ITEM NO. 1A
PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT
DATE: JANUARY 6, 2020
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2016-05888
LOCATION: 1431 East La Palma Avenue (La Palma Bed & Breakfast)
APPLICANT/PROPERTY OWNER: The applicant is Rachel Holborn and the
property owner is Wellesley Hotels & Resorts Ltd, represented by Wayne Coffey.
REQUEST: The applicant requests Planning Commission approval to revise the
site plan for a previously-approved bed and breakfast inn within an existing historic
home. The site plan revisions include the addition of a new swimming pool and the
modification of a driveway and parking spaces.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission, by
motion, determine that the revised site plan is substantially in conformance with the
exhibits originally approved in conjunction with Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-
05888.
BACKGROUND: The 1-acre property is
developed with a 3,860 square foot
historic home that was constructed in
1926. The property is located in the “RS-
2” Single Family Residential zone and the
General Plan designates this property for
Low Density Residential land uses. The
property is surrounded by single-family
residences to the north, east and west and
a church to the south across La Palma
Avenue.
On May 1, 2017, the Planning
Commission approved Conditional Use
Permit No. 2016-05888 to permit a bed
and breakfast inn with indoor dining, on-
site consumption of alcoholic beverages
and entertainment for guests within an
existing historic home.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2018-05888
January 6, 2020
Page 2 of 3
The applicant is in the process of remodeling the 3,860 square foot historic home to
accommodate a commercial kitchen, accessible restroom, new dining area, and restrooms for
each of the four guest rooms on the second floor. The first floor includes a game room, lobby,
dining room, entry room, and porch. An automated fire sprinkler system was installed as
required by the Fire Department. The exterior of the home was refurbished with new materials
that match the existing historical features of the home. Entertainment would be provided for
guests in the indoor dining room on Friday and Saturday nights from 7:00 p.m. to 10 p.m. The
carport located in the rear yard is slated for demolition to accommodate the proposed pool. The
facility would be operated by three employees consisting of an on-site manager, a dining staff
person, and a cleaning staff member.
PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS: The changes to the site plan include a new swimming pool on
the west side of the building, a new loading area for deliveries, a new “Grass Crete” surface for
the on-site parking spaces, and a repaved driveway that will use the same materials and color as
the original driveway, so as to complement the historical features of the property. The number
of parking spaces would be reduced from 30 spaces to 8 spaces in compliance with the
Municipal Code.
Per Anaheim Municipal Code Section 18.60.190.020, minor amendments require Planning
Commission consideration to determine whether the amendment is in substantial conformance
with the use and/or the plans that were originally approved. The findings that need to be made
are as follows:
1. The underlying zoning and the General Plan land use designation for the area in which
the amendment is proposed have not changed significantly since the permit was
originally approved;
2. No new waivers of code requirements are needed;
3. The conditions of approval are not proposed to be substituted or amended, except the
substitution or modification to the conditions of approval of a permit previously
approved when a written finding is made that the substitute or amended conditions are
equivalent or more effective;
4. No substantive changes to the approved site plan are proposed;
5. The nature of the approved use is not significantly changed;
6. The approved use is not intensified; and
7. No new or substantially greater environmental impacts would result.
Since the site plan is being revised from the original conditional use permit, staff is presenting
the changes as a “Reports and Recommendations” item to the Planning Commission to
determine if the revisions are in substantial conformance with the originally approved exhibits,
and to ensure that the changes have no impact to surrounding properties. Even though pools are
a common amenity for bed and breakfast inns, they could potentially generate noise that would
have an impact on adjacent neighbors. To address this concern, staff recommends that the
management company post a sign in the pool area stating that quiet time hours be enforced
between 10 p.m. to 9 a.m. seven days a week. In addition, staff believes that the reduction in
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2018-05888
January 6, 2020
Page 3 of 3
parking spaces and an increase in landscaping in the front yard would be an improvement to the
original design. Therefore, staff is supportive of these site plan revisions.
CONCLUSION: Staff believes that the proposed changes are in keeping with accommodations
and amenities provided by a typical bed and breakfast inn and that the proposed changes will be
an attractive addition to the historic property. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission
determine that the changes are in substantial conformance with the originally approved exhibits.

Letter of Request
Dear City of Anaheim,
Our project at 1431 E La Palma has been approved for a bed and breakfast with a cafe to serve the
occupants of the bed and breakfast only. Since we originally were requesting to serve the public there
were 20 plus parking spots for the high volume of customers and the staff that would be needed to
serve the public. The amount of employees needed to serve is reduced from 8 employees to 3. When
we were approved for only guest use the number of spots required was reduced to 8 and we would like
to revise the original plan of 20 down to 8. This would include 1 per room(4), 1 visitor(1), and 3
employees(3). We would also like to add a pool on the left side of the building for the guests of the bed
and breakfast to enjoy. The reason of the pool location is for the view from the cafe and there will be
screen planting between the pool and neighbors fence to protect everyone's privacy.
Thank you for your kind consideration and we look forward to finishing this project and having you all
visit soon.

