PERTAINING TO THE LAND USE ELEMENT
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Anaheim did adopt the Anaheim General Plan
by Resolution No. 69R-644, showing the general description and extent of possible future development
within the City; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission directed staff to initiate an amendment to the Land
Use Element of the General Plan to consider redesignating the northwesterly 3.9-acre portion of a 24.5-
acre study area located between the SR-91/Riverside Freeway and Santa Ana Canyon Road, and Via
Cortez and Solomon Drive from the General Commercial to the Hillside Low-Medium Density Residential
land use designation; and
WHEREAS, the Anaheim City Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the
Anaheim Civic Center, Council Chamber, 200 South Anaheim Boulevard, on September 24, 2001, at 1:30
p.m., notice of said public hearing having been duly given as required by law and in accordance with the
provisions of the Anaheim Municipal Code, to hear and consider evidence for and against said General
Plan Amendment and to investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith;
and that the hearing was continued from the July 30, 2001, and August 13 and 27, 2001 meetings; and
WHEREAS, said Commission, after due consideration, inspection, investigation and
study made by itself, and after due consideration of all evidence and reports offered at said hearing,
DOES HEREBY FIND:
1. That the subject 3.9-acre area, which has an existing General Commercial land use
designation, is not a viable commercial site due to its lack of visibility to a major arterial highway, the long
distance to a major arterial highway (Santa Ana Canyon Road), and the size and shape of the property.
2. That the evidence presented substantiates the need for an amendment to the Anaheim
General Plan and that, therefore, Exhibit A should be adopted redesignating subject 3.9-acre area from
the General Commercia/ to the Hillside Low-Medium Density Residential land use designation.
3. That the proposed Hillside Low-Medium Density Residential land use designation is
consistent with the adjoining property that is designated for Hillside Low-Medium Density Residential land
uses.
4. That no one indicated their presence at the September 24, 2001, public hearing in
opposition to the proposal; and that numerous letters were received regarding the proposal.
5. That three interested persons spoke at the September 24, 2001, public hearing with
concerns and suggestions regarding the development proposal.
