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 pernnit is authorized by
Anaheim Municipal Code Sections 18.44.050.060 and 18.44.050.303 to permit and retain an existing
unpermitted truck rental facility and to permit a self-storage facility with waivers of the following:
(a) Sections 18.04.040.020 - Required setback adiacent to a freewav.
18.44.063 (min~mum 10-foot wide landscaped building setback required;
and 18.44.063.050 4.5 to 5 feet proposed from the I-5/Santa Ana Freeway)
(b) Section 18.44.063.040 - Reqr~ired interior setback adiacent to a residential zone boundarv.
(miniimum 10 to 12-foot landscaped buildinq setback required;
none to 4 feet proposed from RS-3000 (Residential, Multiple
Family) zoning to the southeast)
2. That the proposed use is hereby approved, in part, to permit the self-storage facility and to
deny the truck rental facility (which was unpermitted and the petitioner proposed to retain).
3. That waiver (a), minimum setback adjacent to a freeway, is hereby approved on the basis
that there is a special circumstance applicable to the property consisting of its triangular shape and that
strict application of the Zoning Code would prevent the developer from efficient use of this property; and

•
U
that the petitioner proposes to plant the Code-required number of trees in the 3-foot high raised planter
along the west property line to provide visible landscaping adjacent to the freeway.
4. That waiver (b), minimum interior setback adjacent to a residential zone boundary, is
hereby approved on the basis that there is a special circumstance applicable to the property consisting of
its triangular shape and that strict application of the Zoning Code would prevent the developer from
efficient use of the property, because compliance with this Code requirement would create a 10-foot wide
"dead space" between the existing 10-foot high sound wall (which buffers the RS-3000-zoned property
from freeway noise) and the proposed Building B, and that said dead space could become an attractive
nuisance.
5. 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~nanner not detrimental to the particular area nor to the peace,
health, safety and general welfare.
6. That the traffic generated by the proposed use, as approved, will not impose an undue
burden upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area.
7. That granting of 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.
8. That one person spoke at the public hearing with concerns related to the truck rental
portion of the request; that no one indicated their presence in opposition; and that no correspondence
was received in opposition.
