WHEREAS, the City Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center

as required by law and in accordance with the provisions of the Anaheim Municipal Code, Chapter 18.03,
to hear and consider evidence for and against said proposed conditional use permit and to investigate
and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; and that the hearing was continued
from the May 20, 2002 Planning Commission meeting; and
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,
~toes f~r~d and ctetermine the folfowing-facts: - - - -
1. That the proposed use is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by
Anaheim Municipal Code Sections 18.03.030.010, 18.45.050.085 and 18.45.050.135 to permit a
commercial retail center and to retain an un-permitted automotive repair business and banquet facility
with waiver of the following:
Sections 18.06.050.020.022 - Minimum number of parkinq spaces.
18.06.050.020.022.0222 (150 spaces required;
,18.06.050.020.026.0262 6 sqaces proposed and not recommended by the City Tra~c and
18.06.080 Transportation Manager)
and 18.45.066.050
2. That the waiver of minimum number of parking spaces is hereby denied on the basis that
approval would cause significantly fewer off-street parking spaces to be provided for the uses on this
property than the number of spaces necessary to accommodate all vehicles attributable to such uses.
3. That approval of the waiver would increase the demand and competition for parking
spaces upon the public streets and adjacent private properties in the immediate vicinity of the proposal.
4. That approval of the waiver would increase traffic congestion within the off-street parking
areas or lots provided for the proposed uses.
5. That the proposed automotive repair use is hereby denied on the basis that approval
would adversely affect the adjoining residential land uses and restrict the growth and development of the
area in which it is proposed to be located; and that the over-concentration of uses on this site, consisting
of automotive repair, a banquet hall plus other retail uses in a commercial retail center, combined with the
inadequate number of parking spaces will adversely affect the surrounding residential land uses.
6. That the size and shape of the site for the proposal is not adequate to allow full
development of all the proposed uses (automotive repair, banquet hall and commercial retail center) in a
manner not detrimental to the particular area nor to the peace, health, safety and genera! welfare.

• ~
7. That the traffic generated by the proposed automotive repair imposes an undue burden
upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry traffic in the area; and that the traffic
generated by the banquet hall in addition to a commercial retail center imposes an undue burden on
Anaheim Boulevard and surrounding streets due to the lack of on-site parking.
8. That granting of this conditional use permit to permit a commercial retail center and to
retain an automotive repair facility and banquet hall would be detrimental to the peace, health, safety and
general welfare of the citizens of the City of Anaheim.
9. That six people spoke in opposition to the proposal at the May 20, 2002 public hearing;
that no one indicated their presence in opposition at the June 3, 2002 hearing; and that five letters and e-
mails in opposition were received.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FINDING: The Planning Director or his
authorized representative has determined that the proposed project falls within the definition of
Categorical Exemptions, Class 1, as defined in the State of California Environmental Impact Report
("EIR"} Guidelines and is, therefore, categorically exempt from the requirement to prepare an EIR.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Anaheim City Planning Commission
does hereby deny subject Petition for Conditional Use Permit, on the basis of the aforementioned
findings.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION was adopted at the Planning Commission meeting of
June 3, 2002.
