ITEM NO. 3
PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT
DATE: JUNE 12, 2017
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2017-05906
LOCATION: 2121 West Crescent Avenue, Suite D (God is Love Christian Church)
APPLICANT/PROPERTY OWNER: The applicant is Joseph Rojas representing the
God is Love Christian Church. The property owner is Trifreeway Business Partner LP.
REQUEST: The applicant requests approval of a conditional use permit (CUP) to
permit and retain an existing church within an industrial and office complex.
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. 2017-05906.
BACKGROUND: The 3.44-acre property is developed with four single story
industrial buildings. The property is located within the "I" Industrial zone and the
General Plan designates the property for Industrial land uses. Surrounding land uses
include an Anaheim Fire Station to the west across Valley Street, apartments to the
south across Crescent Avenue, a water retention basin to the east, and industrial
buildings to the north across a flood control channel.
The church was originally established in 2009 and moved to its current location in
2013. In March 2015, the applicant applied for a business license to permit and retain a
church at the subject property. The Planning Department informed the church that a
CUP was required to permit a church in the Industrial zone. The business license was
not issued and the case was referred to the Code Enforcement Division. Code
Enforcement sent a courtesy notice to the applicant in October 2016 informing the
church operator of the need to apply for a CUP or to cease operating. In January 2017,
the applicant submitted an application for a CUP. The Code Enforcement case remains
active, pending a determination on this application.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2017-05906
June 12, 2017
Page 2 of 4
PROPOSAL: The applicant proposes to permit and retain a 1,293 square foot church
located within an industrial business complex. The church has approximately 45 members.
The church offers a majority of its services on Sundays with a prayer meeting at 8:00 a.m.,
an English Bible study at 9:30 a.m., and a Spanish Bible study at noon. The applicant states
that the noon service is the most well attended and averages 32 attendees (16 adults,
10 children, and 6 teenagers). The church also offers Spanish Bible study meetings
Wednesday evenings at 7:00 p.m., which is generally attended by 36 parishioners.
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.
Community and Religious Assembly uses are permitted in the Industrial Zone subject to
approval of a conditional use permit to ensure compatibility with the surrounding area. The
City has not received any complaints regarding the religious services since the church began
operating in early 2013. The use operates in a manner compatible with surrounding office,
industrial, and residential uses, and is not anticipated to create any adverse impacts to the
surrounding area. Conditions of approval to ensure that the church continues to operate in a
compatible manner have been included in the draft resolution. These conditions would
require that all parking shall occur on site and a school use or daycare other than Sunday
Bible study shall not be permitted without prior approval of a conditional use permit.
The industrial center has a total of 178 parking spaces provided on site. The Zoning Code
does not specify a parking standard for Community and Religious Assembly uses, but
permits parking to be determined by a Parking Letter or Parking Study that identifies the
actual parking demand of the church. The applicant submitted an analysis of the parking
demand of the existing church and the adjacent uses in the Letter of Request included in his
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2017-05906
June 12, 2017
Page 3 of 4
application. The applicant also conducted on site parking counts during the times in which
the church services were being held.
Staff conducted parking counts on a Thursday at 12:30 p.m. and observed 42 spaces
occupied. Staff conducted a second site visit on Sunday at 12:15 p.m. during the church’s
peak service and observed 82 parking spaces to be occupied throughout the entire center.
The applicant conducted additional parking counts of the property during the Wednesday
evening services and the Sunday services. As shown in the tables below, the applicant
surveyed the entire industrial center and observed less than half of the 178 parking spaces
were occupied:

Additionally, Code Enforcement has not received any complaints from the surrounding
residents regarding overflow or spillover parking into the adjacent neighborhoods or
industrial centers. Based on the parking counts provided by the applicant and those
conducted by staff, the operation of services during off-peak hours, and the lack of parking-
related complaints, staff believes that the church would have sufficient parking spaces
available and would not impose an undue burden on the adjacent industrial and residential
uses.
