WHEREAS, said Commission, after due inspection, investigation and study made by itself

and determine the following facts:
1. That the proposed request to expand an existing church to permit a new 15,502 square foot
church and to convert an existing 29,100 square foot building into meeting rooms, youth center and
administrative offices is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by Anaheim Municipal
Code Section 18.10.030.040.0402 with the following waivers:
SECTION NO. 18.42.040.010 Minimum number of parkinq spaces
377 required; 339 proposed and recommended by
the City's Independent Traffic Consultant)
2. That the parking waiver is hereby approved based upon a parking analysis prepared by the
City's Independent Traffic Engineer providing evidence that adequate parking exists on the property for the
expanded church facility on the site.
3. That the parking waiver, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not cause fewer off-street
parking spaces to be provided for the church and accessory operations than the number of such spaces
necessary to accommodate all vehicles attributable to such use under the normal and reasonable
foreseeable conditions of operation of the church and accessory operations because the parking study
indicates that the peak parking demand for off-street parking spaces is lower than the quantity provided #or
the project site 227 spaces needed and 339 spaces proposed).

i: ~
4. That the parking waiver, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not increase traffic
congestion and will not increase the demand and competition for parking spaces upon the public streets in
the immediate vicinity of the use because the church expansion will have adequate parking to accommodate
the project's peak parking demands.
5: That the parking waiver, under the conditions imposed, will not increase the demand and
competition for parking spaces upon adjacent private property in the immediate vicinity of the proposed use
because as indicated in the parking study, adequate parking to accommodate the anticipated project peak
parking demand will be provided on-site'
6. That the parking waiver, under the conditions imposed if any, wiU not impede vehicular
ingress to or egress from adjacent properties upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of the
proposed use because the project site is physically separated from adjacent private properties. Furthermore,
it has been determined by the parking study that adequate on-site parking spaces arebeing provided.
7, That since the peak operations of the church would occur when other industrial business in
the area are typically not operating, the expansion would nof adversely affect adjoining land uses or or the
growth and developmenf of the area in which it is proposed to be located.
8. That the proposed church expansion would not impose an undue burden upon the streets
and highways designed to carry the traffic in the area as the parking study has demonstrated that the site '
can accommodate the combined uses on-site;'
9. That the size and shape of the site for the use is adequate to allow the full development of
the proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area or to the health and safety as '
demonstrated by compliance with code requirements for the proposed building.
10. That the granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed, if any, will not
be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim.

correspondence was received prior to the meeting.
