ITEM NO. 2
PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT
DATE: APRIL 29, 2019
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2019-06000
LOCATION: 327 North Anaheim Boulevard (Fix Auto)
APPLICANT/PROPERTY OWNER: The applicant and property owner is
Colony Asset Management, LP, represented by William Taormina. The agent
representing the applicant is Amy Vazquez with Sagecrest Planning.
REQUEST: The applicant requests a conditional use permit to construct a new 972
square foot spray booth building in conjunction with an existing automotive body
repair business.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve
the attached resolution, determining that this request is categorically exempt from
further environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) under Section 15303, Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small
Structures) of the State CEQA Guidelines, and approving Conditional Use Permit
No. 2019-06000.
BACKGROUND: The 0.5-acre property is developed with two businesses: an auto
body/paint shop and car sales business. The property is located in the “C-G”
General Commercial zone and the General Plan designates the property for Mixed
Use land uses. Surrounding land uses include a banquet hall across Adele Street to
the north, an electronics shop and smog center to the south, apartments to the west,
and an auto body shop and commercial uses across Anaheim Boulevard to the east.
According to the applicant, the auto body business has been in operation at this
location for over 50 years and the car sales business for over 60 years. The existing
uses and structure are considered legal nonconforming because the uses were once
allowed by right under the property’s previous zoning designation and a conditional
use permit was never obtained for these uses.
The existing structure is nonconforming due to a zero structural and landscape
setback along Adele Street, whereas the Code currently requires a 10-foot structural
and landscape setback. The nonconforming setback is legal because the building
was constructed prior to the adoption of this setback requirement.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2019-06000
April 29, 2019
Page 2 of 5
PROPOSAL: The applicant proposes to retain the existing 4,575 square foot auto repair
building in its current state and construct a separate 972 square foot paint booth building on the
east side of the property adjacent to Anaheim Boulevard. The new paint booth location will
comply with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Rule 17 requiring separation between
paint booths and residential uses. The placement of the new building involves the
reconfiguration of the existing parking lot to accommodate the required number of parking
spaces for the uses. There would be no change to the existing auto body shop building nor to the
location of the three existing driveways. The legal nonforming building along Adele Street will
remain at a zero setback as described above.
SITE PLAN
This property is located within a “Special Setback” area in the City where no landscaped setback
is required along Anaheim Boulevard. The applicant proposes 12 feet of landscaping adjacent to
Anaheim Boulevard, six feet of which would be located in an area that is being dedicated to the
City to accommodate the future widening of Anaheim Boulevard. Until such time Anaheim
Boulevard is widened, the property would maintain a 12-foot landscaped setback area. Once the
street is widened, a minimum 6-foot landscaped setback would be provided. The timing of the
street widening is unknown at this time.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2019-06000
April 29, 2019
Page 3 of 5
EAST ELEVATION NORTH ELEVATION
The new building is designed to be compatible with the existing auto repair building on-site, as
well as with the Fix Auto building across Anaheim Boulevard utilizing similar architecture,
exterior colors and building materials. The color scheme would also be compatible with the
Colony House banquet hall located across Adele Street, and in conformance with the Anaheim
Colony Design Guidelines. A Development Summary, which includes an analysis on all
applicable development standards in the C-G zone, has been included as an attachment to this
report (Attachment 1).
The business would operate 6 days per week (closed Sunday) between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and
7:00 p.m. with a maximum of six employees on-site. The applicant proposes to repave and
restripe the parking lot to provide 23 Code compliant spaces for the auto body repair and sales
uses. The vehicle display area would be limited to one space within the existing building as
required by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). All auto body and paint operations
would be performed entirely indoors. Spray painting would be moved inside the new South
Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) compliant paint booth building, and would
comply with Building and Fire Code requirements.
FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS:
Conditional Use Permit: Before the Planning Commission may approve a conditional use permit,
it must make a finding of fact that the evidence presented shows that all of the following
conditions exist:
1) That the proposed use is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by
this code;
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;
3) That 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 either the particular area
or health and safety;
4) That the traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue burden upon the
streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area; and
5) That the granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed, if any, will
not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2019-06000
April 29, 2019
Page 4 of 5
The Zoning Code requires approval of a conditional use permit for “Automotive-Repair &
Modification” and “Automotive–Vehicle Sales, Lease & Rental” uses to ensure that the uses are
appropriate for the site, compatible with surrounding land uses, and in compliance with
Municipal Code requirements. This request is to expand the existing auto body, repair, and sales
facility to provide a SCAQMD compliant paint booth. The nature of the business will not
change as a result of the additional paint booth building. The proposed modifications would
improve current operations since all auto body repair would occur indoors and all auto painting
would occur within the new paint booth building. The architectural design of the new building
would complement the surrounding commercial uses in the area. Therefore, staff recommends
approval of the ancillary paint booth building.
The Muncipal Code requires that parking demand be calculated by combining the needs of
“Automotive-Repair & Modification” and “Automotive–Vehicle Sales, Lease & Rental” uses on
the property. A total of 22 parking spaces are required, and 23 spaces are proposed, as shown in
the below table.
Code Requirement
(per 1,000 s.f.)
Proposed Floor
Area (s.f.)
Spaces Required Proposed
Spaces
Auto sales 4 611 2.4
Auto repair 3.5 4,936 19.4
Total 5,547 22 23
The parking lot would be reconfigured to have 23 Code compliant parking spaces, including one
ADA compliant parking stall, and one DMV required vehicle display space. The draft resolution
includes a condition of approval restricting the number of display spaces to one in order to
maintain the minimum number of Code required parking spaces. No parking impacts resulting
from the new paint booth building is expected.
Environmental Impact Analysis: Staff recommends the Planning Commission find that the
effects of the proposed project are Categorically Exempt from the requirements to prepare
additional environmental documentation per California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Guidelines, Section 15303, Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures).
Class 3 consists of the construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or
structures. The proposed 972 square foot paint booth building meets these criteria. Pursuant to
Section 15300.2 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, there are no unusual
circumstances in respect to the proposed project for which staff would anticipate a significant
effect on the environment and, therefore, the proposed project is categorically exempt from the
provisions of CEQA.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2019-06000
April 29, 2019
Page 5 of 5
CONCLUSION: Staff believes that conditions exist for the Planning Commission to make
the required findings to approve this request. The proposed paint booth building would
improve the operations of the existing auto body repair business. Additionally, the number
of parking spaces provided would be adequate to accommodate the uses. Staff recommends
approval of this request.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT NO. 2019-06000 AND MAKING CERTAIN
FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2019-00009)
(327 NORTH ANAHEIM BOULEVARD)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (the "Planning
Commission") did receive a verified petition for Conditional Use Permit No. 2019-06000 to permit
the construction of a automotive paint booth building in conjunction with an existing auto body,
repair, and sales business (the "Proposed Project") at the premises located at 327 North Anaheim
Boulevard 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 0.5-acres in size and is designated for Mixed
Use land uses in the Anaheim General Plan Land Use Element. The Property is currently zoned
“C-G” General Commercial. As such, the Property is subject to the zoning and development
standards described 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 April 29, 2019 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 of the Code, to
hear and consider evidence for and against the Proposed Project, including, specifically,
Conditional Use Permit No. 2019-06000, 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 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 also finds and determines that the effects of the
proposed paint booth building are typical of those generated within that class of projects (i.e., Class
3 – New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) which consists of the construction and
location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures. Section 15303 of the CEQA
Guidelines provides examples of projects that qualify for an exemption from the provisions of
CEQA, one of which being the construction of commercial buildings not exceeding 10,000 square
feet in floor area on sites zoned for such use if not involving the use of significant amounts of
hazardous substances where all necessary public services and facilities are available and the
surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive. The Proposed Project will not cause a
significant effect on the environment and is, therefore, categorically exempt from the provisions
of CEQA; and
- 2 - PC2019-***
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 to permit the Project on the Property does find and determine
the following facts:
1. The proposed request to permit the Proposed Project is an allowable use within the
"C-G" General Commercial Zone under subsection .010 of Section 18.08.030.010 (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; and
2. The proposed request to permit the Proposed Project would not adversely affect the
adjoining land uses, or the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located
because the Proposed Project will improve the aesthetics on the Property and the overall
appearance of the project site by constructing a new building, parking lot, and landscaping, and all
automotive repair uses will be conducted inside the buildings; and
3. The size and shape of the site is adequate to allow the full development of the
Proposed Project in a manner not detrimental to either the particular area or health and safety
because the site will accommodate the parking, traffic flows, and circulation without creating
detrimental effects on adjacent properties; and
4. The traffic generated by the Proposed Project will not impose an undue burden
upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area because the
anticipated volumes of traffic on the surrounding streets will not be increased after the new paint
booth building is constructed; and
5. The granting of the conditional use permit will not be detrimental to the health and
safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim because the Proposed Project would improve the
overall appearance of the project site, subject to compliance with the conditions contained herein.
