Item No. 2
(13) Although not required by the City as part of this application, the petitioner has
submitted a site access and internal circulation study for the site. This study utilized
computer software simulation to evaluate on-site access for various types of vehicles
and trip generation rates to estimate traffic .impacts. The study;evaluates site access
and design related to sanitation services, and recommends that the delivery vehicle
loading/unloading area be relocated from the northeastern edge of the building to the
southeastern edge of the building,: adjacenf to the trash truck pick-up area. The
revised site plan reflects his change. The submitted'study also indicates that
utilizing project trip generation rates for both "Specialty Retail.Uses" and "Shopping
Center" uses, the trip rates yield the same traffic generation for this proposed site
regardless of whether there are two retail tenants or hree retail enants'housed in the
same building.;
(14) The submitted letter of operation indicates the site would be constructed in one'phase. The
Ietteralso indicates the proposed uses would'consist of retail businesses and'a take-out `'
restaurant with no more than ten seats. Security lighting would be provided on?site and
parapet walls would screen all associated mechanical equipment. The hours of operation,
employee information, and enant mix are unknown at this'time.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS:
(15) Staff has reviewed the proposal and the Initial Study (a copy of which is available for review
in the Planning Department) and finds no significant environmental impact and,: therefore,!
recommends that a Negative Declaration be approved upon a finding by the Planning
Commission that the Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment of the lead
agency; and that it has considered the proposed Negative Declaratioh together with any
comments received during;the public[review process and further finding on the!basis of he
Initial Study andany comments received that there is no substantial'evidence that the
project will haveaignificanf effect on the environment.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT ELEMENT ANALYSIS:
(1 ti) The proposed project has been reviewed by affected City departments to determine whether
it conforms with the City's Growth Management. Element adopted by the City Council on
Marcft 17, 1992'. Based on City staff..review of the proposed project, it has been determined
that this project does not fit within the cope necessary to require a Growth Management'..
Element analysis, therefore, no analysis has tieen performed.
EVALUATION:
(17) Commercial retail centers. (three or more tenant;spaces) are permitted in the CL (BCC) Zone
subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit per Code Section 18.44.050.135.
(18) Although the petitioner has`modified the site plan to address the Commission's ooncerns
relating to trash enclosure ocation and productdelivery, staff maintains that the size of the
site is' uch that it is inadequate to allow the full development of the project in a`manner not
detrimental to the particular area. Based on theproposed'design, there is no opportunity for
the petitioner to incorporate a feasible loadinglunloading area for delivery vehicles into the
design of the commercial center that would be utilized when the site is operational. Instead
of providing a loading/unloading area o the rear:. of the retail center, an area adjacent to the
trash enclosurejis proposed for this purpose. Delivery vehicles would likely utilize the
proposed customer parking area and would interfere with on-site vehicular parking and
circulation. Attftough no waivers are necessary for this developmentstafPs recent

'Item No. 2
experience with this type of site design (King's Market, for example) indicates that a loading
area for product delivery is a necessary element for any commercial center, regardless of
the size. Staff conducted a briefsurvey of product delivery at various locations throughout
the City that had no specified loading area:: Staff observed delivery vehicles parked'andlor
products placed within customer vehicle parking and accessways at severf commercial
.centers between 9:30 a.m. and:10:30 a.m. on July 31, 2003. An example; as depicted in
" the photograph below; shows customer parking spaces were blocked, access onto the site
was partially blocked,rand a customer wasprevented from leavi6g the center by a truck
parked in a drive aislei The property in the' photograph is located at the intersection of La
Palma Avenue (primary arterialj;and Baxter Street (local). When the Code was amended in
1986 to require a conditional use permit for retail centers, it was'sbased, in'part, upon:
concems3hat smallecpropertieswith multiple tenantspaces cdu d be impacted by
.loading/unloading, parking and'circulation'issues. Atthe time, no minimum lot size '
.requirement was indicated in the code for commercial centers. As part of the Zoning! Cade
Lpdate, staff is considering the addition of'a standard for minimum lot sizefor commercial
retail centers to address the site design and functionality issues'associatetl with this!type of
'commercial development. The Planning Commission may wisfi to note that the Lincoln
Avenue Corridor Master Plan indicates artadditional fifteen feetof right of way for the
intersection'of Lincolh Avenue and Brookhurst Street.: This aspect of the Master Plan will be
considered for adoption as part of the General Plan and Circulation Element update.
Because the changes. to the circulation element are pending, the site plan'does not reflect
the additional right-of-way. Should the Public Works bepartmeht at some future time widen
the street to implement the updated circulation element, the retail center would have`ho
landscape'setbackpa-long the street frontage.

Staff observation at local "strip center" (1501 East La Palma Avenue)
(19) As indicated in the attached memorandum from the Redevelopment Agency, this site is
located in the West Anaheim Commercial;Corridors Redevelopment Area; (WACCRPA) and
is within the Brookhurst Commercial Corridor (BCC) Overlay Zone. The primary purpose of
this Overlay Zone is to provide a mechanism for the orderly development of property. within
'the Brookhurst Sub-Area of the WACCRPA so as to,assist in the elimination of blight and
blighting influences. The establishment of this small"strip center" is inconsistent with these
Page 5
Staff Report to the
Planning Commission
October 20; 2003
Item No. 2
long-term goals'and objectives of the'WACCRPA. Undersized commercial properties, as
well as small commercial centers tend to contribute to blight and blighting influences due to
their inability to establish a ong-term'critical mass customer base needed to sustain them.
Because of the location of his property at the intersection of two major arterials (that serve
regional access'demands) staff believes that a'small "strip" retail center at thislocation
wouldibe detrimental -over the long term - to su~rounding:properties'!in this area.
(20) Although the submitted site access and circulation study indicates that there is no
difference in trip generation ratesbetween a wo-unit and three-unit center, and that
the site could accommodate the proposed use. The study also'notes that the
loading/unloading spaces located`n the parking area in front of the building would!
not be able to accommodate larger delivery,vehicles. Therefore, staff continues to'
recommend denial of this project.
FINDINGS:
(2t) Before the Commission grants any conditional use permip it must make a findirig of fact that
the evidence presented shows thak all of the following conditions exist:
(a) I That the proposed use is properly one for which a conditional use permit is
i authorized by the Zoning Code, or that said use is not listed therein as being a
permitted use;
(b) That the proposed use will notadversely affect the adjoining land uses and the
growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located;
(c) That the size and shape of the site for the proposed use is adequate to allow the full
development of the'proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area
nor to the.. peace, health, safety, and general welfare;
(d) !That the traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue burden upon
i the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the rafric in the area; and
(e) "That the granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed, if any,
will not be detrimental to the peace, health, safety and general welfare of the citizens
' of the City of Anaheim.
RECOMMENDATION: '
(22) Staff recommends that, unless additional or contrary information is received during the '
meeting, and based upon he evidence submitted to the Commission; including the evidence
presented in this staff report, and oral and written evidence presented at the public hearing,
the Commission take the following actions:
(a) By',motion, a~orove the CEQA Negative Declaration
(b) By'resolution deny Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-04736 (to construct athree-unit
commercial retail center), based on the following:
(i) Thafalthough commercial retail centers are listed as conditionally permitted uses
within the CL Zone, the size and shape of this "site for the Commercial retail
center is inadequate to allow the fulfdevelopment of the project in a manner not
detrimental to he particular area. The size of the site is such that there is no
opportunity for the petitioner to incorporate a feasible loadinglunloading area for

The following provides background information in preparation for the Planning
Commission's consideration of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2003-
04736, to permit a 3-unit commercial huilding at 101 5. Brookhurst Street.
The subject property is located in the West Anaheim Commercial Corridor
Redevelopment Project and within the Brookhurst Overlay Zone. The
property is zoned CL with a General Plan designation of General
Commercial.
This small commercial strip center is not consistent with the long-term goals
and objectives of the West Anaheim Commercial Corridor Redevelopment
Plan and the West Anaheim Vision Plan. These plans identify this site as
being ideal for regional commercial uses because of visibility and accessibility
along two major corridors. In addition, access to the site for deliveries is
problematic because of Its small size. Therefore, the Community
Development Department's recommendation is to not support approval of the
CUP.
Staff believes the site would pe more adequately utilized by working with
property owners in the area to consolidate property ownership to provide for
commercial uses in line with the goals of the West Anaheim Vision Plan and
the Redevelopment Plan.