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.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2017-05906
June 12, 2017
Page 4 of 4
CONCLUSION: Staff believes that the existing church would be compatible with the
surrounding land uses. The number of on-site parking spaces are adequate to serve the
church and surrounding industrial uses based on the actual parking demand observed for the
complex. Conditions of approval have been included to ensure that the church continues to
operate in a compatible manner and that sufficient parking is provided. For these reasons,
staff recommends approval of this request, 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. 2017-05906
AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2017-00019)
(2121 WEST CRESCENT AVENUE, SUITE D)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (the "Planning
Commission") did receive a verified petition to approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2017-05906
to permit and retain an existing community and religious assembly use for premises located at
that certain real property at 2121 West Crescent Street, Suite D, 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 3.44-acres in size and is currently
developed with four single story industrial buildings. The Anaheim General Plan designates the
Property for Industrial land uses. The Property is located in the “I” Industrial Zone and is subject
to the zoning and development standards contained in Chapter 18.10 (Industrial Zones) of the
Anaheim Municipal Code (the "Code"); and
WHEREAS, a duly noticed public hearing was scheduled before the Planning
Commission at the Civic Center in the City of Anaheim on June 12, 2017 at 5:00 p.m. to hear
and consider evidence and testimony 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 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
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 the request for Conditional Use Permit No. 2017-05906, does find
and determine the following:
1. The proposed request to permit and retain a church in an existing industrial
office complex is an allowable use within the "I" Industrial Zone under subsection .010 of
Section 18.10.030 (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.
2. The conditional use permit, under the conditions imposed, will not adversely
affect the surrounding land uses and the growth and development of the area because the
Property is developed with industrial buildings and there are a sufficient amount of parking
spaces to accommodate the parking demand for the church.
3. The size and shape of the Property is adequate to allow the full operation of the
proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area or to the health, safety and
general welfare because the facility is located within an industrial building and a sufficient
number of on-site parking spaces and adequate vehicle circulation are provided on site.
4. The traffic generated by the use would not impose an undue burden upon the
streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area because the number
of vehicles entering and exiting the site will not exceed the anticipated volumes of traffic on the
surrounding streets to accommodate the use.
5. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 2017-05906 under the conditions
imposed will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim
and will provide a land use that is compatible with the surrounding area.
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. 2017-05906, and further 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 under Conditional Use Permit No. 2017-05906 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,
- 3 - PC2017-***
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 (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 June 12, 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.

PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT
DATE: JUNE 12, 2017
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2017-05920 AND
TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 2017-112
LOCATION: 505-555 North Euclid Street and 536 North Fairhaven Street
(Anaheim Place)
APPLICANT/PROPERTY OWNER: The applicant is Joe Haupt with Spectrum
Development Group. The agent is Craig Lee with Joseph C. Truxaw & Associates.
The property owner is Anaheim Place Partners, LP.
REQUEST: The applicant is requesting approval of the following entitlements:
1) A Tentative Parcel Map to permit a 4-lot commercial subdivision; and,
2) A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to exceed the maximum floor area ratio
(FAR) for Parcels 1 and 3.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt
the attached resolutions determining that Class 1, Class 15, and Class 32 Categorical
Exemptions are the appropriate environmental determinations for this request, and
approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2017-05920 and Tentative Parcel Map No.
2017-112.
BACKGROUND: The approximate 3.22-acre site is developed with a six story
office building, an 11,000 square foot bank building, and a 17-unit senior apartment
complex and is located in the “C-G” General Commercial zone. The General Plan
designates the property for Mixed Use land uses. The surrounding land uses include
commercial uses to the north and east, a surface parking lot to the south which is
currently under construction, and single family residential uses to the west across
Fairhaven Street.
This property was originally developed as 24 separate lots with 12 single-family
homes on Fairhaven Street and commercial uses along Euclid Street. A public alley
separated the residential and commercial uses. A portion of this alley still remains,
but will be abandoned before recordation of the final parcel map. The bank building
was constructed at the northeast corner Crescent Avenue and Euclid Street in the
early 1960’s.

June 12, 2017
Page 2 of 6
In 1969, the City Council approved Variance No. 2082 to permit a six story office building
with a height greater than allowed by Code and fewer parking spaces than required by Code.
In 1989, Conditional Use Permit No. 3155 was approved by the Planning Commission to
permit a 2-story, 17-unit senior citizen apartment complex on the parcel at 536 North
Fairhaven Street.
PROPOSAL: The applicant proposes to consolidate 24 existing parcels into a 4-lot
commercial subdivision for an existing commercial center as follows:
Parcel
No.
Area
(acres) Current Land Use Proposed
F.A.R.
1 1.61 Office Building 0.93
2 0.44 Parking 0
3 0.38 17-unit Apartment
Complex
1.04
4 0.79 Chase Bank 0.32
No construction is proposed with this application; however, staff is currently reviewing a
separate application from this applicant for the demolition and relocation of the Chase Bank
building from Parcel 4 to Parcel 2.
FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS:
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 subdivision of the property, including its design and
improvements, is consistent with the General Plan of the City of Anaheim.
2) That the proposed subdivision of the property, as shown on Tentative Parcel Map No.
