CYBER WORLD
5642 E. LA PALMA AVE #102-103
On December 2, 2003, I went to the above location to inspect for compliance with the
requirements of the Conditional Use Permit. I was at the location from 1300 hours to 1330
hours. I found the following violations of the CUP to exist:
Condition:
7. There were seven patrons in the business at the time of inspection, two of which were
male students (17 yrs) from Esperanza High School and one female (16 yrs) from Canyon
High School.......
8. The interior was dimly lighted.
9. There were several harriers/partitions that obstructed the view of the computers and the
operator when viewed from the cashier's location.
12. There were four, clothe-covered benches or couches on the west side of the business that
would seat 4-5 persons each and two small, round tables between them
13. The building was in the beginning process of being re-roofed, so no numbers could be
installed on the roof.
I took 35mm photograph.
If you have any questions or if I can be of any further assistance, please telephone me at
extension 4446.

JUSTIFICATION FOR REINSTATEMENT
Anaheim Service Station has been in existence since 1986. This facility has provided the
surrounding community a low cost alternative for fast, full service gasoline related services"such
as checking oil, fluid levels, wiper blades and tire pressure when most of these services aze no
longer being preformed by the new lazge convenience store only gasoline stations being operated
by most major oil companies. Many of the facilities clients aze elderly, disabled or on a fixed
income and this business is their only alternative to getting these services done without an
appointment or without going to a dealership which would be beyond the financial means of many
of these people.
Anaheim Service Station has also been an excellent example and a pioneer in the implementation
and maintenance of the Smog Check program being one of the first authorized Smog Check
stations in California. Their highly certified team of professionals who have almost all been with
the company since inception have helped to restore cleaner air to our surrounding community thrn
their strict adherence to the Smog Check caz maintenance program They have been able to
provide a quick and inexpensive means of Smog Check related services to the people of the City
of Anaheim with hundreds of satisfied customers when these types of services aze becoming
harder and hazder to come by.

(8) The floor plan (Exhibit No. 2) indicates that he proposed retail building would consist of one
2,019 square foot tenant space three 1,090'.. square foot tenant'spaces and a 30 square foot
'utility room. The plan indicates main entrances to all'suites onthe north elevation (facing
Ball Road). :The plan further indicates a single restroom in the rear of each tenant space.
- (9) The site plan indicates a total of two driveways are proposed forahe site, including one
driveway on?'each street frontage and a total' of 32 parking spaces proposed for the new
center. Code requiresa minimum of 31 spaces for this center based on the ratio of 5:5
parking spaces per,1,000 square feet of gross floor area of general retail'space (5.5'x
5',568/1000 = 31). Commission should note that the proposed number of spaces would
meet the minimum code requirement for general retail'uses. Future tenants such as fast
food uses with greater than temseats would'require additional parking spaces. In such a
case, the applicant would need o provide additional spaces or request a parking variance.
The plan also indicates. a trash enclosure in the southeast corner of the parking lot.
(10) Elevation drawings forahe center (Exhibit No. 3) indicate aone-story, maximum 26-foot high
commerciaFbuilding incorporating a mansard file roofwith a raised parapet'above. A
pediment iaproposed`above the wo middle' enant spaces and, further, decorative cornice
treatmentsare proposed as an accent along all parapets. Building materials would consist
of a stucco: finish to be painted a' neutral color, clay file roofing in a terracotta color and a
darker accent color fof trims and`cornices. I The storefront wouldinclude tempered glass
'windows and entryway doors. The north elevation would include`pop outsao mimic actual
columns, with the lowed portion textured and painted in the accent color, Though the size
and design of future wall signage is not depicted on the plan, the drawing contains notes
that indicate that proposed slgnage would tie located`along the lower band, below the file
Yoof treatment and pediment.
(11) The landscape plan (Exhibit No. 4) indicates a 10 to 14 foot wide landscape planter along
ttte north and west property lines'adjacent to BaII Road and Dale Avenue. The landscape
setback would consisfof 5 to 7 feet of turFarea adjacent to the right-of-way, with a variety of
shrubs in the remaining landscape area. A total of six rees along Ball Road and four trees
along Dale Avenue are identified'on the plan, The plan also indicates three landscaped
fingers within the parking area to be planted with minimum 24-inch box sized trees, of
unidentified`species. Additions(planter area is proposed along the Dale Avenue setback, for
a total planter width of up to 19,feet. Code°~equires one tree forevery 20 lineal feet of street
frontage, (7`trees required for each streetfrontage) and fast growing shrubbery or clinging
vines planted on 3-foot-centers for the trasfi enclosure. Code further requires that at least
one (1) tree?per three thousand (3,000) square feet ofparking area and/orvehicular ',
accessways'be distributed throughout the parking area and an average of forty-eighk (48)
square feetof planterarea provided per required tree,: with a minimum planter dimension of
.five (5) feet, and no more than ten (10) parking spaces shall be adjacent to each other in a
row withoutbeing separated by andscape'area with a:minimum'width of five (5) feet (12,880
square feet713000 square feet ='4 trees within associated planter areas). ,Since revisions to
afie site planhave not been updated in thelandscape exhibit, staff has included a condition
of approval requiring that a finafdandscape''plan be submitted for-Zoning Division approval.
(12) The monument sign plan (Exhibit No. 5) reflects the size and general design of the proposed
monument sign for tlie'commercial center. SThe monument sign;would not'contain the
names of any of the future tenants, but rather identification of the center as a whole (to be
named "Athenian Plaza"). The sign wouldbe 8-fooYhigh, and 90-foot wide'(with 43 square
.feet of advertising oneach side), bonstructed with an 18-inch high base, 9=inch high street
atldress numbers and'would be'comprised' of the same material and coloras the
commercia~tetai(building. According to the site plan; the monument sigh would be located

