programs and
wardrobe assistance. The goal of providing these services is to help residents develop the skills
needed to establish and maintain healthy relationships, find employment and live independently.
The typical length of stay for clients will vary, but the average anticipated stay is six to twelve
months.
The facility is staffed by a house manager who is on-site approximately forty hours per week and
case managers and counselors who divide their time between this and the operator’s other
facilities. Staff is on-site seven days a week from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. In addition to the house
manager, there may be up to two case managers visiting the house at the same time. Nighttime
supervision is provided by 1-2 clients/residents who have completed a leadership program and
have been identified by staff as having the maturity, skills and trustworthiness to effectively
supervise the facility during the evening hours. Professional staff are on-call 24 hours a day and
available to assist the house leaders when needed.
FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS:
Conditional Use Permit: Before the Planning Commission may approve a conditional use permit,
it must make a finding of fact that the evidence presented shows that all of the following
conditions exist:
1) That the proposed use is properly one for which a conditional use permit is
authorized by this code;
2) That the proposed use will not adversely affect the adjoining land uses, or the
growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located;
3) That the size and shape of the site proposed for the use is adequate to allow
the full development of the proposed use, in a manner not detrimental to
either the particular area or health and safety;
4) That the traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue
burden upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the
traffic in the area; and
5) That the granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed,
if any, will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the
City of Anaheim.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2016-05891
January 23, 2017
Page 3 of 4
Transitional housing facilities are allowed in the RS-2 zone subject to approval of a conditional
use permit to ensure compatibility with the surrounding area. This facility does not administer
medications but does provide food, shelter, job search assistance and computer training for
women who may be homeless or those who need refuge from physical threats. In addition to this
facility, this organization also has a shelter on Lemon Street which has been operating since 2011
and a shelter on North Street which has been operating since 2015.
Code requires four parking spaces (two located within the garage and two in tandem to the garage)
for single family homes with six bedrooms or less. Unlike similar facilities operated by this
organization, the applicant does not propose to use the garage space for storage; therefore, the
garage spaces would be available for use as parking. The applicant has indicated that the provided
parking spaces would be used by the on-site manager, visitation by counselors, and others
associated with the operation of the facility. A condition of approval is included in the draft
resolution which requires residents and employees to maintain no more than the allotted four parking
spaces for personal vehicles on the premises, or while residing at the facility. No parking problems
have been reported to Code Enforcement at any of the three locations in the City.
Based on the information provided by the applicant and the programs proposed by the applicant,
staff believes that the transitional housing facility can operate without creating an undue burden
on the surrounding neighborhood. Staff has included the following conditions of approval in the
draft resolution to ensure the transitional housing facility operates in a manner that is not
detrimental to the surrounding area:
This transitional housing facility shall be limited to a maximum of 16 residents. The
facility shall not provide on-site medical services but shall be permitted to provide both
group and individual counseling.
Residents and employees shall not be permitted to maintain more than the allotted four
parking spaces for personal vehicles on the premises or while residing at the facility.
No signs shall be visible from the public right-of-way identifying this use as a transitional
housing facility.
The applicant shall provide an on-site manager or appointed responsible party at all
times. This person shall be responsible for responding to any concerns regarding the
operations of the facility.
Community Input (the following narrative related to public outreach was provided by the
applicant): the applicant hosted one outreach meeting on June 25, 2016 to inform neighbors of the
application for the transitional housing facility. On June 2, several Grandmas’ House of Hope
employees knocked on doors within four blocks of the subject property to invite neighbors to the
Open House. A flier was left at the door or in the mailbox if no one was home. The applicant
reported that they received generally positive feedback from those neighbors that were home, but
received some resistance from two neighbors located approximately a block away from the subject
property. On June 18, the Executive Director walked door-to-door to all homes within four blocks
of the subject property to remind neighbors of the Open House event, as well as answer questions
regarding the program. She reported that she received positive feedback and about 1 of every 4
homes answered their doors. The day of the open house six neighbors attended and the applicant
reported that all interactions were supportive of the program.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2016-05891
January 23, 2017

Environmental Impact Analysis: Staff recommends the Planning Commission find 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.
CONCLUSION: The proposed project would provide a transitional housing environment for
senior women while they search for employment and training for a transitional period. Based upon
staff’s research of the operational history of other transitional housing facilities, and the applicant’s
proposal and letter of operation, staff recommends approval of this request to establish a
transitional housing facility for up to 16 residents.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING AND ADOPTING
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2016-05891 AND MAKING
CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2016-00111)
(2922 EAST BELVEDERE ROAD)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (the "Planning
Commission") did receive a verified petition for Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05891 to permit
and retain a transitional housing facility within an existing single family home for that real property
located at 2922 East Belvedere Road 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, approximately 0.19 acre in size and is currently developed
with a single-family family home with an attached two-car garage. The Property is located within the
"R-L" Residential-Low Density land use designation of the Anaheim General Plan and in the "RS-2"
Single Family Residential Zone and is subject to the zoning and development standards contained in
Chapter 18.04 (Single-Family Residential 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 January 23, 2017 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.
2016-05891, 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
-2- PC2017-***
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 Conditional Use Permit No. 2016- 05891, does find and determine the
following:
1. The request for a conditional use permit for a transitional housing facility is an
allowable use authorized within the "RS-2" Single Family Residential zone, subject to a conditional
use permit; and
2. The proposed establishment of a transitional housing facility complies with all of the
provisions of the "RS-2" Single Family Residential zone and, under the conditions imposed, would
not adversely affect the adjoining land uses and the growth and development of the area in which it
is located because the services provided are for the residents only and the facility will operate
seamlessly within the residential living environment; and
3. The size and shape of the site for the transitional housing facility is adequate to allow
the full development of the proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area or to the
health and safety.
4. The traffic generated by the Proposed Project will not impose an undue burden upon the
streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area in that the minimum
number of required parking spaces will be provided on-site and the use is consistent with the Single
Family Residential zone. Therefore, there are no anticipated burdens on streets and highways; and
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 since the proposed use is
conditionally permitted and with the conditions imposed, the proposed transitional housing use will
be compatible with surrounding single family residential uses.
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. 2016-05891, 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. 2016-05891 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
-3- PC2017-***
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 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
January 23, 2017. 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.

GHH Project Description/Letter of Justification
Grandma's House of Hope, a 501.3(c) non-profit corporation, is requesting approval of a
Conditional Use Permit to operate a Transitional Living Facility at a single family home it
recently leased at 2922 East Belvedere Road. The project site is developed with a single-
family residence with six bedrooms, three bathrooms, kitchen, living room, dining room
and patio.
The facility would provide a safe and stable environment for older women, who, due to
illness, loss of a supporting spouse or other circumstance, have not been able to obtain
permanent housing. Clients would be provided with case management, group and indi-
vidual counseling, health service referrals, access to the organizations workforce devel-
opment program and wardrobe assistance. The applicant is requesting a maximum of
16 residents to live at this facility at one time.
The typical stay for clients of the facility will vary but the average anticipated stay
would be 6-12 months, with the goal of developing the skills needed to establish and
maintain healthy relationships, find employment and/or appropriate support, and live
independently.
The facility is staffed by one House Manager who is on-site approximately forty hours
per week and case managers and counselors who divide their time between several fa-
cilities. Staff are on-site seven days a week generally from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, but
these times can vary in response to early morning or evening classes and meetings.
Nighttime supervision is provided by 1-2 client/residents who have completed a leader-
ship program and have been identified by staff as having the maturity, skills and trust-
worthiness to effectively supervise the facility. Professional staff are on-calI and availa-
ble to assist the house leaders when needed. In addition to the house manager, there
are case managers who visit the house throughout the week to assist clients with coor-
dination of medical care, obtaining financial assistance and providing individual and
group counseling. In addition to the House Manager, there may be up to two case man-
agers visiting the house at the same time.
The Municipal Code does not contain parking standards for Transitional Living Facilities.
Section 18.42.040 Parking Requirements, Dwellings, Single Family Detached, requires
four parking spaces for a residence with six or fewer bedrooms. The existing residence
has six bedrooms and therefore requires four parking spaces. Unlike other facilities op-
erated by Grandma’s House of Hope, the garage space at this location will be main-
tained clear of storage and used to park two cars. Two more cars may be parked in the
driveway, meeting both the needs of the employees and the code requirements.
Grandma’s House of Hope has a proven track record of operating transitional housing

volunteers were cleaning and painting the house, neighbors came to ask about our pro-
gram and how we would be using the house. In response we held an open house that
was attended by residents on our block and had positive feedback from many of our
neighbors, including our immediately adjacent neighbors.