2017-112, including its design and improvements, is consistent with the zoning and
development standards of the "C-G" Commercial 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 Tentative Parcel Map No. 2017-112,
is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably
injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
5) That the design of the subdivision, as shown on Tentative Parcel Map No. 2017-112
or the type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems.
6) That the design of the subdivision, as shown on Tentative Parcel Map No. 2017-112,
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 subdivision.
CONDTIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2017-05920 AND TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 2017-112
June 12, 2017
Page 3 of 6
The proposed subdivision would create four separate parcels. No physical modifications to the
property or buildings are proposed at this time. The existing design of the site would remain
consistent with the General Plan and the development standards of the General Commercial
zone, with the exception of the floor area ratio being proposed on Parcels 1 and 3 as described in
more detail below. The applicant also proposes to abandon the public alley and a condition of
approval has been included in the draft resolution requiring that the City Council approve the
abandonment of this alley prior to recordation of the final parcel map. On-site parking and access
would remain unchanged. To ensure that adequate access and parking would be provided for all
existing uses on site, a condition of approval has been included in the draft resolution requiring
the recordation of a reciprocal access and parking agreement between all four proposed parcels.
The proposed subdivision would not cause substantial environmental damage, serious public
health problems, nor conflict with any existing easements, as no modifications or expansions of
the existing uses are proposed at this time.
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 the Zoning 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.
Maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR): The purpose of FAR limits are to regulate development
intensity in order to ensure that build-out of the community does not cause an overburden to the
local public infrastructure. Building intensities for non-residential land uses are measured by floor
area ratio (FAR). An FAR is the ratio of total net floor area of a building to the total lot area. FAR
describes the intensity of the use on a site and not necessarily the building height or site coverage. It
does not include the area within parking structures used for parking and circulation or open outdoor
storage areas. The images below are examples of the different ways in which a building may be
configured to achieve a 0.50 FAR:
CONDTIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2017-05920 AND TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 2017-112
June 12, 2017
Page 4 of 6
The applicant is requesting to consolidate 24 parcels into four parcels and there are three
buildings developed on the property. As a result, two of the proposed parcels would exceed the
maximum 0.5 FAR allowed by the Zoning Code. The Code stipulates that the maximum FAR
may be exceeded subject to approval of a CUP. The CUP process allows staff to review
proposed FAR deviations on a case-by-case basis. In this case, no modifications or expansions
to the existing buildings are proposed.
Parcel 1 is proposed to be 1.61 acres and would include the existing six story office building
which has a total floor area of 65,000 square feet; this would result in an FAR of 0.93 for Parcel
1. The office building is currently located on seven contiguous parcels with a total lot area of
0.96 acres. The current FAR for the office building on these seven parcels is 1.56. Therefore,
the overall FAR and land use intensity would be reduced on the property in connection with this
subdivision request.
Additionally, the existing 17-unit two-story senior housing complex located on Parcel 3 has a
total floor area of 17,425 square feet, resulting in an FAR of 1.04 which would also exceed the
maximum FAR of 0.5. Although, the proposed Parcel 3 would not result in a change to the
proposed property lines or any expansion of the existing senior housing complex, it is included
as part of the tentative parcel map.
CONDTIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2017-05920 AND TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 2017-112
June 12, 2017
Page 5 of 6
As a result, since no modification or expansion is proposed, staff has determined that impacts to
the surrounding infrastructure (traffic, sewer, and storm drain systems) would not be adversely
impacted. Staff believes with the recommended conditions of approval, the existing uses would
continue to be compatible with the surrounding area and recommends approval of the Tentative
Parcel Map and the Conditional Use Permit to increase the FAR on two parcels.
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 32 “Infill Development Projects” exemption allowed under California
Environmental Quality Act. In order to support this determination, staff prepared an
environmental checklist and determined that the project would not result in any significant
effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. In reaching this conclusion, staff
determined that the subject property is less than five acres in size and surrounded by urban uses;
has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species; and, can be adequately served
by all required utilities and public services. Based on these findings, the project does not meet
the minimum thresholds that would suggest the potential for the project to cause a significant
effect on the environment.
Additionally, staff recommends the Planning Commission find that the effects of the proposed
division of the property into four parcels is within that class of projects (i.e., Class 1 – Existing
Facilities and Class 15 – Minor Land Divisions) 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 the lead agency's determination; and the
division of property in urbanized areas zoned for residential, commercial, or industrial use into
four or fewer parcels when the division. The proposed project will not result in any modification
to the existing structures and is in conformance with the General Plan and Zoning Code, no
variances or exceptions are required, all services and access to the proposed parcels to local
standards are available, the parcel was not involved in a division of a larger parcel within the
previous two years, and the parcel does not have an average slope greater than 20 percent,
therefore, pursuant to Section 15315 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.
CONDTIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2017-05920 AND TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 2017-112
June 12, 2017
Page 6 of 6
CONCLUSION: The subdivision will include a reciprocal access and parking agreement
between the four proposed parcels ensuring adequate parking will be accessible to all existing
uses. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the property’s underlying zoning, and the
subdivision will improve the compliance of the property by consolidating the existing smaller
lots. Lastly, since no new construction, modification, or expansion is proposed, impacts to the
surrounding infrastructure (traffic, sewer, and storm drain systems) would not be adversely
impacted. For these reasons, staff recommends approval of this request.

RESOLUTION NO. PC2017-***
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 2017-112
AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2017-00030)
(505-555 NORTH EUCLID STREET AND
536 NORTH FAIRHAVEN STREET)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (the "Planning
Commission") did receive a verified petition to approve Tentative Parcel Map No. 2017-112 to
establish a 4-lot commercial subdivision for that certain real property located at 505-555 North
Euclid Street and 536 North Fairhaven 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 3.22-acre Property is currently developed with a 17-unit senior
apartment building, a 65,000 square foot office building, and an 11,000 square foot bank, and is
located in the "C-G" General Commercial Zone. The Anaheim General Plan designates this
Property for Mixed Use land uses; and
WHEREAS, on June 12, 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 2017-112 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, by the adoption of a resolution concurrently with, but prior in time to, the
adoption of this Resolution, this Planning Commission found and determined that the Proposed
Project is within that class of projects which consist of minor land divisions and in-fill
development meeting the conditions described in Section 15315 and 15332 of the CEQA
Guidelines 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 establish a 4-lot commercial subdivision,
does find and determine the following facts:
-2- PC2017-***
1. The proposed subdivision, including its design and improvements, and with
the conditions imposed herein is consistent with the Mixed Use land use designation in the
Anaheim General Plan and the development standards contained in the "C-G" General
Commercial Zone; and,
2. The site is physically suitable for the type and size of the proposed
commercial subdivision in that this flat lot is developed with a 65,000 square foot office
building, 17-unit senior apartment complex, and 11,000 square foot bank building and is of
adequate size to subdivide into four parcels and meet the necessary development standards of the
“C-G” Commercial Zone.
3. The design of the subdivision, 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 and no
environmental impacts are anticipated as no development is proposed at this time.
4. The design of the subdivision 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 any future demolition, removal of structures, and future development
will be subject to all City Code requirements for demolition and construction.
5. The design of the subdivision 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 subdivision.
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 Tentative Parcel Map No. 2017-112, subject to 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

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2017-05920
MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2017-00030)
(505-555 NORTH EUCLID STREET AND
536 NORTH FAIRHAVEN STREET)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (the "Planning
Commission") did receive a verified petition for Conditional Use Permit No. 2017-05920 to exceed
the maximum floor area ratio allowed by the Zoning Code for premises located at 505-555 North
Euclid Street and 536 North Fairhaven Street in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of
California, as generally depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein
by this reference (the "Property"); and
WHEREAS, the Property is approximately 3.22-acres in size and is currently developed
with a 17-unit senior apartment building, a 65,000 square foot office building, and an 11,000
square foot bank. The Land Use Element of the Anaheim General Plan designates the Property
for Mixed Use 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”).
WHEREAS, if approved, Conditional Use Permit No. 2017-05920 will allow for an
increased floor area ratio for Parcel 1 (0.93) and Parcel 3 (1.04), as set forth in Sections 18.08.045
(Floor Area Ratio) of the Code; and
WHEREAS, on June 12, 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 Conditional Use Permit No. 2017-05920 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, by the adoption of a resolution concurrently with, but prior in time to, the
adoption of this Resolution, this Planning Commission found and determined that the Proposed
Project is within that class of projects which consist of existing facilities and in-fill development
meeting the conditions described in Section 15301 and 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines and 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 pertaining to the request for Conditional Use Permit No. 2017-05920, and in accordance
with Section 18.08.045 (Floor Area Ratio) of the Code, does find and determine that all of the
following conditions exist:
1. An increase in the maximum floor area ratio is permitted subject to the approval of a
conditional use permit as authorized by Section 18.08.045.
2. The proposed request to permit a floor area ratio that exceeds the permitted 0.5 F.A.R.
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 no expansion of existing uses are proposed on site.
Since no development is proposed, the proposed project would not have an adverse effect on the
existing infrastructure in the area nor to adjacent residential 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 no modification or expansion is proposed.
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
no modification or expansion is proposed; therefore, 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 not result in a
modification or expansion of the existing uses on site; 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
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. 2017-05920 contingent upon and subject to the conditions of
approval set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference
(“Conditions of Approval").