Item No: 6
at the northwest corner of the property, primarily oriented toward the Dale Avenue frontage.
Code requires that a)'all monument signsshall not exceed the: lesser of sixty-five (65)
square feet or 0.5 square foot for each linear foot of street or highway frontage of the parcel
of real property on which said sign is located; b) such ignage,be located within a

located within the plartter; c) signs include the numeric street address with numbers`ho less
_ titan nine inches in height; d) the exterior finish, color and materials of the sign shall f
complement the colors and/or materials of the building that the advertised business
occupies; and e) such ignage have a solid base at least eighteen (18) Inches in height.
(13) The submitted letter of operation includes general information regarding the number and
size of the tenant spaces. Since no tenants have been identified, the hours of operation,
employee riformatiort, and tenant mix are unknown' at this time:
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTANALYSIS:
(14) The Planning Director's authorizetl representative has determined that the proposed project
falls withinthe definition of Categorical Exemptions, Section 15303, Class 3 (New Construction
or Conversion of Small' Structures), as defined in the5tate CEQA Guidelines and is, therefore,
exempt from the requirement to prepare additional envronmentafdocumentation.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT ELEMENT ANALYSIS':
(15) The proposed project has been reviewed by affected City departments to determine whether
iPconforms with the City's Growth Management Element adopted by the City Council'on
March 17, 1992. Based on Citystaff review of the proposed project, it hasibeen 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:
(16) Commercial. retail centers (three or more tenant spaces} are permitted in the CL Zone
+subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. ;
(17) Staff is concerned that the size of the site is not adequate to allow for the full development of
the project: ih a manner not detrimental to the particular area. Although the petitioner' has
included a 12- by 24-foot loading;area adjacent to Dale Avenue, tall feels that it may be
underutilized by tenant: spaces do the opposite side of the property. The size of the property
does not allow for a rear access and loading area, which would,typically be an important
componenfof a strip retail center. As witfi a previous, proposal for a commercial retail center
on a similarly-sized property at tfit: southwest comer of Brooknurst Streefand Lincolh
Avenue, staff believesthat delivery vehicles would likely utilize the proposed customer
parking area (specifically the drive aisle) and would Ihtertere with on-site vehicular parking
and circulation. As part of the Zoning Code update, staff is considering the addition'of
development standards specific'td commercial retail ct:nters in order to address the: site
design and functipnalty issues associated'with this. type of commercial development:
(18) Inaddition td the functional aspects of the proposed project, staff is also concerned with the
'proposed commercial use of thei property. Although'commercfal retail centers arelfsted as
conditionallypermitted`uses within the current zoning; he use is inconsistent with broader
plans for the site, specifically the'General Pian Land Use and Housing Elements. As
identified inparagraph nos. 3 and 4 of this;report, this property, as well as the adjacent
properties to the north,.. east and south, are designtated for Medium-Density Residential land
uses on the Anaheim General Plan Land:Use Element Map.

