The petitioner has also submitted a financial summary of business activity from January 2003 to June 2003, indicating the' ales of alcoholic bevereges does not'exceed 40% of the gross sales of ail retail sales'during any three (3) month period (29% of sales for the 1'~ quarter, and 30.4 % for the 2nd quarter). (10) The Anaheim Police Department submitted the attached memorandum, dated October 17,2003, regarding the;requesffor reinstatement, modification to the hours of operation, ' and the addition of accessory public entertainment. -.The memorandum indicates the property is located within Reporting District 1620, which has a crime rate of 213%d'above the citywide averaoe. The property is also: within census tract 871.02, which has. e population'of 5,862. This population allows for seven (7) on sale licenses, and there are presently four (4}. The: memo further indicates thattrom November 2002, through November 19 2003, this property has had 35 calls for service.`These calls consisted of 12 private party impounds, 6 burglary alarms audible, 7 911 hang-ups, 1 fight, 2 suspicious vehicles, 2 petty thefts, 1 recovered lost or stolen property, 1 recovered stolen vehicle, 1 suspicious circumstances, 1 disturbance gang, and 1 vandalism: Of these calls for service, 16 reports were taken. These reports consist of 73 vehicle storage reports, 1 property lost, and 2 thefts. The memo also indicates he business has been operating in violation of the approved Conditiohal Use Permit and`ABC license. According to'both the license and the CUP, the business cannot be open beyond'12 midnight on any evening. The business is also operating in violation of the current Dinner Dance Permit (no admission fee, cover charge, advance prepayment for meals, or similar fees shall be imposed upon patrons as a condition of entry to the premises), Due to the reasons listed above and the extremely high crime rate,. the Police Department opposes the request to permit accessory public entertainment and extended hours of operation but does no£oppose the reinstatement for a period'of one (1) year, subject to recommended conditions of approval. (11) The Code Enforcement Division has submitted the attached memorandum dated October 23, 2003, pertaining to property compliance history and inspections conducted on August 22 and October 21, 2003. The memorandum indicates that there are no citizen complaints regarding the business.'The memorandum`aiso indicates that certain aspects of the business operation have changed: and are inconsistent with the previouslyapproved conditional'use permit: The owner of the restauranFndicated to CodeEhforcemenfstsff that the restaurant is open until 1 a.m1 on Friday and Saturday nights and that on some nights, a cover charge is required. Staff further observed a sign within the building indicating "No Dinner a`$10.00 Cover Charge, two drinks minimum:' Condition No <l S of Resolution Na. 99R-156 dermits the business to be open ' until 12 a m'(midhiahtl on Friday and Saturday nights-and the current Dinner Dance Permit for the restaurant includes' a conditidn hat does'hot allow an admission fee, cover charoe; nor a mihimum purchase to be imodsed uoorc paGdhs of the'establishment.

Building Division records indicate that no permits have been issued for the monument sign or waFl signs. Because the' property has a street frontage of 465 feet; only one freestanding or monument sign is permitted along Brookhurst Street (one existing non- conforming;freestand(ng sign is located on the property). The Commission may wisfi to note that the unpermitted sign (located in the center of the'picture above) does not comply:. with the Code requirements pertaining to'height, width, design, or location. Staff has included a condition of approval requiring this unpermitted sign to be removed. Currently there are a total of seven (7)'wall signs!on the north and west elevations of the building. Because this property is located within the Brookhurst Commercial Comidor'(BCC) Overlay Zone: and within`a Redevelopment Project Area, and this use is subject to approval of a conditional use permit, the imposition of more restrictive sign requirements is appropriate to eliminate the potential blighting influences associated with a proliferation of signage in this areaSince 4he November. 3 2003, Commission meeting,'the petitioner has removed three wall signs located on the building (as indicated in the"photographs below)."However, no plans have been submitted to the Zoning Division for approval of the remaining wall signs. Staff has also included a condition of approval requiring that plans for the 4 remaining wall signs be'submitted' to the Zoning Division for review and approval and that appropriate permits be obtained.

The Police Department is not opposed to reinstating the`permlt as[previously approved, for a period of one (1) year to expire July 13, 2004. (14) Commission may wish to note that at the time of the original approval of Conditional Use. Permit No: 4113, testimony was received by nearby residents that late night parking'lot activity was causing noise disturbance to those'residents. Therefore; Council restricted the hours as currently conditioned. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS: (15) Staff has reviewed the proposal and,finds no significant adverse environmental impacts resulting from he existing activity on this property.

