CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2016-00074)
(3175 WEST BALL ROAD)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commissionof the City of Anaheim ("Planning
Commission")did receive a verified petition to approve Administrative Adjustment No. 2020-
00444 to permit streetand interior landscape setbacks less than required by the Anaheim Municipal
Code (the "Code") for a future 11-unit apartment complex on that certain real property located at
3175 West Ball Road in the City of Anaheim, 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 0.36 acres in size and is located in the

Element of the General Plan for "General Commercial" uses; and
WHEREAS, General Plan Amendment No. 2016-00510, to redesignate the
property from the General Commercial to the Medium Density land use designation, is proposed
in conjunction with a request (i) for approval of Reclassification No. 2016-00297 to reclassify the
property from the “C-G” General Commercial Zone to the “RM-4” Multiple-family Residential
Zone; and (ii) approval of Administrative Adjustment No. 2020-00444 to permit an 11-unit,
attached multiple-family residential project with reduced setbacks. General Plan Amendment No.
2016-00510, Reclassification No. 2016-00297, and Administrative Adjustment No. 2020-00444
shall be referred to herein collectively as the "Proposed Project"; and
WHEREAS, on March 4, 2020, Governor Newsom proclaimed a State of
Emergency in California as a result of the threat of COVID-19. On March 17, 2020, Governor
Newsom issued Executive Order N-29-20 (superseding the Brown Act-related provisions of
Executive Order N-25-20 issued on March 12, 2020), which allows a local legislative body to hold
public meetings via teleconferencing and to make public meetings accessible telephonically or
otherwise electronically to all members of the public seeking to observe and to address the local
legislative body; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Executive Order N-29-20 the Planning Commission did
hold a teleconferencing public hearing at the Civic Center in the City of Anaheim on August 31,
and October 12, 2020, and continued the item without discussion; the Planning Commission did
hold a teleconferencing public hearing at the Civic Center in the City of Anaheim on and January
20, 2021 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 hearand consider evidence and
testimony for and against the Proposed Project and to investigate and make findings and
recommendations in connection therewith; and
- 1 - PC2021-006
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
Procedures, the City is the "lead agency" for the preparation and consideration of environmental
documents for the Proposed Project; and
WHEREAS, a draft Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in accordance
with CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines and the City's Local CEQA Procedure Manual to evaluate the
physical environmental impacts of the Proposed Project. The Mitigated Negative Declaration was
circulated for a 20-day public/responsible agency review on July 9, 2020, and was also made
available for review on the City's website at www.anaheim.net. A complete copy of the Mitigated
Negative Declaration is on file and can be viewed in the Planning and Building Department of the
City located on the First Floor of City Hall at 200 South Anaheim Boulevard. Copies of said
document were also available for purchase; and
WHEREAS, the City gave notice of its intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative
Declaration to (a) the public pursuant to Section 15072(b) of the CEQA Guidelines, (b) those
individuals and organizations, if any, that previously submitted written requests for notice pursuant
to Section 15072(b) of the CEQA Guidelines, (c) responsible and trustee and other agencies with
jurisdiction over resources that will be affected by the Proposed Project pursuant to Section
15073(c) of the CEQA Guidelines, and (d) the Clerk of the County of Orange pursuant to Section
15072(a) of the CEQA Guidelines; and
WHEREAS, paragraph .0101 of Subsection .010 (Setbacks Abutting a Public
Street),and Subsection .030 (Setbacks Abutting Interior Property Lines), of Section 18.06.090
(Structural Setbacks) of Chapter 18.06 (Multiple-Family Residential Zones) of the Anaheim
Municipal Code (the “Code”) require the minimum landscaped setbacks in the Multiple-Family
Zones abutting an arterial highway, such as Ball Road and Western Avenue, to be twenty (20) feet,
"as measured from the ultimate highway right-of-way line as designated on the Circulation
Element of the General Plan" and structural setbacks in the Multiple-Family Zones abutting any
interior property lines to be twenty (20) feet. Because the Proposed Project shows a setback of
sixteen (16) feet from the ultimate right-of-way of Ball Road and Western Avenues, and a setback
of eighteen (18) feet from the eastern interior property line, the applicant has requested an
administrative adjustment from the setback requirements; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission does further find and determine that the
request for Administrative Adjustment No. 2020-00444 should be approved for the following
reasons:
SECTION NO. 18.06.090.010.0101Minimum front landscaped setback.
(20 feet required; 16 feet proposed adjacent to
arterial highways)
SECTION NO. 18.06.090.030Minimum interiorsetback.
(20 feet required; 18 feet proposed)
- 2 -PC2021-006
1. The adjustment is consistent with the purposes and intent of the City’s Zoning Code
because there will be adequate separation from the adjacent residential land uses and there will be
comparable setbacks to propertieswithin the vicinityand will include installation of new
landscaping. The Proposed Project would comply with all other developmentstandards of the RM-
4 Zone; and
2. The same or similar result cannot be achieved by using provisions in the Zoning Code
that do not require the adjustment because the small lot size with two street frontages results in a
minimal amount of buildable area on the lot; and
3. The adjustment will not produce a result that is out of character or detrimental to the
neighborhood as the proposed multiple-family residentialuse is a compatible use in the area and
similar setbacks currently exist for the adjacent multiple family residential properties.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission determines that the evidence in the record
constitutes substantial evidence to support the actions taken and the findings madein 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
negate 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 this Planning Commission does
hereby approve AdministrativeAdjustment No. 2020-00444, contingent upon and subject to the
conditions of approval described in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this
reference, which are hereby found to be a necessary prerequisite to the proposed use of the Property
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 AdministrativeAdjustment No. 2020-00444
isapproved without limitations on the duration of the use.Amendments, modifications and
revocations of this permit may be processed in accordance with Chapters 18.60.190 (Amendment
of Permit Approval) and 18.60.200 (City-Initiated Revocation or Modification of Permits) of the
Code.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that approval AdministrativeAdjustment No.
2020-00444constitutes approval of the proposed request only to the extent that itcomplies with

