A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
NO. 2017-05935 AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2017-00087)
(2841 EAST LA PALMA AVENUE)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (the "Planning
Commission") did receive a verified petition to approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2017-05935
to permit the establishment of an automotive collision repair facility within an existing industrial
building (referred to herein as the "Proposed Project") for that certain real property located at 2841
East La Palma 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 0.5 acres in size and is currently
developed with a 9,096 square foot industrial building. The Anaheim General Plan designates the
Property for Industrial land uses. The Property is located in the Anaheim Canyon Specific Plan,
DA -1 (Industrial Area). As such, the Property is subject to the zoning and development standards
described in Chapter 18.120 (Anaheim Canyon Specific Plan No. 2015-1) of the Anaheim
Municipal Code (the "Code"); and
WHEREAS, as the "lead agency" under the California Environmental Quality Act
(Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.; herein referred to as "CEQA"), the Planning
Commission finds and determines that the Proposed Project is 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;
and
WHEREAS, on October 30, 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 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. 2017-05935 and to
investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; 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 automotive collision repair facility within an existing
industrial building, does find and determine the following facts:
1. The proposed request to permit the establishment of an automotive collision
repair facility within an existing industrial building is properly one for which a conditional use
permit is authorized under the classes of allowable uses set forth in Table 120-B as "Automotive
— Repair and Modification", as referenced in subsection .010 of Section No. 18.120.040 of the
Code.
- 1 - PC2017-076
2. The proposed conditional use permit to permit an automotive collision repair
facility within an existing industrial building, as conditioned herein, would not adversely affect
the abutting business or adjoining land uses, nor the growth and development of the area in which
it is proposed to be located because the building is surrounded by compatible buildings and uses.
3. The size and shape of the site for the use is adequate to allow the full
development of the automotive collision repair facility in a manner not detrimental to the particular
area or to the health and safety because the facility would be located within an existing industrial
building that is surrounded by other industrial uses.
4. The traffic generated by the automotive collision repair facility will not impose
an undue burden upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the
area because the traffic generated by this use will not exceed the anticipated volumes of traffic on
the surrounding streets and adequate parking will be provided to accommodate the use.
5. The granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed will
not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim as the proposed
land use will continue to be integrated with the surrounding industrial area and would not pose a
health or safety risk to the citizens of the City of Anaheim.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does
hereby approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2017-05935, contingent upon and 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 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 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 Anaheim
Municipal 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 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.
