A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2015-05840
AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2015-00121)
(201 EAST BROADWAY)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (the "Planning
Commission") did receive a verified petition to approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2015-05840
to permit and retain an existing church, performing arts theater, restaurant with sales of beer and
wine for on-site consumption, accessory retail store, and off-site parking (the "Proposed Project")
for premises located at that certain real property at 201 East 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 1.33 -acres in size and is currently
developed with a 43,873 square foot performing arts theater and church building. The Anaheim
General Plan designates the Property for General Commercial land uses. The Property is 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 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 November 29, 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. The Planning Commission
continued the item to the January 22, 2018 meeting, and subsequently continued the item to a date
uncertain. A duly noticed public hearing was scheduled before the Planning Commission on
October 15, 2018; 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
- 1 - PC2018-053
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. 2015-05840, does find and
determine the following:
1. The proposed request to permit and retain an existing church in a performing arts
theater building is an allowable use within the "C -G" General Commercial Zone under subsection
.010 of Section 18.08.030 (Uses) of Chapter 18.08 (Commercial Zones) of the Code, subject to a
conditional use permit and the zoning and development standards of the "C -G" General
Commercial 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 performing arts theater building and there are a sufficient amount of off-site
parking spaces to accommodate the parking demand for the church through a parking license
agreement with the City.
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 a performing arts theater building and a sufficient
number of off-site parking spaces and adequate vehicle circulation are provided.
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 and traffic control measures will be implemented to
ensure that traffic impacts do not occur in and around the project site.
5. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 2015-05840 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.
- 2 - PC2018-053
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does hereby
approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2015-05840, 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. 2015-05840 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.
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.