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 the Planning Commission does hereby
approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2019-06000, contingent upon and subject to the conditions

Subject: Project Description
Location: 327 North Anaheim Boulevard; APN: 035-102-26
Applicant - Property Owner: Bill Taormina
Request: A request to construct an ancillary 972 square foot building to operate as a spray booth for the
existing, primary auto use on-site, restripe parking and provide for updated circulation and landscaping
on a .49 acre General Commercially zoned lot.
Background: In 2015, a CUP (CUP2015-05842) was approved permitting the expansion of an existing auto
body, repair, and sales facility and a Variance (VAR2016-05059) for front and interior setbacks less than
required by the Zoning Ordinance; less parking spaces than required by the Zoning Ordinance; and a
waiver of street dedication and improvement requirements.
The project site is surrounded to the north, south and east by a mix of general commercial and service
uses and residential properties to the west. The project site maintains two street frontages, West Adele
Street to the north and North Anaheim Boulevard to the east.
Proposal: The project proposes to add an approximately 972 square foot, detached spray booth building
on the eastern most portion of the lot. As a result of the proposed building, an updated parking area is
proposed compliant with City required spaces. New landscaping is proposed as a part of the required
dedication for the project site. The proposal ensures compliance with AQMD standards for automobile
spray booths, ensuring they are separated from any nearby residential properties. Under the original CUP
entitlement for the site, a spray booth was approved inside the existing building; however, due to NFPA
rule no. 17, the spray booth must be housed within a separate building because the original location is
too proximate to the western adjacent residential properties. All requirements for ADA and UBC will be
followed and implemented.
The proposed 972 square foot detached building maintains a 6-foot setback from the proposed new right-
of-way. A minimum 12-foot landscape buffer is proposed along the Anaheim frontage, inclusive of the
new proposed right-of-way after dedication. On the Adele frontage, a 10-foot landscape buffer is
proposed. Ten street trees are proposed within the newly dedicated public right-of-way, and two trees
are proposed on the project site, consistent with the street tree species. The existing building and uses
on-site are not proposed to be modified. Pursuant to Chapter 18.42 of the Zoning Ordinance, parking
requirements for the project site requires a total of 22 parking spaces, where 23 are provided including
the spray booth parking spaces.
The proposed spray booth building is consistent with the City’s Design Guidelines for the Colony
neighborhood. The proposed building is consistent in color, height and massing as the existing building
on-site. The existing building is a single-story, horizontal structure, with grey color. The proposed spray
booth building is single story, with a parapet roof to ensure screening of roof mounted equipment. The
proposed color maintains the continuity of the neutral color palette. The use of grey scale for the color
allows for a passive visual aesthetic that supports the primary architecture on the surrounding parcels but
ATTACHMENT NO. 3
does not create such a visual draw as to detract from the overall character of the neighborhood. The
building proposes hardie board siding as a façade treatment, consistent with the Colony Guidelines. The
proposed landscape buffer on the Anaheim frontage is consistent with the use of buffering techniques
applied to soften the impact of the proposed building. A line of street trees aid in lessening the visual
impact of the project site. Due to the constraints of the project site, such as the existing building, and
corner lot location, the proposed parking area is designed in a way to minimize the visual impact of
potential parked cars by stacking the lanes perpendicular to Anaheim Boulevard. This will alleviate a
massing of vehicles that would occur if the parking spaces were parallel to Anaheim or angled spaces. The
perpendicular placement will result in rows that will be shielded by each succeeding vehicle. Furthermore,
the placement of the proposed spray booth building is located so that it breaks up the parking lot visual
and reduces the visual impact.