Item No. 6
`(19) As indicated in the attached memorandum from the Community Development Department
'dated December 31;:2003, this site is located in the West Anaheim Commercial Corridors
Redevelopment Project Area (WACCRPA), identified'as a Housing Opportunity Site in the
'City's Housing Element of the General Plam and is further designated for residential land use
in the WesFAnaheim Vision Plan' The establishmentofthls small "strip center' is
inconsistentwith the long-term goals and objectives ofahe WACCRPA, the'Housing Element
:ofahe General Plan and the West Anaheim Vision Plan. The position of the'Community
Development Department is noon support of the proposed project.
(20) Undersized commercial properties, as well as small commercial centers tend to contribute to
blight and blighting influences due to their inability to establish along-termcritical mass
customer base needed'to sustain them. 'Since WeskAnaheim is already saturated with
;these centers, allowing another strip retail development at this location would be
inconsistentwith the need to improve the community. ' Staff concurs with the Community
'Development Department and recommends denial of this project:
`HOUSING ELEMENT ANALYSIS:
(21) Effective January 1, 2003, Government Code Section 65863 restricts a city's ability to
reduce the maximum'allowable density on property in'areas already designated or zoned for
residential uses to a level below the density used by the State otCalifomia Housing and
Community Development Department (HCD) when determining whether a city's Housing
Element complied with'state law: It is immaterial under the statute whether the reduction is
initiated by a!city or bya member of the putijic. A city may neither require nor permit the
reduction of density or'any such residentially-designated parcel,'unless the following findings
are made:
(a) That the'proposed reduction in density is consistent with the General Plan, including the
Housing; Element.
(b) That the remaining sites identified in the'Housing Element are adequate to
accommodate the City's share of the regional housing needs:.
Ifa city cannot make the second finding, it may still make the reduction in density if it
'identifies sufficient "adtlitional,'adequate,'and available sites" with an equal br greater'
Yesidential capacity in the jurisdiction so thakthere is no net loss'of residential unit capacity.
In some instances, it may be necessary for the city to "up-zone"`some other area of the city
in order to legally accomplish a dbwn-zoning (Government Code Section 65863). This
statute provides attorneys fees to a successful plaintiff challenging a city under the statute.
The City Attorney's Office has reviewed Section 65863 and advised that Government Code
Section 65803 statesahat the sections in Chapter 4, df which 65863 is a part, do not apply to
charter cities' except as otherwise provided. Since Section 65863 does not; specifically
indicate applicability toicharter cities, it is believed that such provision does not apply o
Anaheim, a:charter city. However', as a practical matter the reclassification,of properly
needs to be consistent with thei General. Plan, including the Housing Element. Anaheim has
a Housing Element, approved by iCD, based upon the City's provision of certain identified
Housing Opportunity Sites. To ensure that zoning actions remain consistent with the
General Plan, it is recommended that the findings in Section 65863 be utilized as a model,
and be analyzed by the City when property'is rezoned to a density below that considered in
the approved Housing'Element es amethod of determining continuing conformance with the
assumptions contained therein.

Planning Commission
January 12, 2004
Item No: 6
(22) The City's regional housing need share during the planning period 1998 to 2005, is 11,508
units. Overall, the Housing Element identified 154 housing opportunity sites throughout the
City with density ranges to accdmmodate 16,048 to 20,841 housing units. iln a conservative
analysis, a reduction in residential density which results in a loss. of fewer nan 4,500 units
'will not impact the City's ability to accommodate its share of theiregional housing need and
would remain consistent with the Housing,Element of the General Plan. The City, however,
may reduce the density on these'sites beyond 4,500 units, provitled it remains in
conformance with the approved;Housing,Element, which may be accomplished by
identitying sufficient additional, adequate, and available sites with an equal or greater'
residential density so that there'is no net loss of residential unif capacity.
(23) In order to ensure that zoning actions which grant a reduction of density on residentially
zoned properties are'consisteniwith the;City's General Plan, including the Housing Element
as approved by HCD; it is recommended that the Planning Commission utilize the
methodology set forth in Govemment Code Section 65863. Although it is believed that said
section is ndt applidatile to Anaheim as a charter city, it is recommended that the proposed
'action be oonsidered'and evaluated to determine that if the reduction of density results in a
'density level below that used by HCD when' determining whether the Housing Opportunity
Sites identified in the City's Housing Element complied with state law, that he following
findings, without waiver of the City's charter city authority, be made:
(a) That the proposed reduction in density is consistent with the General Plan, including the
Housing Element; and
(b) That the remaining sites identified in the Housing. Element are adequate to
accommodate the`City's share of the regional housing need'pursuant to Govemment
Code'Section 65584,
(24) The project'site contains one (1) of tfe two (2) parcels identified as Site No, 52 of the West
Anaheim Area in the'Housing Element witha density: range of6'to 18 units per acre: The
site is .48-acre that could accdmmodate from 3 to 9 units. The'proposed'commercial
development would result in a total maximum loss of 9 units from the maximum number of
potential units identified in the Housing Element.
(25) As noted above, reductions in residential density which result in'a loss of fewer than4,500
units will not impact he City's ability to acdommodate its share of the regional housing need
`and would remain consistent with the Housing Element of the General Plan.
(26) The Planning Commission previously recommended downzoning of the Five Points area
(southwest bf Lincoln Avenue and West Street). The downzoning effected a maximum 15-
unit reduction of parcels identified in the Housing Element. Thel Commission also
"recommended a general plan amendmentand reclassification of the Caliber Motors'site in
'the East Anaheim Area, resulting in a maximum 30-unit reduction. The prior actions`and the `
proposed commercial use of the ubject property will'result in a otal combined reduction of
a maximum of 54 units. The remaining sites identified in the Housing Element provide
residential Unit capacity in excess of the proposed 54-unit reduction in density ident~ed to
'date.
(27) Based on the foregoing, the Commission should note that this reduction of housing density
is consistent with the Housing Element and, further, hat the remaining housing dppdrtunity
`sites identified in the: Housing Element are:adequate to accommodate the' Citys share of the
regional housing need'.