Vice President of Wellesley Hotels and Resorts

ITEM NO. 1B
PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT
DATE: JANUARY 6, 2020
SUBJECT: ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2019-00162
LOCATION: Citywide
APPLICANT: City of Anaheim
REQUEST: Review a modification to an amendment to Section 18.38.125
(Emergency Shelter and Recuperative Care/Medical Respite) of the Anaheim
Municipal Code, previously reviewed by the Planning Commission on November 13,
2019, to allow the City Manager to approve up to 425 new and/or relocated/replaced
Emergency Shelter beds.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission, by
motion, determine that this action is exempt from the requirements to prepare
additional environmental documentation per Section 15269(c) of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines and recommend City Council
adoption of the attached revised draft ordinance for Zoning Code Amendment No.
2019-00162.
BACKGROUND: On November 13, 2019, the Planning Commission reviewed and
unanimously recommended City Council approval of a draft ordinance to allow
Transitional and Supportive Housing to co-locate with an Emergency Shelter, subject
to an administrative approval, in limited circumstances, or approval of a conditional
use permit (CUP). The subject amendment also simplified and streamlined the Code
requirements for an Emergency Shelter. Attachment No. 2 provides the November 13,
2019 staff report.
PROPOSAL: The proposed modification to the previously reviewed Draft Ordinance
would increase the number of Emergency Shelter beds that the City Manager could
approve administratively. Mayor Sidhu and Council Members Brandman and Faessel
are working on an Ad Hoc Committee to evaluate the need for an additional 50 – 100
temporary shelter beds. To this end, the City recently issued a request for proposals
(RFP) to service providers to solicit proposals for a potential third temporary shelter.
Given this potentiality, staff is recommending that the number of shelter beds that the
City Manager has approval authority over during a Shelter Crisis increase from 325 to
425 new and/or relocated/replaced beds. This would allow the City to establish up to
100 additional shelter beds (above the existing 325) in an expeditious fashion should
the City Council elect to do so. The attached Revised Draft Ordinance reflects this
proposed change. City Council reviewed and introduced the Revised Draft Ordinance
at its meeting on December 17, 2019.
ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2019-00162
January 6, 2020
Page 2 of 2
ANALYSIS: Staff believes that the proposed modification to the Draft Ordinance to increase the
number of Emergency Shelter beds that the City Manager can approve of administratively from
325 beds to 425 new and/or relocated/replaced beds would expedite the development of
Emergency Shelters that will serve the immediate needs of the City’s homeless population.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission find that
the proposed modification to the Draft Ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA). Pursuant to Section 15269(c) of the CEQA Guidelines, the proposed
expansion of the City Manager’s approval authority relative to Emergency Shelters is necessary to
provide immediate housing solutions during a Shelter Crisis. The time necessary to conduct
environmental review would create a risk to public health, safety or welfare; and therefore,
pursuant to Section 15269, adoption of this ordinance is not subject to CEQA.
CONCLUSION: City Council reviewed and introduced the Revised Draft Ordinance at its
meeting on December 17, 2019. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission concur with the
Council’s decision to introduce the Revised Draft Ordinance, with the modified language relative
to the City Manager’s approval authority over shelter beds, and recommend that the Council adopt
said ordinance on January 14, 2020.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AMENDING
CHAPTER 18.38 (SUPPLEMENTAL USE REGULATIONS)
OF TITLE 18 (ZONING) OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL
CODE RELATING TO EMERGENCY SHELTERS, AND
TRANSITIONAL AND SUPPORTIVE HOUSING, AND
FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT THIS ORDINANCE IS
EXEMPT FROM THE REQUIREMENTS TO PREPARE
ADDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION PER
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)
GUIDELINES, SECTIONS 15269(C) AND 15060(C)(2)
(ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2019-00162)
(DEV2019-00061)
WHEREAS, on September 12, 2017, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2017-140,
declaring a public health and safety state of emergency related to the homeless, homelessness and
homeless encampments. The resolution directed City staff to take action to provide needed shelter
and services for the homeless in our community, and to address unlawful activity within the City
and along the Santa Ana River Trail; and
WHEREAS, on August 14, 2018, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2018-118 declaring
a shelter crisis in accordance with Government Code Section 8698 et seq. (a “Shelter Crisis”) in
order to participate in the State’s Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP) established by
Senate Bill No. 850 (2017-2018, Reg. Sess.); and
WHEREAS, in light of the adoption of Resolution Nos. 2017-140 and 2018-118, the City
Council has declared that a Shelter Crisis exists in the City of Anaheim; and
WHEREAS, Anaheim is working diligently to care for and assist its homeless population,
and has funded the opening of three homeless shelters in the past several months to meet the needs
of its homeless residents. Increasing the number of homeless residents in Anaheim, particularly
elderly residents who may be in need of medical or other care, could create a public health and
safety risk; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the City’s police power, as granted broadly under Article XI,
Section 7 of the California Constitution, the City Council of the City of Anaheim ("City Council")
has the authority to enact and enforce ordinances and regulations for the public peace, morals and
welfare of the City of Anaheim (the "City") and its residents; and
WHEREAS, the City of Anaheim desires to now update and amend Section 18.38.125
(Emergency Shelters and Recuperative Care/Medical Respite) of the City’s Zoning Code to
expand the City Manager’s authority during a Shelter Crisis; clarify, simplify and streamline the
[DRAFT]ATTACHMENT NO. 1
approval requirements for an Emergency Shelter; and, allow Transitional and Supportive Housing
to co-locate with an Emergency Shelter; and
WHEREAS, the City Council determines that this ordinance is a matter of citywide
importance and necessary for the preservation and protection of the public peace, health, safety
and/or welfare of the community and is a valid exercise of the local police power and in accord
with the public purposes and provisions of applicable State and local laws and requirements; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code
Section 21000 et seq.; herein referred to as “CEQA”) and the State of California Guidelines for
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 “State CEQA Guidelines”),
the City is the “lead agency” for the preparation and consideration of environmental documents
for this ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that this ordinance is exempt from the
requirements to prepare additional environmental documentation pursuant to CEQA Guidelines
Section 15269(c) and 15060(c)(2). Pursuant to Section 15269(c) the proposed expansion of the
City Manager’s approval authority relative to Emergency Shelters, and Supportive and
Transitional Housing, is necessary to provide immediate longer-term housing solutions during the
Shelter Crisis, and the time to conduct environmental review would create a risk to public health,
safety or welfare. Additionally, the proposed ordinance does not involve any activities that either
will directly or indirectly alter the environment from its base today. The proposed amendments to
Chapter18.38 (Supplemental Uses) change the approval process during a Shelter Crisis. These
changes are largely procedural and technical in nature. The anticipated result is that an Emergency
Shelter may be established more quickly and Transitional and Supportive Housing may be co-
located with an Emergency Shelter under certain circumstances, but approval of the ordinance
would not result in any direct or indirect impact to the environment. Therefore, pursuant to Section
1506(c)(2), adoption of this ordinance is not subject to CEQA. To the extent that an Emergency
Shelter or Transitional and Supportive Housing project contemplates new construction, this
ordinance would only facilitate the use of that structure as an Emergency Shelter or Transitional
and Supportive Housing and not grant any other permissions for the construction than would
otherwise be allowed. CEQA review would occur during the processing of a Conditional Use
Permit application. Furthermore, any minor construction resulting from this ordinance would
likely be categorically exempt pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 (in-fill
development) and/or State CEQA Guidelines Section 15304 (minor alterations to land).
WHEREAS, the City Council determines that this ordinance is a matter of citywide
importance and necessary for the preservation and protection of the public peace, health, safety
and/or welfare of the community and is a valid exercise of the local police power and in accord
with the public purposes and provisions of applicable State and local laws and requirements.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM DOES
ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That Section 18.38.125 (Emergency Shelters) of Chapter 18.38

residents must be able to demonstrate an Anaheim connection in order to be eligible for a
preference at the time of referral.
.05 The Anaheim preference shall be memorialized in the Affordability Covenant.
.0809 Marketing and Tenant Selection Plan Required. Prior to occupancy of any Supportive
and/or Transitional Housing Unit, a Marketing and Tenant Selection Plan shall be submitted to
and approved by the Community and Economic Development Department. The Plan shall outline
steps to be taken to affirmatively market housing units at the project. Procedures shall address
outreach to stakeholders who interface with the target population for this type of housing and as
needed, address language issues. All procedures must be in compliance with federal fair housing
laws and include recordkeeping methods that will permit the Community and Economic
Development Department to audit compliance in this area. Changes to the Plan are subject to the
review and approval of and must be submitted to and approved by the Community and Economic
Development Department prior to implementation of such a change.

