Anaheim Municipal Code Section 18.41.050.070 to wit: to permit a church within an existing two-story
office building with waivers of the following:
(a) Sections 18.04.042.020 - Required setback for institutional uses adjacent to a
and 18.41.060 residential zone boundary.

no landscapinq existinq alonq the westerlv 125 feet of the
north property line adjacent to RS-7200 (Residential, Single-
Family) zoning)
(b) Sections 18.06.050.020.026.266 - Minimum number of parkinq spaces.
18.41.066.050 (33 spaces required; 29 spaces existing and proposed)
and 18.060.080 _
2. That waiver (a), required setback for institutional uses adjacent to a residential zone
boundary, is hereby approved on the basis that there are special circumstances applicable to the property
such as size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, which do not apply to other identically zoned
properties in the vicinity; and that strict application of the Zoning Code would deprive the property of
privileges enjoyed by other properties under identical zoning classification in the vicinity.

3. That waiver (b), minimum number of parking spaces, will not, under the conditions

such spaces necessary to accommodate all vehicles attributable to such use under the normal and
reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation of the use.
4. That the parking waiver, under the conditions imposed, will not increase the demand and
competition for parking spaces upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of the proposed use.

competition for parking spaces upon adjacent private property in the immediate vicinity of the proposed
use.

congestion within the off-street parking areas or lots provided for the proposed use.

vehicular ingress to or egress from adjacent properties upon the public streets in the immediate
vicinity of the proposed use.
8. That the proposed use, under the conditions imposed, will not adversely affect the
adjoining land uses and the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located.

is adequate to allow full development of the proposal in a manner not detrimental to the particular area

impose an undue burden upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the
area.
11. That granting Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-04756 for a period of 18 months will not,
under the conditions imposed, be detrimental to the peace, health, safety and general welfare of the
citizens of the City of Anaheim; and that during the 18-month period the petitioner will, as discussed
during the Planning Commission public hearing, seek a permanent solution to the parking situation such
as providing off-site parking in closer proximity to the church as recommended by the Traffic and
Transportation Manager and in compliance with city criteria.
12. That no one indicated their presence at the public hearing in opposition to the proposal;
and that no correspondence was received in opposition.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FINDING: That the Anaheim City