- 3 - PC2017-***

Subject: Trip Generation Assessment for 505-555 Euclid Street
Anaheim, California
Dear Mr. Haupt:
Linscott, Law & Greenspan, Engineers (LLG) is pleased to submit this Trip Generation
Assessment for the existing mixed-use development at 505-555 Euclid Street in the
City of Anaheim.
Based on information you provided, a Tentative Parcel Map (No. 2017-112) is being
processed with the City, and a trip generation evaluation of proposed changes is
required. No construction or change of land use is proposed, and the existing
development will be divided into four parcels.
Project Traffic Generation Forecast Comparison Analysis
Traffic generation is expressed in vehicle trip ends, defined as a one-way vehicular
movement, either entering or exiting the generating land use. Typically, traffic
generation rates used in traffic forecasting procedures are found in Trip Generation,
Ninth Edition, published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE)
[Washington, D.C., 2012]. These ITE trip rates are presented in Table 1.
Based on the application of ITE trip rates to the existing project components (will not
be changed as part of the proposed parcel map, and therefore correspond to future
conditions, as well), Table 1 indicates that the project generates 2,061 daily trips, 98
AM peak hour trips, and 228 PM peak hour trips, on a typical weekday.
Dividing the existing project site into four parcels will not result in any change in the
existing trip generation. Applying a 100-peak hour trip threshold (consistent with the
City’s criteria for determining whether a traffic impact study is warranted) indicates
that the proposed Tentative Parcel Map (No. 2017-112) will not require the preparation
of a traffic impact analysis or any further traffic assessment.

SURROUNDING LAND USES AND SETTING:
The approximate 3.22-acre site is developed with a six-story office building, an 11,000 square foot
bank building, and a 17-unit senior apartment complex and is located in the “C-G” General
Commercial zone. The General Plan designates the property for Mixed Use land uses. The
surrounding land uses include commercial uses to the north and east, a surface parking lot to the
south which is currently under construction, and single family residential uses to the west.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant proposes to consolidate 24 existing parcels into a 4-
lot commercial subdivision for an existing commercial center as follows:
Parcel No. Area
(acres) Current Land Use
1 1.61 Office Building
2 0.44 Parking
3 0.38 17-unit Apartment Complex
4 0.79 Chase Bank
No construction is proposed with this application; however, staff is currently reviewing a separate
application from this applicant for the relocation of the Chase Bank from Parcel 4 to Parcel 2.
GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Mixed Use ZONING: “C-G” Commercial General
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 site is designated for Mixed Use land uses by the General Plan, and is in the “C-G”
Commercial General Zone, which is consistent with the Proposed Project.
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?
This 3.22-acre site is located in the City of Anaheim and is currently occupied with a six-
story office building, an 11,000 square foot bank building, and a 17-unit senior apartment
complex. The site is designated for Mixed Use land uses by the General Plan. Surrounding
land uses include commercial uses to the north and east, a surface parking lot to the south
which is currently under construction, and single family residential uses to the west.
3. Does the project site have value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species?
The project site is currently developed with a six-story 65,000 square foot office building,
an 11,000 square foot bank building, and a 17-unit senior apartment complex, 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 is no construction involved with the Proposed Project. No
significant impacts would occur.
Operation - The Proposed Project consists of the consolidation of 24 existing parcels into
a 4-lot commercial subdivision for an existing commercial center. 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, would contribute 51
or more peak-hour trips to any Congestion Management Program (CMP) monitored
intersection, would generate 1,600 daily trips if located on the CMP highway system, or
would generate 2,400 daily trips if adjacent to the CMP highway system.
Traffic generation is expressed in vehicle trip ends, defined as a one-way vehicular
movement, either entering or exiting the generating land use. Typically, traffic generation
rates used in traffic forecasting procedures are found in Trip Generation, Ninth Edition,
published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) [Washington, D.C., 2012].
Based on the application of ITE trip rates to the existing project components (will not be
changed as part of the proposed parcel map, and therefore correspond to future conditions,
as well), the Trip Generation Assessment indicates that the project generates 2,061 daily
trips, 98 AM peak hour trips, and 228 PM peak hour trips, on a typical weekday. Dividing
the existing project site into four parcels will not result in any change in the existing trip
generation. Applying a 100-peak hour trip threshold (consistent with the City’s criteria for
determining whether a traffic impact study is warranted) indicates that the proposed
Tentative Parcel Map (No. 2017-112) will not require the preparation of a traffic impact
analysis or any further traffic assessment. Neither roadway segments nor immediately
surrounding intersections are anticipated to be significantly impacted as a result of the
Proposed Project.
b. Noise:
Construction - There is no construction involved with the Proposed Project. No
significant impacts would occur.
