notice of said public hearing having been duly given as required by law and in accordance with
the provisions of the Anaheim Municipal Code, to consider the Mitigated Negative Declaration
and to hear and consider evidence for and against the Proposed Project and related actions, and to
investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; and
WHEREAS, by the adoption of a resolution concurrently with, but prior in time to, the
adoption of this Resolution and pursuant to the provisions of CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines,

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, after due consideration, inspection, investigation
and study made by itself, and after due consideration of, and based upon, all evidence and reports
offered at said hearing, does hereby find:
1. That proposed General Plan Amendment No. 2016-00509 maintains the internal
consistency of the General Plan, as the proposed modifications to the General Plan are consistent
with Goals 2.1, 3.1, 4.1 and 6.1 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan, to continue to provide
a variety of quality housing opportunities to address the City's diverse housing needs, to pursue
land uses along major corridors that enhance the City's image and stimulate appropriate
development at strategic locations, and to promote development that integrates with and minimizes
impacts to surrounding land uses.
2. That proposed General Plan Amendment No. 2016-00509 would not be
detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City in that the
proposed amendment to the Anaheim General Plan would result in residential development
opportunities and would not adversely affect adjacent land uses.
3. That proposed General Plan Amendment No. 2016-00509 would maintain the
balance of land uses within the City because the proposed amendment would provide quality
housing opportunities to address the City's diverse housing needs while remaining compatible with
the existing Residential Corridor and Residential Medium Density designations of the neighboring
properties to the south and east.
- 2 - PC2017-080
4. That the Property to be redesignated by proposed General Plan Amendment No.
2016-00509 is physically suitable to accommodate the proposed modification, including but not
limited to, access, physical constraints, topography, provision of utilities, and compatibility with
surrounding land uses because the project is designed to integrate into the surrounding
neighborhood.
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, based upon the aforesaid findings and
determinations, the Planning Commission does hereby recommend that the City Council of the
City of Anaheim approve and adopt General Plan Amendment No. 2016-00509 in the form
attached hereto as Exhibits B and C, contingent upon and subject to the adoption of an ordinance
reclassifying the Property from the "C -G" General Commercial Zone to the "RM -3" Multiple
Family Residential Zone, in accordance with Reclassification No. 2016-00293, now pending.
