Anaheim Municipal Code Sections 18.03.030.010 and 18.61.050.450 to permit a teleconferencing center
and private conference/training center with waiver of the following:
Sections 18.06.050.020.021.0212 - Minimum number of parkinQ spaces.

4. That the waiver, under the conditions imposed, will not increase the demand and
competition for parking spaces upon adjacent private property in the immediate vicinity of the proposed
use (which property is not expressly provided as parking for such use under an agreement in compliance
with Section 18.06.010.020 of this Code).
5. That the waiver, under the conditions imposed, will not increase traffic congestion within
the off-street parking areas or lots provided for such use.

egress from adjacent properties upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of the proposed use.
7. That the proposed use, as conditioned herein, will not adversely affect the adjoining land
uses and the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located; and that the

as conditioned herein, in a manner not detrimental to the particular area nor to the peace, health, safety
and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Anaheim; and that there will be no impact on adjoining
properties because no new construction is proposed and existing parking facilities will be utilized.
9. That the traffic generated by this use, as conditioned herein, will not impose an undue
burden upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area.
10. That granting of this permit, under the conditions herein, will not be detrimental to the
peace, health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Anaheim because the proposed
use is located in an area that can accommodate the proposed scale of operation without impacting
adjacent properties.
11. That the proposed use, as conditioned herein, will not cause fewer off-street parking
spaces to be provided for such use than the number of such spaces necessary to accommodate all
vehicles attributable to such use under the normal and reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation of
such use.
12. That no one indicated their presence at the public hearing in opposition to the proposal;
and that no correspondence was received in opposition.
