2. That subject property consists of two vacant parcels in the Southern California Edison
overhead easement (1610 and 1620 South Claudina Way) and a third parcel developed with an industrial
buildirig and associated parking (1640 South Claudina Way); that the zoning is Limited Industrial ("ML");
and that reclassifications have been approved for the South Anaheim Boulevard Corridor ("(SABC)") and
Sports Entertainment ("(SE)") Overlay Zones but that zoning ordinances have not been adopted to rezone
these parcels.
3. That waiver (a), required recorded parking agreement for off-site parking, is hereby
denied on the basis that it was deleted following public notification.
4. That waiver (b), minimum number of parking spaces, is hereby approved on the basis of
the information and analysis provided in the parking letter submitted by the petitioner and discussed in
paragraph (21) of the Staff Report to the Planning Commission dated June 16, 2003, which concludes
that 41 parking spaces will be adequate for the proposed business operation.
5. That waiver (b), under the conditions imposed, will not cause fewer off-street parking
spaces to be provided for the proposed use than the number of such spaces necessary to accommodate
all vehicles attributable to the proposal under the normal and reasonably foreseeable conditions of
operation of such use because only 30 of the 41 proposed spaces will be occupied at the peak hour
resulting in the site having an excess of spaces during times of peak usage.
6. That waiver (b), 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
because only 73% of the 41 proposed spaces will be used at any single time; and that approval of the
waiver will_not impede. uehicular ingK~ss to or eg~€ss #~om ad}acer~t prope~ies upon the pubtic streets ir~
the immediate viciniry of the proposed use.
7. That waiver (b), under the conditions imposed, will not increase traffic congestion within
the off-street parking areas or lots provided for #he ;oroposed use.
8. That the proposal, as conditioned herein, is consistent with the intent of the ML zone and
the goals of the Redevelopment Project Area.
9. That as conditioned herein, the proposed outdoor contractor/vehicle storage yard will not
adversely affect the adjoining land uses and the growth and development of the area in which it is
proposed to be located because the surrounding properties are also zoned ML and contain industrial land
uses; and that the size and shape of the site (consisting of Parcels 1, 2 and 3) for the proposed use is
adequate to allow full devetopment of the proposal in a manner not detrimental to the particular area nor
to the peace, health, safety and general welfare.
10. That the traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue burden upon the
streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area.
11. That no one indicated their presence at the public hearing in opposition to the proposal;
and that no correspondence was received in opposition.

Planning Commission has reviewed the proposal to establish an outdoor contractor/vehicle storage yard