The business would operate 6-days per week, from 7:00AM to 7:00PM, consistent with the City’s Noise
Ordinance. There is a maximum number of six employees on-site. All autobody and paint work will be
conducted wholly indoors. The vehicle display area for the car sales business will be limited to one space
within the building, as required by the Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV).
CUP Findings:
1. That the proposed use is properly one for a conditional use permit is authorized by this code, in
that the Zoning Ordinance, Table 8-A of Section 18.08.030 (Uses) of Chapter 18.08, permits
automotive uses, including repair and modification, in conjunction with an approved use through
the granting of a Conditional Use Permit.
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, in that:
a. The project site is zoned as General Commercial (C-G), with a General Plan Designation of
Mixed-Use (MU). Table 8-A permits automotive uses, including repair and modification,
in conjunction with an approved use through the granting of a Conditional Use Permit.
The spray booth use is ancillary to the existing primary use of automotive services and
sales, which has operated in their existing commercial building with no code compliance
issues. Furthermore, the intent of the Mixed-Use High land use is “to allow a mix of uses
including residential, commercial, services, hotel, and professional office uses in a high-
quality environment” (LU-30), which the automotive use is consistent with;
b. The placement and design of the spray booth building and parking lot area is consistent
with the Colony Design Guidelines, in that the massing, color, and overall design are
consistent with the existing building on-site. Landscape is utilized to buffer the areas of
modification to allow for an aesthetically pleasing streetscape; and
c. The project site is not anticipated to result in any adverse impacts, including noise, as the
location of the spray booth is located farthest from the adjacent residential uses and will
be subject to conditions of approval by the City of Anaheim.
3. That 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 either the particular area or health and safety,
in that the project site is developed in accordance with City development standards, including
Zoning Ordinance development standards. The site can accommodate the spray booth building
through conditions of approval and utilizing best management practices for the operation of the
use.
4. That the traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue burden upon the streets
and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area, in that the spray booth
building is ancillary to the existing automotive uses on-site and are not independent traffic
generating uses on their own.
5. That the granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed, if any, will not be
detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim, in that:
a. The project site is zoned as General Commercial (C-G), with a General Plan Designation of
Mixed-Use (MU). Table 8-A permits automotive uses, including repair and modification,
in conjunction with an approved use through the granting of a Conditional Use Permit.
The spray booth use is ancillary to the existing primary use of automotive services and
sales, which has operated in their existing commercial building with no code compliance
issues. Furthermore, the intent of the Mixed-Use High land use is “to allow a mix of uses
including residential, commercial, services, hotel, and professional office uses in a high-
quality environment” (LU-30), which the automotive use is consistent with;
b. The placement and design of the spray booth building and parking lot area is consistent
with the Colony Design Guidelines, in that the massing, color, and overall design are
consistent with the existing building on-site. Landscape is utilized to buffer the areas of
modification to allow for an aesthetically pleasing streetscape; and
c. The project site is not anticipated to result in any adverse impacts, including noise, as the
location of the spray booth is located farthest from the adjacent residential uses and will
be subject to conditions of approval by the City of Anaheim.

PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT
DATE: APRIL 29, 2019
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2018-05965
LOCATION: 201 East Center Street (Kraemer Building)
APPLICANT/PROPERTY OWNER: The applicant and property owner is Vu Thai
of VNT Properties, and the agent is Phillip Schwartze with The PRS Group.
REQUEST: The applicant requests approval of a conditional use permit to convert
existing residential units (currently permitted as short-term rental units) and portions
of office spaces within an existing mixed use building into a hotel with full kitchen
facilities.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve
the attached resolution, determining that this request is categorically exempt from
further environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) under Section 15301, Class 1 (Existing Facilities), of the State CEQA
Guidelines, and approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2018-05965.