Subject: 2922 Belvedere- Stop This!!!
We would like to object to any "transitional living facility" in our neighborhood.
1. Transitional facilities are not very successful. Therefore we will get repeats!!
2. These transitional people will have free reign to canvas our neighborhood. Basically, scoping
out who is home when; what is there to steal... safety issues for our neighborhood!!
3. The "home" is too close to Rio Vista Park and school. Safety issues for our kids, but also for
the many women walking in the neighborhood. Surprisingly, we have a lot of women and
couples walking at all hours of the day and night for exercise.
4. Our neighborhood has already been "sacrificed" for the transient homeless shelter. Why
should we have to be targeted for another crime & safety concern?
5. This will lower our property values as it brings more criminals into the area.
6. The riverbed is already being sacrificed by the uncontrolled homeless population. Do we have
to have more people who don't belong & not paying property taxes (they have no stake in the
neighborhood).
So we already will have transients to the north; homeless to the south & east; homeless
wandering the neighborhood; and honestly we don't want a criminal influence in the center. We
have enough issues without adding one more.
As our councilman, please, don't sacrifice our neighborhood for unwelcome criminal influences.
We have enough problems!!!
You are dooming us to lower property values; increase criminal activity; risking our safety;
risking the safety of our kids...
Stop this madness!!
Thanks,

“Conditional Use Permit” # 2016‐05891(DEV2016‐00111) Charles Darquea/ Direct Neighbor
Dear Ms. Lindsey Ortega, Mr. Steven Saessel, and The City of Anaheim Commission,
I’m writing to address the negative impact 2922 E. Belvedere transitional housing “non‐profit” project known
“Grandma’s House of Hope” has implemented on our quiet neighborhood for the safety of our Anaheim residential
dwellings.
Currently, this transitional shelter has been operating well over a year without a “Conditional Use Permit”
unknown to all who reside within its proximity. This haven has proven its failure to adhere to the requested
guidelines within the working permit demonstrating (3) written police reports and (4) service calls, demonstrating
its flavor of what our neighborhood must endure for the future.
After being broadsided yesterday with a phone call from our neighbors, informing us of a meeting set by the City of
Anaheim for Monday evening from the planning & building commission, made this letter mandatory for the
importance which needs to be addressed, expressing our disbelief of how decisions were made on our behalf
regarding the safety and or unknowns for our neighborhood.
I’m truly grateful that this hearing was brought to my attention, since there was no notification sent to our
residence in San Jose, Calif. Our residence 2928 E. Belvedere is directly affected by Kathleen and James Keller. The
Keller’s leased their home to this shelter known as “Grandma’s House of Hope.” This decision was created with the
Anaheim Planning Commission, disregarding the serious repercussions and concern. A decision made for us which
will impact our neighborhood and surrounding homes for years to come. This decision was implemented without
our knowledge and within the last year has exposed our lives to police activity from this “Half Way House” or
“Homeless Shelter for in/out Rehabilitation”.
We currently have two young children living in our home in Anaheim with their mother who is deeply concerned
how the City of Anaheim could have placed this disruption on our street. The idea of placing home owners in
harm’s way by exposing the street with this “environmental impact” throughout this last year while applying for
their “Conditional Use Permit” # 2016‐05891(DEV2016‐00111), demonstrates the “Grandma’s House of Hope” is
false and deceptive , especially since its highly impossible in nature for grandmothers to behave and or burden a
neighborhood with such proven negative impacts on our private, residential dwellings. The “Rebel House” sounds
more applicable for this facility, by the past years deep rooted source of problems receiving (3) written police
reports and (4) service calls. The failure to secure its own inhabitants, let alone the community which surrounds
this house, further demonstrates our concerns which yet has not been discussed within the city planning
commission and seems to be placing these behavioral patterns as simple afterthoughts.
The fact remains, we are currently faced with a safety issue on our streets. This last year our residential dwellings
have experienced increase in theft; automobile break‐ins; (2) assaults at the park and numerous petty theft
incidences.

Part 2) “Conditional Use Permit” # 2016‐05891(DEV2016‐00111)/ Reference‐ Darquea ‐Neighbor Resident
Most importantly, we still have no secured answers to our questions remaining from the City of Anaheim nor from
the Planning Commission as to:
1)Who is supervising the vetting from Jenett Kreitener / Non‐Profit Organizer of “Grandma’s House of Hope”? The
city of Anaheim nor the Planning Commission is involved with this decision!
2)The responsibility for inconsistency of background checks on potential inhabitants due to the (6) month turn
around?
3)Who is monitoring the housing safety of re‐peat offenders and former parolees without a parole officer on site?
4)Who is monitoring the housing safety of narcotic & opioid users, and crack dependencies?
5)Who is monitoring the housing safety of incarcerated individuals?
6)Who is monitoring the continuous violent disruptions which have been present in the past?
7) Who is inspecting the property for non‐permitted alterations to the interior?
As property owners of 2928 E. Belvedere, we purchased this house for our mother & father‐ in‐ law after the loss
of their own home. Sixteen years of quiet, bedroom community living; children playing freely on our streets and
minimal traffic is now being subjected from the Keller’s with a direct, negative impact on our lives.
Lastly., we should have been consulted to the potential impact this type of business activity will infiltrate and
implement on all of us as existing neighbors/neighborhood: parks and schools. Our homes will be financially
affected by 17‐19% loss in value due to the repercussions from the comings and goings of unknown transients,
vehicles and temporary tenants who are jeopardizing our safety and directly causing great duress since having to
disclose in all real‐estate agreements that there is a halfway house in our neighborhood.
Sixteen years ago, it was mandatory for us to provide a safe and secure neighborhood for us to retire in. The City of
Anaheim had the most income revenue from all cities we looked at due to Disney Land; Angel Stadium; Convention
Center and Concert Arenas just to name a few. This was our dream to retire in Anaheim and raise foster children in
this home since not being blessed with children of our own. Due to this impact we are faced with today, we will be
denied this dream to raise children in this house. The neighborhood for fostering children will be in question for
their safety and wellbeing.
Considering our concerns mentioned above, this permit in question has threatened our quality of life and our loss
for the ability to qualify as foster parents.
Please reconsider this permit and disqualify the property as a location for this nonprofit Sober House.
Kind Regards,
Patricia and Charles Darquea

PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT
DATE: JANUARY 23, 2017
SUBJECT: RECLASSIFICATION NO. 2016-00299
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2016-05866 AND
TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 2016-192
LOCATION: 203 North Euclid Street
APPLICANT/PROPERTY OWNER: The agent is Glenn Rinier, representing
the applicant, Tahir Salim of OC Development. The property owner is Lorico LLC.
REQUEST: The applicant requests approval of the following:
1) A Reclassification, or rezoning, of a portion of the subject property from the
C-G (Commercial General) zone to the I (Industrial) zone;
2) A Conditional Use Permit to construct a new car wash facility; and
3) A Tentative Parcel Map to consolidate six parcels into one lot.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission
approve the attached resolutions, determining that this request is categorically
exempt from further environmental review under the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) under Class 3 (New Construction) of the State CEQA
Guidelines, and approving Reclassification No. 2016-00299, Conditional Use
Permit No. 2016-05866 and Tentative Parcel Map No. 2016-192.
BACKGROUND: The approximately 0.9-acre vacant site is located at the
northwest corner of Euclid Street and Lincoln Avenue with street frontages along
Euclid Street, Lincoln Avenue and Euclid Way. The project site currently has an
Industrial General Plan land use designation and two zoning designations. The
north portion of the site is located in the “I” (Industrial) zone while the southern
portion of the site is in the “C-G” (General Commercial) zone. Surrounding land
uses include industrial uses to the west and north (across Euclid Way), a Target
retail store to the south (across Lincoln Avenue), and an automotive repair facility
and retail to the east (across Euclid Street).

TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 2016-192

Page 2 of 6
PROPOSAL: The applicant requests the reclassification of the southerly two parcels of the six
lot project site from the C-G to the I zone in order to have the entire project site within the
Industrial zoning designation. The underlying General Plan land use designation is Industrial.
The project also involves the consolidation of six parcels into one for the purpose of constructing
a new self-service express car wash facility. The consolidation of the lots would occur through
the approval of a tentative parcel map and eventual recordation of a Parcel Map.
The proposed carwash facility consists of a 2,604 square foot car wash building and covered
parking areas for the vacuuming and drying of vehicles. Employees would be on-site during
operating hours but would not perform any washing, drying or detailing services. The project
would provide a total of 20 on-site parking spaces. Eighteen of the 20 required parking stalls
would also serve as vacuum/drying stalls for customers. In order to count the vacuum equipped
stalls as parking spaces, staff has included a condition of approval that these stalls not be limited
to customers vacuuming their cars. The proposed number of spaces complies with the Zoning
Code requirements. Attachment 1 provides a development summary demonstrating the project’s
compliance with Zoning Code requirements.

TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 2016-192
January 23, 2017
Page 3 of 6
The proposed carwash facility would comply with all Industrial development standards specified
in the Anaheim Zoning Code including building height, building and landscape setbacks, floor
area ratio and parking. An on-site queuing aisle with two pay station pedestals would provide
stacking for up to 14 vehicles. A total of 18 self-serve vacuum stations are also proposed with
canopy structures that would accommodate the vacuum equipment and provide shade. These
structures would be constructed of metal with a fabric canopy. The car wash facility would be
entirely enclosed with all mechanical equipment (wash machinery and blower) located within the
new building. The building’s contemporary architectural design includes plaster finishes,
standing seam metal roofing and metal cornice accents. The building is oriented with openings
on the north and south facing Lincoln Avenue and Euclid Way.
The proposed hours of operation are from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. seven days a week. Up to three
employees per shift are proposed, depending on demand. A detailed description of the proposed
hours and number of employees is provided in the applicant’s Letter of Operation (Attachment
5). All vehicular access is taken from Euclid Way (a local industrial street) via two driveways,
one of which (south driveway) would be restricted to inbound vehicles only. There is no
vehicular access to the site provided from either Euclid Street or Lincoln Avenue.
ANALYSIS: Following is staff’s analysis and recommendation for each requested action:
Reclassification: A reclassification or rezoning of the southern two parcels of the project site to
the “I” Industrial zone is being requested in order to develop the entire site with a consistent
zoning designation. The proposed reclassification would bring the entire site into conformance
with the property’s Industrial General Plan land use designation.

TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 2016-192

EXISTING ZONING PROPOSED ZONING
As described below, the proposed reclassification supports several General Plan policies
intended to provide appropriate land uses along major corridors; therefore, staff recommends
approval of the reclassification request. The Land Use Element of the General Plan provides the
following goals which would be supported by the development of this project:
Goal 3.1: Pursue land uses along major corridors that enhance the City’s image and
stimulate appropriate development at strategic locations.
Goal 4.1: Promote development that integrates with and minimizes impacts to
surrounding land uses.
Goal 6.1: Enhance the quality of life and economic vitality in Anaheim through strategic
infill development and revitalization of existing development.
Conditional Use Permit: Automotive washing facilities are permitted subject to the approval of a
conditional use permit in the Industrial zone. The purpose of the conditional use permit is to
ensure proper design and function of the car wash facility, and also ensure that the vehicular
circulation and car wash operations do not impact surrounding properties. Staff carefully
considered the potential impacts of the proposed car wash improvements on surrounding
properties, including circulation, noise, vehicle stacking and parking.
There are no residential uses within 500 feet of the project site and no noise impacts resulting
from the car wash or vacuum equipment are anticipated. The site is located on the corner of two
major arterial highways as well as a local street with existing industrial uses across Euclid Way.
The car wash building is oriented with both openings facing streets to minimize any potential
noise impacts to surrounding properties.