Subject: SITE ACCESS AND INTERNAL CIRCULATION STUDY FOR THE
BROOKHURST/LINCOLN RETAII. CENTER
Anaheim, California
Dear Mr. Saivar:
As requested, Linscott, Law & Greenspan, Engineers (LLG) is pleased to present this site access
and internal circulation study for the proposed Brookhurst/Lincoln Retail Center, located in the
City of Anaheim, California. The project site is located at I01 5. Brookhurst Street, on the
southwest comer of the Lincoln AvenueBrookhurst Street intersection. The development
program for the project consists one retail/commercial building structure with a total gross
leasable area (GLA) of 4,367 square-feet (SF) divisible to three suites; Retail "A" with 2,000 SF;
Retail "B" with 1,184 SF; and Retail "C" with 1,183 SF.
This evaluation documents the trip generation potential of the proposed retail center and
evaluates service/delivery vehicles on-site circulation. Our evaluation of the project's Service
Truck access and on-site circulation was performed using the Turning Vehicle Templates,
developed by Jack E. Leisch & Associates, and AutoTURN for AutoCAD computer softwaze
that simulates fuming maneuvers for various types of vehicles. These "tools" were utilized to
ensure that trash trucks could properly access and circulate through the site.
PROJECT TRAFFIC GENERATION FORECAST
® Traffic generation is expressed in vehicle trip ends, defined as one-way vehicular movements,
either entering or exiting the generating land use. Trip generation rates used in the traffic
forecasting procedure are found in the Sixth Edition of Trip Generation, published by the
Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) [Washington, D.C., 1997j, and in the San Diego
Traffic Generators, published by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG)
[April 2002].

E N G I N E E R S
o The top portion of Table 1 summarizes the ITE trip generation rates for the "Specialty
Retail" and "Shopping Center" land use categories, and the SANDAG AM Peak Hour trip
rates for "Specialty Retail".
® For both land use categories, the trip generation rates are expressed in trips per 1,000 SF. When
applied to the project size (in squaze feet), the trip rates yield the same traffic generation
estimates regardless of whether there are two retail tenants or three retail tenants housed in the
same retail building structure.
® The bottom portion of Table 1 presents the resulting trip generation estimates for the project,
using the "Specialty Retail" rates, and the "Shopping Center" rates. As indicated, the
application of "Specialty Retail" trip rates to the project generates 177 daily vehicle trips, 4
AM peak hour trips, and 11 PM peak hour trips. Using "Shopping Center" trip rates results
in 188 daily vehicle trips, 4 AM peak hour trips, and I S PM peak hour trips for the project.
SITE ACCESS
® Exhibit 1 illustrates the site plan for the project. The retail building will occupy the western
portion of the site. Project site ingress and egress will be provided from both Lincoln Avenue
and Brookhurst Street via a project driveway along each roadway. The two driveways will be
restricted to right-tom in and right-tom out movements only. Along the project frontage,
Lincoln Avenue and Brookhurst Street have a raised median, thus restricting left-toms out of
each project driveway. On the eastern project frontage, Brookhurst Street provides three
southbound travel lanes and a bike lane. On the northern project frontage, Lincoln Avenue
(eastbound Lincoln Avenue, approaching Brookhurst Street) provides one ]eft-turn lane, two
through lanes, and oneright-tom ]ahe.
® Driveway Width: The project driveways are 24 feet wide, as shown on the site plan.. The
City requires the driveway widths to be between 24-30 feet (Standard Detail No. 137). The
project satisfies this requirement.
® Project Driveway Throat Length: A 25-foot throat length is considered the minimum
length required for the tripmaking potential of the project. The site plan shows a 28-foot
throat length at the Lincoln Avenue driveway and 30-foot throat length at the Brookhurst
Street driveway, both of which exceed the minimum standard of 25 feet.
® Sight Distance at Project Driveways: The speed limit, within the vicinity of the project
site, is 40 mph along Brookhurst Street and Lincoln Avenue. Based on the criteria set forth
in the State of California's Hightivay Design Manz~al for comer sight distance (7-% second
criteria) and the posted speed limit of 40 mph, the minimum corner sight distance of 440 feet
CUP N0. 2003 - 0 4 ~ 3 F,

E N G I N E E R S
is required at the project driveways. The sight triangle is formed by the driver's line-of--sight
from the project driveway and the 440 feet of corner sight distance. Per City criteria, there
should not be any hardscape and/or landscape (visual obstructions) higher than 24 inches, or
fences/ walls within this sight triangle.
At a minimum, consider providing sufficient line-of--sight using the stopping sight distance
criteria. Based on the criteria set forth in the State of California's Highway Design Manual
for stopping sight distance and the posted speed limit of 40 mph, the minimum stopping sight
distance of 300 feet is required. The same parameters of hardscape and/or landscape
restrictions apply so that the driver's line-of--sight is not obstructed.
SERVICE/DELIVERY ACCESS AND CIRCULATION
• The trash enclosure pick-up area for the retail center is located on the southern }imits of the
project. The loading/unloading area for delivery vehicles is on the northeastern edge of the
retail building. Because this delivery area is the size of a parking stall, it would only be able
to accommodate small delivery trucks or delivery vans. Access to these two loading areas
will be via the two project driveways.
• To ensure that trash tmcks can enter and exit the project site, as well as circulate within the
site, the turning radii requirements of a single-unit truck (SU-30) were evaluated. Exhibit 2
illustrates the trash truck access via Brookhurst Street. Review of this exhibit indicates that
"front-loading" trash trucks can easily access the site from Brookhurst and enter the loading
.area. However, since the trash loading area narrows from 9 feet to 8 feet, trash trucks will not
be able to go further than the sidewalk that located on the west side of the building. Hence,
trash truck drivers will be required to wheel out the trash bin-from inside the loading area to
load the bin into the trash truck.
Given a trash truck driver will be required to exit their vehicle, we recommend that the width
of the trash loading area be increased from 9 feet to at least 11 feet by implementing either of
the following site plan modifications:
Reduce the width of the planter that is located adjacent to the handicapped stall to
3 feet from 5 feet; or
2. Relocate delivery vehicles loading/unloading area from the northeastern edge of
the building to southeast edge of the building, adjacent to the trash pick-up area.
Under this option, trash trucks and delivery vehicles will have up to 17.5 feet (in
width) to maneuver into and out of the designated loading areas.

PARKING
® City Code Parking Requirement: To determine the number of spaces required for the
project, parking demand was first calculated using the City of Anaheim Parking Code. The
City Code specifies a parking ratio of 5.5 spaces per 1,000 SF for "Retail Stores and Service
Businesses" uses. The application of this ratio to the project's size (i.e., 4,367 SF) results in
24 spaces. The site plan shows that the project will provide 24 spaces to meet the City Code-
based parking requirement.
® Parking Lot Design: The parking spaces comply with the Minimum Off-Street Parking
Dimension (Standard Detail No. 601-E/602-E). The site plan indicates 1 handicapped
parking space, which satisfies the number of handicapped required spaces (Standard Detail
No. 436-G).

average. Reporting Districts to the north, south, east acid west are also above the citywide
average. The'Anaheim Police Department has indicated fifteen calls for service from
September 1,'2003 through September 16, 2003. These calls included: 1 burglary alarm; 2
assaults; 2 disturbances;. 1 fight; 2.911 hang-ups; 3 lost br stoleri possessidns; 1 battery; 2
burglaries; and 1 trafficeccident. ' Of these fifteen calls; seven reports were taken, which
included: 3 lost or stolenpossessions; 2 drunk driving; 1' assault with a deadly weaporiy and 1
domestic violence disturbance. Due to the high crime rate, the numerous police responses to
the location and the proximity to the residential neighborhood, the'Anaheim Police Department

approval and because the numberof calls for: service has been reduced, staff recommends
approval, in part of the request fof an extension of the hours of operation. Due the proximity of
single-familyand multi-family residential uses, staff recommends the hours of operation to be
limited from f1:00 a.m. tp midnight; Sunday'Mondav Tuesday and Thursday~ and 91:00 a.m.

safety and general welfare of the Citizens of the City of Anaheim.