BACKGROUND: This 0.21-acre property is located in the C-G General Commercial
Zone and is designated for Mixed Use land uses by the Anaheim General Plan. The
property is developed with a 7-story mixed-use building. Surrounding land uses
include apartments to the north, a City-owned parking structure to the east, and
commercial buildings to the south and west.
The mixed use building, commonly referred to as the “Samuel Kraemer Building,” or
“Kraemer Building,” is a Qualified Historic Structure that was constructed in 1924.
The building contributes to the significance of the Anaheim Colony Historic District
and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. In 2015, the
property owner entered into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement (Mills Act
Contract) with the City. This Agreement requires the owner to preserve and maintain
the exterior historic features of the property, visible to the public-right-of-way, in
exchange for an annual property tax reassessment, which typically results in an annual
property tax reduction. The current layout of the Kraemer building is described as
follows:

The Kraemer Building was originally constructed as an office building; however, the Planning
Commission approved Conditional Use Permit No. 2001-04447 in 2001 to allow a conversion of
the building into a mixed-use building consisting of 20 residential units and accessory office and
retail uses. This permit was amended in 2002 to permit an additional two-bedroom residential unit
in the penthouse, for a total of 21 residential units. In 2015, another amendment to the original
permit was approved by the Planning Commission, which allowed the residential units and future
penthouse unit to be used as short-term rental units and to permit restaurants with or without
outdoor dining and the sale of alcoholic beverages as a potential commercial use within the
building.

PROPOSAL: The applicant proposes to convert the existing residential units that are currently
permitted to be operated as short-term rental units and portions of office spaces within the existing
building into a hotel with full kitchen facilities in each guest room. The proposed hotel would
consist of a total of up to 24 guest rooms, which would be comprised of the existing 20 residential
units, the future penthouse unit, and up to three new hotel rooms on the mezzanine level. The new
hotel rooms on the mezzanine level would be created by converting portions of the existing office
spaces and hallways. No physical changes are proposed to the existing residential units since these
units were recently renovated to be used as short-term rental units. The penthouse would remain
as storage until necessary approvals are obtained to improve the penthouse into a hotel room with
an outdoor patio area. The remaining office spaces within the first floor and mezzanine level would
be maintained as is. The existing nine residential units currently operating as month-to-month
apartment rental units would be phased out in compliance with all applicable City, State, and
Federal laws. The existing counter within the lobby area would be utilized as the front desk for the
hotel, providing 24/7 check-in and check-out service. In addition, the proposed hotel would
provide a number of services and amenities, such as a weekly maid service (additional service is
available upon request free of charge), a business center for guests, free guest Wi-Fi in both the
lobby and guest rooms, free cable TV service in guest rooms, access to 24/7 on-site manager,
grocery delivery service to the guests, and a pick-up and drop-off service for a fee. The applicant
also has future plans to add a coffee shop and a restaurant on the first floor of the building;
however, such plans are not part of the current request and will be subject to applicable City review
and approval.
FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS:
Conditional Use Permit: Before the Planning Commission may approve a conditional use permit,
it must make a finding of fact that the evidence presented shows that all of the following conditions
exist:
1) That the proposed use is properly one for which a conditional use permit is
authorized by this code;
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;
3) That 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 either the
particular area or health and safety;
4) That the traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue burden
upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the
area; and
5) That the granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed, if
any, will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of
Anaheim.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2018-05965
April 29, 2019
Page 4 of 5
In response to the changing hotel industry and preferences of hotel guests, the City Council
recently approved a Zoning Code Amendment (effective May 16, 2019) that created a new use
class “Hotel, Full Kitchen Facilities,” which would be allowed within the C-G Zone, subject to
approval of a conditional use permit. The purpose of the conditional use permit is to ensure that
the use is appropriate for the site, compatible with surrounding land uses, and in compliance with
Municipal Code requirements. The proposed hotel use would not adversely affect the surrounding
land uses, or the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located because
the existing residential units are already permitted to operate as short-term rental units, and these
units have similar characteristics as a hotel use. Both uses are intended to provide temporary
lodging to guests.