Code Enforcement records indicate no citizen complaints have been received regarding this restaurant. On August 22, 2003, I checked City of Anaheim Planning Department files and found that Conditional Use Permit 4113, which allowed Plaza Garibaldi Restaurant to operate, had expired on July 13, 2003. On August 22, 2003, I conducted an inspection of the restaurant and observed flags and banners being displayed in the parking lot area. I further observed several new signs attached to the exterior west and north walls of the building. Located in the south/west comer of the property, I observed that an arch type sigri approx. seven feet tall had been installed. I entered the restaurant and spoke to the business owner Mike Helguero regarding the expired Conditional Use Permit, flags, banners and the signs attached to the exterior walls of the building. Further I explained to him that the business license for the restaurant was expired. I issued a City of Anaheim Notice of Violation to him for the above listed Anaheim Municipal Code Violations. On September 16, 2003, Mr. Helguero submitted a reinstatement application to the City of Anaheim Planning Department. On October 21, 2003, at the requesk of the Planning Department, I conducted an inspection at Plaza Garibaldi Restaurant and observed the flags and banner had been removed. The arch type sign was still located in the south/west corner of the property. Also the signs attached to the exterior of the building were still present. I conducted an inspection inside the restaurant and found that it was operating as a restaurant with the sale of alcoholic beverages. REINSTATEMENT OF C.U.P. # 2003-04781 PLAZA GEARIBALDI RESTAURANT PAGE TWO The owner Mike Helguero was not on site and I spoke to him in the telephone. I requested that he provide a document to the Planning Department that the sale of alcoholic beverages shall not exceed forty percent of the gross sale for athree-month period. He stated that he would obtain the information and submit it to the Planning Department. I also spoke to him about charging a cover charge for the entertainment that he provides. He told me that on some nights there is a cover charge, but not every night. Asked what the hours of operation were, he told me they open at 11 AM and on Friday and Saturday nights they close at 1 AM and the other nights they are open until 9 PM. I further observed a sign on the wall of the lobby that states "No Dinner a $10.00 Cover Charge, two drinks minimum.." Upon return to my office 1 checked the City of Anaheim Business Division records and found the business license for the restaurant was still expired and their Dinner Dance Permit condition number eight states that no admission fee, cover charge, nor minimum purchase shall be imposed upon patrons for the sole purpose ofdancing. (Copy Attached) On October 23, 2003, I spoke to Mr. Helguero on the telephone regarding his expired business license and the cover charge for his Dinner Dance Permit.

This irregular shape provides limited locations for sign placement thatwould be visible from Anaheim' BouleJa~d. The justification form further states that other properties in the immediate area have multiple monument signs located closer than 300 feet apart, therefore depriving'this property of privileges currently enjoyed by neighboring properties within4he vicinity (13j ` Staff has'reviewed this request and has determined that Code Section 18.05.093.040 (minimum distance between monument and freestanding type signs) was intended to keep , j signs evenly distributed along;the street frontage and prevent unsightliness associated with placing signs too close together. This property has a large street frontage, which`is conducive to two (2) monument signs. Staff inspections have identified'that the proposed location of the additional monument sign is appropriate and that the irregular shape of the property does limit both sign placement and visibility along Anaheim Boulevard. Further, the additional sign'would provide guidance to customers driving on Anaheim Boulevard. Therefore, staff is recommending aooroval of this, request. .FINDINGS: r (14) !When practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships result from strict enforcement of the ` Zoning Code, a modification may be granted for the purpose of assuring that no property, because of special circumstances applicable to it, shall be depraved of privileges commonly r enjoyed by other properties in the same vicinity antl zone.

Therefore, before any variance: is grantetl by the Planning Commission,?jt shall be shown: (a) That there are special' circumstances applicable to the propertysuch as size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, which do not apply to other identically zoned properties in the vicinity; and (b) That strict application of the Zoning Code deprives the property`of privileges enjoyed by other properties under identical zoning classificationin the vicinity. RECOMMENDATION: (15) Staff recommends that, unless additional or contrary information is received during the meeting, and based.: upon the evidence submitted to the Commission, including: the 'evidence`presentedsin this staff report, and oral and written evidence presented aYthe public hearing, the Commission take the following actions: (a) By motion, determine that the project is Gategorically Exempt under Section 15311, Class 11 (Accessory Structures) of the CEQA1Guidelines. (b) By resolution, a rove Variance No. 2003-04584 (to construct an additional monument sign): (i} That this property is unique due to its irregular property lines providing limited { 'opportunities for sign visibility and placement. (ii) ;That the proposed monument sign would be appropriate based on the large 'amount of streetfrbntage for this particular property:: Page 4 Staff Report to the Planning Commission December 1, 2003 Item No. 4 (iii) That strict application of the Zoning Code deprives the property of privileges `enjoyed by other properties under identical zoning classification ih the vicinity.

DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL: (6) The petitioner requests approval of a waiver of permitted signs within the Scenic Corridor OverlayZone to construct a fteeway-oriented parapet sign. The site plans (Exhibit Nos. 1 and 2) indicate an existing 139.,462 square foot retail building`and a 64;554 square foot :'garden center under construction on the'west side'of the builtling, for a total floor area of '.204,016 square feet: Access is provided from Pullman Street to the east and the main store entrance is atthe north end of the building. The plan shows that the sign would be ::placed on'the inside portion of'an existing parapet wall above`the main entrance to the store and would face south toward theSR-91 (Riverside) Freeway. Said,sign would be ocated approximately 450 feet from the freeway. (7) Sign plans (Exhibit Nos. 3 and 4) indicatela 5-foot high by 58-foot wide illuminated channel etter sign,with orange-colored!acrylic faces and bronze returns and trim caps.

Moreover, since a majority of the retail businesses in the vicinity have property frontage and visibility adjacent to arterial highways such as Weir Canyon and La Palma Avenue, strict application of the Zoning Code would deprive the propertypf ,`privileges enjoyed by other properties under identical zoning classification in the vicinity. i Lastly, since the aggregate area of proposed wall signage fdr the home'improvernent store, 'including the proposed new parapet sign; does noYexceed the: area of wall signage', permitted under Variance No. 4251, staff recommends approval of this waiver request.

Therefore, before any variance!is granted by the Planning Commission, it hall be shown: (a) That there ate 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; and (b) That strict application of the Zoning Code deprives the. property of privileges enjoyed by other properties under' identical zoning classification in the vicinity.