an undue burden upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry traffic in the area.

authorized representative has determined that the proposed project falls within the definition of

RE: Continuance of Nextel Communications' zoning application for the
Modification of Wireless Facility Equipment located on rooftop of Kraemer
Building, 201 E. Center St.
Vanessa,
Based on the response from the Anaheim Planning Department regazding the original
proposal by Nextel, I am requesting a continuance for the application for modification of
Nextel's site at 201 E. Center St. Although the original plan would most likely have
resulted in recommendation of denial by the Recommendation Committee, two
altematives were discussed that produced positive feedback from Planning. Because
these alternatives need to be reseazched and more formally proposed, more time is
needed. If possible, please schedule this case for December I, 2003.
Sincerely,
Ryan Wells

(10) The petitioner has submitted a letter of operation indicating the'day care would be open
Monday tfir'ough Friday, 8 a.m through 4p.m. with'Gp to 8 employees. In'accordance with
State of California Community Care Licensing requirements, the facility would care for
relderly and mentally disabled adults 18 years of age and older.'!The IetteGfurther indicates
the facilitywould provide day care for a maximum of 120 frail elderly and mentally disabled
'adults. Daytime activities wouldinclude occupational; speech and physical therapy,'arts
'and crafts; group outings, counseling, therapy, floorexercise, bingo and other related
activities.'The day care would also provide both breakfast and lunch, catered from a nearby
skilled nursing home (no meals would be prepared oh-site). The applicant has indicated the
'facility would be licensed by the State Department of Health. Finally, the Planning
Commission should note thattne applicant currently operates an adult day care in,the City
'of Paramount.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS:
(11) The Planning Director's authorized representative has determined that the proposed project
stalls within the definition of Categorical'EzemptionsSeaion 15301, Class 1 (Existing
Facilities), as defined in the CEQA Guidelines and is, therefore; exempt from the
requirement to prepare additional environmental documentation.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT ELEMENT ANALYSIS:
(12) The proposed project has been: reviewed by affected City departments to%determine
whether it conforms tq the. City's Growth Management Element adopted by the City Council
on March 17, 1992 Based on .City staff review of the proposetl project, it has been
'determined that this project does not fit within the scope necessary to require a Growth
Management Element analysis; therefore no analysis has been performed.
EVALUATION:
(13) .The existing commercial retail center was constructed prior to the Code provision requiring
'a Conditional Use Permit for a commercial retail center witHthree or more tenants: and the
existing liquor store was established prior o the Code provision requiring: a Conditional Use ;
:Permit for iquor stores; therefore, the commercial retail center!and liquorstore are
:nonconforming land uses. The bode provides that "while a nonconforming use exists on
.any lot, no other use'shall be permitted even though;such ofhe~ use would be a conforming
use': The'petitionecs requesting to establish conformity with existing Zoning Code'land
use requirements for'the commercial retail center and liquor store. Adultpay Health Care
is not a listed use in the Zoning; Code and therefore the Code specifies, °where a use is not
'authorized ormenfioned in any;zone throughout fhe'City or ambiguity exists, concerning the r
appropriate classification and procedure for the auffiorization of a particular use or type of
'development within the meaning and intent of this code, said use or type: of development
'maybe authorized 6y condftional use permft until such time asithis code is amended in
:accordance with provision ofthis chapterdesignafing the properzone orprocedure by
which said use or type of development shall thereafter established. °
(14) The Commission has previously approved two Conditional Use Permits for Adult Day
Health Care (Lincoln+Avenue and Western Street and Cerritos'Avenue and Anaheim
'Boulevard). Staff has verified that both facilities are operating uccessfully and, with the
exception of one citizen complaint call for loitering, the Code Enforcement Division does not
' have anyrecord of domplaints for these businesses.
(15) In a telephone conversation with the State Department of Health, Community Care::
Licensing Division,staff confirmed that an outdoor area is required toprovide a shaded
Page 5

Item No. 9
seating areafor an Adult Day Health Care (ADHC) facility. 1•he property manager has
proposed a wrought iron railing along the edge of the outdoor area to provide safety from
vehicular traffic, as the patio is adjacent to the parking lot. The applicant has indicatedi that
employees would supervise all outdoor activity and that the majority of the activity is
confined within the building. To insure that the outdoor'area is adequately secured from
vehicular traffic and architecturallycompatitile with the commercial retail center, staff
recommends that plans for the outdoor area be submitted to the Zoning Division for review
and approval::
(16) The Planning;Commission may wish to note that the property management company,
Lidcoln Pacific Plaza, has submitted plans toremodel the facade of the entire shopping
center. The fagade remodel plans have been ubmittetl to the Building Division for plan
check and include newpaint, mission the roofs, tower elements, decorative banding and
cornices, wall`mounted Jight fixtures and awriings. Staff inspections and photographs
indicate the site will greatly benefit from the proposed renovation and has further
recommended conditions of approval to bring the shopping center. and liquor store into:
compliance with current code requirements, A typical condition of approval for land use
conformity requests is to require site landscaping be refurbished and that trees be
replanted to meet the minimum code requirement of one (1) tree for each 20 feet of sheet
frontage. The property's 1,080 feet of frontage along O~angethorpe Avenue'would require
the'property owner to plant forty-seven, 24-inch box size trees. Staff feels that the existing
landscaping is well maintained and recommends that some additional trees be plantetl to
fill ih the majority of the landscape etback, but not the number of trees that would be
required for anewly-constructed center.

(('RACKING N0. CUP2003-04765)
SITE LOCATION'ANDDESCRIPTION:

La Palma Avenue, a maximum depth of 780 feet andlis located 565 feet west of the
centerline of Imperial. Highway (5552 [currently 5576); East La Palma Avenue -The Chance
Theater).
REQUEST:
(2) The petitioner requests reinstatement of this permit by the modification or deletion of a
condition of approval pertaining to a time limitation (approved on Februaryl7, 1999 to
expire February 17, 2004) to retain and relocate apreviously-approved theater to another
unit within'an industrial complex under the authority of Code Section No. 15.03.093.
BACKGROUND:'
(3) This property is developed with amulti-building industrial complex and is zoned SP94-1, DA
i 5 (SC) (Northeast Area Specific Plan, DevelopmenYArea 5 -Commercial; Scenic Corridor
:Overlay) and is located within the Project Alpha (Northeast) Redevelopment Area. The Land
Use Element Map of he Anaheim General Plan designates thisproperty for General
'Commercial land uses and surrounding properties as follows: General Commercial to the
north (across La Palma Avenue) east and west, and water uses to the south.
(4) Conditional Use Permit No. 4094 (to permit a live performance theater for original dramas,

a period of five years: Resolution No. PC99-29 adopted in conjunction with this conditional

area, with dimensions of 32 feet by 65 feet, would have a total of fifty seats, in conformance
with the original approval.
(8) At the time that this:use was originally approved, the propertyconformed to Code '
requirements for parking. Including the'. theater use, a total of248 parking spaceswere
required and 308 spaces were existing. pue to the fact that parking requirement for a
theater use is based on the number of patrons and'employees, the required number of
parking spaces has not increased. Further, in the past five years, no changes to the other
uses on the property have occurred thatwould increase the parking requirement for this
industrial?complex.
(9) The submitted letter of request indicatesthe many reasons for relocating to the new
Iocatian.,The theater is in need of a larger stage,'dressing rooms and lobby for patrons to
wait during inclement weather: Further; he proposed location In the front of the industrial
complex would enable their patrons to find them more easily.
(10) - According to the petitioner, signage for the new location would be limited to the same
signage existing aftheir current location;: This consists of a 5'square foot wall sign: with the
text "Thee Chance Theater" and a 16 square foot sign with a theatrical logo. The combined I
sign area equals approximately 5 percent of the building elevation area o which the signs
would be attached; while Code allows a'maximumiof 10 percent.
(11) ` In order to demonstrate that the findingsrequired for the reinstatement of this usehave
been satisfied, thepetitioner has submitted the attached Justification for Reinstatement
which indicates that no aspect of the nature of the,operation has changed since the last
approval; that the physical property has'~emained the same, and that all conditions of
approvakpertaining to the permit have been complied with.
(12) The Code Enforcement pivision has submitted a memorandum dated October 6, 2003,
` regarding the current status of the property. The memo indicates that no violations were
observed and the property was in compliance with conditions'of approval. Since approval of
this usepermit, Cotle Enforcement staff has not received any complaints pertaining to this
r business.
(13)' The Commission may wish to note that there have been no changes to the SP94-1, DA5
` Zone standards or any otherchanges to the Anaheim Municipal Code that would iwalidate
the findings that were the basis for the previous approval of this conditional use permit.
(14) The theater at the existing location has not resulted in any violations within the five: years
that they fiave been operating. Staff does not have concemswith the relocation to the new
tenant suite since it would not!impact other industrial uses oh the property. Staff
recommends a~pprdval of thisfeinstatement, the relocation df he theater to another tenant
space within the complex and the deletion of the time limitation.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS:
(15)' Staff has reviewed he proposal to reinstate and relocate an existing theater and finds no
significant adverse environmental impacts resulting from the: existing activity on this
', property: Therefore, staff recdmmends hat the previously-approved Negative Declaration
in conjunction with Conditional Use Permit No, 4094 serve as documentation for this
request upon a finding by the Commissidn that the Negativebeclaratidn reflects the

