A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION
AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. PC95-2 ADOPTED IN CONNECTION WITH
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 3732
WHEREAS, on January 9, 1995, the Anaheim City Planning Commission did, by its Resolution
No. PC95-2, grant Conditional Use Permit No. 3732 to convert a service station repair bay area in an existing
service station at the northeast corner of Ball Road and State College Boulevard (1198 South State College)
to a mini-market with the retail sale of beer and wine for off-premises sale and consumption; and
WHEREAS, the property is developed with a 1,817 square foot service station and
convenience market with two pump island canopies; that the zoning is CL (Commercial, Limited); and that
the Land Use Element of the Anaheim General Plan designates the property for General Commercial land
uses; and
WHEREAS, the petitioner has requested an amendment to this conditional use permit
consisting of waiver of minimum structural setback abutting an arterial highway and modification of the
previously approved exhibits to raise the height of two existing service station pump island canopies (from 13
feet to 14'/2 feet as measured to the underside of the canopies, and 18 feet as measured to the top of the
canopies) to accommodate high profile vehicles; and
WHEREAS, the City Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in the
-.---- City of Anah~im on O~tob~~ 6, -~003,-at 1:30-p.m.,-notiEe of said public-b€aring having-b~~n duly give~ 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 amendment and to investigate and make findings
and recommendations in connection therewith; 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, does find and
determine the following facts: ,
1. That the petitioner requests an amendment to this conditional use permit under authoriry of
Code Section 18.03.092 for waiver of the following to raise the height of two existing pump island canopies at
a previously-approved service station with a convenience market with the retail sale of beer and wine for off-
premises:
Section 18.44.063.010 - Minimum structural setback abuttinq an arterial hiqhway.
(10 feet, fully landscaped, required;
none to 3 feet existing and proposed along Ball Road and State College
Boulevard)
2. That the waiver of minimum structural setback abutting an arterial highway is hereby approved
due to a special circumstance applicable to this property consisting of its location at the intersection of Ball
Road and State College Boulevard which was designated a Critical Intersection 31 years after the service
station and pump island canopies were approved in 1961; that when the service station and pump island
canopies were constructed, the development complied with the required structural setbacks along both
arterial highways and no waivers were necessary; that the Circulation Element of the General Plan was
subsequently amended to designate this intersection, among others in the city, a Critical Intersection which
included wider ultimate planned rights-of-way along both highways (53-foot to 65-foot half widths as
measured from the centerline); and, further, that this property's dual frontage on two primary arterial
highways effectively doubles the impact of the planned ultimate right-of-way changes, creating a hardship for
the existing service station that does not apply to other properties in the vicinity.

3. That strict application of the Zoning Code deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by other
properties under identical zoning classification in the vicinity.
4. That amending this conditional use permit and approving the waiver, under the conditions
imposed, is reasonably necessary to protect the public peace, health, safety or general welfare, and
necessary to permit reasonable operation under the conditional use permit as previously granted.
5. That no one indicated their presence at the public hearing in opposition to the proposal; and
that no correspondence was received in opposition.
CALIFORNIA ENVtRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FINDING: That the Anaheim City Planning
Commission has reviewed the request to amend this conditional use permit by waiver of minimum structural
setback abutting an arterial highway in connection with a previously-approved service station with a mini-
market with the off-premises sale and consumption of beer and wine at 1198 South State College Boulevard,
and to amend the previously approved exhibits to raise the pump island canopy heights of two existing
canopies to accommodate high profile vehicles; and does hereby find that the Negative Decfaration
previously approved in connection with Conditional Use Permit No. 3732 is adequate to serve as the
required environmental documentation in connection with this request upon finding that the declaration
reflects the independent judgment of the lead agency and that it has considered the previously approved
Negative Declaration together with any comments received during the public review process and further
finding on the basis of the initial study and any comments received that there is no substantial evidence that
the project will have a significant effect on the environment.