Item No. 6
FINDINGS:
(28) Before the Commission grants any conditional use permit, it must make a finding of fact that
the evidencepresentedshows thatall of the following conditions'exist:
(a) That the proposed use is properly one for which'a conditiohal use permit is
- authorized by the Zoning Code, or that said use is not listed therein es being a
permitted use;
(b) That the proposed use will pot adversely 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 oflhe site for the proposed use is'edequate to allow the full
development of}he proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particulararea
nor to the peace;: health, safety, andigeneral welfare;
(d) That the traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue burden upon
the streets aril highwaysdesigned and improved to carry the traffic'n 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 tfie City of Anaheim.
RECOMMENDATION:
(29) 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
presented in'this staff report, and'oral and written evidence presented at the public hearing,
the Commission take the following actions:
(a) By motion determine that the project is Categorically Exempt under Section 15303; Class
!'3 (New Cohstruction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the CEQA Guidelines.
(b) By resolution, denv Conditional'Use Permit No. 2003-04813 (to construct: a four (4)-unit
commercial retail center), based on the following: :
(i) That although commercial retail centers are listed as conditionally permitted uses
within the CL Zone, the size of this site for a commercial retail center is
inadequate to allow the full developmentof the project in a manner not
detrimental to the particular areas
(ii) That the proposed use is inconsistent with the General Plan Land Use Element
Map as identified in paragraph no. 19 of this report.
(iii) That the subject location is designated as a Housing Opportunity Site in the
recently adopted Housing Element of the General Plan. Further; the Community
Development Department supports staffs. recommendation for denial due. to the
inconsistency of this proposal with the long-term goals and objectives of the
General Plan and the West Anaheim:Vision. Plan.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 31, 2003
TO: Elaine Yambao, Planning Department
FROM: Eduardo Hernandez, Project Manager
SUBJECT: CUP NO. 2003-04813 - 2792 W. BALL ROAD
The following provides background information in preparation for the
consideration of CUP No. 2003-04813, to permit a 4-unit commercial center
at 2792 W. Ball Road.
The subject property is located in the West Anaheim Commercial Corridor
Redevelopment Project. The current Land Use Element of the General Plan
designates this property for Medium Residential land uses, and the Housing
Element identifies this site as a Housing Opportunity Site. The West
Anaheim Vision Plan identifies the site for residential use.
The commercial center is inconsistent with the long-term goals and objectives
of the General Plan, the City's Housing Element, or the West Anaheim Vision
Plan. West Anaheim is currently saturated with small commercial centers
such as the one proposed, and to allow further development of these small
centers is inconsistent with the need to improve the community. Therefore,
the Community Development Department's recommendation is to not support
approval of the CUP.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to
contact me at Extension 4335.