further finding on the basis of the+Initial Study (a copy: of which is!available for review in the
Planning Department)(and any comments7eceived'that there is `no substantial evidence that
the project will have a ignificant effect on the environment.

(16) The proposed project has been reviewed by affected City departments to determine
whether it conforms with the City's Growth Management Element adopted by the City;
Council on March 17, 1992. Based on City%staff review of the proposed project, it has been
determined that this project does<not fit within the scope necessary to require a Growth

for an existing garden center with waiver df the following:
SECTION NO. 18:05.031.020! Maximum number of wall sions
One sign;permitted one existing and one

BACKGROUND:'
(3) This property is developed with a 2,500 square foot plant nursery and accessory outdoor
retail area and is zoned CL (SC) (Commercial, Limited -Scenic Corridor Overlay). ,The
Anaheim General Plan Land Use Elemenf Map designates thisproperty for General
Commercial land uses.

GROWTH MANAGEMENT ELEMENT ANALYSISi
' (7) The proposed project has been7eviewed by affected;City departments to determine;
whether if conforms with the City's Growtft Management Element adopted. by the City
£ouncil on March 17,:1992. Based on Gity staff review of the proposed project, it has been
'determined that this project does not fit within the scope necessary to require a Growth
Management Element analysis therefore,' no analysis has been performed.
EVALUATION:
(t3) The requested waiver pertains to the maximum number of wall signs permitted within the
SC Overlay zone. Cpde permits one (1) wall sign foreach business (building unit) and
:plans indicate one (1) existing wall sign on the north elevation facing La Palma Avenue and
`one (1) proposed wall sign on the east elevation facing the carwash and visible to motorist
traveling westbound on La Palma Avenue! Staff cannot identify any hardships based on
the findings that are requested to approved the sign waives Cbmmissionrhas already
granted a sign waiver for the existing monument sign which properly identifies the business
to potential customers traveling along La Palma Avenue. It may be argued that the <
monumentsign cannot be seen by westbbund motorists on La4Palma Avenue until it's too
(late to access the site; however; this type of business is not an?'impulse"purchase
business,lbut rather'a "destination" and therefore, additional signage should not be
necessaryi Staff recommends denial of this request:
(9) Commission may wish to recall that on September 23, 2002 that an identical waiver Was
considered on this property, and was denied on the basis that the proposed monument and
wall sign on the nortfi elevation were adequate to identify the business.
FINDINGS:
(10) When practical difficulties or uhhecessary!hardships esult from strict enforcement of the
Zoning Cotle, a motlfication may be granted for the'purpose df assuring hat no property,
because of special circumstances applicable to it, shall be deprived of privileges commonly
.enjoyed by other properties in the same vicinity and zone. The''sole purpose of any?.
variance br code waiver is to prevent discrimination and none shall be approved which
would have the effect of granting a special. privilege"not shared: by other'similar properties.
Therefore, before any variance: br code waiver is granted by the Planning' Commission, it
shall be sfiown:
(a) That there are special circumstances applicable to the property such as size;. shape,
topography, location or surroundings, which do not apply to other identically zoned
properties in the vicinity;iand
{b) That strict application of the Zoning Code deprives the property of'privileges enjoyed
by;other properties under identical zoning classificationiin the vicinity.
(11) .Before the`Planning Commission grants any conditional use permit, it must make a finding
of fact that the evidence presented shows that all of the following conditions exist:
'.Page 3 i

area; and
(e) i That the grantingof the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed, if any,
will not be detrimental to the peace, health, safety and general welfare of the
citizens of the City of Anaheim.

termination of a conditional use permit for one or more of the following grounds:

Re: Modification to a existing
Conditional Use Permit
#~00~ -04594
better of Explanation
John:
This letter is a request to install an additional wall sign at Armstrong
Gardens, located at 5780 East La Palma Ave. This location has (1) wall sign
located on the north elevation and (1) monument sign located at the front of
the property. The owner is proposing to add a second wall sign on the east
elevation. The monument sign allows visibility traveling from west to east and
the wall sign allows visibility from the north, niether elevation is visibile from
the east traveling west until the motorist is well in front of the nursery.
Now that the store is open you can easily see that the sign proposed,
which is similar in design to the existing one on the north elevation, is
attractive and compliments the design of the building.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter and should you have
any questions or require more information, please feel free to contact me. I
am including my card for your convenience.

a secondary arterial highway in the Scenic Corridor Zone
Overlay;
10-foot wide landscaped setback with 18-inch high berm
proposed adjacent to La Palma Avenue)
2. That waiver (a), maximum fence height, is hereby approved because the proposed fence
is located in approximately the same place as the existing 6-foot high wrought iron fence, and the existing
fence was approved in connection with the original approval of this conditional use permit in 1973; and
that the proposed fence is behind an 18-inch high earthen berm landscaped with a variety of trees,
shrubs and groundcover, which will improve the fence and will not effectively increase the height of the
fence due to its location behind said landscaped berm.
3. That waiver (b), prohibited roof signage, is hereby denied on the basis that it was deleted
following public notification.
4. That waiver (c), permitted commercial center identification sign, is hereby approved on
the basis that strict adherence to the zoning code would deprive this property of visibility to vehicles
traveling to both directions along La Palma Avenue due to the subject site's location along the existing
curve of La Palma Avenue; and that strict adherence to the zoning code would also deprive this property
owner of a privilege enjoyed by other property owners in the area with similar zoning, including Best
Western Anaheim Hills motel, Keno's Family Restaurant, Anaheim Hills Car Wash and Lube, and Canyon
Village Shopping Center which have similar signage to the proposal.
5. That waiver (d), maximum number of wall signs, is hereby denied on the basis that a
motion to approve the waiver failed to carry because of a tie vote (AYES: Bostwick, Bristol, Romero;
NOES: Eastman, Koos, Vanderbilt; ABSENT: Boydstun); and that a second motion to deny the waiver
also failed to carry because of a tie vote (AYES: Eastman, Koos, Vanderbilt; NOES: Bostwick, Bristol,
Romero; ABSENT: Boydstun).
4. That parking waiver (e), under the conditions imposed, is hereby approved based on the
City Traffic and Transportation Manager's review and approval of the parking study submitted by the
petitioner, including the conclusions that there will be a sufficient number of parking spaces; that the
proposed use will not cause or increase demand for parking on streets or private property in the vicinity;
and that the layout of the parking area not impede vehicular ingress or egress from adjacent properties or
upon the public streets
5. That parking waiver (e), under the conditions imposed, will not cause fewer off-street
parking spaces to be provided for the approved use than the number of such spaces necessary to
accommodate all vehicles attributable to such use under the normal and reasonably foreseeable
conditions of operation of the use.
-2- PC2002-146
6. That parking waiver (e), 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.
7. That parking waiver (e), 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.
8. That parking waiver (e), under the conditions imposed, will not increase traffic congestion
within the off-street parking areas provided for the use as proposed to be amended.
9. That parking waiver (e), under the conditions imposed, will not impede vehicular ingress
to or egress from adjacent properties upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of the use as
proposed to be amended.
10. That waivers (f) and (g), required screening of non-plant materials and minimum
landscaped setback adjacent to an arterial highway, are hereby approved on the basis that both waivers
were approved in connection with the original approval of this conditional use permit in 1973; and that
granting said waivers, as proposed, will improve the visual character of the site by providing higher quality
perimeter fencing and more landscaping than is currently exists on the site.
11. That there are special circumstances applicable to the property consisting of its shape,
location and surroundings, which do not apply to other identically zoned properties in the vicinity; and
that strict application of the Zoning Code would deprive the property of privileges enjoyed by other
properties under identical zoning classification in the vicinity.
12. That the use, as proposed to be amended and as conditioned herein, will not adversely
affect the adjoining land uses and the growth and development of the area on the basis of the proximity to
other commercial uses and because the existing garden center is currently in operation and the proposed
garden center will be operating in a manner consistent with the existing business.
13. That the proposed use 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 use is currently operating
in substantially the same manner as proposed. -
14. That the size and shape of the site for the use, as proposed to be amended, is adequate
to allow full development of the proposal in a manner not detrimental to the particular area nor to the
peace, health, safety and general welfare because there is an existing garden center that has been in
operation for 28 years; and that the proposal, which includes expansion of the existing building, will not
effectively expand the present use of the site.
15. That the traffic generated by the proposed construction and use will nofimpose an undue
burden upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry traffic in the area.
16. That the use, as proposed to be amended, will not adversely affect the adjoining land
uses and the growth and development of the area in which it is located.
17. That the size and shape of the site for the use, as proposed to be amended, is adequate
to allow full development of the proposal in a manner not detrimental to the particular area nor to the
peace, health, safety and general welfare.
18. That the traffic generated by the use, as proposed to be amended, will not impose an
undue burden upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry traffic in the area

