A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2018-05974
AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2018-00072)
(3030 WEST LINCOLN AVENUE)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (herein referred to as the
"Planning Commission") did receive a verified petition to approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2018-
05974 to permit a car rental agency (Hertz Rental Car) within an existing automotive repair and parts
sales business at that certain real property located at 3030 West Lincoln Avenue 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, approximately 1.3 -acres in size, is developed with a 16,117
square foot commercial building that is currently occupied by an automotive repair and parts sales
business (Pep Boys). The Property is located within the General Commercial land use designation
of the Anaheim General Plan. The Property is also located in the "C -G" General Commercial Zone
and is subject to the zoning and development standards contained in Chapter 18.08 (Commercial
Zones) of the Code; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in
the City of Anaheim on September 17, 2018 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.
2018-05974 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 consists 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, this 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. 2018-05974, does find and
determine the following:
- I - PC2018-046
1) That the proposed use is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized
by the Code, which allows a car rental agency in the "C -G" General Commercial Zone subject to
approval of a conditional use permit pursuant to Section 18.08.030 of the Code; and
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 since operational characteristics
of the proposed car rental agency is relatively low -intensity in nature and is compatible with the
existing automotive related business currently located on the subject site; and
3) That the size and shape of the site for the proposed 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 proposed use would be located within the existing building without any exterior
modification; and
4) That 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 streets and adequate parking will
be provided to accommodate the use; and
5) That 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 in that the proposed
use will be integrated into the existing commercial development and would not pose a health or
safety risk to the citizens of the City of Anaheim.
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. 2018-05974 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. 2018-05974 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

or approved development.
- 2 - PC2018-046

each and all of the conditions hereinabove set forth. Should any such condition, or any part thereof,