transportation for their Wednesday evening tiible study:
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTANALYSIS:
(12) 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 firstling by the: Planning
Commission that the'Negative Declaration reflects the ihdependehtjudgment of the lead
agency; and that it has considered the proposed Negative Declaration together with any
comments received during the public review'process and further finding on,the basis of the
Initial Study and any comments received that there is no substantial evidence that the project
will have a significant effect on the environment.
§ GROWTH MANAGEMENT ELEMENT ANALYSIS:
(13} The proposed project has been reviewed by effected 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 Management Element
analysis, therefore, no analysis has been performed.
EVALUATION:
(14) Churches are permitted within Development Area No. 1 of the Northeast Area Specifid Plan
subjecfto the approval of a conditional use'permit.
Page 2
Staff Report to the

r'Item No. 7
(15) The: waiver pertains to minimum number of parking spaces. Code requires a minimum`of 166
parking spaces for the church as described in' paragraph no. (t3) of this report. The petitioner
has submitted a parking'analysis prepared by RK Engineering Group, Inc., dated August 27,
2003, to substantiate the: requested: parking waiver. The City Traffic and Transportation
Manager has reviewed the parking!analysis and has determined that the proposed parking
areas referenced in theparking study are not sufficient for the church and existing industrial
uses in the area. Based on the parking study, the parking supply provided on site is 21:6% of
the code-required parking for the proposed church. The parking study also'includes'290 off-
site and 35 on`-street parking spaces on adjacent properties and streets toward fulfillingthe
Code-required. parking far the church operation. Code does not permit on-street parking to be
counted toward fulfiiling,Code-required parking for a given project;: and further, this parking is
located within the public right-of-way and may be eliminated at any time as tleemed necessary
by the Traffic Engineering Division; (No on-street parking is currently allowed along the west
side of WhiteStarAvenue). Additionally, parking areas ocated ohradjacentproperties`serve
theproperty and uses on which they are located. These businesses located'on adjacent and
surrounding properties can, by right, operate 24 hours per day, seven (7) days a week. rAt any
time, depending on the level of business activity, a company may change their hours of
operation or the numberiof workers they employ to meet their company's needs. Because
these parkinglareas on adjacent properties may not always be available, staff is not
supportive of using these areas towards fulfilling Code-required parking for the church. +ln
order to utilize parking on nearby properties, each property would need to be'encumbered by
a parking variance, including parking study analysis of each on-site use. Such variances
would limit the usage on'each of the properties to a point that may'negatively affect the`on-site
business operations. The City Traffic and Transportation Manage[ has reviewed this study
andihas determined that the actual, upply of 36 spaceson the property is not adequate for
thee. proposed church due to the number of adult congregants. Staff is concerned that
available parking is not adequate to meet both the short'-term andlong-term'growth of the
church. Therefore, staff`recommends denial'of this waiver.
( (16) The Commission may wish to note,that this building is located within a recently constructed
industrial subdivision (constructed ih 2001), in which all the buildings in the area were parked
forindustrial uses (1.55 spaces/1000 gfa), with the exception of the Anaheim Hockeq_Club,
which was parked for skating/roller rinks (2.4,'spaces/1000 gfa). The Commission mayalso
wish to note that the traffic study conducted as part of the establishment of the industrial
subdivision and the hockey club calculated the potentia(traffic demand based on industrial
uses. Therefore, based'on the recdmmentlation of the Traffic Engineering. Division, staff
recommends denial of this conditional use permit.
' (17) Although the Traffic and'Transportation Manager does not support the parking waiver, the
parking study does include the fdllowing findings in support of the waiver:
"(a) That the waiver, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not cause fewer off-street
parking spaces to be provided for such use than:. the number of such'spaces
necessary to accommodate all vehicles attributable to such use under the normal and
reasonable foreseeable conditions of`operation of such use.
The parking study indicates'that the project would contain a sufficient'supply of parking
spaces to accommodate the church. by utilizing on-site parking (36 spaces) and agreed
upon off-site parking (290 spaces).
(b); That the waiver, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not increase the demand
and competition for parking paces upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of
the proposed use.
Page 3
"Staff Report to the
r Planning Commission
January;l2, 2004
Item No: 7
The parking survey and the analysis for the project and adjoining buildings indicate
that sufficient off-street parking (shaped parkirig agreements) is provided so that the
adjacent publiCstreet parking would not be necessary.
(c) That the waiver,Lnder the'conditions imposed, if any, will not increase the demand for
parking spaces Upon adjacent private property in the immediate vicinity of the
proposed use.
The parking stutly has determined that the tenants of the adjacent private properties
expressly provide agreement for the Way ofife Church to utilize their parking'spaces.
Shared parking'on the adjacent properties is accommodated due to he fact that
adjacent properties and the Way of Life Church' have different peak hours of parking
demand.
(d) That the waiver, under the conditions imposed,'if any, will not increase traffic
congestion within the off-street parking areas dr lots provided for such use.
The project will not cause jncreased traffic congestion within off-street parking areas of
the site because an efficient system'of accommodating parking demand is used. The
traffic director effectively guides traffic to off-site parking spaces thafsufficiently
accommodate the parking: demand.
(ef That the waiver,'under the conditionsimposed, it any, will not impede vehicular ingress
to or egress from adjacentpropertiesnpon the'public streets in the immediate vicinity
of theproposed use.
The off-street parking spaces provided do not impede vehicle ingress or egress from
the adjacent properties or'upon White Star Avenue adjacent to the project site."
(18) As indicated in the attached memorandum from the Code Enforcement Division dated
January 2, 2004, this application'is the result of a citizen requesffor serviceregarding?a
church operating without a conditional use permit within an existing industrial building:r
Although the request for service was received on Aprili2l, 2003, he petitioner indicated to
staff that the church has been aYthis location for three(3) years.'The Commission sfiould
note that although a business license was issued for the church on November 27,2000, the
license does not authorize the church to operate without approval of a conditional use permit,
The church was previously located at 5109%East La Palma Avenue (CUP 3595).
FINDINGS:
(19) Section 18.06.080 of the parking ordinance sets forth the following findings, which are
required to tie made before a parking waiver is approved by the Commission:
(a) That the waiver, under the conditions :imposed, if any, will not cause fewer off-street
parking spaces to be provided for such 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 uch use'and
(b) That the waiver, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not increase the demand and
competition for parking spaces upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of the
proposed use; and
(c) That the waiver, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not increase the demand and
competition for parking spaces upon adjacent private property in the immediate vicinity
of the`proposed use; and