The facility would provide a single stacking lane which would open into two lanes as customers
approach the pay stations for a total stacking capacity of 14 vehicles. The applicant indicates that
the proposed stacking lanes are adequate for the proposed use based on the wash cycle time of
the equipment as described in the applicant’s Letter of Operation (Attachment 5). Staff has
reviewed the proposed stacking lane configuration and does not anticipate any circulation issues
with the proposed operation. Staff analyzed the proposed site plan and concluded that adequate
circulation would be provided and that the layout would not negatively impact surrounding
properties or the existing street circulation pattern.
The proposed project complies with all development standards of the Industrial zone and would
improve the overall appearance of the property by providing a new commercial use at a highly
travelled intersection. Staff anticipates that the proposed project would have a positive
community impact as it will improve the appearance of the intersection and result in a significant
positive investment in the area. As such, staff recommends that the Planning Commission
approve the request for the new car wash facility.
Tentative Parcel Map: Before the Planning Commission may approve the tentative parcel map,
it must make a finding of fact that the evidence presented shows that all of the following
conditions exist:
1) That the proposed consolidation of the property, including its design and improvements,
is consistent with the General Plan of the City of Anaheim.
2) That the proposed consolidation of the property, as shown on Tentative Parcel Map No.
2016-192, including their design and improvements, is consistent with the zoning and
development standards of the proposed "I" Industrial Zone being proposed in conjunction
with Reclassification No. 2016-00299.
3) That the site is physically suitable for the type of development of the proposed project.
4) That the consolidation, as shown on Tentative Parcel Map No. 2016-192, is not likely to
cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat.
5) That the consolidation, as shown on Tentative Parcel Map No. 2016-192, or the type of
improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems.
6) That the consolidation, as shown on Tentative Parcel Map No. 2016-192, or the type of
improvements will not conflict with easements acquired by the public, at large, for access
through or use of property.
A tentative parcel map is required to consolidate the six existing lots into one lot. The proposed
consolidation would create one new lot that would meet the minimum lot requirements for
industrially-zoned properties. By consolidating the lots, the new car wash facility would comply
with all development standards in the Industrial zone including setbacks and parking. Therefore,
staff recommends approval of the proposed tentative parcel map.

TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 2016-192

Page 6 of 6
Environmental Impact Analysis: The project’s potential environmental impacts have been
evaluated and staff recommends that the Planning Commission determine that the development
qualifies for a Class 3 “New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures” exemption allowed
under California Environmental Quality Act which consist of the construction and location of
limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures. The proposed project will not cause a
significant effect on the environment and is, therefore, categorically exempt from the provisions
of CEQA.
CONCLUSION: The proposed project would represent a significant improvement in the
overall appearance, operation, and security of the site. The new automotive washing facility
would be compatible with the surrounding commercial and industrial uses. Therefore, staff
recommends approval of the reclassification, conditional use permit, and tentative parcel map
requests.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING RECLASSIFICATION NO. 2016-00299
AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2016-00025)
(203 NORTH EUCLID STREET)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (the "Planning
Commission") did receive a verified petition to rezone or reclassify that certain real property
located at 203 North Euclid 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") from the the “C-G” General Commercial Zone to the "I" Industrial
Zone, which reclassification is designated as "Reclassification No. 2016-00299" for the purpose
of allowing the applicant to construct an automotive washing facility (herein referred to as the
“Project”);
WHEREAS, the Property is approximately 0.57 acres in size and is located in the “C-G”
General Commercial Zone. The Property is designated on the Land Use Element of the General
Plan for "Industrial” uses; and
WHEREAS, Reclassification No. 2016-00299 is proposed in conjunction with
Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05866 and Tentative Parcel Map No. 2016-192, now pending,
which, together with the Project, shall be referred to herein collectively as the "Proposed
Project".
WHEREAS, Reclassification No. 2016-00299 proposes to apply the zoning and
development standards of the "I" Industrial 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, the Planning Commission also finds and determines that the effects of the
proposed construction of a new carwash facility are typical of those generated within that class
of projects (i.e., Class 3 – New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) which consists
of the construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures. Section
15303 of the CEQA Guidelines provides examples of projects that qualify for an exemption from
the provisions of CEQA, one of which being the construction of commercial buildings not
exceeding 10,000 square feet in floor area on sites zoned for such use if not involving the use of
significant amounts of hazardous substances where all necessary public services and facilities are
available and the surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive. The Proposed Project will
not cause a significant effect on the environment and is, therefore, categorically exempt from the
provisions of CEQA; and
- 2 - PC2017-***
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in
the City of Anaheim on January 23, 2017 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

the "I" Industrial Zone is consistent with the Property's Industrial land use designation in the
Land Use Element of the General Plan.
2. The proposed reclassification of the Property is necessary and/or desirable
for the orderly and proper development of the community and is compatible with the industial
and commercial uses located adjacent of the Property.
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. 2016-00299
to authorize an amendment to the Zoning Map of the Anaheim Municipal Code to rezone and

FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2016-00025)
(203 NORTH EUCLID STREET)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (the "Planning
Commission") did receive a verified petition for Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05866 for the
construction of an automotive washing facility (the "Proposed Project") for premises located at
203 North Euclid 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, Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05866 is proposed in conjunction with
Reclassification No. 2016-00299 and Tentative Parcel Map No. 2016-192, now pending, which,
together with the Project, shall be referred to herein collectively as the "Proposed Project".
WHEREAS, the Property is approximately 0.92-acres in size and is designated as
Industrial in the Anaheim General Plan Land Use Element. The Property, of which a portion is
currently zoned “C-G” General Commercial, will be reclassified under Reclassification No.
2016-00299, and entirely be within the "I” Industrial Zone. As such, the Property is subject to
the zoning and development standards described in Chapter 18.10 (Industrial Zone) of the Code;
and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in
the City of Anaheim on January 23, 2017 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 for and against the Proposed Project, including, specifically,
Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05866, 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 Section 15000 of 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
- 2 - PC2017-***
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission also finds and determines that the effects of the
proposed construction of a new carwash facility are typical of those generated within that class
of projects (i.e., Class 3 – New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) which consists
of the construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures. Section
15303 of the CEQA Guidelines provides examples of projects that qualify for an exemption from
the provisions of CEQA, one of which being the construction of commercial buildings not
exceeding 10,000 square feet in floor area on sites zoned for such use if not involving the use of
significant amounts of hazardous substances where all necessary public services and facilities are
available and the surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive. 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 to permit the Project on the Property does find and
determine the following facts:
1. The proposed request to construct an automotive washing facility is an allowable
use within the "I" Industrial Zone under subsection .010 of Section 18.10.030.010 (Uses) of
Chapter 18.10 (Industrial Zones) of the Code, subject to a conditional use permit and the zoning
and development standards of the "I" Industrial Zone; and
2. The proposed request to permit the construction of an automotive washing facility
would not adversely affect the adjoining land uses, or the growth and development of the area in
which it is proposed to be located because the Proposed Project will improve the aesthetics of the
improvements on the Property and the overall appearance of the project site, and would not have
an adverse effect on adjacent industrial and commercial uses; and
3. The size and shape of the site is adequate to allow the full development of the
Proposed Project in a manner not detrimental to either the particular area or health and safety
because the site can accommodate the parking, traffic flows, and circulation without creating
detrimental effects on adjacent properties; and
4. The traffic generated by the Proposed Project would 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 the Proposed Project will not exceed the anticipated volumes of traffic on the
surrounding streets and adequate parking will be provided to accommodate the future uses; and
5. The granting of the conditional use permit will not be detrimental to the health
and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim because the Proposed Project would
significantly improve the overall appearance of the project site, and is compatible with the
surrounding area, subject to compliance with the conditions contained herein; and
WHEREAS, the 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. The Planning Commission expressly
- 3 - PC2017-***
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 the Planning Commission does hereby
approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05866, 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 the Property 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 and Building Director upon a showing of good cause provided (i)
equivalent timing is established that satisfies the original intent and purpose of the condition(s),
(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 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
January 23, 2017. Said resolution is subject to the appeal provisions set forth in Chapter 18.60