imposed, will not be detrimental to the peace, health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City
of Anaheim.

20. That amendment to the conditions of approval, including the imposition of additional
conditions, is reasonably necessary to protect the public peace, health and general welfare, and to permit
reasonable operation under the conditional use permit as granted.
21. That no one indicated their presence at the public hearing in opposition to the proposal;
and that no correspondence was :received in opposition.

October 3, 2003
TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE
RE: PROPOSED AMENDMENT OF VARIOUS SECTIONS OF THE
ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO SEX-ORIENTED
BUSINESSES
I. RECOMMENDATION
That, based upon the information presented, the Planning Commission, by motion, take
the following actions:
A. Determine that this project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality
Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Section 15061 (b) (3) of the CEQA Guidelines.
B. Recommend that the City Council adopt the attached draft ordinance amending
various sections of the Anaheim Municipal Code relating to sex-oriented
businesses.
II. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The City Council has previously established regulations on sex-oriented businesses in
the City of Anaheim, declaring this was necessary for the protection of the public
welfare by mitigating the potential negative secondary effects ofsex-oriented
businesses. (Ordinance Nos. 5399, 5568, 5569, 5646, 5649 and 5656.)1
Representatives from the City Attorney's Office, Zoning, Code Enforcement and
Business License Divisions, and the Police Department regularly review the provisions
of Chapter 18.89 to determine if clarification or modification of its provisions is
necessary or appropriate in view of changes in the law, and have been processing this
amendment to Chapter 18.89 since September, 1998. The proposed ordinance has been
prepared to address the secondary impacts upon the community caused by sex-oriented
businesses to reflect changes in the law and the City's experience with such businesses
' This memorandum supplements prior memoranda from this office dated
September 23, 1993, September 20, 1994, September 27, 1994, May 8, 1996, June 14,
1996, August 11, 1998, October 19, 1998, October 27, 1998 relating to sex-oriented
businesses. Copies of the memoranda and ordinances referenced are available for
review by the Commission, City Council and the public in the City Clerk's Office, and
will be available during hearings considering the proposed ordinance.

in Anaheim. A copy of the draft ordinance, which has been marked to show changes
from existing Code provisions, is attached for your reference.
The attached draft ordinance amending various provisions of the Anaheim Municipal
Code relating to sex-oriented businesses includes recitals and findings which express in
detail the intent of the ordinance, case law relating to such businesses, and the
secondary effects of such businesses, as demonstrated by the experiences in the City of
Anaheim and/or by studies and experiences in otherjurisdictions. The recitals also
document modifications to the Anaheim Municipal Code relating to promptjudicial
review and hearing officers which are currently in effect and which impact evaluation
and processing of applications and permits for sex-oriented businesses.'- The
information in the recitals and findings in the ordinance are incorporated in this
memorandum by reference.
As described in the recitals and findings, sex-oriented businesses providing sexually-
oriented films, books, live performances and similar "adult" goods and services, have
been determined by the courts to involve speech, and as such are protected by the First
Amendment. Courts have upheld regulation of such businesses when those regulations
are designed to reduce the secondary effects the sex-oriented businesses have been
demonstrated to create. Courts have repeatedly held that cities may demonstrate the
secondary effects created by such businesses by relying not only upon their own
experiences, but also by relying on the experience of other cities, so long as whatever
evidence the city relies upon is reasonably believed to be relevant to the problem that
the city addresses.
The proposed ordinance may be summarized as follows:
Revises provisions in Chapter 18.89 to provide that all hearings relating to
sex-oriented businesses will be referred to the City Hearing Officer. This
revision reflects changes to hearing officer procedures established by City
Council Ordinance No. 5866, in which the Council created the office of City
Hearing Officer to hear prescribed matters, including hearings relating to sex-
oriented businesses, azising during a designated period without renewal, thereby
ensuring that the appointment does not create the possibility that favorable
decisions will be rewazded, and conforming previously existing language in the
- Copies of the materials referred to in the recitals, including cases cited,
the administrative record relating to the Flamingo Theater revocation proceedings, the
record of court proceedings in People v. Janini, studies from other jurisdictions, data
relating to sexually transmitted materials and IESNA data on lighting standards, are
available for review in the City Clerk's Office and will be available at the Council
Chambers during consideration of the draft ordinance.

Anaheim Municipal Code relating to selection of a hearing officer with the
requirements set forth in the case of Haas v. County of San Bernardino.
2. Clarifies that conditions imposed upon sex-oriented businesses are
intended to relate the individual characteristics of the proposed business to
specific requirements in the Code. The City has consistently applied the
hearing officer's authority to impose conditions upon sex-oriented businesses to
mean that any conditions imposed were not intended to provide an exercise of
discretion by the hearing officer, but rather to memorialize the characteristics of
the operation proposed by the applicant which reflect specific requirements in
the Code. An example of such a condition might be limiting occupancy based
upon the number of available parking spaces in order to comply with parking
requirements. While the establishment is required to comply with all
requirements of Chapter 18.89, enumeration of conditions reflecting individual
characteristics of the business provides supplemental notice of applicable
requirements to the applicant and to any transferee of the permit.
3. Provides that prompt judicial review will be afforded, in accordance with
procedures adopted by the Legislature. In 1998, the United States Court of
Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued its opinion in Baby Tam & Co., Inc. v. City
of Las Vegas, 154 F.3d 1097 ("Baby Tam"), holding that sexually-oriented
businesses' licensing ordinances were required to provide prompt judicial
review for persons whose license or permit applications have been denied. The
following year, the California Legislature addressed the Baby Tam decision by
adding Section 1094.8 to the Code of Civil Procedure setting forth an expedited
procedure for judicial review of decisions by a local public agency regarding the
issuance, revocation, suspension or denial of a business or other permit
involving expressive conduct protected by the First Amendment to the United
States Constitution. The revision to the proposed ordinance provides that
whenever such a permit is denied, prompt judicial review will be provided as
required by state law. In addition, in June, 2003, the City Council adopted
Ordinance No. 5866 to add a reference to the procedure set forth in Section
1094.8 of the Code of Civil Procedure when prompt judicial review is required.
4. Deletes the restriction that asex-oriented business may not be located
within 100 feet of any freeway or arterial highway. In 1999, the California
Court of Appeal for the Fourth District declared this restriction to be
unconstitutional. (Gammoh v. City of Anaheim (1999) 73 Cal.App. 4th 186; 86
Cal.Rptr.2d 194, modified 73 CaLApp. 4th 1264a ("Gammoh") The provision
has not been enforced since that time, and this modification corrects the Code
and memorializes existing practice in the City after the Gammoh decision.