Item No. 7
(d) That the waiver, Under the conditions imposed, ifany, will not increase traffic congestion
within the off-street parking areas orlots provided for such use; and
(e) ; That the waiver, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not impede vehicular ingress
i to or egress from adjacent properties'apon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of
theproposed user
Unless conditions to the contrary are expressly imposed upon the granting. of any waiver
pursuant to this Section by the`Planning Commissiorcor City Council, the'granting of any
(such waiver shall be deemed contingent upon operation of such use in conformance with
the assumptions relating to the: operation and intensity of the use as contained in the
rparking demand study that formed the basis for approval of said waiver. Exceeding;
violating, intensifying or otherwise deviating from anypf said assumptions as contained in
.the parkingjdemand study shalt be deemed a violation of the express conditions imposed
..upon said waiver which shall subject said waiver to termination'or modification pursuant to
the provisions of Sections 18.03.091 and 18.03.092 of this Code.
(20) Before the Commission grants any conditional use permit, it must make a finding of fact that
the evidence presented shows hat all of the following conditions exist:
(a) That the proposed use is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized
by the zoning Code, or thaf said use is not listed therein as being a permitted use;
(b) That the proposetl 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;
(c) That the size andshape of the site for the proposed use is adequate tb 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
the streets and highways'designed antl improved to carry the traffic in the area; and
(e) That the granting'pf the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed, if any, will
not be detrimental to the peace, healtfi, safety and general welfare'of the citizens of the
City ofAnaheim.
RECOMMENDATION:
(21) Staff recommends that, unless additional or contrary information is received during the
:hearing, and based'upon the evidence submitted to the Commission, including the evidence
presented in this staff report, and oral and Written evidence presented at the public hearing,
i the Commission take the folldwing actions:
(a) By motion, approve the CEQA Negative Declaration.
(b) By motion, denv the waiver pertaining to minimum number of parking spaces based on
i the following:
(i) That on-site parking would not be adequate to accommodate the number of
members that may potentially attend Sunday services resulting in,fewer off street
parking spaces being provided for such use than the number of spaces necessary
to accommodate all vehicles attributable to§uch use under normal and foreseeable
conditions of operation:
Page 5
Staff Report to the '
Planning,Commission
>January 12, 2004
item No 7
(ii) That Code does not permit the counting of on-street parking towards fulfilling Code-
required parking for a'given project; moreover, this parking is located witfiinthe
public right-of--way and may be eliminated at any timeas deemed'necessary by the
Traffic Engineering Division (no on-street parking is currently allowed along the
west side of White Star'Avenue). +Additionally, parking areas located onadjacent
properties serve the property and Uses on which theyare located: These
businesses located on`adjacent and surrounding properties can,. by right, gperate
24+hours peGday, seven (7) daysia week. At any time,'depending on the level of
business activity, a company may'change their hours of operation or the number of '
workers they employ to,meet their company's needs.' Because these parking areas
on adjacent properties may not always be available, these areasshould not be
counted toward fulfilling Code-required parking for the church. Including these
parking areas as part of the Code=requiredparking may create competition'for
parking spaces upon adjacent private property. Further, some of the properties on
the easterly ide of White Star Avenue are occupied by retail businesses that could
operate on:Sundays.
(iii) That the proposed timing of Sunday services may result in an overlap of church
patron parking on andaround the'propertywith adjacent businesses, thereby
increasing the potential for trafficcongestion'on and around adjacent
industrial/commercial properties and streets:-
(c) By resolution, denv this request for Conditional Use Permit(No. 2003-04811 to permit
and retain a church withinan existing building based on the' following:::'
(i) That the potential parking impactsassociated with the proposed church may
adversely affect the atljoining industrial landuses within the area.:
(ii) That, based on the recommendation of the City Traffic and Transportation
Manager, off-street parking provided is not adequate to support the size of the
church's congregation.
(iii) That the granting of the'conditional use permit under the conditions imposed, would
be detrimental to the peace, health, safetyand general'welfare of the citizens of the
.City of Anaheim.