Operation - The Proposed Project consists of the consolidation of 24 existing parcels into
a 4-lot commercial subdivision for an existing commercial center that will continue to
generate noise impacts consistent with the existing commercial center and 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 Proposed Project consists of the consolidation of 24 existing parcels
into a 4-lot commercial subdivision for an existing commercial center. There is no
construction involved with the Proposed Project. No significant impacts would occur.
Operation - The Proposed Project’s 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. It is anticipated that no significant
impacts would occur to existing air quality standards.
d. Water Quality:
The Proposed Project consists of the consolidation of 24 existing parcels into a 4-lot
commercial subdivision for an existing commercial center. There is no construction or
change in use involved with the Proposed Project. No significant impacts would occur.
5. Can the project site be adequately served by all required utilities and public services?
a. Fire Protection:
The Proposed Project consists of the consolidation of 24 existing parcels into a 4-lot
commercial subdivision for an existing commercial center. There is no construction or
change in use involved with the Proposed Project. Existing fire protection services are
considered minimal and are met with existing fire resources. Provision of fire services are
anticipated to be adequately funded by an increase in tax revenue, over an extended period
of time. 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, the Proposed Project 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 Proposed Project consists of the consolidation of 24 existing parcels into a 4-lot
commercial subdivision for an existing commercial center. There is no construction or
change in use involved with the Proposed Project. The Proposed Project 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 consists of the consolidation of 24 existing parcels into a 4-lot
commercial subdivision for an existing commercial center. There is no construction or
change in use involved with the Proposed Project. Impacts would be less than significant.
d. Parks:
The Proposed Project consists of the consolidation of 24 existing parcels into a 4-lot
commercial subdivision for an existing commercial center. There is no construction or
change in use involved with the Proposed Project. Impacts would be less than significant.
e. Other Public Facilities:
The Proposed Project consists of the consolidation of 24 existing parcels into a 4-lot
commercial subdivision for an existing commercial center. There is no construction or
change in use involved with the Proposed Project. Impacts would be less than significant.
f. 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 Euclid
Avenue, adjacent to the Proposed Project. Based on the anticipated generation of
wastewater (sewage) from the Proposed Project relative to the capacity that is available, 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.
g. Storm Water Drainage:
The Proposed Project consists of the consolidation of 24 existing parcels into a 4-lot
commercial subdivision for an existing commercial center. There is no construction or
change in use involved with the Proposed Project. 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. Less than significant impacts would occur.
h. 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 consists of the consolidation of 24 existing parcels
into a 4-lot commercial subdivision for an existing commercial center. There is no
construction or change in use involved with the Proposed Project. The supply of local water
needed to support the existing 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, permitted to accept approximately 8,000 tons of waste per day.
In April, 2016 Assembly Bill 1826 requires businesses in California to recycle their organic
waste based on the amount generated per week. 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 restaurant 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 proposed 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 proposed 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.

PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT
DATE: JUNE 12, 2017
SUBJECT: ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2017-00140
LOCATION: Citywide
APPLICANT: City of Anaheim
REQUEST: This is a City-initiated amendment to Title 15 (Building and Housing) and
Title 18 (Zoning) of the Anaheim Municipal Code (AMC or Code) in response to recent
changes to State law pertaining to Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), which are also
referred to as second units, in-law units or granny flats.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission, by
motion, determine that the proposed ordinance qualifies for a statutory exemption from
the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) per State CEQA
Guidelines Section 15282(h) and recommend to the City Council approval of Zoni ng
Code Amendment No. 2017-00140.
PROPOSAL: The City proposes to amend Title 15 (Building and Housing) and Title
18 (Zoning) of the AMC in response to recent changes to State law pertaining to ADUs.
The proposed Code amendment would modify the following chapters:
15.70 (Preservation of Rental Housing Properties)
18.04 (Single-Family Residential Zones)
18.06 (Multiple-Family Residential Zones)
18.14 (Public and Special-Purpose Zones)
18.36 (Types of Uses)
18.38 (Supplemental Use Regulations)

ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2017-00140
June 12, 2017
Page 2 of 7
BACKGROUND: The State legislature first adopted regulations for second units in 1982. As
a result, the City has allowed second units in single-family zones, in some form or another,
since the early 1980s. The State legislature adopted subsequent amendments to the original law
in 1986, 1990 and 1994. Under these earlier regulations, municipalities could require a
conditional use permit for second units. In 2003, the State legislature approved AB 1866,
which prohibited municipalities from requiring a conditional use permit for second units.