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING
TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 2016-192
AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2016-00025)
(203 NORTH EUCLID STREET)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (the "Planning
Commission") did receive a verified petition to approve Tentative Parcel Map No. 2016-192 to
consolidate six parcels into one parcel for that certain real property located at 203 North Euclid
Street, in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, as generally depicted on
Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the "Property"); and
WHEREAS, the Property is approximately 0.92-acres in size and is designated as
Industrial in the Anaheim General Plan Land Use Element. The Property is currently vacant and
consists of six lots with separate "C-G" General Commercial and “I” Industrial zoning
designations. The Anaheim General Plan designates this Property for Industrial land uses; and
WHEREAS, Tentative Parcel Map No. 2016-192 is proposed in conjunction with
Reclassification No. 2016-00299 and Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05866, now pending,
which, together with the Project, shall be referred to herein collectively as the "Proposed
Project".
WHEREAS, on January 23, 2017, the Planning Commission did hold a public
hearing at the Civic Center in the City of Anaheim, 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 Anaheim Municipal Code (the "Code"), to hear and consider evidence for
and against said proposed Tentative Parcel Map 2016-192, 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 (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 "projects", as that term is defined in Section 15378 of the CEQA
Guidelines; and
WHEREAS, by the adoption of a separate resolution concurrently with but prior
in time to this Resolution, this Planning Commission has found and determined that the Proposed
Project will not cause a significant effect on the environment and is, therefore, categorically
exempt from the provisions of CEQA; and
- 2 - PC2017-***
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 to consolidation of lots, does find and
determine the following facts:
1. The proposed consolidation, including its design and improvements, and
with the conditions imposed herein is consistent with the Industrial land use designation in the
Anaheim General Plan and the development standards contained in the "I" Industrial Zone in that
the proposed parcel map will consolidate six lots into one lot for the purpose of constructing a
new car wash facility. The proposed consolidation is consistent with the proposed zoning and
the existing General Plan land use designation.
2. The site is physically suitable for the type and size of the proposed
development in that this flat lot is currently undeveloped and is of adequate size to be developed
in accordance with the I zone development standards.
3. The lot consolidation, with the conditions imposed, is not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their
habitat because no sensitive environmental habitat has been identified on the site in that no
environmental impacts are anticipated as part of the future development of a carwash facility on
this undeveloped property.
4. The lot consolidation, or the type of improvements is not likely to cause
serious public health problems, since any new structures and associated site improvements will
be constructed on the property in compliance with the conditions imposed and other related Code
requirements in that the future development of a carwash facility will be subject to all City code
requirements for demolition and construction.
5. The lot consolidation or the type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the
proposed project site in that the parcel map is conditioned to be submitted for review and
approval to the City of Anaheim and the Orange County Surveyor and then shall be recorded in
the Office of the Orange County Recorder prior to issuance of building permits.
WHEREAS, the 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. The Planning Commission expressly
declares that it considered all evidence presented and reached these findings after due
consideration of all evidence presented to it.
- 3 - PC2017-***
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does
hereby approve Tentative Parcel Map No. 2016-192, subject to and contingent upon (1) the
adoption by the City Council of an ordinance reclassifying the Property within the "I" Industrial
Zone in accordance with Reclassification No. 2016-00299, (2) the conditions of approval
described 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 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(s), (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.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that approval of this application constitutes
approval of the proposed request only to the extent that it complies with the Anaheim Municipal
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 January 23, 2017. 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.

Letter of Request
I.Location -Wave Car Wash, an express car wash is located at 203 N Euclid St. in the City of
Anaheim, CA in the county of Orange. Vacant land in La/Orange County area is at a
premium due to the fact that the area is densely populated with an increasing population
and is highly developed. This adds to the value of the business and causes a “Barrier to
Entry” for new car wash businesses.
II.Management/Operations – Business will be operated by a General Manager and 2 Shift
Managers. The business will be open from 8AM – 8PM 7 Days a week. There will be 3
employees/shift who will be part time and a General Manager who will be there during peak
hours. Slower hours will have fewer employees. There will be a total of 16-22 people
employed at this location.
III.Demographics – Business is located on N Euclid Ave in Anaheim. One of the busiest arteries
of the city. There are approximately 70,000 cars a day on Euclid and Lincoln combined. The
Location provides easy Egress and Ingress with traffic light at intersection.
IV.Median household income of the area is $80,000/year making this an ideal area for an
Express Car Wash.
V.Prices –Wave Car Wash will offer different wash levels for $6, $9 & $12 with added
upgraded services available a la carte ranging from $1 - $5. Details on upgrades are available
in the pro forma. Monthly service plans as well as fleet program will also be offered. All
washes will include spot free rinse and free use of vacuums for customers. This will greatly
reduce employee labor. Ticket average will range from $8 - $9.
VI.Pro forma – Provided Separately by Sonny’s Car Wash Equipment suppliers. One of the
industry’s largest and most respected companies.
VII.Site Plan – Provided Separately.
VIII.Equipment – Fastech Car Wash Equipment Company will be providing the latest in high tech
express car wash equipment including the latest in High Quality water filtration and
recycling systems. By using state-of-the-art equipment and design practices,Wave Car Wash
will reclaim and recycle about 90% the water used in the wash process. This results in
significant water savings over traditional at-home car washes or hand washing. The reverse
osmosis filtration helps clean 99% of impurities from the water allowing for a spot free
rinse. Even if some water is left on the car, it will dry with minimal spotting. Advances in
express car wash technology over the last 7 – 10 years have revolutionized the quality of the
wash to exceed that of washing cars by hand.
IX.Construction – A time of 4-6 months is expected for ground up construction to be
completed. Once completed, the car wash will be done in a Modern style with a drive thru
wash tunnel, covered vacuum area and covered canopies for the customer waiting area.
ATTACHMENT NO. 5
X.Environment –Wave Car Wash will use cleaning ingredients that are environmentally
friendly and mostly bio-degradable (the chemicals naturally dissolve into the environment).
Because we control the flow rate and the water pressure, we use far less water per car than
washing at home. Due to the severe drought in California, many cities and counties have put
into place many restrictions on water usage such as washing your car at home. Washing
your car at home wastes a lot of much needed water. Wave Car Wash will use much less
water than washing your car at home or a traditional hand car wash making Wave Car Wash
an environmentally friendly “Green” business.

PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT
DATE: JANUARY 23, 2017
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2016-05897 AND
DETERMINATION OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE OR
NECESSITY NO. 2016-00134
LOCATION: 2034 West Lincoln Avenue (Family Beer Wine Water Market)
APPLICANT/PROPERTY OWNER: The applicant is Ranya Jarjes and the
property owner is Clausen Enterprises.
REQUEST: The applicant is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to
upgrade an existing “Type 20” Off-Sale Beer and Wine Department of Alcoholic
Beverage Control (ABC) license to a “Type 21” Off-Sale General license and a
Determination of Public Convenience or Necessity to permit the sales of alcoholic
beverages for off-site consumption within an existing convenience market.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission
approve the attached resolutions, determining that this request is categorically
exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (Class 1, Existing
Facilities), and approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05897 and Public
Convenience or Necessity No. 2016-00134.
BACKGROUND: This 0.88-acre property is developed with a 11,200 square foot
commercial center which includes the subject 1,200 square foot convenience
market. The property is located in the “C-G” General Commercial zone and the
General Plan designates this property for Corridor Residential land uses. The
property is surrounded by commercial and office uses to the east and west along
Lincoln Avenue and single family residential uses to the south and to the north
across Lincoln Avenue.
There are no existing zoning entitlements associated with this convenience store;
therefore, the sale of beer and wine for off-site consumption is considered a legal-
nonconforming use.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2016-05897 AND DETERMINATION OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE OR
NECESSITY NO. 2016-00134
January 23, 2017
Page 2 of 4
PROPOSAL: The applicant proposes to upgrade from the sales of beer and wine to full
alcoholic beverages for off-site consumption within an existing 1,200 square foot
convenience market. No modifications to the building’s exterior or interior tenant space are
proposed. The convenience store would operate with a Type 21 (Off-Sale General) ABC
license and would sell alcoholic beverages, food items, sundries, tobacco products and
lottery tickets. The store will continue to operate from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., seven days a
week with up to three employees.
FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS: Before the Planning Commission may approve a
conditional use permit, it must make a finding of fact that the evidence presented shows that
all of the following conditions exist:
1) That the proposed use is properly one for which a conditional use permit is
authorized by this code;
2) That the proposed use will not adversely affect the adjoining land uses, or the
growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located;
3) That the size and shape of the site proposed for the use is adequate to allow
the full development of the proposed use, in a manner not detrimental to
either the particular area or health and safety;
4) That the traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue
burden upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the
traffic in the area; and
5) That the granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed,
if any, will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the
City of Anaheim.
Convenience stores with off-premise sales of alcoholic beverages require approval of a
conditional use permit in this zone in order to determine compatibility with surrounding land
uses. Staff believes that the proposed ABC license upgrade from beer and wine to alcoholic
beverages would not adversely affect the surrounding land uses or the growth and
development of the area if the business is operated in a responsible manner and in compliance
with the recommended conditions of approval. These conditions include: prohibiting any
exterior advertising of alcoholic beverages and requiring ABC LEAD (Licensee Education on
Alcohol and Drugs) training for employees. The convenience store is currently operating
without a conditional use permit, so the approval of this request provides the opportunity for
alcohol-related operational conditions to be applied to the business. No increase in the
parking requirement would occur since a building expansion is not being requested at this
time. Based on these factors, staff believes that the proposed use would be compatible with
the surrounding area and recommends approval of the conditional use permit.

NECESSITY NO. 2016-00134
January 23, 2017
Page 3 of 4
Determination of Public Convenience or Necessity: State law limits the issuance of alcoholic
beverage licenses when a license is requested for a property located in a police reporting
district with a crime rate above the City average, or when there is an over-concentration in the
number of ABC licenses within a census tract. In this case, the subject property is in an area
that exceeds both the City’s average crime rate and over-concentration of ABC licenses.
However, the law also states that such restrictions can be waived if the local jurisdiction makes
a determination that the proposed outlet would serve a "public convenience or necessity."
Since there is an overconcentration of off-sale licenses in the census tract and there is a crime
rate that is above the city-wide average, a “determination of public convenience or necessity"
is required.
This property is located within Census Tract No. 871.03, which has a population of 8,470.
This population allows for 9 on-sale ABC licenses and there are presently 8 licenses in the
tract. It also allows for 5 off-sale licenses and there are presently 9 licenses in the tract. One
of the 9 off-sale licenses belongs Family Beer Wine Water Market and would be upgraded, so
the number of off-sale licenses would not be increased. The property is within Police
Reporting District No. 1720, which has a crime rate that is 145 percent above the citywide
average. According to the Police Department, the crime rate in this reporting area is above
average due to the higher concentration of commercial uses along Lincoln Avenue. There
were six calls for service at this location in the last year and the calls consisted of 3 petty
thefts, 1 brandishing a firearm, 1 forgery and 1 robbery.
The Police Department evaluates these requests based on the crime rate within a one-quarter
(1/4) mile radius of the subject site. Over the last year, the crime rate within a one-quarter mile
radius of this property was 104 percent above the City-wide average based upon calls for
service. The calls consisted of 22 petty thefts, 32 simple assaults, 17 auto burglaries and 18
drug abuse violations.
The applicant purchased the Type 21 ABC license from a private party located at 8512 Katella
Avenue in Garden Grove. According to ABC, the convenience market has operated with a
Type 20 off- sale beer and wine license since 1991 with different operators. The applicant has
owned and operated the business since November of 2015 in compliance with all regulations
pertaining to the sales of alcoholic beverages. ABC has confirmed that the applicant has not
had any citations and has a current license that is eligible for the proposed upgrade.
Staff conducted an inspection of the property and observed the site to be well maintained,
including on-site landscaping, parking lot lighting and striping. However, there were sign
violations observed on the market’s leasehold frontage including an additional wall sign,
window signs exceeding the maximum area allowed by code, as well as a pole sign and illegal
feather signs in the front landscape planter. The draft resolution includes a condition of
approval requiring that all illegal and unpermitted signs be removed within 30 days of the
conditional use permit approval.