Requires that security guards be licensed. The requirement for licensed
security guards is routinely placed on permits in the City where potential
secondary impacts are identified, such as public dance halls, restaurants with
entertainment and bars. The requirement for security guards is in the existing
ordinance. The modification describes with more specificity the qualifications
required.
6. Provides objective noise and minimum lighting standards, and provides
that the City Council may establish lighting standards for types of uses,
based upon recognized established standards. The provisions have been
modified to provide objective, specific standards for noise and lighting. The
revision establishes a minimum level, and provides that the City Council will
"° establish more specific standards for various types ofsex-oriented businesses by
resolution. In one instance, the minimum lighting required in the existing
ordinance is ten times lower than the minimum recommended by industry
experts for entertainment venues.
Clarifies the requirement that a[I indoor areas accessible to patrons, except
restrooms, be open to public view at all times, clarifying that such areas
include those accessible only to members of the public who pay a fee
and/or join a private club or organization. This modification clarifies an
existing requirement.
8. Clarifies the types of modifications or alterations ofsex-oriented businesses
which will require that the permit be modified. Existing provisions require
that the permit be modified in accordance with the procedures for obtaining a
sex-oriented business permit for any modification. The intent of the existing
requirement is that the business not be modified in ways which may take it out
of compliance with Chapter 18.89. This revision to the ordinance more clearly
expresses the intent that the changes which will require processing of a new
application are those which may interfere with enforcement of Chapter 18.89, or
obstruct the view of areas accessible to the public, including changes to the
configuration or location of a manager's station.
4. Delekes the requirement for annual permit renewal. The requirement for
annual renewal has been found to be of minimal benefit. If the permit is
operating in compliance with the requirements of 18.89, it is renewed. If the
permit is not operating in compliance, the result is non-renewal, which results in
the same costly and time-consuming process as revocation of the permit.
Revocation of the permit remains available for noncompliance.
10. Provides that a permit may not be revoked for permitting a person under
18 on the premises if the accused can show that he or she did not have, or
Planning Commission

could not reasonably have learned, that the person was under 18. Case law
suggests that the person accused should have some kind of knowledge before
the provision is invoked..
11. "Grandfathers" locations of existing sex-oriented businesses. The City is
required to provide a reasonable number of locations for sex-oriented
businesses. Absent this provision, a number of sites would be unavailable if the
permits were to be revoked, and sufficient alternative sites would need to be
identified.
12 Deletes the provisions providing for enforcement of the ordinance as a
misdemeanor, except for operation of asex-oriented business without a
permit. This amendment reflects the decision of the Fourth District Court of
Appeal in People v. Janini. The modification permits enforcement by other
available civil means, such as revocation of the permit, injunctions and nuisance
actions.
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission determine that adoption of this
ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061 (b) (3) of the CEQA
Guidelines, which provides that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential
for causing a significant effect on the environment. Staff further recommends, based
upon the information and evidence presented, including evidence presented during the
public meeting, that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council
approve the attached draft ordinance.

WHEREAS, the City Council, in adopting this ordinance, takes legislative notice of
the existence and content of the detailed studies prepared by other jurisdictions regazding the social
and economic secondary effects on persons and properties surrounding established adult use
facilities; and
WHEREAS, there is substantial evidence that an increase in crime tends to
accompany, concentrate around, and be aggravated by sex-oriented businesses, including, but not
limited to an increase in the crimes of nazcotics distribution and use, prostihation, pandering, and
violence against persons and property; and
WHEREAS, the studies from other cities established by convincing evidence that sex-
oriented businesses that aze not regulated as to operating standazds often have a deleterious effect

increase in crime and a decrease in property values; and
WHEREAS, the City Council takes judicial notice of the administrative record and
of the Findings of Fact and Decisions issued by Hearing Officer Victor J. Kaleta on January-14,
1999, relating to the Revocation and Denial of Renewal of the sex-oriented business permit of the

sex-oriented business ordinance required revocation and nonrenewal of its permit; :and (ii) listing
nine specific violations of the prohibition against patron/entertainer sexual physical contact that
occurred at the strip club over a 12 month period as established, in part, by video tape evidence
showing such sexual physical contact; and
WHEREAS, the Flamingo Theater's nude entertainers began providing a
masturbatory service sometimes referred to as "lappers," which consisted of the following: after
completely disrobing on stage, a nude entertainer would slip on thong underweaz and a bra or bikini
top and circulate through the audience selling "lappers;" once a patron agreed to purchase a "lapper,"
the entertainer would begin the service by rubbing her breasts, buttocks and neaz-nude genitals on
the lap, legs, torso, chest and face of her patron; the entertainer would then mount the lap of her
seated patron (hence the name "lapper") and, simulating intercourse, grind her near nude genitals
duectly on the genitals of her patron; and, as a 15-yeaz-old nude entertainer at the Flamingo
Theater's establishment testified at the administrative hearing, the male patrons would even
occasionally ejaculate (November 2, 1998, hearing transcript, 84:7-9; Administrative Record 91 );
and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that it is necessary and appropriate to clarify
certain restrictions relating to sex-oriented businesses regulated by Chapter 18.89 of the Anaheim
Municipal Code in light of the Court of Appeal's decisions in (Gammoh v. Ciry ofAnaheim (1999)
73 Ca1.App. 4th 186; 86 Ca1.Rptr.2d 194, modified 73 Ca1.App. 4th 1264a ("Gammoh"); People v.

violations and prostitution under Penal Code §647(b), based in part upon evidence obtained by Vice

buttocks, and genitals up against the clothes bodies of their male patrons, and the women were
convicted for violating the no-touching rule in the Anaheim Municipal Code;
WHEREAS, the court of appeal in Janini reversed the convictions, fmding that the
municipal code violations were preempted by state law, and
WHEREAS, in adoption of this Ordinance, the City Council is mindful of legal
principles relating to regulation ofsex-oriented businesses, and the City Council does not intend to
suppressor infringe upon any expressive activities protected by the First Amendment of the United
States and California Constitutions, but instead desires to enact reasonable time, place, and manner
regulations that address the adverse secondary effects of sex-oriented businesses; .and
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered decisions ofthe United States Supreme
Court regazding local regulation ofsex-oriented businesses, including but not limited to:.City of

