18.120.070.080.0801 with waiverof the following.

(3 feet permitted; 6 feet proposed)
2. That the above-mentioned waiver (a) pertaining to the maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) to
construct a three-story self storage facility is hereby approved on the basis that there are other multiple story
buildings in the area and the traffic generated from the proposed self-storage use would result in less vehicle
trips than an industrial building built in compliance with the FAR for the zone.
3. That the above-mentioned waiver (b) pertaining to the maximum fence height is hereby .
approved because other industrial properties within the city are developed with the type of fence proposed.
In addition, there are other properties in the vicinity that have similar looking fences in the area.
4. That the proposed expansion of the self-storage facility use will not adversely affect the
adjoining land uses or the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located because
it is an expansion of an existing use and that the proposed use provides services to business and is
compatible with the surrounding land uses.
5. 7hat the size and shape of the site for the proposed self storage facility is adequate to allow
the full development of the proposed use in a manner that is not detrimental to #he particular area or the

fewer vehicle trips than industrial or office development.

permitted by right for this property.
7. That the granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed will not be
detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim because this proposed use is .
compatible with the underlying zone and surrounding land uses.