NECESSITY NO. 2016-00134

The existing market is a long-standing neighborhood business that provides a convenient
shopping location for area residents. As previously mentioned, the business has been operating
responsibly over the years. Staff believes the proposed ABC license upgrade would be
compatible with the neighborhood and would provide a convenience to the surrounding
neighborhood. In addition, the market only operates until 10:00 p.m. and the owner has no
plans to extend the hours if the ABC license is upgraded.
CONCLUSION: The proposed sale of alcoholic beverages for off-premise consumption
is a compatible use with the surrounding area. The recommended conditions of approval
would ensure that the sale of alcoholic beverages would not have an adverse impact on the
surrounding land uses. Staff recommends approval of this request.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2016-05897 AND
MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2016-00121)
(2034 WEST LINCOLN AVENUE)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim ("Planning Commission")
did receive a verified petition to approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05897 to permit an
upgrade of an existing “Type 20” Off-Sale Beer and Wine Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC)
license to a “Type 21” Off-Sale General ABC license to permit the sale of beer, wine and distilled
spirits for off-site consumption within a convenience market (Family Beer Wine Water Market),
(herein referred to collectively as the "Proposed Project") for certain real property located at 2034
West 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, Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05897 is proposed in conjunction with
Public Convenience or Necessity No. 2016-00134, now pending, which, together with the
Project, shall be referred to herein collectively as the "Proposed Project"; and
WHEREAS, the Property, consisting of approximately 0.88 acres, is developed with a
11,200 square foot commercial center, including the 1,200 square foot market. The Anaheim
General Plan designates the Property for Corridor Residential 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 (Commercial 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 January 23, 2017 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 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 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, 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
- 2 - PC2017-***
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, 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 pertaining to the request for Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05897, does find and
determine the following facts:
1. The proposed request to upgrade an existing “Type 20” Off-Sale Beer and Wine
Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license to a “Type 21” Off-Sale General ABC license to
permit the sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits for off-site consumption within a convenience
market is an allowable use within the "C-G" General Commercial Zone under 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 use proposed under Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05897, under the
conditions imposed, are compatible with the existing uses in the surrounding area.
3. The size and shape of the site for the use proposed under Conditional Use Permit
No. 2016-05897 are, under the conditions imposed, adequate to allow the full development of the
proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area or to the health and safety
because the convenience market on the Property will adhere to all required land use standards.
4. The traffic generated by the uses proposed under Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-
05897, under the conditions imposed, 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 increase due to the upgrade of the ABC license.
5. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05897, under the conditions
imposed, will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim as
the proposed project will be compatible with the surrounding area through conditions of approval
for the use and is not a health or safety risk to the citizens of the City of Anaheim.
WHEREAS, the 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. The 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 the Planning Commission does hereby
approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05897, contingent upon and subject to (i) approval of
Public Convenience or Necessity No. 2016-00134, 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
- 3 - PC2017-***
Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05897 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 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 January 23, 2017. 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.

FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2016-00121)
(2034 WEST LINCOLN AVENUE)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (hereinafter referred to as
the “Planning Commission”) did receive a verified petition for Public Convenience or Necessity
No. 2016-00134 to upgrade an existing “Type 20” Off-Sale Beer and Wine Alcoholic Beverage
Control (ABC) license to a “Type 21” Off-Sale General ABC license to permit the sale of beer,
wine and distilled spirits for off-site consumption within a convenience market (Family Beer
Wine Water Market) for certain real property located at 2034 West 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, Public Convenience or Necessity No. 2016-00134 is proposed in
conjunction with a request for Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05897, now pending, which
together with the Project, shall be referred to herein collectively as the “Proposed Project”; and
WHEREAS, the Property, consisting of approximately 0.88 acres, is developed with a
11,200 square foot commercial center, including the 1,200 square foot market. The Anaheim
General Plan designates the Property for Corridor Residential 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 (Commercial 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 January 23, 2017 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 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 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
- 2 - PC2017-***
WHEREAS, by the adoption of a separate resolution concurrently with but prior in time
to this Resolution, this Planning Commission has heretofore found and determined, as the “lead
agency” under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000
et seq.; herein referred to as “CEQA”), that the Proposed Project is 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, 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 a Determination of Public Convenience or Necessity
No. 2016-00134, does find and determine the following facts:
1. On July 11, 1995, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 95R-134 establishing
procedures and delegating certain responsibilities to the Planning Commission relating to the
determination of "Public Convenience or Necessity" on those certain applications requiring that
such determination be made by the local governing body pursuant to applicable provisions of the
Business and Professions Code, and prior to the issuance of a license by the Department of
Alcoholic Beverage Control ("ABC").
2. Section 23958 of the Business and Professions Code provides that the ABC shall
deny an application for a license if issuance of that license would tend to create a law
enforcement problem, or if issuance would result in or add to an "undue concentration" of
licenses, except when an applicant has demonstrated that "public convenience or necessity"
would be served by the issuance of a license. For purposes of Section 23958.4, "undue
concentration" means the case in which the Property is located in an area where any of the
following conditions exist:
(a) The Property is located in a crime reporting district that has a 20
percent greater number of reported crimes than the average number of
“reported crimes” (as defined in Section 23958.4), as determined from
all crime reporting districts within the City of Anaheim.
(b) As to on-sale retail license applications, the ratio of on-sale retail
licenses to population in the census tract or census division in which the
Property is located exceeds the ratio of on-sale retail licenses to
population in the county in which the applicant premises are located.
(c) As to off-sale retail license applications, the ratio of off-sale retail
licenses to population in the census tract or census division in which the
Property is located exceeds the ratio of off-sale retail licenses to
population in the county.
- 3 - PC2017-***
3. Notwithstanding the existence of the above-referenced conditions, ABC may issue a
license if the Planning Commission determines that the "public convenience or necessity" would
be served by the issuance.
4. Resolution No. 95R-134 authorizes the City of Anaheim Police Department to make
recommendations related to "public convenience or necessity" determinations; and, when the
sale of alcoholic beverages for off-premises consumption is permitted by the Code, said
recommendations shall take the form of conditions of approval to be imposed on the
determination in order to ensure that the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages does not
adversely affect any adjoining land use or the growth and development of the surrounding area.
5. The Property is located within Census Tract No. 871.03 with a population of 8,470
that allows for five off-sale ABC licenses. There are presently nine (9) off-sale ABC licenses in
the tract. The Property is located in Police Reporting District No. 1720, which has a crime rate
that is 145 percent above the City-wide average. The Police Department evaluates these requests
based on the crime rate within a one-quarter mile radius of the Property for the subject site. The
crime rate within ¼ mile of this Property is 104 percent above the City-wide average based upon
calls for service. Since there is an overconcentration of off-sale licenses in the census tract and
the crime rate is above the city-wide average, a determination of "public convenience or
necessity" is required.
6. The request to permit alcoholic beverage sales for off-premises consumption in
conjunction with a convenience market 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 convenience market that sells beer and wine and the
proposed use of the Premises at the Property is compatible with the existing uses in the
surrounding area; and
7. The determination of "Public Convenience or Necessity" can be made based on the
finding that the license requested is consistent with the Planning Commission guideline for such
determinations and further that the granting of the determination of Public Convenience or
Necessity, under the conditions imposed, will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the
citizens of the City of Anaheim.
WHEREAS, the 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. The Planning Commission expressly
declares that it considered all evidence presented and reached these findings after due
consideration of all evidence presented to it.

To Whom It May Concern:
I purchased an ABC 21 license, number 480361, from Shamsher Singh for $24,000.00, located at 8512 Katella
Avenue, Garden Grove, CA 92840. The primary purpose of my business is providing my customers with a convenient
storefront to purchase any basic food, tobacco or beverage item as well as general items for health and wellbeing. I
strive to be a “one stop shop” for anyone who may visit my store. The liquor license will allow me to be more of a
convenience to the citizens in my area.
I have had an influx of customers requesting to purchase alcoholic beverages from my store in the last year.
Granting this license would cater to their desire to buy liquor and there are only two similar businesses, to my
knowledge, within 1 mile of my location and there are no neighborhoods or schools in the immediate area that would be
negatively affected by the granting of this license.
Currently my beer sales are roughly 20 percent of my sales and during the winter that decreases; when people
are consuming more liquor than beer. Granting me this license will allow my business to stay at the current profitability
level all year long and will increase my sales overall throughout the year. I believe having the liquor license will increase
my sales by 10-15 percent overall. I also will keep all of the liquor behind the counter and it will be out of the reach of
the public while they are in my store.
While my business does not cater to a specific need for liquor, it does cater to the convenience for individuals
looking to purchase alcohol on their way home or on the way to a gathering.
I plan to check identification on all individuals purchasing liquor from my establishment and will not allow third
party sales to underage individuals. If an individual comes into my location and I feel as though they are inebriated, I will
exercise my right to deny sales to that person and contact the proper authorities.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any other questions at 619-962-9250.

PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT
DATE: JANUARY 23, 2017
SUBJECT: VARIANCE NO. 2016-05083 AND
TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 18046
LOCATION: 2726 West Lincoln Avenue
APPLICANT/PROPERTY OWNER: The property owner is the Mary T. Woods
Revocable Trust, represented by Gary Woods. The applicant is AMG & Associates,
LLC, represented by Gene Broussard.
REQUEST: The applicant requests approval of the following land use entitlements:
1) A Variance to allow reduced structural and landscape setbacks to construct a
34-unit condominium project; and
2) A Tentative Tract Map to establish a 1-lot, 34 unit attached condominium
subdivision.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the
attached resolutions, determining that this request is categorically exempt from further
environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Class 32, In-
fill Development Projects) and approving Variance No. 2016-05083 and Tentative
Tract Map No. 18046.
BACKGROUND: The 1.17-acre property is currently developed with four single-
family residences that would be demolished as part of the proposed project. In 2013,
the property was reclassified, or rezoned, from the “T” Transition zone, to the “RM-4”
Multi-Family Residential Zone. The property is also located in the “RO” Residential
Opportunity” Overlay zone. The General Plan designates the property for Medium
Density Residential land uses. The surrounding land uses include apartments to the
west, vacant land and a flood control channel to the south, outdoor storage of
recreational vehicles to the east, and automobile service uses across Lincoln Avenue to
the north.
On October 17, 2016, the Planning Commission denied a request to develop a 35-unit,
affordable condominium development on the site. The Commission’s denial was
based largely on the fact that the project did not include any on-site guest parking
spaces. The applicant subsequently appealed the Commission’s decision to the City
VARIANCE NO. 2016-05083 AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 18046
January 23, 2017
Page 2 of 5
Council. The appeal was considered by the City Council at its November 22, 2016 meeting.
Following the close of public testimony, the applicant requested that the City Council table the
appeal to provide an opportunity to consider alternate plans that addressed guest parking
concerns. The applicant now proposes a revised project which contains one less unit than
previously proposed, eliminates the affordability component and fully complies with the City’s
parking requirements, including the provision of guest parking spaces. The revised proposal is
described below.
PROPOSAL: The applicant requests Planning Commission approval of a variance to allow
reduced building and landscape setbacks, and a tentative tract map, to allow construction of a
proposed 34-unit condominium complex. The project would be comprised of two, 3-story
buildings. The buildings include ground level, 2-car tandem garages with 2-story units above.
Nine guest parking spaces would be provided in compliance with Zoning Code. Each unit would
be approximately 1,000 square feet in size and feature two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a
living/dining area, kitchen, and a private balcony on the second floor. Vehicular access to
Lincoln Avenue would be provided via a 24-foot wide drive aisle. Project amenities include
6,860 square feet of common open space, including a common picnic area with a shade trellis.
FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS:
Building and Landscape Setback Variances: A variance shall be granted upon a finding by
the Planning Commission or City Council that the evidence presented shows that all of the
following conditions exist:
1) That there are special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape,
topography, location or surroundings, which do not apply to other properties under
identical zoning classification in the vicinity;
2) That, because of special circumstances, shown above, strict application of the Zoning
Code deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by other property under identical zoning
classification in the vicinity.

The RM-4 Zone requires a combination of structural and landscape setbacks, including enhanced
setbacks from the southerly property line due to the adjacent single-family residences. The
following table lists the setback standard requirements and the requested reductions. Each
specific request is discussed in detail below.

**Within 150 feet of a Single-Family Residential Zone
Front Landscape Setback: As noted above, the applicant is proposing a 12’-6” building setback
adjacent to Lincoln Avenue where an average of 20 feet is required (with a 15’ minimum). The
applicant is required to dedicate seven feet of property along the Lincoln Avenue frontage;
however, there are no immediate plans to widen Lincoln Avenue so the area to be dedicated
would remain landscaped for the foreseeable future and be contiguous with the on-site
landscaping proposed. Therefore, a 19’-6” wide landscaped setback would be provided until
such time that Lincoln Avenue is widened.
Structural Setback from Single-Family Residences: Due to its proximity to a single-family
residential neighborhood to the south, the project would not meet the required structural setback
of 55 feet for a three story building. To help mitigate the reduced setback, the project would meet
the required landscape setback and would be physically divided from the nearest single family
residential neighborhood on Tola Avenue by an existing 75-foot wide flood control channel.
Interior Setbacks: Although no landscape setback is provided from the east property line, the
project is designed to provide a pedestrian walkway and private ground floor patios, which
would create a modest and aesthetically pleasing buffer from the adjacent land use. The adjacent
property is owned by Southern California Edison and is improved with overhead transmission
lines. The property is also used to store recreational vehicles, and given then presence of the
transmission lines, it is unlikely that the property would be developed with a more intense land
use than what is presently there. The landscape setback from the west property line is proposed
at 4’-6” where five feet are required.
Staff believes that the requested variances are justified due to the extremely narrow width of the
property (85 feet). In fact, this is the narrowest parcel located on Lincoln Avenue between Dale
Avenue and Magnolia Avenue. The project includes reduced setbacks due to the narrow width
of the property. This makes it difficult to develop the property while providing the requisite
vehicle back-up clearances and trash and fire truck turnaround. As proposed at 29 dwelling units
VARIANCE NO. 2016-05083 AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 18046
January 23, 2017
Page 4 of 5
per acre, the project is far below the allowable density of 36 dwelling units per acre. Therefore,
staff does not believe that the applicant is attempting to overbuild the site. Due to the narrow
width of the property, combined with a front landscape design that would achieve a similar effect
as the full setback, the full southerly landscape setback, the passive land use adjacent to the east,
and the separation from the single-family residences, staff is supportive of the setback variance
requests.
Parking Requirements: Based on the 34 two-bedroom units proposed, the applicant is required
to provide a total of 77 parking spaces, nine of which must be open guest spaces. The project
would meet this requirement with 68 garaged spaces (two tandem spaces per unit), and nine open
spaces centrally located near the common recreation area and truck turnaround.
Building Elevations: Staff believes the elevations complement the neighborhood and are
consistent with the City’s design policies for residential developments along arterial highways.
The elevations incorporate architectural detailing through the use of a variety of materials such as
wood, stucco, tile, wrought iron, and a complementary range of colors. The unit along Lincoln
Avenue has entry porches to create a pedestrian friendly street environment consistent with the
General Plan design guidelines which encourages attractive porches, and detailed
facade treatments, which create visual interest.
Tentative Tract Map: Before the Planning Commission may approve the tentative tract map, it
must make a finding of fact that the evidence presented shows that all of the following conditions
exist:
1) That the proposed subdivision of the Property, including its design and improvements, is
consistent with the General Plan of the City of Anaheim, and more particularly with the
"Medium Density Residential" land use designation.
2) That the proposed subdivision of the Property, as shown on proposed Tentative Tract
Map No. 18046, including their design and improvements, is consistent with the zoning
and development standards of the RM-4" Multiple-Family Residential Zone.
3) That the site is physically suitable for the type and density of the proposed project.
4) That the design of the subdivision, as shown on proposed Tentative Tract Map No.
18046, is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and
avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat, as no sensitive environmental habitat has
been identified.
5) That the design of the subdivision, as shown on proposed Tentative Tract Map No. 18046
or the type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems.
The proposed density of 29 dwelling units per acre is permitted under the Medium Density
Residential land use designation which allows up to 36 dwelling units per acre. The tract map
complies with all applicable regulations and is consistent with the density allowed under the
Medium Density Residential General Plan designation. In addition, the project is not likely to
cause substantial environmental damage and will not conflict with easements acquired by the
public. The project would also be consistent with the City’s Housing Element by adding high
quality, well maintained housing stock, and would contribute to the availability of a range of
VARIANCE NO. 2016-05083 AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 18046
January 23, 2017
Page 5 of 5
housing choices for a variety of incomes. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the tentative
tract map request.
Environmental Impact Analysis: Staff recommends the Planning Commission find that the
effects of the proposed project are typical of those generated within the class of -in-fill
development meeting the conditions described in Section 15332 (Class 32 – In-fill Development)
of the CEQA Guidelines; that is, (a) consistent with the applicable general plan designation and
all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations,
(b) occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded
by urban uses, (c) the project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened
species, (d) approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic,
noise, air quality, or water quality, and (e) the site can be adequately served by all required
utilities and public services. The Planning Commission finds and determines that the Property is
located within an "urbanized area", as that term is defined in Section 15387 of the CEQA
Guidelines, meets the aforementioned conditions, and will not cause a significant effect on the
environment and is, therefore, categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA.
CONCLUSION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the requested
variances because there are special circumstances related to the narrow shape of the property,
otherwise, the applicant would be unable to develop the property in accordance with the
requirements of the zoning classification. Staff also recommends that the Planning Commission
approve the proposed tentative tract map because it would implement a project that is compatible
with existing and surrounding land uses. In addition, approval of the proposed residential
development would result in an increase in the City’s housing stock and would be consistent
with the goals and policies contained in the Housing Element.