In response to AB 1866, the City created a separate ordinance to regulate second unit in
accordance with State law, including allowing ministerial approval of second units. This was
completed as part of the General Plan update and associated comprehensive Zoning Code
Amendment in 2004. In Anaheim, a total of 26 second units have approved and constructed
since 2005 (see Attachment 1).
In 2016, the State legislature passed three bills related to ADUs: Senate Bill (SB) 1069,
Assembly Bill (AB) 2299 and AB 2406. The legislation clarified that second units would be
referred to from this point forward as ADUs and effectively nullified and voided the City’s
existing Second Unit Ordinance. Municipalities have the option to adopt local regulations to
implement the new legislation. Alternatively, municipalities can default to State law for
regulation of ADUs. However, as discussed below, municipalities are given a certain amount
of discretion if local regulations are adopted. Staff recommends adoption of the attached draft
ordinance. Under the new State law, ADUs can be either attached to the main dwelling unit,
including garage conversions, detached and on the same lot as the main dwelling unit or
located within the living area of the existing dwelling unit, as shown below.
Implementation of SB 1069 and AB 2229 became mandatory for jurisdictions as of January 1,
2017. Below are the provisions of SB 1069 and AB 2299:
ADU applications will be approved or disapproved within 120 days after a complete
application is received;
One ADU must be permitted per lot in all single family zones or any lots containing an
existing single family home;
The property owner is allowed to rent the ADUs but it cannot be sold separate from the
primary dwelling unit;
ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2017-00140
June 12, 2017
Page 3 of 7
ADUs may be sized up to 50 percent of the living area of the existing primary dwelling
unit, with a maximum increase in floor area of 1,200 square feet;
Existing garages that are converted to ADUs are not required to meet typical setback
requirements;
If an ADU is constructed above an existing detached garage, municipalities cannot
require a setback of more than five feet from the ADU to the side and rear property
lines;
Municipalities cannot require more than one parking space per ADU or per bedroom in
the ADU;
Municipalities must allow off-street parking requirements to be met through tandem
parking, within required setback areas, covered parking or extended driveways;
Municipalities must waive parking requirements for ADUs that are (see Attachment 2):
o within a half mile from public transit
o within an architecturally and historically significant historic district
o part of an existing primary residence or an existing accessory structure
o in an area where on-street parking permits are required but not offered to ADUs
o located within one block of a car share area
Fire sprinklers can only be required for ADUs if they would be required for an
equivalent addition to the primary dwelling unit;
Additional streamlined requirements relating to setbacks and other development
standards apply to ADUs that are contained entirely within existing structures;
Local agencies may not collect water and sewer connection fees for ADUs that do not
add habitable floor space; and,
Local agencies must structure fees for ADUs so that they are proportional to the
impacts on service demand.
Implementation of AB 2406 is optional. This bill creates a new class of ADUs called Junior
Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs) that are entirely contained within the footprint of existing
homes. JADUs must incorporate an existing bedroom, include an efficiency kitchen, have a
door leading directly to the outside of the house, and be less than 500 square feet. This new law
also requires jurisdictions to permit JADUs without an off-street parking space and without
utility connection charges. At this time, staff does not recommend implementing AB 2406 as
part of the City’s new ADU Ordinance because implementation of SB 1069 and AB 2299 will
allow for efficiency unit as small as 400 square feet, thereby incorporating many of the
provisions of AB 2406.
On May 31, 2017, Staff presented a study session on this topic to the Planning Commission. The
purpose of this session was to gather feedback prior to formal consideration of an ADU
ordinance. The analysis below reflects the feedback received by the Planning Commission.
ANALYSIS: After studying this issue in depth and discussing the matter with the Planning
Commission, staff is recommending that the City’s existing second unit ordinance be repealed
and that a new ordinance regulating ADUs be adopted in accordance with State law. As listed
above, the new State law includes specific provisions that municipalities must implement.
However, the legislation also give municipalities a certain amount of discretion in adopting their
respective ADU Ordinance. The following includes an analysis of the provisions that the City
can regulate as part of its ADU Ordinance along with staff’s main recommendations for
implementation of these regulations.
ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2017-00140
June 12, 2017
Page 4 of 7
Prohibited Areas: While municipalities must permit ADUs within existing structures in all
single-family zones or any lots containing an existing single family home, the City can establish
development standards for ADUs that require an addition or new accessory structure, and ADUs
can be avoided or allowed through an ancillary and separate discretionary process in areas with
health and safety risks. Staff recommends that new ADUs be prohibited in areas that the City
has identified, by resolution of the City Council, to be areas with insufficient sewer
infrastructure as a matter of public health and safety.