ITEM NO. 4
PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT
DATE: NOVEMBER 13, 2019
SUBJECT: ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2019-00162
LOCATION: Citywide
APPLICANT: City of Anaheim
REQUEST: This is a City-initiated request to amend Title 18 (Zoning) of the Anaheim
Municipal Code (Code) to modify Section 18.38.125 (Emergency Shelter and
Recuperative Care/Medical Respite) of Chapter 18.38 (Supplemental Use Regulations) to
allow Transitional and Supportive Housing to co-locate with an Emergency Shelter,
subject to the approval of an administrative approval in limited circumstances or approval
of a conditional use permit (CUP).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission, by motion,
determine that the proposed actions are not subject to the California Environmental
Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Sections 15269(c) and 15060(c)(2) of the CEQA
Guidelines; and, recommend City Council approval of Zoning Code Amendment No.
2019-00162.
BACKGROUND: In September 2017, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2018-118,
declaring a public health and safety state of emergency related to the homeless,
homelessness and homeless encampments (a “Shelter Crisis”). As part of its actions to
address this emergency, Council amended the City’s Emergency Shelter regulations to
facilitate the establishment of Emergency Shelters within Anaheim. In January 2018,
Council approved a resolution embracing the “Housing First Model,” which outlines the
necessary steps for people experiencing homelessness to move from Emergency Shelters
to longer-term housing, including Transitional and Supportive Housing, sometimes
referred to as a “continuum of care.” In June 2019, Council adopted an ordinance to
facilitate the conversion of existing motels and other commercial and office structures
within the C-G Zone to Transitional and Supportive Housing, subject to approval of a
CUP. Subsequent to the adoption of the ordinance, on August 5, 2019, Planning
Commission approved a request for a CUP to allow the conversion of an existing 70-room
motel (Econolodge) into a 70-unit Supportive Housing development.
In addition to the above actions, staff has also been in discussion with, and recently
received an application from, The Salvation Army for its “Center of Hope.” As currently
proposed, this facility would include both an Emergency Shelter and Supportive Housing
co-located together on the same property. The Anaheim Municipal Code does not
currently allow these two uses to co-locate. In order to provide the opportunity for the City
to consider the Center of Hope’s application, and/or any other similar facility, the
ATTACHMENT NO. 2
ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2019-000162
November 13, 2019
Page 2 of 6
Planning and Building Director gave direction to staff to prepare a draft ordinance to amend the
Zoning Code to allow the co-location of these uses.
PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS: The proposed Code amendment would expand the City Manager’s
authority during a Shelter Crisis; clarify, simplify and streamline the requirements for an Emergency
Shelter; and, allow Transitional and Supportive Housing to co-locate with an Emergency Shelter. The
proposed amendments were identified through outreach to service providers and staff experience with
the construction and operation of the Kraemer, La Mesa, and Salvation Army Shelters.
Emergency Shelters
The proposed Code amendment would expand the City Manager’s authority during a Shelter Crisis.
Currently, the City Manager has the authority to approve the first 325 shelter beds developed in a
single Emergency Shelter or combination of Emergency Shelters during a Shelter Crisis. The City
Manager has used this authority to approve the 101-bed La Mesa Shelter and the Salvation Army’s
224-bed temporary shelter. The proposed Code amendment would expand this authority, during a
Shelter Crisis, to include approval authority over any relocation/replacement of the first 325 shelter
beds in another Emergency Shelter or combination of Emergency Shelters. The City Manager’s
approval of relocation/replacement beds would be pursuant to a written agreement with the property
owner or Emergency Shelter Operator, which would include a description of how the
relocation/replacement will be sequenced, including the date the existing beds will cease to be in use
and the date the relocated/replaced beds will be in use. In addition, the property owner or Emergency
Shelter Operator would be required to submit a detailed Operations Plan for the proposed new
location of shelter(s) which outlines the property owner’s or Emergency Shelter Operator’s plans to
comply with the required Separation, Facility, and Operations Plan requirements. In addition, the
proposed amendment also includes minor modifications to clarify, simplify and streamline the
requirements for any Emergency Shelter.
Supportive and Transitional Housing
The proposed Code amendment would allow the City Manager approval authority over the first 100
units of Supportive and Transitional Housing that are proposed to be co-located with an Emergency
Shelter during a Shelter Crisis. The City Manager’s approval would be pursuant to a written
agreement with the property owner or housing operator, which must include a detailed Operations
Plan. Following the City Manager’s approval of the agreement, the Community and Economic
Development Department would require an Affordability Covenant to be executed prior to issuance
of building permits, and approval of a Marketing and Tenant Selection Plan, prior to building
occupancy. All other Supportive and Transitional Housing proposed to be co-located with an
Emergency Shelter would be subject to the approval of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU),
CUP, Affordability Covenant, Marketing and Tenant Selection Plan and Operations Plan. Each of
these requirements are described in detail below.
The first step in the approval process to co-locate Transitional and Supportive Housing with an
Emergency Shelter would be the approval of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) by the City
Council. The applicant would request an MOU by submitting a Development Application to the
Planning and Building Department. The application would include a preliminary site plan and project
description that describe the following:
ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2019-000162
November 13, 2019
Page 3 of 6
1. Target population
2. Maximum number of residents.
3. Maximum and minimum number of staff and/or volunteers that will be at the facility during
any one time during a twenty-four (24) hour period.
4. Maximum number of units
5. Maximum number of bedrooms in the proposed units
6. Size and type of common areas, including recreational/leisure areas and kitchen
facilities/dining areas.
7. Preliminary plan for funding and providing “Wrap around and Supportive Services”
Following Council’s approval of the MOU, the applicant would submit detailed plans for the CUP to
demonstrate:
1. Compliance with the development standards of the Zone in which it is located.
2. Consistency with the General Plan Community Design Element and the City of Anaheim
Affordable Housing Development Residential Design Guidelines.
The CUP application would also include a justification for the proposed project including information
and details on plans to help the Planning Commission reach the required findings for approval of the
project. Staff describes these findings later in the report.
In addition, the CUP application would also include a preliminary Operations Plan that would
describe the plan and strategy for the long-term operation, maintenance, repair, security,
social/supportive services, marketing of the project, method of selection of tenants, rules and
regulations for tenants, and other rental and operational policies for the project. The Operations Plan
may be required to address additional specific needs as identified by the Planning and Building
Director and Police Chief.
The preliminary Operations Plan would describe these operations to the best of the applicant’s
knowledge, at time of application. The Planning Commission would review the preliminary
Operations Plan as part of its review of the CUP. The applicant would submit a final Operations Plan
for review and approval by the Planning and Building Director and Police Chief, or their designee,
prior to issuance of building permits. The approved Operations Plan would remain active throughout
the life of the facility. Any modifications to the Operations Plan would require approval of the
Planning and Building Director and the Police Chief. At a minimum, the Operations Plan would
address the following:
1. Staffing. The Operations Plan would indicate the maximum and minimum number of staff
and/or volunteers that will be at the facility during any one time during a 24-hour period and
a justification for the proposed staffing levels. The proposed staffing would be required to
include an on-site manager and 24-hour security staffing for both on and off-site needs.
ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2019-000162
November 13, 2019
Page 4 of 6
2. Funding and Provision of Wrap-Around Supportive Services for the residents. The term
“Wrap-Around Supportive Services” means a holistic program of support services provided
as an ancillary use to Transitional and Supportive Housing to stabilize an individual or a
family. The services can be provided in a collaborative manner by a number of organizations
and commonly include services related to mental health, counseling, medical care, drug
rehabilitation, parenting, budgeting and life skills, and educational and job training.
3. Communications and Outreach. The Operations Plan would describe the efforts that the
operator will make to maintain good communication and respond to operational issues, which
may arise from the neighborhood, City staff, or the public.
4. Loitering control. The operator would describe the measures that it will implement to
minimize the congregation of residents near the facility.
5. Litter control. The operator would describe the measures that the facility will take to remove
any litter and trash attributable to the clients within the vicinity of the facility.
Once staff has deemed that the CUP application is complete, the City, acting as the Lead Agency,
would prepare any environmental documentation necessary to comply with CEQA.
Approval of the CUP would be subject to the required findings for a CUP:
1. 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;
2. 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;
3. 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
4. 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.
The following additional findings would also be required:
1. The Supportive and/or Transitional Housing proposed meets all Code requirements; and, (1)
achieves a high level of livability for residents, (2) is designed and would be operated in such
a manner as to be compatible with surrounding uses, and (3) is consistent with the City’s
goals and policies to address homelessness and find creative housing solutions.
2. The Supportive and/or Transitional Housing proposed has living units that are of sufficient
size and design to provide a quality living environment, and the project includes common
recreation and community facilities such as, but not limited to, community rooms, community
gardens, facilities for pets, barbeque areas, and active and passive recreation areas.
3. The project site is reasonably accessible to necessary services, including grocery stores
(ideally within one mile), transit stops (ideally within half mile), and medical facilities
(ideally within one mile) and/or that shuttle service will be provided by the operator to such
services.
ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2019-000162
November 13, 2019
Page 5 of 6
If the Planning Commission cannot make these findings, the Commission could deny the project or
continue its decision to a later meeting, at which time the applicant could provide additional
information in support of the findings. The Planning Commission’s decision would be final 10 days
following the approval or denial unless otherwise appealed to the City Council.
As described above, following the approval of the CUP, and prior to issuance of building permits, the
applicant would submit the final Operations Plan for review and approval by the Planning and
Building Director and the Police Chief. In addition, prior to issuance of building permits, the property
owner would need to execute and record affordability covenants with the City of Anaheim. The
covenants would need to be acceptable to, and approved by, the Community and Economic
Development Department and the City Attorney's Office, and include, but need not be limited to, the
following provisions:
1. Identification of the affordable units.
2. The initial rent for each unit.
3. The method of calculating periodic rental increases.
4. A minimum term of 30 years on the control of rent for the housing units or other specified
term, as may be required by the project funding.
5. The right of the Community and Economic Development Department to supply, or otherwise
approve, the qualifications of the low-income households who will rent the housing units.
6. That an Anaheim preference would apply to the greater of a proportionate share of Supportive
and/or Transitional Housing units when there is a combination of funding sources for said
units, such as government-sponsored funds.
Finally, prior to occupancy of any Supportive and/or Transitional Housing Unit, the applicant would
submit a Marketing and Tenant Selection Plan to the Community and Economic Development
Department. The Plan would outline steps that the applicant would take to market housing units at
the project. Changes to the Plan would be subject to the review and approval of the Community and
Economic Development Department prior to implementation of such a change.
Planning Services Division staff has conferred with an interdepartmental team and representatives of
The Salvation Army to prepare the proposed Code amendment. Staff believes that the proposed
requirements will meet the needs of the both the applicant, staff, and the surrounding community,
while providing flexibility to scale and develop a range of Supportive and Transitional Housing that
could co-locate with an Emergency Shelter.
ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2019-000162
November 13, 2019
Page 6 of 6
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission find that the
proposed ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This
determination is pursuant to Section 15269(c) and 15060(c)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines. Pursuant to
Section 15269(c) the proposed expansion of the City Manager’s approval authority relative to
Emergency Shelters, and Supportive and Transitional Housing, is necessary to provide immediate
longer-term housing solutions during the Shelter Crisis, and the time to conduct environmental review
would create a risk to public health, safety or welfare. Additionally, the proposed ordinance does not
involve any activities that either will directly or indirectly alter the environment from its base today.
The proposed amendments to Chapter18.38 (Supplemental Uses) change the approval process during
a Shelter Crisis. These changes are largely procedural and technical in nature. The anticipated result
is that an applicant for an Emergency Shelter could establish the shelter more quickly and co-locate
Transitional and Supportive Housing with an Emergency Shelter under certain circumstances, but
approval of the ordinance would not result in any direct or indirect impact to the environment.
Therefore, pursuant to Section 1506(c)(2), adoption of this ordinance is not subject to CEQA. To the
extent that an Emergency Shelter or Transitional and Supportive Housing project contemplates new
construction, this ordinance would only facilitate the use of that structure as an Emergency Shelter or
Transitional and Supportive Housing and not grant any other permissions for the construction than
would otherwise be allowed. CEQA review would occur during the processing of a Conditional Use
Permit application. Furthermore, any minor construction resulting from this ordinance would likely
be categorically exempt pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 (in-fill development)
and/or State CEQA Guidelines Section 15304 (minor alterations to land).
CONCLUSION: Staff recommends approval of this request, as it will allow opportunities to provide
a continuum of care for people experiencing homelessness, to co-locate on sites where the Code
currently permits Emergency Shelters.

PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT
DATE: SEPTEMBER 4, 2019
SUBJECT: ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2019-00162
LOCATION: Citywide
APPLICANT: City of Anaheim
REQUEST: This is a City-initiated request to amend Title 18 (Zoning) of the Anaheim
Municipal Code (Code) to modify Section 18.38.125 (Emergency Shelter and Recuperative
Care/Medical Respite) of Chapter 18.38 (Supplemental Use Regulations) to allow Transitional
and Supportive Housing to co-locate with an Emergency Shelter, subject to the approval of a
conditional use permit (CUP).
BACKGROUND: In September 2017, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2018-118,
declaring a public health and safety state of emergency related to the homeless, homelessness and
homeless encampments. As part of its actions to address this emergency, Council amended the
City’s Emergency Shelter regulations to facilitate the establishment of Emergency Shelters within
Anaheim. In January 2018, Council approved a resolution embracing the “Housing First Model,”
which outlines the necessary steps for people experiencing homelessness to move from
Emergency Shelters to longer-term housing, including Transitional and Supportive Housing. In
June 2019, Council adopted an ordinance to facilitate the conversion of existing motels and other
commercial and office structures within the C-G Zone to Transitional and Supportive Housing,
subject to approval of a CUP. Subsequent to the adoption of the ordinance, on August 5, 2019,
Planning Commission approved a request for a CUP to allow the conversion of an existing 70-
room motel (Econolodge) into a 70-unit Supportive Housing development.
In addition to the above actions, staff has also been in discussion with, and recently received an
application from, The Salvation Army for its “Center of Hope.” As currently proposed, this facility
would include both an Emergency Shelter and Supportive Housing co-located together on the
same property. The Anaheim Municipal Code does not currently allow these two uses to co-locate.
In order to provide the opportunity for the Center of Hope and/or any other similar facility to be
considered via a discretionary application and review process, the Planning Director gave direction
to staff to prepare a draft ordinance to amend the Zoning Code to allow the co-location of these
uses, subject to the approval of a CUP, in locations where the City would currently permit an
Emergency Shelter. Planning staff is working on a draft ordinance in cooperation with various
City departments and service providers. Staff is requesting additional time to complete its analysis
and present a draft ordinance for the Planning Commission’s consideration.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Planning Commission continue the public
hearing for Zoning Code Amendment No. 2019-00162 to the meeting of September 30, 2019.

the Planning Commission meeting of November 13, 2019. Planning staff continues to
work on a draft ordinance in cooperation with various City departments and service
providers. However, staff has determined that it needs additional time for this
coordination. Therefore, staff is requesting additional time to complete its analysis and
present a draft ordinance for the Planning Commission’s consideration.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Planning Commission continue the
public hearing for Zoning Code Amendment No. 2019-00162 to the meeting of November
13, 2019.

PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT
DATE: JANUARY 6, 2020
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2013-05702A AND
VARIANCE NO. 2014-04989A
LOCATION: 1220 South Brookhurst Street (Nara Bistro)
APPLICANT/PROPERTY OWNER: The business owner is Salee Zawerbek and
Eric Adel with Nara Bistro. The property owner is M. Khouraki and Youssef Ibrahim
Partners, represented by Youssef Ibrahim.
REQUEST: The applicant requests approval of an amendment to a conditional use
permit to permit and retain the unpermitted expansion of an existing smoking lounge
and restaurant within a multi-tenant commercial center with fewer parking spaces
than required by the Municipal Code.
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 (Class
1, Existing Facilities) and approving an amendment to Conditional Use Permit No.
2013-05702 and Variance No. 2014-04989.
BACKGROUND: This 2.27-acre property is developed with a multi-tenant
commercial center. The property is located in the “C-G” General Commercial zone
and the Brookhurst Commercial Corridor (BCC) overlay zone. The General Plan
designates this property for General Commercial land uses. The property is
surrounded by commercial and residential uses to the north across Ball Road, a
restaurant to the east, condominiums to the south, and commercial uses to the west
across Brookhurst Street. As requested by the applicant, this item was continued
from the December 9, 2019 meeting to resolve issues related to Building and Fire
Codes.

PROPOSAL: In 2014, the Planning Commission approved CUP2013-05702 (Original CUP)
to permit a smoking lounge within an existing commercial center and Variance No. 2014-04989
to permit fewer parking spaces than required by the Municipal Code. The applicant is requesting
to amend the Original CUP and Variance to permit and retain an unpermitted expansion of an
existing restaurant and smoking lounge. The applicant also requests to amend conditions of
approval pertaining to security guards, entertainment, and hours of operation as described in the
table below:
Request to Amend Conditions of Approval
Condition
No.
Description Amend CUP2013-05702
6 Security Guard: Petitioner shall provide one
uniformed security guard on Thursday, Friday &
Saturday nights from 9 p.m. to closing
Request non-uniformed
security guard
16 Entertainment: The doors shall remain closed
at all times. There shall be no entertainment.
Request new entertainment
permit
21 Hours of Operation: The patio area/outdoor
smoking lounge shall be closed no later than 2
a.m. each day.
Request hours to be
extended to 4 a.m.
The unpermitted expansion includes an 858 square foot of hookah space and a 1,432 square feet
addition for bathrooms, a hallway, and storage (see Floor Plan image below). No changes are
proposed to the existing outdoor hookah space and restaurant, and an indoor hookah space
where no food service is allowed. According to the applicant, the customers are mostly
professional adults and college students. The business employs 11 full time employees and one
part time staff person. The operating hours for the indoor hookah lounge is 7 a.m. to 4 a.m. and
the outdoor hookah lounge is from 7 a.m. to 2 a.m. Non-uniformed security guards patrol the
premises during the nighttime hours.

FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS: Following is staff’s analysis and recommendations for each
requested entitlement action:
Modification of a CUP: The expansion of the smoking lounge requires that the CUP be amended.
The Municipal Code requires approval of a CUP for smoking lounges that are located less than
200 feet of a residential zone, whereas the subject tenant space is located 24 feet from the apartment
complex to the south. The original CUP entitlement stated that there is a 140 foot distance from
the residences and the business with the doors opening away from the residences. The Planning
Commission may modify the CUP on the basis of evidence and testimony submitted at the hearing,
if it finds any of the following:
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.
Code Enforcement History: Code Enforcement received several complaints due to excessive
noise, loud music and dancing on weekends without an entertainment permit and unpermitted
business hours of operation past 2 a.m. Code Enforcement conducted investigative inspections
during two weekends in March 2019 to determine if the business was in compliance with their
CUP. The inspections identified the following violations of the Conditions of Approval under
CUP2013-05702:
Table 2. Violations of Conditions of Approval
Condition No. Description
1 Building permits shall be obtained for any tenant
improvements including outdoor seating and sidewalk areas.
6 Petitioner shall provide one uniformed security guard on
Thursday, Friday & Saturday nights from 9 p.m. to closing.
9 There shall be no admission fee, cover charge, nor minimum
purchase required.
11 The permitted use at the Property shall not create sound levels
which violate any ordinance of the City of Anaheim.
12 The business shall not be operated in such a way that as to be
detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare.
14 No persons under 18 years of age shall be permitted to enter
and stay within any area of the business premises where the
smoking of tobacco or other substances I allowed, including
any outdoor seating area, and signs shall be posted at the
entrances to the patio area and the indoor smoking lounge
stating “No person under the age of 18 allowed.”
15 The restaurant shall be maintained as a bonafide restaurant at
all times it is open for business.
16 The doors shall remain closed at all times. If applicant applies
for an entertainment permit it shall be limited to the
restaurant portion of the business only.
20 The applicant shall monitor the area under their control in an
effort to prevent the loitering of persons about the premises.
21 The patio area/outdoor smoking lounge shall be closed no
later than 2 a.m. each day.

Code Enforcement’s investigative reports are featured in Attachment No. 7. Staff discussed the
violations with the applicant and on-site manager as part of their inspections. Planning staff
also addressed these violations with the applicant at meetings, phone calls, and emails numerous
times as part of the application review process. The Code Enforcement case remains active,
pending a determination on this application.
Building and Fire Department approvals: Code Enforcement notified the applicant and the
property owner of violations of the CUP on December 6, 2017 and January 23, 2018 with a citation
issued on March 28, 2018 (See Attachment No. 5). In 2015, the applicant pulled permits (denoted
in yellow) to add a canopy to the patio, remodel the indoor hookah lounge, prep room, and
restrooms, along with adding a new office and storage room. The construction was never
completed and the permit expired. Planning, Code Enforcement, Fire, and Building staff
subsequently met with the applicant on May 31, 2018 to inform them of the life and safety issues
related to the unpermitted smoking lounge improvements. On June 18, 2018, Building Division
issued a correction notice to the applicant to obtain the necessary discretionary permits for the land
use and to resubmit plans identifying the alterations by September 15, 2018 (Attachment No. 6).
Staff advised the applicant that the unpermitted expansion could only be used as a smoking lounge
due to State Smoke-free Workplace laws where smoking and food service cannot occur in the same
enclosed space. Both the Building Division and Fire Department also advised the applicant that
the expansion into the new space would require a change in occupancy for the tenant space from
office to smoking lounge. This change in building occupancy could trigger potential accessibility
upgrades and fire sprinklers within the entire complex.
Police Department: Staff reviewed relevant calls for service to the business to evaluate the
applicant’s request to modify existing conditions of approval related to a uniformed security guard,
entertainment, and extending hours of operation. Table 4 below identifies the calls for service
related to disturbances and safety for the business since the original CUP was approved. According
to the Police Department, a regular business without alcohol service has an average of two to three
calls for service per year.

