18.122.060 SITE DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN STANDARDS BY DEVELOPMENT
AREA.
.010 Site Development and Design Standards—General. Site development standards are intended
to provide for the continued orderly development of each development area, to assure adequate
levels of light, air and density of development, to maintain and enhance the locally recognized
values of community appearance, to promote the functional compatibility of uses and the safe and
efficient circulation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic, all of which are found to be necessary for
the preservation of the community health, safety and general welfare.
.020 Building Site Requirements. The size and shape of the site proposed for the use shall be
adequate to allow the full development of the proposed use in a manner consistent with the stated
purpose and intent of the development area within which it is proposed to be developed.
.0201 Adequate provision shall be made for the safe and orderly circulation of both pedestrian
and vehicular traffic between the proposed site and all streets and highways, and between
coordinated facilities, access-ways or parking areas on adjacent sites.
.0202 The proposed development shall not limit or adversely affect the growth and
development potential of adjoining lands or the general area in which it is proposed to be located.
.0203 Adequate provisions shall be made for loading and unloading of supplies and materials,
and collection of refuse in a manner that is screened from view and does not obstruct required
parking and access-ways or impact adjacent land uses.
.030 Site Development and Design Standards. Site development and design standards for each
Development Area are shown in Tables 122-E through 122-M. Special provisions are referenced in
the"Special Provisions"column.
.040 Modifications of Site Development and Design Standards. The minimum lot width,
minimum floor area ratio,maximum structural height,minimum structural and landscape setbacks,
minimum dwelling unit floor area and minimum requirements for recreational-leisure areas may be
modified in order to achieve a good project design, privacy, livability, and compatibility with
surrounding uses, subject to the approval of a conditional use permit.
-18-
.0401 Application. The application for a conditional use permit shall be accompanied by
information required by the application form.
.0402 Findings. The Planning Commission shall make the following findings in conjunction
with approval of a conditional use permit to modify site development and design standards:
(1) New buildings or structures related to the project are compatible with the scale, mass,
bulk,and orientation of existing buildings in the surrounding area,provided the existing
buildings conform with the provisions of this title;
(2) Vehicular and pedestrian access are adequate;
(3) The project is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable design standards of
this chapter;
(4) The size and shape of the site proposed for the use is adequate to allow the full
development of the proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area;
(5) The granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed,if any,will not
be detrimental to the peace,health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City
of Anaheim.
(6) Floor Area Ratio.An increase in the maximum floor area ratio is subject to the following
additional finding: the proposed use of the structure(s) shall not create a greater impact
to infrastructure than impacts anticipated by the maximum permitted floor area ratio, as
analyzed by Environmental Impact Report No. prepared for the Beach Boulevard
Specific Plan, unless such impacts are duly analyzed and mitigated pursuant to
subsequent environmental review. Such impacts shall be determined through a sewer
and traffic impact analysis to be submitted to the City Engineer. Additional
infrastructure studies may be required as determined by the Planning and Building
Director.
(7) Structural Height. Structures and projections above the height limit are subject to the
following additional finding: the proposed increase in structural height shall not create
significant impacts onto surrounding properties related to glare, shadow, noise and
privacy. Such impacts shall be assessed and determined through studies to be submitted
to the Planning and Building Department.Additional studies may be required to analyze
other impacts as determined by the Planning and Building Director.
