consistency of the General Plan, as the proposed modifications to the General Plan are consistent
with Goals 1.1, 2.1, 4.1 and 6.1 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan to preserve and
enhance the quality and character of Anaheim's mosaic of unique neighborhoods, to continue to
provide a variety of quality housing opportunities, to address the City's diverse housing needs, and
to promote development that integrates with and minimizes impacts to surrounding
neighborhoods.
2. That proposed General Plan Amendment No. 2018-00524 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 that would be compatible with the existing residential development within the
vicinity of the project.
3. That proposed General Plan Amendment No. 2018-00524 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 and would be consistent with
- 2 - PC2019-008
the existing Low, Low -Medium, and Medium Density Residential designations for the
neighboring properties to the north, south, east, and west.
4. That the Property to be re -designated by proposed General Plan Amendment
No. 2018-00524 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.

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

that it considered all evidence presented and reached these findings after due consideration of all
evidence presented to it.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that, based upon the aforesaid findings and
determinations, the Planning Commission does hereby recommend that the City Council of the
