WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in the
City of Anaheim on October 16, 2006, at 2:30 p.m., notice of said public hear+ng having been duly given as
required by law and in accordance with the provisions of the Anaheim Municipal Code, Chapter 18.60, to
hear and consider evidence for and against said proposed conditional use permit and to investigate and
make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; and that said public hearing was continued to
the November 13, and December 11, 2006, Planning Commission meeting in the City of Anaheim; 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 foffowing facts:
1. That the applicanYs proposal to permit a stealth building-mounted telecommunications
facility and accessory ground-mounted equipment on an existing church building is properly one for which a
conditional use permit is authorized by Anaheim Municipal Code Section Nos. 18.04.030.040.0402
(Antennas- Telecommunications - Stealth Building-Mounted) and 18.38.060.
2. That the proposed telecommunications facility would 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
proposed antennas would be designed to minimize the visual impact and would incorporate similar building
materials and architectural embellishments as the existing building design, and the proposed accessory
ground-mounted equipment shelter would match the architectural elements and building materials of the
adjacent church buildings. fn addition, the building and facility is readily visible from pubfic rights-of-way, and
the closest structure is approximately thirty-five (35) feet away.
3. That the size and shape of the site is adequate to aflow full development of the proposaf in a
manner not detrimental to the particular area nor to the health and safety because the telecommunications
facility would be located on an existing building and the new equipment facility would not reduce the number
of parking spaces provided.
4. That because this is an unmanned facility with infrequent maintenance, the traffic generated
by the proposed use will not, under the conditions imposed, impose and undue burden upon the streets and
highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area.

5. That granting this conditiona{ use permit will not, under the conditions imposed, be
detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim and that the use contributes to an
essential and effective wireless communication network system in a manner that would blend-in with the
existing facilities.
6. That no one indicated their presence at said public hearing in opposition; and that no
correspondence was received in opposition to the subject petition.