Owner-occupancy: State law gives municipalities the discretion whether or not to require the
property owner to live in either the primary dwelling unit or the ADU. Not requiring owner-
occupancy could create a market for investors to acquire residential properties and develop
ADUs to maximize rental income. As a result, the City could experience a surge in absentee
property owners with little to no oversight of their properties. To prevent absentee property
owners from taking advantage of this new law, staff recommends requiring owner-occupancy
for all properties where a new ADU is proposed.
ADU Parking Spaces: For those ADUs that are outside the state-established parking exempt
criteria, the City can determine whether to require one space per ADU or one space per
bedroom. Staff recommends requiring one space per bedroom to minimize parking impacts to
surrounding neighborhoods.
State law allows municipalities to require replacement parking for the existing residence when
property owner converts the garage to an ADU. The replacement parking may be covered,
uncovered and/or in tandem on the property, as shown below.

June 12, 2017
Page 5 of 7
Maximum Structural Height: State law allows municipalities to determine the maximum
structural height of ADUs. Staff recommends that the maximum height of a detached ADU not
exceed the height of the main dwelling unit to prevent ADUs from being out of scale with the
main dwelling unit. Given that an attached ADU will visually appear as an addition to the main
dwelling unit, staff recommends that the maximum height of an attached ADU be as permitted
by the underlying zone.
Minimum and Maximum ADU Size: State law gives municipalities the discretion to set the
minimum and maximum size of new ADUs so long as the established unit sizes do not burden
the development of ADUs. Staff recommends that new ADUs be limited in size as shown in the
table below. Staff established the recommended minimum (400 s.f.) and maximum (900 s.f.)
ADU sizes based on the typical size of units built to date, including those constructed under the
previous Second Unit Ordinance. As noted below, staff also recommends that the City allow
ADUs of up to 1,200 square feet in size in the Estate Density Zones. These zones are located
within the Anaheim Hills area and contain larger lots, typically at least a half-acre to an acre in
size, which can accommodate larger units.
Accessory Dwelling
Unit Type
Minimum
Allowable Floor
Area
Maximum
Allowable Floor Area
Efficiency Unit - Attached 400 square feet 30% of main dwelling unit or
549 square feet, whichever is less
Efficiency Unit - Detached 400 square foot 50% of main dwelling unit or
549 square feet, whichever is less
Studio, One-Bedroom or Two-
Bedroom Attached - Attached 550 square foot 30% of main dwelling unit or
900/1,200* square feet, whichever is less
Studio, One-Bedroom or Two-
Bedroom Attached - Detached 550 square foot 50% of main dwelling unit or
900/1,200* square feet, whichever is less
*The maximum size is 1,200 square feet in the RH-1 and RH-2 Zones. The maximum size is
900 square feet in all other zones.
Structural Setbacks: Notwithstanding the setback requirements established by State law,
municipalities have the discretion to determine the minimum structural setbacks of new ADUs.
Staff recommends that ADUs comply with the existing setbacks of the underlying zone, similar
to the requirements of the City’s previous Second Unit Ordinance, and as shown in the table
below. Further, staff also recommends that detached ADUs be located no closer to the front
property line than the front-most wall of the main dwelling unit to prevent ADUs from being the
most visible structure along the primary street frontage.

June 12, 2017
Page 6 of 7
Design and Neighborhood Compatibility: State law allows municipalities discretion to ensure
that new ADUs are compatible with the main dwelling unit and surrounding neighborhood.
Staff recommends several design standards to ensure that new ADUs are architecturally
compatible to the main dwelling unit, including the use of similar colors, textures and materials.
Staff also recommends standards to minimize privacy impacts on the adjacent properties such as
requiring that windows and doors be oriented away from surrounding properties for ADUs
constructed as a second story.
Environmental Impact Analysis: Section 21080.17 of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) establishes a statutory exemption for the adoption of an ordinance regarding second
units in a single-family or multifamily residential zone by a city or county to implement the
provisions of Sections 65852.1 and 65852.2 of the Government Code pertaining to ADUs. The
proposed Code amendment is consistent with this exemption .
ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2017-00140
June 12, 2017
Page 7 of 7
CONCLUSION: The proposed amendments are in response to recent changes to State law
pertaining to ADUs. The new State law includes specific provisions that municipalities must
implement; however, the legislation gives the City a certain amount of discretion in adopting
its ADU Ordinance. Staff intends its recommendations for implementation of the new
ordinance to minimize impacts to surrounding and existing residential neighborhoods while
ensuring compliance with State law. As such, staff recommends approval of this Zoning Code
Amendment.