(the "Project"); and
WHEREAS, on January 23, 2017, the Planning Commission did hold a public
hearing at the Civic Center in the City of Anaheim, 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 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 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 "projects", as that term is defined in Section 15378 of the CEQA
Guidelines; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds and determines that the Proposed
Project is within that class of projects (i.e., Class 32 – In-fill Development projects) which
consists of in-fill development meeting the conditions described in Section 15332 of the CEQA
Guidelines; that is, (a) the project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and
all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations,
(the proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres
substantially surrounded by urban uses, (c) the project site has no value as habitat for
endangered, rare or threatened species, (d) approval of the project would not result in any
significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality, and (e) the site can be
- 2 - PC2017-***
adequately served by all required utilities and public services. The Planning Commission finds
and determines that the Property is located within an "urbanized area", as that term is defined in
Section 15387 of the CEQA Guidelines, and meets the aforementioned conditions and 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 to construct 34 single-family attached
residences with building and landscape setbacks that are narrower than required by the Code, has
determined that Variance No. 2016-05083 should be approved for the following reasons:
SECTION NO. 18.06.090.010.0101 Minimum front landscaped and structural
setback.
(20 feet required; 12 feet, 6 inches proposed)
SECTION NO. 18.06.090.030 Minimum interior setback.
(20 feet structural, 5 feet landscape required;
13 feet, 4 inches structural, 0 to 4 feet, 6 inches
landscape proposed)
SECTION NO. 18.06.090.040 Minimum setback within 150 feet of single-
family residential.
(55 feet required; 10 feet proposed)
1. That there are special circumstances applicable to the Property, including size,
shape, location and surroundings, which do not apply to other property under the identical zoning
classification in the vicinity of the proposed Project. The property has a narrow shape, which
presents unique challenges to this site not experienced by other nearby properties in the same
zone. The Project doesn’t not comply with the above setback requirements due to the narrowness
of the lot and the required vehicle back up clearance of the open parking spaces proposed, as
well as the trash and fire truck turnaround.
2. That, because of these special circumstances, strict application of the Zoning
Code deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by other property under the identical zoning
classification in the vicinity due to the limited developable area, specifically the narrow width of
portions of the property. In fact, this is the narrowest parcel located on Lincoln Avenue between
Dale Avenue and Magnolia Avenue.
WHEREAS, the 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. The 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, for the reasons hereinabove stated, does hereby approve Variance
No. 2016-05083 subject to the conditions of approval described in Exhibit B attached hereto and
incorporated by this reference which are hereby found to be a necessary prerequisite to the
proposed use of the subject property in order to preserve the health, safety and general welfare of
the Citizens of the City of Anaheim.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that amendments, modifications and revocations
of this permit may be processed in accordance with Chapters 18.60.190 (Amendment to Permit
Approval) of the Anaheim Municipal Code.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Anaheim City 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 the applicant is responsible for paying all
charges related to the processing of this discretionary case application within 15 days of the
issuance of the final invoice. Failure to pay all charges shall result in delays in the issuance of
required permits or the revocation of the approval of this application.

to construct 34 single-family, attached condominium units (the "Project") on certain real property
located at 2726 West 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 1.17 acres in size and is located in the "RM-
4" Multiple-Family Residential Zone. The Property is designated on the Land Use Element of
the General Plan for "Medium Density Residential" land uses; and
WHEREAS, Tentative Tract Map No. 18046 is proposed in conjunction with Variance

PROJECT LOCATION:
ATTACHMENT NO. 4
SURROUNDING LAND USES AND SETTING: The 1.176-acre property is currently
developed with four single-family residences. In 2013, the property was reclassified from the
“T” Transition zone to the “RM-4” Multi-Family Residential Zone. The General Plan designates
the property for Medium Density Residential land uses. The surrounding land uses include
apartments to the west, vacant land and a flood control channel to the south, outdoor recreational
vehicle storage to the east, and automobile service uses across Lincoln Avenue to the north.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant requests approval of a variance to allow reduced
building and landscape setbacks, and a tentative tract map to allow construction of a proposed
condominium complex. The Proposed Project includes the demolition of four single-family
residences and the construction of a condominium subdivision comprised of two, 3-story
buildings. The buildings include ground level, 2-car tandem garages with 2-story units above.
Nine guest parking spaces would be provided. Each unit would be approximately 1,000 square
feet in size and feature two bedrooms, and a private patio. Vehicular access to Lincoln Avenue
would be provided via a 24-foot wide drive aisle. Project amenities include 6,860 square feet of
common open space, including a common picnic area with a shade trellis.
GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Medium Density Residential
ZONING: RM-4 Multi-Family Residential Zone
INFORMATION DEMONSTRATING THAT THE PROJECT SATISFIES THE
CONDITIONS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 15332 OF TITLE 14 OF THE CALIFORNIA
CODE OF REGULATIONS:
1. Is the project consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable
general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations?
The tentative tract map indicates a 1-lot subdivision to allow for the construction of 34
condominium units. The proposed subdivision, including its design and improvements, is
consistent with the Medium Density Residential land use designation of the Anaheim
General Plan and RM-4 Multi-Family Residential Zone.
2. Is the proposed development located within the City limits on a project site of no more
than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses?
The1.176-acre property is located in the City of Anaheim and is currently developed with
four single family residences. Surrounding land uses in consist of apartments to the west,
vacant land and a flood control channel to the south, outdoor recreational vehicle storage
to the east, and office, commercial and retail uses across Lincoln Avenue to the north.
3. Does the project site have value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species?
The project site is currently developed with four single-family homes and has no habitat
value for endangered, rare or threatened species.
4. Would approval of the project result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air
quality, or water quality?
a. Traffic:
Construction - There would be a temporary minor increase in traffic due to construction
vehicles during the construction phase. However, this impact would be temporary. No
significant impacts would occur.
Operation - The Proposed Project consists of the demolition of four single-family homes
and the construction of a 34-unit condominium subdivision. The City of Anaheim Traffic
Study Guidelines state that a traffic study is required when a project is expected to
generate 100 or more new vehicle trips in the AM or PM peak hour. Based on the
Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual Code 230, the net increase of
30 units is equivalent to 17 new peak hour trips. As such, a traffic study was not required
nor prepared. Neither roadway segments nor immediately surrounding intersections are
anticipated to be significantly impacted as a result of the additional trips from the
Proposed Project.
b. Noise:
Construction - The Proposed Project would generate temporary noise during construction
activities. Equipment used during construction could create noise impacts through the
duration of the construction process. However, these impacts are temporary and would
cease upon completion of construction. Chapter 6.70 of the City’s noise ordinance
exempts construction noise between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., Monday
through Saturday. Adherence to the City Noise ordinance would result in no significant
impacts.
Operation - The Proposed Project is a 34-unit residential development that, when
constructed, would generate noise impacts consistent with those of surrounding land uses.
No significant impacts would occur.
c. Air Quality:
The Proposed Project site is located within SoCAB which is characterized by relatively
poor air quality and is a Federal- and State-designated nonattainment area for O3, PM10
and PM2.5 (US EPA 2012). SCAQMD has established significance thresholds for both
construction and operational activities relative to these criteria pollutants. Based on the
following analysis, implementation of the Proposed Project would result in less than
significant impacts relative to the daily significance thresholds for criteria air pollutant
construction emissions established by the SCAQMD.
Construction - The proposal consists of the demolition of four single-family homes and
the construction of a 34-unit condominium subdivision on a 1.176-acre parcel. General
construction activities, such as site preparation, including demolition of the existing four
single-family residences, grading, and travel by construction workers can contribute to air
pollutants. All construction activities would comply with SCAQMD Rule 403
(SCAQMD 2005) regarding the control of fugitive dust emissions, and existing City dust
suppression practices that minimize dust and other emissions. Such controls include
frequent watering of the site, the covering and/or wetting of trucks hauling dirt, sand, soil
or other loose materials off-site, street sweeping, as needed, to remove dirt dropped by
construction vehicles or mud that would otherwise be carried off by trucks departing the
site, suspending grading and excavation activities in high winds (25 miles per hour [mph]
or more) as well as implementation of a traffic control plan to minimize traffic flow
interference from construction activities, etc., that would be incorporated into the
construction plans.
Construction is conservatively anticipated to last 16 months and construction would be
broken into three phases: demolition, grading, and building construction (which consists
of building construction, paving, and architectural coating).
Pollutant emissions resulting from Proposed Project construction activities were
calculated using the CalEEMod model. Construction emissions are based on
conservative assumptions, which imply a default equipment mix and a worst-case
construction schedule. As shown in Table 1, entitled “Project-Related Construction and
Operational Emissions,” the incremental increase in emissions from Proposed Project
construction activities fall well below SCAQMD significance thresholds for regional
emissions.
Operation - The Proposed Project’s incremental increase in regional emissions resulting
from operation of the Proposed Project would not exceed any SCAQMD thresholds.
Mobile source emission calculations utilize the vehicle miles traveled (VMT) rate
calculated by CalEEMod, based on the specific proposed land use and intensity. The
daily VMT rate is based on the number of daily trips for each land use and applied to a
commute percentage and an average trip length, both of which are land use specific
values derived from CalEEMod. These values account for variations in trip frequency
and length associated with commuting to and from the Proposed Project. Emission
factors specific to the buildout year are projected based on SoCAB-specific fleet turnover
rates and the impact of future emission standards and fuel efficiency standards. The
increase in the consumption of fossil fuels to provide power, heat, and ventilation was
considered in the calculations as stationary point source emissions. Future fuel
consumption rates are estimated based on land use specific energy consumption rates.
The emission factors used in this analysis represent a State-wide average of known power
producing facilities, utilizing various technologies and emission control strategies, and do
not take into account any unique emissions profile. At this time, these emission factors
are considered conservative and representative. Area source emissions were calculated
by CalEEMod and include emissions from natural gas and landscape fuel combustion,
consumer products, and architectural coatings (future maintenance). As shown in Table
1, the operational emissions pollutant concentrations resulting from Proposed Project
operation would not exceed SCAQMD thresholds. Therefore, air quality impacts would
be less than significant.