WHEREAS, the judicial decisions in the public record, including those set forth in
the previous recital, and the City Council further finds the following, based in part upon its
understanding the experiences of the City of Anaheim with sex-oriented businesses, including (i)
the Flamingo Theater, as set forth in the administrative record and the decision of the Hearing
Officer, (ii) the descriptions of the police of the activities in the Sahaza Theater, including
declazations and testimony relating to the Janini case:
I. Evidence indicates that some dancers, models, entertainers, performers, and other
persons who publicly perform .Specified Sexual Activities or publicly displayed Specified
Anatomical parts in sex-oriented businesses (collectively referred to as "performers") have been
found to engage in sexual activities with patrons of sex-oriented businesses on the site of the sex-
oriented businesses;
2. Evidence has demonstrated that performers employed by sex-oriented businesses
have been found to offer .and provide private shows to patrons who, for a price, aze permitted to
observe and participate with the performers in live sex shows;
6
3. Evidence indicates that performers at sex-oriented businesses have been found to
engage in acts of prostitution with patrons ofthe establishments;
4. Evidence indicates that fully enclosed booths, individual viewing azeas, as well as
small rooms whose interiors cannot been seen from public azeas ofthe establishment regularly have
been found to be used as locations for engaging in unlawful sexual activity;
5. As a result of the above and the increase in incidents of HIV, AIDS, Hepatitis B and
Hepatitis C which aze sexually transmitted or blood borne diseases, the City has a substantial interest
in adopting regulations that will reduce the possibility for the occurrence ofprostitution and unlawful
sex acts at sex-oriented businesses in order to protect the health, safety, and well-being of its
citizens;
6. The City finds the foregoing to be relevant to the experience of Anaheim and the need
to regulate the secondary effects ofsex-oriented businesses within the community; and
7. The public health, safety, welfare, and morals of all persons in the City must be
protected by the establishment of standards to diminish the possibility of infection of contagious
diseases; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds, based upon observations of the City's Police
Department and Code Enforcement Division staff that enforcement of Chapter 18.89 is hampered
by the following:
1. Sex-oriented businesses have created barriers of various types which prevent
observation ofactivities of entertainers and patrons and interfere with enforcement of Chapter 18.89;
2. Sex-oriented businesses have created dazkened azeas with little illumination to
establish secluded spaces which interfere with enforcement of Chapter 18.89 by preventing
observation of activities of entertainers and patrons; and
3. Sex-oriented businesses continue to allow unregulated physical contact between
dancers and patrons; and
WHEREAS, the City Council is cognizant of the specific danger from the sexually
transmitted disease AIDS, which is currently irreversible and fatal, and takes legislative notice of
statistics provided by the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Public Health
Service, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Surveillance Report of AIDS cases reported
through December, 2001, including information that Orange County has a tota15,925 cases, with
286 of those reported in the yeaz 2000 and 299 reported in the yeaz 2001, with 36 of those children
under 13 yeazs old; and takes further legislative notice of statistics provided by the California
Department of Health Services, Office of AIDS, HIV/AIDS Epidemiology Branch ("CDHS")
entitled California Top ] 0 Counties in AIDS Cases, that as of January, 2003, Orange County was
7
one of California's top 10 counties in AIDS.cases; and that as of January 31, 2003, a total of 6,226
cases had been reported in Orange County; with 3;255'deaths, leaving 2,971 residents of Orange
County living with HN/AIDS; and further takes judicial notice of the CDHS Acgulred
Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS Only)AIDS Reporting Registry Surveillance Report for
California -July 31, 2003, including information that as of July 31, 2003, an estimated 3,074
residents of Orange County were living with AIDS, an increase of 103 cases over the CDHS
December 31, 2002 figures, and
WHEREAS, the City is also concerned with preventing the spread of other sexually
transmitted diseases such as syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C, and takes
judicial notice of the publication of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Sexually
Transmitted Disease Surveillance, 2001 (Atlanta, GA: U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services, September 2002), which indicates, in part, that in 2001, 783,242 cases of genitai
Chlamydia trachomatis infection were reported to the CDC, an increase of 10.4% compazed with
the figures in 2000; that the gonorrhea rate in 2001 (128.5 cases per 100,000 population) was similar
to the rates in 2000 (129:0 cases per 100,000), but exceeds the 2010 objective of 19 cases per
100,000 population; that in 2001, syphillis cases reported to the CDC increased from 5,979 to 6,103,
an increase of 2.1 %; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has a reasonable basis to believe that the experiences
of California and Orange County, as well as the experience in other counties outlined in the reports,
as to these sexually transmitted or blood borne diseases aze relevant to the experiences of Anaheim;
and
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes the possible harmful effects onchildren and
minors exposed to the effects ofsex-oriented businesses and recognizes the need to enact regulations
which will minimize and/or eliminate such exposure and takes legislative notice of the following:
(i) the Penal Code provisions authorizing local governments to regulate matters that aze harmful to
minors, (such as Penal Code 313 et seq.) and (ii) the cases that recognize that protection of minors
from sexuallyexplicit materials is a compelling governmentinterest,including Crawford v. Lungren,
96 F.3d 380 (9th Cr. 1996), cert. denied 520 U.S. 1117 (1997) and Berry v. City ofSanta Barbara,
40 Ca1.App. 4th 1075 (1995); and
WHEREAS, the City Council .also finds the establishment of operational standazds
for sex-oriented businesses is a legitimate and reasonable means'of ensuring. that:
1. Operators of and performers ofsex-oriented businesses comply with the reasonable
regulations of the Code;
2. The recognized adverse secondary impacts of a proposed sex-oriented business are
mitigated;
3. Sex-oriented business operators have-specific guidelines with respect to the manner
in which they can operate asex-oriented business; and
WHEREAS, while the City Council desires to protect the rights conferred by the
United States Constitution to sex-oriented businesses, it does so in a manner that ensures the
continued and orderly operation and diminishes, to the greatest extent feasible, those undesirable
adverse secondary effects which the above mentioned studies have shown to be associated with the
operation of sex-oriented businesses; and
WHEREAS, operating standazds aze a legitimate and reasonable means of ensuring
that sex-oriented businesses are conducted in a manner so as to minimize their adverse secondary
effects and to help assure that such operators and businesses comply with reasonab]e regulations
related to such requirements to minimize and control problems associated with such businesses and
thereby protect the health, safety, and welfaze of Anaheim residents, protect citizens from increased
crime, preserve the quality of life, preserve property values and the chazacter of surrounding
neighborhoods and businesses, and deter the spread of urban blight; and
WHEREAS, the operational requirements contained in Chapter 18:89 and in this
Ordinance do not unreasonably restrict the establishment or operation ofsex-oriented businesses in
the City of Anaheim; and
WHEREAS, the modifications in this ordinance aze intended to clarify existing
requirements,
WHEREAS, the City Council, in affirming and adopting operational standazds,
recognizes that these standazds do not preclude reasonable altemative avenues of communication,
and takes note of the proliferation of adult material on the Intemet, satellite television, direct
television, CDs, DVDs, and thatthese various media provide alternative avenues of communication;
and
WHEREAS, the City Council also considers and relies on published decisions
examining the proliferation of communications on the Intemet, including Reno v. American Civil
Liberties Union, 521 U.S. 844, 117 S.Ct. 2329, 138 L.Ed.2d (1997) (the principal channel through
which many Americans now transmit and receive sexually explicit communication is the Internet);
Anheuser Busch v. Schmoke 101 F.3d 325, 329 (4`s Cir. 1996), cert. denied 520 U.S. 1204 (1997)
(the Fourth Circuit rejected a First Amendment challenge to a Baltimore ordinance restricting
alcohol advertisements on billboazds acknowledging that the Internet is one available channel of
communication); U.S. v. Hockings, 129 F.3d 1069 (9's Cir. 1997); see also U.S. v. Thomas, 74 F.3d
701(6`" Cir.1996), cert. denied 519 U.S. 820 (recognizing the Internet as a medium for transmission
of sexually explicit material in the context of obscenity prosecutions); and
WHEREAS, the emergence of the Intemet brings with it a virtually unlimited
additional source of adult oriented sexual materials available to interested persons in every
9
community with a mere keystroke, and a-sex-oriented- business no longer has to be physically
located in a city to be available in the community; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has also determined that a closing hours requirement
promotes the reduction of deleterious secondary effects from adult facilities and reasonably relies
on prior court decisions on the need for closing hours including: Mitchell v: Comm. on Adult
Entertainment, 10 F.3d 123, 131-139 (3`d Cir. 1993); Lady J. Lingerie, Inc. v. City of Jacksonville,
973 F.Supp. 1428 (M.D. Fla. 1997) Lady J. Lingerie, Inc. vs. City of Jacksonville, 176 F.3d 1358
(11's Cir. 1999); City of Colorado Springs v. 2354 Inc., 896 P.2d 272 (1995); and Center for Fair
Public Policy v. Maricopa County, 2003 U.S. App. LEXIS 14918 (9r" Cir. July 28, 2003); and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Anaheim has also determined that
locational criteria alone do not adequately protect the health, safety, and general welfaze of the
citizens of the City of Anaheim and thus that certain requirements with respect to the operation of
sex-oriented businesses aze in the public interest; and