CUP2003-04811
On April 21, 2003, Code Enforcement staff received a citizen's request for service in regards to
an industrial building occupied by a construction company and also being used for a church on
Wednesday nights and weekends. There was also some electrical panel concerns.
I was familiar with the location from prior contacts and was aware that Lewis & Sons
Construction (roofing company) occupied the location.
On April 28, 2003, I went to the location to inspect the property. I found the building locked.
The interior was visible and was set-up as a lobby. A bookrack was visible .and contained
religious books. There were two large buses parked on the northwest side of the building that
were identified at the roof line as," Way of Life Church." I reviewed Planning Department
records and was unable to locate a Conditional Use Permit for the church. There was a business
license for a church.
On May 2, 2003, I returned to the location to inspect the property and found there were three of
the same type church buses on the northwest side of the building and several large roofing trucks
were stored on the west side of the property. The building was locked and there was no response
when I rang the bell.
On May 9, 2003, a check of Business License records revealed the license for Lewis & Sons had
expired. I sent a Notice of Violation to the Bedrosians, the property owners of record, Mr.
Lewis, the construction business owner and Mr. Lagore, the church pastor. The notice advised
them of the violations that existed on the property which included a need for a Conditional Use
Permit, improper storage of the construction trucks and the expired business license for the
construction company. The notice advised them to immediately correct them.
On May 21, 2003, apre-file (pre-2003-00047) was submitted for the church and the comments
were retumed on June 19, 2003. A parking study was required.

Between May l6 and August 5, 2003, I worked with Mr. Lewis in removing all of the
construction trucks and equipment from the location. The construction activity ceased at this
location.
As of November 4, 2003, the application for the CUP had not been submitted. I sent a Final
Notice of Violation to the Bedrosians and to Mr. Lagore and Bette Mueller (church
representatives) that advised them of the violations existing on the property.
On November 18, 2003, the application for CUP2003-04811 was submitted.
If I can be of any further assistance or if you have any questions, please telephone me at
extension 4446.

agency; and that it has considered the proposed Negative Declaration together with any
comments received during theputilic review process and furtherflnding on the basis of the
Initial Studyand any comments received that there is no substantial evidence that theproject
will have a significant effect on the environment.