Regional emissions refer to the ambient conditions surrounding the site. Therefore,
pollutant emissions associated with construction of the Proposed Project would be less
than significant. Operational related impacts are typically associated with emissions
produced from Project-generated vehicle trips. Based on the Proposed Project’s
anticipated compliance with SCAQMD Rule 403 and the scale of development, it is
anticipated that no significant impacts would occur to existing air quality standards.
d. Water Quality:
Grading and construction associated with site work on the project site would result in
temporary disturbance of surface soils, which could potentially result in erosion and
sedimentation on site, which are major visible water quality impacts attributable to
construction activities. Any stockpiles of excavated areas would be susceptible to high
rates of erosion from wind and rain and, if not manage properly, could result in increased
sedimentation in local drainage ways.
The Proposed Project must comply with the requirements of the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) MS4 Permit. The NPDES MS4 Permit
Program, which is administered in the project area by the City of Anaheim and County of
Orange, issued by the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (SARWQCB),
helps control water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into
receiving waters. The Proposed Project operation must also comply with the NPDES
General Construction Permit.
The contractor would be required to comply with Chapter 10.09 of the Anaheim
Municipal Code, which prohibits the active or passive discharge or disposal of soil or
construction debris into the storm drain. Additionally, the Proposed Project would be
required to obtain coverage under the General Permit for Discharges of Storm Water
Associated with Construction Activity (Construction General Permit Order 2009-0009-
DWQ). Construction activities subject to the Construction General Permit includes
clearing, grading, and disturbances to ground such as stockpiling or excavation. The
Construction General Permit requires implementation of a Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The SWPPP would generally contain a site map showing the
construction perimeter, existing and proposed buildings, storm water collection and
discharge points, general pre- and post-construction topography, drainage patterns across
the site, and adjacent roadways.
The SWPPP must also include project construction features designed to protect against
stormwater runoff, known as Best Management Practices (BMPs). Additionally, the
SWPPP must contain a visual monitoring program; a chemical monitoring program for
“non-visible” pollutants, should the BMPs fail; and a sediment monitoring plan, should
the site discharge directly into a water body listed on the 303(d) list for sediment.
Section A of the Construction General Permit describes the elements that must be
contained in the SWPPP. Incorporation of these policies and ordinances and the
requirements contained within would reduce project impacts to less than significant.
5. Can the project site be adequately served by all required utilities and public services?
a. Fire Protection:
The construction of a 34-unit condominium subdivision would result in a small increase
of new residents, which could incrementally increase demands for fire protection
services. However, the increased demand for fire protection services would be
considered minimal and would be met with existing fire resources. Impacts to fire
services are anticipated to be adequately funded by an increase in tax revenue, over an
extended period of time, relative to the increase in development intensity. Additional fire
personnel and associated facilities and equipment would be provided through the annual
Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program review process. Annually, Fire
Department needs would be assessed and budget allocations revised accordingly to
ensure that adequate levels of service are maintained throughout the City. Building plans
submitted for new development on the project site would be required to comply with fire
safety requirements. Additionally, development of the project site would not result in the
need for new or physically altered fire protection facilities. Impacts to fire services would
be less than significant.
b. Police Protection:
The construction of a 34-unit condominium subdivision would result in a small increase
of new residents, which could incrementally increase demands for police services.
Development of the project site would not result in the need for new or physically altered
police protection facilities. Impacts to police services would be less than significant.
c. Schools:
The Proposed Project would include the construction of a 34-unit condominium
subdivision, resulting in a small increase of new residents. Based on the student
generation rates of 0.406 for elementary students (Grades K-6), 0.144 for junior high
school students (Grades 7-8), and 0.240 for high school students (Grades 9-12) per
household provided in the Anaheim General Plan/Zoning Code Update EIR No. 3301,
development of 30 net new housing units would generate approximately 13 elementary
students, 5 junior high students, and 8 high school students. Therefore, the Proposed
Project would not significantly impact school services. In addition, payment of the
appropriate school fees would be required for all new development in accordance with
Senate Bill 50 (SB 50). The Proposed Project would be conditioned to pay the required
fee as mandated by SB 50 to off-set the impact to school services. Pursuant to SB 50,
payment of the school development fees are considered full mitigation. Impacts would
be less than significant.
d. Parks:
The Proposed Project would generate a small increase of new residents that may utilize
recreational facilities in the City. According to the Anaheim General Plan/Zoning Code
Update EIR No. 330, the City has a goal of providing at least two acres of parkland per
1,000 residents. In order to help achieve this goal, AMC Section 17.34.010 requires
residential developments to pay a park impact fee prior to the issuance of building
permits in order to offset the increase in demand and use of recreational facilities.
Therefore, no significant impacts would occur.
e. Other Public Facilities:
The Proposed Project would include the demolition of four single-family residences and
the construction of a 34-unit condominium subdivision. The Proposed Project would
generate a small increase of new residents that may utilize library facilities in the City.
The City of Anaheim Public Library system consists of a Central Library, eight branches,
the Heritage House (former Carnegie Library), and a BookMobile. The population
increase of less than one half of a percent of the total City population would not
significantly impact the Public Library system. As a result, impacts associated with
library services and facilities would be less than significant.
1 Table 5.13-14 of the Anaheim General Plan/Zoning Code Update EIR
e. Wastewater/Sewer:
The Proposed Project would be served by the Anaheim Public Works Department for
wastewater (Sanitary Sewer) collection service. The Proposed Project is located within a
developed area and there is an existing Public wastewater (Sanitary Sewer) main in W
Lincoln Avenue, adjacent to the Proposed Project. The Proposed Project would be
required to connect to this existing wastewater (Sanitary Sewer) line. The existing
wastewater facilities are not identified as deficient in either the “Existing” or “Build-out”
conditions in the latest Combined Central Anaheim Area Master Plan of Sanitary
Sewers. Due to the small size of the Proposed Project, no significant impacts on existing
wastewater infrastructure would occur and the existing facilities would be adequate to
serve the wastewater collection requirements of the Proposed Project. Impacts to
wastewater treatment facilities (OCSD) would be less than significant.
f. Storm Water Drainage:
On-site grading and drainage improvements proposed in conjunction with the proposed
site work would be required to meet the City’s and Orange County Flood Control
District’s (OCFCD) flood control criteria including design discharges,
design/construction standards and maintenance features. Per Condition of Approval No.
1 to VAR2016-05083, the project applicant will be required to obtain a right of entry and
private drainage easement from the property owner to the south to allow the proposed
storm drain crossing the lot, as well Condition of Approval No. 2 which requires a permit
from the OCFCD for the connection to Carbon Creek Channel. All new development
projects in the City are also required to include specific design Best Management
Practices to ensure that no storm water runoff generated on site would be allowed to
leave the site without pre-treatment for urban pollutants. The project site is partially
located in the flood zone. Per Condition of Approval No. 7, prior to issuance of grading
permit, the developer shall demonstrate that all building pads will be a minimum of 1-
foot above the base flood elevation. The developer shall provide an elevation certificate
issued by FEMA, or other materials determined to be sufficient by Planning Services
Division staff. The Proposed Project would not alter any drainage pattern in a manner
that would result in substantial erosion or siltation on or offsite. The Proposed Project
would not involve an alteration of the course of a stream or river. Erosion and siltation
impacts potentially resulting from the project would, for the most part, occur during the
Proposed Project’s site preparation and earthmoving phase. Implementation of the
NPDES permit requirements, as they apply to the site, would reduce potential erosion,
siltation, and water quality impacts. Less than significant impacts would occur.
g. Water Supplies:
The City of Anaheim receives water from two main sources: the Orange County
Groundwater Basin, which is managed by the Orange County Water District (OCWD),
and imported water from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD).
Groundwater is pumped from 18 active wells located within the City, and imported water
is delivered to the City through seven treated water connections and one untreated
connection.
According to the City of Anaheim 2015 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP), local
groundwater has been the least expensive and most reliable source of water supply for the
City. The City depends heavily on the groundwater from the Orange County
Groundwater Basin each year. The Proposed Project includes the development of a new
service station with convenience market at the same location of a similar use. Due to the
similar size of the project, the supply of local water needed to support the use is not
substantial. Therefore, the production rates of local wells would not be significantly
impacted. The Proposed Project would also result in similar amounts of impervious
surfaces than what currently exist on the site. Therefore, the development would not
result in a significant deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater
table. Less than significant impacts to groundwater supplies would occur.
i. Solid Waste Disposal:
Assembly Bill 939 requires local jurisdictions to divert at least 50 percent of their solid
waste into recycling. As of 2012, the City is diverting approximately 65 percent of its
waste into recycling. Waste from the City is currently being diverted to the Olinda Alpha
Landfill in the City of Brea and the Frank R. Bowerman Landfill in the City of Irvine.
Combined, the two landfills accept approximately 23,500 tons of waste per day, or over
seven million tons annually. The Proposed Project’s contribution of solid waste would be
minimal and would not significantly impact landfill operations. No significant impacts
would occur.
j. Electricity: k. Natural Gas: l. Telephone Service: m. Television Service:
The project site is located in a built-out, urban setting. The site and the surrounding
properties are fully served by various utility service providers. There are no anticipated
significant service or system upgrades needed to serve the proposed commercial use.
Any increase in demand for these services would be considered to be less than
significant.
** Authority: See Public Resources Code Section 21083 and Section 15332 of Title 14 of the
California Code of Regulations.
DETERMINATION:
I find that the answers given above are adequately supported by the information sources cited
following each question and that the effects of the Project are typical of those generated within
that class of projects (i.e., Class 32 – Infill Development Projects) characterized as in-fill
development meeting the conditions of Section 15332 of Title 14 of the California Code of
Regulations. The Project will not cause a significant effect on the environment and is, therefore,
categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents
under the California Environmental Quality Act.

Re: Variance Request and Justification
Presidio Townhomes - 2726 W. Lincoln Avenue
Mr. Taylor,
This letter is to request a variance be granted by the Planning Commission per Section 18.74 of the Anaheim
Municipal Code for the property located on 2726 W. Lincoln Avenue. A variance is being requested for the
following required setbacks:
Reduced Front Structural Setback – 20 feet required; 12 feet 6 inches proposed
Reduced Rear Structural Setback– 55 feet required, 10 feet landscaped proposed
Reduced Side Structural Setback– 15 feet required, 13 feet 4 inches proposed
Per Section 18.74.060.0201, due to the property’s special physical characteristics such as size and shape, the
development cannot meet the required setbacks set forth in code. The narrow width of the site limits our ability to
comply with the code requirements for setbacks. The neighboring properties have similar types of improvements
on their properties; however they do not have the same limiting dimensions as our site. Because of these
limitations, we are unable utilize our site in the same manner as neighboring properties with identical zoning.
Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me at (818) 380-2600 Ext. 18 or at