The traffic generated by the proposed use would not exceed the anticipated volumes of traffic on
the surrounding streets since the proposed hotel use has a similar traffic demand as the existing
short-term rental use. In addition, there would be sufficient parking to accommodate the proposed
hotel use. Currently, all parking for the Kraemer Building is provided in the adjacent City-owned
public parking structure to the east, which is managed by the Community and Economic
Development Department. The property owner currently leases 72 spaces to be used by the
Kraemer Building tenants, residents, and guests, which is 8 spaces more than the minimum
parking required for the subject site with the proposed hotel use.
Based on these reasons, staff believes the proposed hotel use is appropriate for the site, will not
cause any significant impact to the surrounding areas, and is consistent with the character of the
surrounding neighborhood. In addition, the proposed hotel use would provide a unique lodging
opportunity to the visitors, adding to the City’s tourism economy. To ensure orderly operations of
the proposed hotel use and maintenance of the historic building, various conditions of approval
are recommended, such as maintaining sufficient number of leased parking spaces, compliance
with the existing Mills Act Contract and other applicable design guidelines, and requiring the
appropriate City review of all future improvements, including the penthouse and restaurants. Also,
the applicant is responsible to ensure that all existing apartment leases are terminated in
compliance with all applicable City, State, and Federal Laws prior to commencing the proposed
hotel use. Lastly, the proposed conditional use permit will not be valid until the recently adopted
Zoning Code Amendment to allow “Hotel, Full Kitchen Facilities” becomes effective on May 16,
2019.
Environmental Impact Analysis: Staff recommends the Planning Commission find that the effects
of the proposed project are Categorically Exempt from the requirements to prepare additional
environmental documentation per California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines,
Section 15301, Class 1 (Existing Facilities. Class 1 consists of the repair, maintenance, and/or
minor alteration of existing public or private structures or facilities, involving negligible or no
expansion of existing or former use. The proposed project consists of allowing a hotel use within
an existing building, which has similar characteristics to a short-term rental use, which the City
had previously permitted the property owner to operate on the subject site. Pursuant to Section
15300.2 (c) and 15301 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, there are no unusual
circumstances in respect to the proposed project for which staff would anticipate a significant
effect on the environment and, therefore, the proposed project is categorically exempt from the
provisions of CEQA.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2018-05965
April 29, 2019
Page 5 of 5
CONCLUSION: The proposed conditional use permit would be compatible with the adjacent
land uses in the area as the proposed hotel use has similar characteristics as the existing short-term
rental use, and it would provide a unique lodging opportunity to the visitors of the City. Therefore,
staff recommends approval of the proposed conditional use permit request.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT NO. 2018-05965 AND MAKING CERTAIN
FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2018-00038)
(201 EAST CENTER STREET)
WHEREAS, on September 24, 2001, and subject to certain conditions of approval, the
Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (the “Planning Commission”), by its Resolution No.
PC2001-140, approved Conditional Use Permit No. 2001-04447 (herein referred to as the
“Original CUP”) to permit the conversion of a historically significant office building known as the
Kraemer Building to a mixed use development consisting of residential units and accessory office
and retail uses at 201 East Center Street in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of
California, which is generally depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated
herein by this reference (the “Property”); and
WHEREAS, on September 9, 2002, and subject to certain conditions of approval, the
Planning Commission by its Resolution No. PC2002-128, approved an amendment to the Original
CUP to amend previously-approved exhibits and conditions of approval pertaining to the
penthouse residential unit at the property; and
WHEREAS, June 15, 2015, and subject to certain conditions of approval, the Planning
Commission by its Resolution No. PC2015-041, approved an additional amendment to the
Original CUP to convert the residential units into short-term rental units and to allow restaurants
with or without outdoor dining and sale of alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption to the list
of permitted uses within the existing mixed use building; and
WHEREAS, the Original CUP and the subsequent amendments shall be referred to herein
collectively as the “Previous CUP.” The conditions of approval which were subject of the Previous
CUP shall be referred to herein collectively as the “Previous Conditions of Approval”; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did receive a verified petition for Conditional Use
Permit No. 2018-05965 to convert the existing residential units that are currently permitted to be
operated as short-term rental use and portions of existing office spaces within the existing mixed-
use building into a hotel with full kitchen facilities (the "Proposed Project") at the Property; and
WHEREAS, the Property is approximately 0.21-acre in size and is designated as Mixed
Use in the Anaheim General Plan Land Use Element. The Property is currently zoned “C-G”
General Commercial. As such, the Property is subject to the zoning and development standards
described in Chapter 18.08 (Commercial Zones) of the Code; and
- 2 - PC2019-***
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in the
City of Anaheim on April 29, 2019 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 of the Code, to
hear and consider evidence for and against the Proposed Project, including, specifically,
Conditional Use Permit No. 2018-05965, 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 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 also finds and determines that the effects of the
proposed hotel use is 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 existing or former use. The
proposed project consists of allowing a hotel use within an existing building, which has similar
characteristics as the short-term rental use that the subject site is already permitted to operate.