Security Guard: The Planning Commission
required a uniformed security guard under the
original CUP. The applicant requests that a non-
uniformed security guard be permitted to patrol
the premises since a uniformed security guard
conveys an unfriendly environment to their
customers. However, due to reported incidents
related to alcohol, branded weapon on site, fights,
and illegal parking activities, staff recommends
that this condition remains so that their uniformed
security personnel can provide the extra security
necessary to keep the business safe for the public.
Staff also recommends that security help with
enforcement of the parking lot and loitering of patrons.
Entertainment: The applicant is requesting entertainment to be permitted on the premises as part
of this CUP amendment. The applicant was issued an entertainment permit in 2012 that permitted
a DJ, karaoke, and comedian within the smoking lounge. The applicant violated the permit’s
operating conditions by permitting dancing and music past 2 a.m. and generating audible sound
beyond the applicant’s business location. The original CUP prohibits entertainment, amplified
music and dancing in either the indoor or outdoor smoking lounges. The regulatory permit expired
once the discretionary CUP was approved in November 2014. The applicant did not reapply for a
new entertainment permit thereafter.
The applicant asserts that their business viability is dependent on providing entertainment and
extending the hours of operation for the restaurant from 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. Multiple Code
Enforcement inspections in March 2019 revealed that the applicant continued to offer
entertainment, music and dancing inside the interior smoking lounge. Noise readings were taken
at the east property line on March 29 and March 30, and these readings showed that the business
violated maximum sound levels, having decibels readings of 62.3dB at 10:30 p.m. and 62.5dB at
12:38 a.m., respectively. Since the outdoor area is not completely enclosed, sound can easily spill
over into the parking lot and neighboring properties. Lastly, the Municipal Code does not permit
an interior smoking lounge to have entertainment due to State Smoke-free Workplace laws for
employees. Because of these reasons, staff recommends that entertainment be prohibited on the
premises.
Hours of Operation: The applicant is requesting business hours to be extended to 4 a.m. for the
entire space. In the original CUP, the restaurant and indoor smoking lounge hours were from 11
a.m. to 4 a.m. while the outdoor smoking lounge would be closed by 2 a.m. to prevent noise
impacts on neighboring residences. Disturbance and noise complaints are the most common calls
for service for this business. Planning and Police staff conducted neighborhood interviews on
November 19, 2019 to obtain feedback on the extended hours of operation. Staff spoke with 10
neighbors located along the southern property line and two of the residents opposed the extended
hours, noting loud music and noise. Due to the ongoing noise issues, staff is not recommending
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2013-05702A AND
VARIANCE NO. 2014-04989A
January 6, 2020
Page 7 of 8
extending the hours of operation to 4 a.m. The business should adhere to the original hours of
operation and cease operating the outdoor area past 2 a.m.
Parking Variance: The applicant was granted a parking variance in 2014 as part of the previous
conditional use permit approval where 199 parking spaces were required for the commercial
center, including 67 parking spaces for the restaurant and smoking lounge, and 120 parking spaces
were provided on site. The applicant is now requesting a modification to the parking variance due
to the increased parking requirement for the additional square feet for the smoking lounge. The
Code requires 285 parking spaces for the complex with the addition of a new restaurant, or 292
parking spots for a new smoking lounge, and the property currently has 120 on-site parking spaces.
Since the peak hours of operation for the shopping center are from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and the smoking
lounge’s peak hours are from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m., the applicant submitted a Parking Tabulation
Worksheet (See Attachment 9) to determine the center’s actual parking demand for the smoking
lounge. Based on the study, the parking lot was heavily occupied on Friday and Saturday evenings
between 9 p.m. and 12 a.m. Approximately 19 to 55 parking spaces were available out of the 120
spaces on site; while other days of the week had 22 to 86 spaces available during the same hours.
Code Enforcement has identified that customers double park or park in handicap stalls illegally
due to its close proximity to the entrance. Staff also visited the site on a Saturday night at 11 p.m.
and verified that approximately 50 spaces were available during that time. Based on the
information provided, staff finds that there would be adequate on-site parking for the proposed
expansion and supports the parking variance request.
Recommended Conditions of Approval: Pursuant to the conditions of approval for this CUP,
the permitting of the restaurant and smoking lounge is subject to compliance with all conditions
of approval to ensure that the use is being operated in a manner that is safe and compatible with
the surrounding properties. As described above, staff believes that the applicant has created a
situation that is detrimental to public health and safety because modifications made to the building
have not been properly permitted and other nuisance-related violations continue to exist. To
address these issues, staff has included the following conditions of approval in the draft resolution:
• Within 60 days of the date of approval, the applicant shall submit plans and complete a
Building Code analysis for occupancy changes and any tenant improvements within the
subject building. In addition, all proper building permits shall be obtained for the smoking
lounge within 120 days of the date of this approval.
• This permit shall be subject to a six (6) month review by the Planning Commission,
commencing from the date of this approval. Planning Department staff will report back to
the Planning Commission as a “Reports and Recommendations” (R&R) item in order to
verify that the business is operating in compliance with their conditions of approval. Future
compliance reviews may be required if significant violations are identified in the future or
a revocation hearing shall be scheduled by the Planning Commission.

