CR4923PK.doc -1- PC2000-115
• •
WHEREAS, said 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,
does find and determine the following facts:
1. That the proposed use is properly one for which a conditional use permit is
authorized by Anaheim Municipal Code Section 18.21.050.040 to construct an employee parking lot for
an existing automobile dealership with waivers of the following:
(a) Sections 18.21.063.020 - Permitted encroachments into required vards.
and 18.21.064 (Parkinq spaces not permitted to encroach into required yards;
parking spaces proposed in 10-foot yard adjacent to commercial
property to southeast)
(b) Sections 18.04.060.050 - Repuired parkinq lot landscapinq.
and 18.06.030.040 (11 trees and 528 sq.ft. of landscaped planter area required;
none proposed)
2. That waiver (a), permitted encroachments into required yards, is hereby approved
on the basis of the unique size and shape of the property, and because the proposed parking use is
commercial in nature and will abut an existing commercial use.
3. That waiver (b), required parking lot landscaping, is hereby approved, in part,
permitting less landscaping than required on the basis of the unique shape of the property, but because
this property is visible to the SR-57 Freeway, the northbound freeway off-ramp and Ball Road, there is
sufficient area to plant four broad-headed trees in diamond-shaped tree wells along the west property line
of subject parking lot where the fence faces the freeway off-ramp.
4. That there are special circumstances applicable to the property such as size, shape,
topography, location and surroundings, which do not apply to other identically zoned properties in the
vicinity.
5. That strict application of the Zoning Code deprives the property of privileges enjoyed
by other properties under identical zoning classification in the vicinity.
6. That the proposed use, as approved, will not adversely affect the adjoining land
uses and the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located.
7. That the size and shape of the site for the proposed use, as approved, is adequate
to allow full development of the proposal in a manner not detrimental to the particular area nor to the
peace, health, safety and general welfare.
8. That 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.
9. That granting this conditional use permit, under the conditions imposed, will not be
detrimental to the peace, health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Anaheim.
10. That no one indicated their presence at the public hearing in opposition to the
proposal; and that no correspondence was received in opposition.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONM'~ENTAL QUALITY ACT FINDING: That the Anaheim City
Planning Commission has reviewed the proposal to construct an employee parking lot for an existing
automobile dealership (Hardin Honda) with waivers of permitted encroachment into required yards and
required parking lot landscaping on an irregularly-shaped, 0.79-acre property located at the southeast
corner of Ball Road and the SR-57/Orange Freeway northbound off-ramp (the property is a portion of the

project will have a significant effect on the environment.