WHEREAS, in addition to the fmdings in studies conducted in other cities regazding
increases in crime rates and blighting ofazeas in which such businesses aze located, the City Council
also takes legislative notice of the facts recited in the case of Kev, Inc. v. Kitsap County, 793 F.2d
1053 (9th Cir. 1986), Colacurcio v. City of Kent, l 63 F.3d 545 (9th Cir. 1998), and Tily B., Inc. v.
City ofNe~port Beach (1999) 69 Ca1.App. 4th 1, regazding how live adult entertainment facilities
result in secondary effects such as prostitution, drug dealing, and other law enforcement problems;
and
WHEREAS, in recognition ofthese negative secondary effects generated by live adult
entertainment, a number of courts have upheld distance limitations between performers and patrons,
prohibitions against physical contact betweenperformers and patrons, and directpayment and receipt
ofmonies between performers and patrons atsex-oriented businesses that provide live entertainment,
including but not limited to: Tily B., Inc. v. City of Newport Beach (1999) 69 Ca1.App. 4th 1;
Colacurcio v. City ofKent, 163 F.3d 545 (9th Cir. 1998); BSA, Inc. v. King County, 804 F.2d 1104;
1110-11 (9th Cir. 1986); Kev, Inc. y_Kitsap County 793 F.2d 1053 (9's Cir. 1986); DLS, Inc. vs. Ciry
of Chattanooga, 894 F.Supp. 1140 (E.D.Tenn. 1995); Parker v. Whitfield County 463 S.E.2d 116
(Ga. 1995); and Hang On., Inc. v. City of Arlington 65 F.3d 1248 (5th Cir. 1996); and
WHEREAS, the City Council believes that prohibiting physical contact between
performers and patrons atsex-oriented businesses, requiring sepazate entrances for performers from
those used for patrons, requiring separate restrooms for opposite sexes, and prohibiting performers
from soliciting payment from patrons, aze a reasonable and effective means of addressing the
legitimate governmental interests of preventing prostitution, the spread of sexually transmitted
diseases, and drug transactions; and
WHEREAS, in considering appropriate operational regulations for sex-oriented
businesses, the City Council fords that:
10
1. Preventing the direct exchange of money between performers and patrons also
reduces the likelihood of drug and sex transactions occumng in sex-oriented businesses;
2. Requiring sepazations between performers and patrons reduces the likelihood that
such persons will negotiate narcotics sales and/or transact sexual favors within sex-oriented
businesses; and
WHEREAS, the City Council further fords that enclosed or concealed adult booths
and dimly-lit areas within sex-oriented businesses greatly increase the potential for misuse of the
premises, including unlawful conduct of a type which facilitates transmissions of disease; and that
requiring all indoor areas to be open to view by management at all times and adequate lighting to be
provided reduces the opporhrnity for, and therefore the incident of illegal conduct within sex-
orientedbusinesses, and further facilitates the inspection of the interior of the premises thereof by
law enforcement personnel, based on the following:
1. The City Council recognizes and relies on the findings set forth in the 1986
Attomey General's Report on Pornography in support of this Ordinance including, but not limited
to, its recommendations that local governments ban certain features of video booths that facilitate
carnal sexual encounters, a copy of which is available for public review at the City Clerk's office;
2. With respect to booths, these findings include the following: (i) the inside
walls of the booth are typically covered with graffiti and messages, usually of a sexual nature and
consisting of telephone numbers, names, requests and offers for sex acts, anatomical descriptions,
and sketches; (ii) some booths also contain a chazger used as an appointment schedule that is utilized
to schedule appointments for sex acts that take place in that particular booth; (iii) many of these
booths aze equipped with a hole in the side wall between the booths to allow patrons to engage in
anonymous sex including both oral and anal sex acts; (iv) inside the booths, the floors and walls aze
often wet and sticky with liquid or viscous substances, including semen, urine, feces, use
prophylactics, gels, saliva, or alcoholic beverages; (v) the City concludes, based in part on the
description of the illicit sexual activity as noted within the Attorney General's Report, that the
presence of closed doors is likely to lead to the above described secondary effects,
3. The City Council finds that requiring that adult booths/individual viewing
aeeas be configured in such a manner so that there is an unobstructed view by the manager and
prohibiting closed, concealed, or obstructed adult booths that aze occupied by no more than one
person at a time reduces the secondary effects associated with adult booths;
4. The City Council reasonably relies on prior court decisions on the need for
operational standazds on the regulation of individual viewing azea including Mitchell v. Comm. on
Adult Entertainment, 10 F.3d 123, 131-139 (3rd Cir. 1993); Lady J. Lingerie, Inc. v. Ciry of
Jacksonville,176 F.3d 1358 (11th Cir. 1999); City of Colorado Springs v. 2354, Inc. 896 P:Ld 272
(1995); Acorn Investments v. City of Seattle, 887 F.2d 219 (9th Cir. 1989); Eamon Corp. v. City of
11
Dayton 923 F.2d 470 (6th Cir. 1991); World Wide Video, Inc. v. City ofTukwila, 816 P.2d 18 (1991);
5. The provisions aze further necessary to eliminate the masturbation and sexual
activity that aze known to occur in adult booths and which present significant health and safety
concerns with respect to communicable diseases, including AIDS;
6. The City Council takes further note of the Ninth Circuit's decision in Ellwest
Stereo Theater, Inc. v. Wenner, 681 F.2d 1243 (9's Cir. 1982) and its finding that there is no
constitutional right to unobserved masturbation in a public place; and further frnds that operational
standazds for adult booths aze even more critical in an individual viewing area which reduces the
buffer zone between the performer and patron during offstage performances; and
WI-IEREAS, it is not the intent ofthe City Council of the City ofAnaheim in enacting
this Ordinance or anyprovision thereofto condone or legitimize the distribution of obscene material,
and the City and its Council recognizes that State law prohibits the distribution of obscene materials
and expect and encourages law enforcement officials to enforce State obscenity statutes against such
illegal activities in Anaheim; and
WHEREAS, the City Council does not intend to regulate in .any azea preempted by
California law, including but not limited to, regulation of obscene speech, nor is it the intent of the
City Council to preempt regulations of the State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control
("ABC"); and
WIdEREAS, nothing in this Ordinance is intended to .authorize, legalize, or permit
the establishment, operation, or maintenance of any business, building, or use which violates any
City ordinance or any statute of the State of California regazding public nuisances, unlawful or
indecent exposure, sexual conduct, lewdness, obscene or harmful matter, or the exhibition or public
display thereof; and
WHEREAS, this Ordinance is further justified by the fact that without these
regulations the City will be prohibited from furthering its substantial governmental interest in
protecting its residents from the aforementioned negative secondary effects caused by the
unregulated operation of sex-oriented businesses; and
WHEREAS, this ordinance is necessary for the preservation of the public peace,
health and safety, which is justified by the fact that these operating standazds need to be in place or
the operation of existing facilities, or the siting of a new adult facility, could detrimentally impact
the City's ability to protect the public from the negative secondary effects of an unregulated
operation orunder-regulated sex-oriented business(es); and
WHEREAS, on July 9, 1996, the City Council approved Resolution No. 96R-123,
effective August 8, 1996, approving the form application for asex-oriented business, including a
12
checklist of requirements for a completed application; to ensure that the determination as to
completion of an application is ministerial; and
WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to revise existing provisions of Chapter 18.89
relating to the imposition of conditions on sex-oriented business Permits by the Hearing Officer to
reflect the existing practice in the City of Anaheim, whereby the Heazing Officer's conditions aze
not discretionary, but require implementation and maintenance of characteristics of the proposed
operation, such as the maximum number ofpatrons based on available parking, to ensure compliance
with specific requirements in Chapter 18.89; and
WHEREAS, the City Council declazes that it would have adopted the locational and
operational provisions of Chapter 18.89 even in the absence ofthe permit issuance provisions ofthat
Chapter; and
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes the Illuminating Engineering Society of
North America "(IESNA") has established a methodology for determining lighting power densities
for various types of uses, establishing recommended weighted footcandle standazds for individual
spaces, which standazds provide objective measures for lighting in various types of sex-oriented
businesses; and
WHEREAS, based upon IESNA standazds, the City Council wishes to establish
minimum footcandle requirements for sex-oriented businesses; and
WHEREAS, copies of all studies, cases and materials cited in the foregoing
record, including the administrative record of the proceedings relating to the revocation and
denial of renewal of Flamingo Theater's sex-oriented business permit, and the record of the
court proceedings in People v. Janini, which expressly details the City's f-rst hand experiences
demonstrating secondary impacts in two sex-oriented businesses have been available to the
City Council and made available during the Council's consideration of this ordinance; and
WHEREAS, as provided in the severability clause of this ordinance, in the event of
invalidation of anyprovision of Chapter 18.89, including the provisions relating to permit issuance,
any sex-oriented business which operates in the City will be deemed to be operating subject to the
requirements of Chapter 18.89, including, but not limited to, the locational and operational
requirements, which would have been adopted independent of the permit issuance provisions; and
WHEREAS, the continuing application of the locational and operational provisions
of Chapter 18.89 is necessary in order to protect the public health, .safety and welfaze by providing
a mechanism to address the harmful secondary effects associated with the establishment and
operation of unregulated or underregulated sex-oriented business in the event the City's permit
issuance procedures aze invalidated by a court of competent jurisdiction.