VARIANCE NO. 2014-04989A

Environmental Impact Analysis: Staff recommends the Planning Commission find that the effects
of the proposed project are typical of those generated within the Class 1, Existing Facilities,
Categorical Exemption. 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 use
beyond that existing at the time of this determination. The proposed project is a request to permit
an expansion to an existing smoking lounge. As such, the proposed project meets the criteria for
a Class 1 categorical exemption. Pursuant to Section 15300.02 (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.
CONCLUSION: To address a history of Code violations related to the smoking lounge and
restaurant since 2014, staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the requested
entitlements, provided that uniformed security guards be provided, the outdoor smoking area close
at 2 a.m., and that entertainment be prohibited. Staff also recommends that building permits be
obtained within 120 days of the date of this approval, and that a six month review be scheduled
for Planning Commission review to ensure compliance with the recommended conditions of
approval.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM AMENDING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2013-
05702 AND VARIANCE NO. 2014-04989 AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS
IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2017-00008)
(1220 SOUTH BROOKHURST STREET)
WHEREAS, on November 3, 2014, the Planning Commission of the City of
Anaheim (the "Planning Commission") adopted Resolution No. PC2014-097 to permit an
outdoor smoking lounge and restaurant within an existing commercial tenant space and
Variance No. 2014-04989 to permit fewer parking spaces than required by the Anaheim
Municipal Code (the "Code") on that certain real property located at 1220 South Brookhurst
Street 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 Planning Commission did receive a verified petition for a
modification to Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-05702 and Variance No. 2014-04989 to
permit and retain an expansion of the existing restaurant and smoking lounge (collectively,
referred to as the “Proposed Project”); and
WHEREAS, the Property is approximately 2.27 acres in size and is currently
developed with an existing neighborhood commercial center. The Anaheim General Plan
designates the Property for General Commercial land uses. The underlying zone of the Property
is the "C-GC" General Commercial Zone and the Brookhurst Commercial Corridor (BCC)
Overlay Zone, meaning that the Property is subject to the zoning and development standards
contained in Chapter 18.08 (Commercial Zone) and Chapter 18.22 (Brookhurst Commercial
Corridor Overlay Zone) of the Anaheim Municipal Code (the "Code"). “Smoking Lounges”
are a conditionally permitted use and are subject to regulatory permits contained in Chapter
18.16.080; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center
in the City of Anaheim on December 9, 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
(Procedures) of the Code, to hear and consider evidence for and against the Proposed Project
and to investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith, and the
hearing was continued to the January 6, 2020 meeting; 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
- 2 - PC2020-***
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission find that the effects of the proposed project
are typical of those generated within the Class 1, Existing Facilities, Categorical Exemption.
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 use beyond that existing at the
time of this determination. The proposed project is a request to permit an expansion to an
existing smoking lounge. As such, the proposed project meets the criteria for a Class 1
categorical exemption. Pursuant to Section 15300.02 (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 pertaining to the request for an amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 2014-
05734, does find and determine the following facts:
1. The request to permit the Proposed Project is properly one for which a conditional use
permit is authorized under subsection .010 of Section 18.08.030.010 of the Code.
2. The Proposed Project, under the conditions imposed, would not adversely affect the
adjoining land uses and the growth and development of the area because the conditions of
approval contained herein will mitigate any potential impacts to surrounding residential
properties. These conditions require, among other things, a uniformed security guard to patrol
the premises, close the business at 2 a.m., and prohibit entertainment.
3. The size and shape of the site for the Proposed Project 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 because the Proposed Project has been designed to comply with all Code
requirements, including building height, landscaping, and setbacks.
4. The size and shape of the site for the Proposed Project is adequate to allow the full
development of the proposed project in a manner not detrimental to either the particular area
nor to the health, safety and general welfare of the public because the Proposed Project complies
with all applicable development standards.
5. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 2014-05734B under the conditions
imposed will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim
and will provide an integrated land use that is compatible with the surrounding area.
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.
- 3 - PC2020-***
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, pursuant to the above findings, this
Planning Commission does hereby modify Conditional Use Permit No. No. 2013-05702A
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. 2013-
05702A are 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 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, effective upon the effective date of this
Resolution and the effective date of the resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-
05702A and Variance No. VAR2014-04989A, the Revised Conditions of Approval hereby
amend the Original Conditions of Approval in their entirety. All references to the conditions
of approval for the Original CUP and Variance Permits, as amended by Conditional Use Permit
No. 2013-05702A, shall be to the Revised Conditions of Approval attached to this Resolution
as Exhibit B, which shall control and govern Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-05702A and
Variance No. VAR2014-04989A; and
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

PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
DATE: NOVEMBER 3, 2014
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2013-05702 AND
VARIANCE NO. 2014-04989
LOCATION: 1220 South Brookhurst Street (Nara Bistro)
APPLICANT/PROPERTY OWNER: The applicant is Salee Zawerbek and the
property owners are Mohamed Khouraki & Youssef Ibrahim Partners.
REQUEST: The applicant is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to
expand an existing restaurant and indoor smoking lounge and to permit and retain an
outdoor smoking lounge. The applicant is also requesting approval of a variance to
allow fewer parking spaces than required by the Zoning Code.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the
attached resolution, determining that this request is categorically exempt from further
environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Class 1,
Existing Facilities) and approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2013-05702 and
Variance No. 2014-04989.
BACKGROUND: This 2.27-acre property is developed with a commercial center.
The property is located in the General Commercial (C-G) zone and Brookhurst
Commercial Corridor (BCC) overlay zone. The General Plan designates this property
for General Commercial land uses. The property is surrounded by commercial and
residential uses to the north across Ball Road, a restaurant to the east, condominiums
to the south, and commercial uses to the west across Brookhurst Street.
In 2010, this business was approved as a smoking lounge through an administrative
regulatory permit. Food service inside the restaurant was allowed at the time. Since
the approval of the administrative permit, the City Attorney has advised staff that
enforcement of State labor laws relating to workplace smoking falls within the City’s
jurisdiction. State labor laws include the prohibition of smoking indoors where food
and beverages are served. Staff is now actively enforcing the prohibition of food
service inside all indoor smoking lounges.
This conditional use permit request was initiated through Code Enforcement actions
pertaining to the unpermitted outdoor smoking lounge and outdoor heating of coals.

VARIANCE NO. 2014-04989 AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2013-05702
November 3, 2014
Page 2 of 3
PROPOSAL: The applicant proposes to modify the floor plan and operations of the existing
restaurant and smoking lounge in order to comply with the State Smoke-free Workplace laws. The
request includes an indoor restaurant that would serve food only; a separate indoor smoking
lounge; and an outdoor smoking lounge with service of food. The restaurant and indoor smoking
lounge would be open from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. daily. The outdoor smoking lounge is
proposed to close at 2:00 a.m. No sales of alcoholic beverages are proposed within the smoking
lounge or the restaurant.
The following changes to the existing business operations and plans are proposed:
Modify the existing smoking lounge and restaurant to become an 884 square foot indoor
restaurant where no smoking would be permitted.
Create a 1,364 square foot indoor smoking lounge adjacent to, but separate from, the
restaurant where no food or drink sales or service would be permitted.
Create a 959 square foot outdoor smoking lounge with sales and service of food to be
surrounded by a six foot high wrought iron fence.
Utilize an adjacent tenant space for storage.
ANALYSIS: A conditional use permit is required for a smoking lounge located within 200 feet of a
residential zone and for any outdoor smoking lounge. The nearest portion of the smoking lounge
tenant space would be approximately 25 feet from the closest residential zone boundary to the south
of the property. However, this portion of the tenant space would be used for storage purposes only.
The outdoor and indoor portions of the smoking lounge would be located at least 70 feet from the
residential zone boundary and approximately 140 feet from the nearest residential dwelling. The
commercial building, two drive aisles and two rows of residential carports act as a buffer between
the smoking lounge and the adjacent residences. Staff believes that the 140 foot distance from the
residences and the intervening structures provide adequate protection for the adjacent residences
from noise, odor or other potential impacts from the smoking lounge. No live or amplified music or
entertainment is proposed or allowed outdoors. Entertainment would be permitted in the restaurant
space, but would not be allowed within the interior smoking lounge because of the State Smoke-free
Workplace laws.
There have been 11 calls for Police service to this business in the last year. These calls consisted of
5 disturbances, 2 trespasses, 1 fight, 1 assault, 1 criminal threat and 1 mental case. Police
Department staff does not consider these calls to be extraordinary for this location and therefore, do
not object to this proposal. Staff conducted an inspection of the commercial center and found it to
be properly maintained. The smoking lounge has been operating in a manner compatible with the
area and surrounding businesses.
Parking: The restaurant and smoking lounge are located in a commercial center with various types
of commercial, office and retail uses. The majority of these businesses operate during regular
weekday business hours. The restaurant and smoking lounge would be open during weekday
business hours; however, peak periods would occur at night and on weekends.
VARIANCE NO. 2014-04989 AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2013-05702
November 3, 2014
Page 3 of 3
The Zoning Code requires 199 parking spaces for the commercial center, including 67 parking
spaces for the restaurant and smoking lounge. A total of 120 parking spaces are provided on site.
The property originally had more parking spaces which were removed with the construction of the
service station at the southeast corner of Ball Road and Brookhurst Street. The peak parking
demand for the smoking lounge and restaurant occurs after 8:00 p.m. on weekends. The majority of
the businesses within the center are closed by 7:00 p.m. with the exception of three restaurants and
a smoke shop which close between 9:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. Because the subject business
primarily operates during the off-peak hours for the center, the parking spaces available on-site are
adequate to accommodate the parking demand of the proposed smoking lounge and the commercial
center. Staff has verified the availability of adequate parking during site inspections conducted on
weekends after 10:00 p.m.
PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE COMMERCIAL CENTER DURING PEAK
SMOKING LOUNGE HOURS OF OPERATION
Use After 8 p.m. After 9 p.m. After 10 p.m.
Nara Bistro/Smoking Lounge 46 46 46
Fast Food Restaurants 10 0 0
Smoke Shop 5 5 0
Restaurant 38 38 0
Total Required 99 89 46
CONCLUSION: Staff believes that the request to permit an expansion of the existing restaurant
and indoor smoking lounge and create a new outdoor smoking lounge is compatible with the
adjacent businesses and the surrounding area. The restaurant and outdoor smoking lounge would
operate during times when the other businesses will be closed, freeing up parking for Nara Bistro.
Therefore, staff recommends approval of this request.