Pursuant to Section 15300.2 (c) and 15301 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, there
are no unusual circumstances in respect to the proposed project for which staff would anticipate a
significant effect on the environment and, therefore, the proposed project is categorically exempt
from the provisions of CEQA; and
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 to permit the Project on the Property does find and determine
the following facts:
1. The Proposed Project is an allowable use within the "C-G" General Commercial
Zone under subsection .010 of Section 18.08.030.010 (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, subject to finalization of Zoning Code Amendment No.
2019-00159 (effective May 16, 2019) to permit “Hotel, Full Kitchen Facilities” by conditional use
permit; and
2. The proposed request would not adversely affect the adjoining land uses, or the
growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located because the existing
residential units are already permitted to operate as short-term rental units, and these units have
similar characteristics as a hotel use as both are intended to provide temporary lodging to visitors
and guests; and
- 3 - PC2019-***
3. The size and shape of the site is adequate to allow the full development of the
Proposed Project in a manner not detrimental to either the particular area or health and safety in
that the proposed hotel use would be located within the existing building without any increase in
square footage and the number of parking spaces being provided in the adjacent City owned
parking structure complies with Code requirements; and
4. The traffic generated by the Proposed Project would not impose an undue burden
upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area since the
proposed hotel use has similar traffic demand as the existing short-term rental use and will not
exceed the anticipated volumes of traffic on the surrounding streets; and
5. The granting of the conditional use permit will not be detrimental to the health and
safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim in that the Proposed Project would provide an unique
type of temporary lodging to visitors, designed to be compatible with the existing building and
surrounding properties, subject to compliance with the conditions contained herein.
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 the Planning Commission does hereby
approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2018-05965, contingent upon and subject to the conditions
of approval set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto referred to as “New Conditions of Approval”
and incorporated herein by this reference, which are hereby found to be a necessary prerequisite
to the proposed use of the Property 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 and Building Director upon a showing of
good cause provided (i) equivalent timing is established that satisfies the original intent and
purpose of the condition(s), (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, effective upon the effective date of this Resolution,
the New Conditions of Approval hereby amend and replace the Previous Conditions of Approval
in their entirety. All references to the conditions of approval for Conditional Use Permit No. 2018-
05965 shall be to the New Conditions of Approval attached to this Resolution as Exhibit B, which
shall control and govern the conditional use permit.
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 (City-Initiated Revocation or Modification of Permits) of the Code.
- 4 - PC2019-***
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.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2018-05965
shall be contingent upon the effective date of City Council Ordinance No. 6461.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION was adopted at the Planning Commission meeting of
April 29, 2019. Said resolution is subject to the appeal provisions set forth in Chapter 18.60
(Procedures) of the Anaheim Municipal Code pertaining to appeal procedures and may be replaced
by a City Council Resolution in the event of an appeal.

LETTER OF OPERATIONS
PROPOSED KRAEMER HOTEL
201 E. Center Street
January 22, 2019
Presently the Historic Kraemer Building is being operated as a “Short Term Rental” (STR) facility,
approved by the City Council via a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), in addition to having some remaining
monthly apartment rental units. The building presently has 20 individual units with 9 units continuing to
operate as apartment rentals on a month to month rental basis, while 11 units operate as STR’s.