applicable) best management practices (BMPs) to control or
eliminate the discharge of pollutants into the surface water runoff;
and provide a monitoring program to address the long-term
implementation of and compliance with the defined BMPs.
The use of the sump pump to transfer DCV from HPDE
storage pipe to bioretention with underdrain system is not
preferred approach due to potential for failure of sump
pump. Pumps are only permitted in extreme cases. In final
design phases, applicant must consider the implementation
of a gravity based system to route stormwater to
biotreatment BMPs with the goal of eliminating the sump
pump. A potential option would be to incorporate above-
ground/raised bioretention with underdrain planters on the
west, east and south sides of the residential structure if no
other space constraints exist.

measures could include the use of personal protective equipment,
including air purifying respirators, or engineering controls, as well
as site perimeter monitoring.MM-HAZ-1
11Prior to issuance of Grading or Building Permits, the property Planning Department,
owner/developer shall submit to the Planning and Building Planning Services
Department notes on plans that indicate that if potential Division
contamination indicators are identified during excavation based on
visual observations and/or air monitoring the soil will be segregated
and evaluated. Soil impacted by petroleum hydrocarbons may be
stained or odorous. Stained soil may have bluish to dark gray
discoloration. Discoloration may remain even after the product has
naturally degraded. If suspect petroleum hydrocarbon-impacted
soils are observed during excavation, the soil will be segregated and
evaluated. Evaluation will include collection of samples for total
petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and volatile organic compound
(VOC) analysis. The number of samples to be collected will be
based on potential disposal facility requirements. If concentrations
of TPH and VOCs are below direct exposure human health soil
screening levels (Regional Water Quality Control Board
Environmental Screening Levels), then the soil may remain on-site.
If the concentrations exceed the screening levels, then the soil will
be removed from the Project Site and properly disposed of off-site
in accordance with local, State, and Federal regulations.
Visually screening the soil will be accompanied by air monitoring
using a photoionization detector (PID) or other organic vapor
analyzer. In accordance with South Coast Air Quality Management
District (SCAQMD) regulations (specifically Rule 1166), VOC-
contaminated soil, if identified at the Project Site during excavation
activities, will be properly managed. VOC-contaminated soil, as
defined in Rule 1166, consists of soil with concentrations of 50 parts
per million or greater when measured within 3 inches of the soil
using a PID calibrated with hexane. If volatile organics are
measured at concentrations of 50 parts per million or greater when
measured within 3 inches of the soil using a PID calibrated with
hexane, then the excavation, stockpile management, and agency
notification shall comply with SCAQMD Rule 1166. If identified,

Department notes on plans that indicate that during construction, Division
should groundwater be encountered and require extraction, any
extracted groundwater will be managed in accordance with the
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit
for construction dewatering, in accordance with existing
regulations. The NPDES permit will require monitoring of volatile
organic compound concentrations in the extracted groundwater per
the Monitoring and Reporting Program developed at the time of
issuance of a NPDES permit. Prior to the issuance of Building
Permits, the property owner/developer shall submit to the Planning
and Building Department a memorandum or report indicating
whether construction dewatering was requiring during site
preparation and grading. If construction dewatering is necessary,
the Monitoring and Reporting Program and memorandum or report
shall identify whether effluent concentrations at the end of
dewatering increased compared to the initial concentrations. The
Monitoring and Reporting Program and memorandum or report
shall be submitted to the Planning and Building Department.
If the effluent concentrations at the end of dewatering increased
compared to the initial concentrations, the Planning and Building
Department shall require that the property owner/developer retain a
qualified environmental professional to reevaluate the potential
human health risk under the residential scenario based on the
effluent VOC concentrations at the end of dewatering. If the
qualified environmental consultant determines that the potential
human health risk under the residential scenario exceeds de minimis
thresholds of one in a millionfor cancer risk or the non-cancer
hazard index risk value of 1.0, the property owner/developer shall
be responsible for informing the Planning and Building Department
and Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board in writing of