Introduction
Nara Bistro is a Mediterranean restaurant and hookah lounge that has successfully
served the Anaheim community for nearly 8 years under the proprietorship of Salee
Zawerbek, who purchased the business on October 1, 2010. We pride ourselves on a
culturally authentic atmosphere and meticulously high standard of service; and our
adherence to these principles has largely attributed to a growing demand that we aim
to fulfill through the proposed expansion and operating conditions outlined in this
letter.
History
Hookah surfaced in its modern form on or about the 15th Century, when Indian Glass
manufacturing began as a result of the exporting of glass to India through the British

East India Company. Its popularity rose under the Ottoman Empire, where it became a
status symbol of the time, and was commonly smoked after royal dinners and at
diplomatic functions. Since its fruition, Nara Bistro has aimed to maintain the level of
esteem once associated with this favorable pastime. “Nara” is a casual Arabic term
meaning “flame” and, in certain cases, implies “charcoal” as well. When a hookah is
served, our trained hookah servers place “Nara” atop the customer’s chosen flavor. This
process helped coin our original slogan: There is no hookah without Nara™. Our
hookah, equally delectable cuisine, and agreeable atmosphere, combine to create the
experience that embodies the essence of Nara Bistro. What began as a desire to share a
rich piece of history and culture with the Anaheim community has become one of the
longest-serving establishments of its kind today.
Clientele
Our customers consist mostly of professional adults, families, and college students
between 24 and 45 years old. We allow guests to stay for as long as they’d like and do
not pressure them to purchase more goods in return, but they typically stay between 1
and 2.5 hours.

Proposal: Security
Due to our demographic, business environment, and peak hours of operation, we
propose an amendment to condition #6 of our Conditional Use Permit. We would like
to provide one security guard on Friday and Saturday from 9:00 PM until closing and
remove the condition that he/she be uniformed. We will require our security to be
professionally dressed and carry a copy of their certification with them during those
times and we believe that a more comfortable, safe, and respectable environment will
result from this modification.
Proposal: Entertainment
Because our table turnover rate is relatively slow, we must compensate for this in order
to remain a profitable business. Nara Bistro would like to offer a wider range of
contracted entertainment given that it is compliant with our entertainment permit and
does not disturb surrounding businesses or residences. We propose an amendment to
condition #16 of our Conditional Use Permit to allow for contracted entertainment in
the indoor smoking lounge and outdoor smoking patio.
Nara Bistro – Letter of Intent
Page 5 of 6
Proposal: Admission & Minimum Charges
In order to compensate for current and future entertainment costs, we propose an
amendment to condition #9 of our Conditional Use Permit to allow for admission fees
(such as ticket sales) and minimum purchase requirements, which aids in compensating
for our slow table turnover rate.
Proposal: Door Closure
Our restaurant area cannot be accessed by our indoor smoking lounge. It only shares a
connection to our outdoor smoking patio. We believe that ventilation on our outdoor
smoking patio is sufficient enough to remove condition #25 of our Conditional Use
Permit.
Proposal: Minimum Age Requirement in Select Areas
Nara Bistro would like to provide an environment that can be enjoyed by families. We
propose an amendment to condition #14 of our Conditional Use Permit to allow for
accompanied minors on the outdoor smoking patio so long as they are not smoking.
Because it is outdoors, ventilation is not an issue, and under no circumstances would a
legal minor be permitted to enter the indoor smoking lounge. A customer’s violation of
our proposed policy would result in a permanent ban from entering our premises.
Proposal: Parking Variance
We believe the parking stalls available in our commercial retail center will sufficiently
meet the demand of the proposed expansion and use. A parking justification letter with
parking study and parking tabulation has been submitted to support our claim.

RE: PARKING VARIANCE JUSTIFCATION LETTER FOR: NARA BISTRO
LOCATED AT: 1220 S. BROOKHURST STREET, ANAHEIM, CA 92801
Introduction
Please consider the information outlined in this letter as our proposed justification for a
parking variance. Nara Bistro is a Mediterranean restaurant and hookah lounge that has
successfully served the Anaheim community for nearly 8 years under the proprietorship
of Salee Zawerbek. As we expand to meet the demands of our growing customer base,
it is our intent to remain compliant with all city codes and regulations. The City of
Anaheim Municipal Code’s parking requirement for the proposed use is 26 stalls based
on the attached parking tabulation for the entire property. The purpose of this letter is
to maintain our claim that the 120 parking stalls available to the commercial retail
center in which we operate will still sufficiently serve the center’s collective needs
without adversely affecting the adjoining land uses.

Other Circumstances
Other circumstances exist at the project site and/or the proposed use that further
reduces the parking demand and includes:
Circumstance Available? Description
Site Served by Public
Transportation?
Yes Bus stop
Carpool/Vanpool Program
Available to Employees?
No n/a
Bike Racks Available at the
Project site?
No n/a
Other Circumstances?
Yes Peak times for Nara Bistro are outside the operating
hours of most other businesses in the center.
Outdoor Smoking expansion is already in use, so the
parking study includes the additional demand.
Analysis
The highest observed parking demand at the existing project site is 101 stalls, which is
sufficiently less than the 120 available stalls. Since our peak times are outside the
operating hours of the all other businesses in the retail center, the current stalls will
adequately accommodate the center’s actual demand. We’d also like to note that the
survey was conducted while the proposed expansion was in use, so we do not foresee
an increase in average traffic.