The building owner is proposing to convert the entire facility and all units to a hotel by way of a new
Conditional Use Permit. The area has the appropriate zoning and General Plan designation. STR
operations will be quickly phased out.
The building was substantially remodeled several years ago to modernize each unit with new appliances
and other modern conveniences and amenities such as free WiFi in both the lobby and within each
guest room as well as multi-channel Cable Television.
Facility drop off and pick up via a Tesla automobile are available for a small fee.
The ground floor contains a business office for use by guests that contains a computer and printer.
The future construction of a coffee shop will provide food services. Grocery delivery services are
available upon request.
The existing building will be modified, utilizing Mills Act preservation techniques, to add up to three
additional hotel rooms in the existing interior open space mezzanine with also a potential to add an
additional hotel room in the roof penthouse area for a total of up to 24 units. The “Penthouse” will be
designed to conform to Mills Act standards.
The open building roof top is reserved as an observation deck and recreation area for “Penthouse”
guests only. This is an ideal outdoor area amenity for viewing the city lights and various fireworks
displays.
The appropriate amount of code required off-site parking will continue to be leased from the City of
Anaheim Community Development Department parking garage, which is in an adjoining parcel.
Presently 72 spaces are leased for use by the Kramer Building while being used as an STR and apartment
complex.
ATTACHMENT NO. 2
Since the City Code parking requirements vary with the designated use of the Kraemer Building, the
existing parking lease will be modified to make sure sufficient code required parking is available for the
hotel, existing offices and any future additions, such as a new coffee shop. City traffic engineering staff
has noted that no parking study or traffic analysis is warranted.
Trash will continue to be located and removed in the existing location, which has worked for many years
while servicing the apartments and or the short term rentals. The location and size of the two
receptacles has proven to be more than adequate. The trash billing will shift over completely to a
commercial account when the apartment tenants are gone.
The existing facility is serviced with a 2 inch water line which has proven to be adequate.
Conversion to a hotel may require installation of a master electrical meter to replace the existing multi-
meters versus the present metering system.
The City Public Works Department has requested additional Right-of-way dedication of 3 feet on both
interior streets, Center Street and Claudina Street. Those potential dedications are reflected on the
newest site plan. We believe that the Community Development Department owns Center Street.
Public Works has requested various repairs and possibly new tree wells be installed. Conditions may be
applied during the approval of the Conditional Use Permit to clearly identify the locations of both the
existing broken sidewalks and new tree wells locations. The building has a basement which make extend
into the proposed new right-of-way. Since the basement is subject to potential water infiltration, special
coasting under the sidewalk may be required.
A new loading area is required by city code. That new area is shown on the site plan. A new lading area
sign will be installed at the required location.
The Kraemer building will continue to work to maintain a secure and efficient check-in and check-out
process on 24/7 basis. The guest check in-desk is located in the main ground floor lobby level. In the
future, if a coffee shop is constructed in that area, the check in-desk will be relocated to one of the
existing ground floor offices.
Guests arriving by their own automobile park in the adjacent garage and walk to the lobby. Guests
arriving by taxi or UBER, arrive at the Center Street ground floor door.
Access to office tenants, visitors and future hotel guests is provided on the ground floor via secure
locked doors facing onto Center Street. This is the historic main entrance into the building. All access
into the building, after normal business hours (8:00 am to 7:00 pm) is restricted to a special keypad
access, at the guest side of the building which requires keypad access 24/7.
After checking in, guests are provided with unique keypad access codes that are deleted after they
checkout. These access codes are coded to the guest cell phone numbers, ensuring that codes are more
secure and easy to remember.
The building is located convenient to shopping in the downtown. Staff can provide delivery services for
guests.
The Kraemer building has an existing multi-camera security and recording system, with coverage
including all interior and exterior building entrances and exits.
The Kramer building does not accept cash from any guests, all transactions are completed online with
credit cards for extra added security. This monetary exchange system has proven to be very efficient.
The Kraemer building also has an after-hours phone number that guest are able to call 24/7, if there are
any emergencies. Additionally there is an evening onsite building manager available all 24 hours.
Maid services are provided weekly with additional cleaning services upon request.
