A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
NO. 2017-05937 AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS
IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2017-00092)
(1531 WEST BROADWAY)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (the "Planning
Commission") did receive a verified petition to approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2017-05937
to permit an automotive sales agency office within an existing industrial building ("Proposed
Project") for premises located at that certain real property at 1531 West Broadway, 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 0.3 acres in size and is currently developed
with an industrial building. 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 of Chapter 18.10 (Industrial Zones) and Section 18.38.065 (Automotive —
Sales Agency Office) of the Zoning Code (the "Code");
WHEREAS, a duly noticed public hearing was scheduled before the Planning
Commission at the Civic Center in the City of Anaheim on November 13, 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 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, in conformance with CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines and the City's Local
CEQA Procedure Manual, 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 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 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 Conditional Use Permit No. 2017-05937, does find and
determine the following:
- I - PC2017-078
I . The request for a conditional use permit to permit an "Automotive -Sales Agency
Office" within an existing industrial building is an allowable use in the "I" Industrial Zone as
authorized by Subsection .010 of Section 18.10.030 (Uses) of the Code subject to a conditional
use permit and the zoning and development standards of Section 18.38.065 (Automotive — Sales
Agency Office) of the Code.
2. The Proposed Project, 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 an industrial building and is adjacent to, and compatible with, other institutional
and industrial uses in the area.
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. In addition, there is a sufficient amount of spaces in the parking lot to accommodate the
parking demand for both businesses on the Property
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 is consistent with typical industrial uses that would be
permitted as a matter of right within the "I" zone.
5. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 2017-05937 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. 2017-05937, 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. 2017-05937 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.
- 2 - PC2017-078
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 November 13, 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.