Planning,Commission

Item No: 8
GROWTH MANAGEMENT ELEMENTANALYSIS:
(14) The proposed project has been reviewed byaffected 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 Management Element
analysis, therefore, no analysis has been performed.
.EVALUATION:
(15) Churches are permitted within Development Area No. 2 of the Northeast Area Specific Plan
r subject to theiapprovaf of a conditional use permit.
(16) The requested waiver pertains to minimum number of parking spaces. Code requires a
minimum of508 parking spaces for this proposed church and other uses onthe property as
described inf paragraph no. (9) of this report and 399 spaces areproposed. The petitioner has
submitted a parking analysis prepared by Traffic Safety Engineers, Inc., dated September 17,
:2003, to substantiate the requested parking waiver. The City Traffic and Transportation
Manager has reviewed the parking analysis and has determined that the proposed parking is
sufficient for the church:' Anv future expansion including gymnasium preschool and/ororivate
school wouldreguire further parking analysis:
(17) The parking analysis also indicates the following findings to justify he requested parking
waiver:
(a) "That the variance, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not cause fewer off-street
parking spaces to be provided for such use than. the number of such;spaces
necessary to accommodate all vehicles attributable to such use under the normal and
reasonable foreseeable conditions ofbperation of such use:
The parking study indicates that the peak parking demand for off-street parking:
spaces is substantially lower than the quantity provided for he proposed church and
church office uses.
(b)' That the variance, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not increase the demand
or competition for parking spaces upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of
the proposed use;
The proposed project will not increase or compete for on street parking because its
parking lot has more than adequate parking to accommodate both the proposed
church and church office peak parking demands.
(c) That the variance, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not increase the demand
or competition for parking spaces upon adjacent private property in the immediate
vicinity of the proposed use:
The project parking lot is physically separated from other adjacent development.
Furthermore] there is no reason to encroach other parking facilities because the
project's parking' lot provides ample parking as indicated in the parking analysis'.
(d)` That the variance, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not increase traffic'.
congestion, within the off-street parking areas o~ lots provided for such use:
Page 3
Staff Report to the
Planning bommission
January 12, 2004 '
Item No:B
Traffic`and parking congestion will not occur because the supply of parking spaces for
the project site is'anticipated to be only 54% occupied during the peak parking(demand
periods
(e)' That the variance, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not impede vehicular
ingress tp or egress from adjacent properties upon the putilic streets' in the immediate
vicinityof the proposed use:
The proposed church project site is physically separated from the adjacent private
properties. Therefore, there will be no impeding of traffic access into or out of adjacent
parking lots:'
(18) Records indicate there are no current Code Enforcement violations pertaining to this property.
(19) The Community Development Department has submitted the attached memorandum dated
January 5;' 2004, indicating the proposed church is notconsistent with the goals of the Alpha
Redevelopment ProjecfArea. This redevelopment area was established in'J973 and '
encompasses a 2,566-acre area, of which2;366 acresare industrial uses within the Northeast
Area. Since'1973, the Agency has invested'more than';$100 million to correct infrastructure
deficiencies as well as other infrastructure improvements that would facilitate the
implementation of the Redevelopment Plan and of theNortheast Area Specific Plan (SP94-1 ).
Because there are more: than 2,600 businesses in the area (including The Boeing Company,
YKK, and Pacific Sunvvear), the City of Anaheim and the Anaheim: Redevelopment Agency
are'implementing anew ignage and branding programin the Northeast Area, "The Canyon:
Center for Advanced Technology." The site js also located withinthe Northeast Area,Specific
Plan (SP94-1 ). The specific plan was established to create a Regional Industrial Center,
whjch would provide fora wide variety of industrial and related uses, a range of services and
commercial support facilities. The application of this plan was specifically intended to provide
for'and to ensure the most appropriate use of the area, o create a harmonious relationship
among land uses and to protect the health, safety and welfare of the community. Because
the,proposedbhurch isilocated within the Northeast Area and within the 200-acre Catellus
Corporate Center, and tiecause this existing;facility is perfectly suited for the program, goals of
attracting high-wage/high tech corporate employers, and because the proposed church is not
consistent with the goals and policies of the' Redevelopment Project area, the Community
Development Departmeht does not support this request.

industrial. The proposed Zoning Code update would no onger allow the establishment of
churches or assembly halls as conditionally permitted uses within any of the Development
Areas, such aichange would limit the church from proposing modifications and/or expanding
in the future. The establishment of uses overtime within the Northeast Area hat are not
industrial/industrial-related has the potential of eroding the City's availability of prime industrial
locations for newly emerging industrial/industrial-related'businesses that create employment
_ opportunities within the City, The Commission may wish to further note that there have been
conflicts with churches within industrial areas with regard to sensitivity to certain industrial
uses.
FINDINGSi
(20) Section 18.06.080 of the parking ordinance sets forth the following findings, which are
required to be made before a parking waiver,is approved by the Commission:
(a) That the waiver, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not cause fewer off-street
parking`spaces to be provided for such use than the number of such paces necessary
to accommodate all vehicles attributable to such use under the normal and reasonably
foreseeable conditions of operation ofsuch use; and
(b) That the waiver, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not increase the demand and
competition for parking spaces upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of the
? proposed use; and
(c) That the waiver, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not increase. the demand and
competition for parking spaces upon adjacent private property in the immediate vicinity

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF ANAHEIM
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
DATE: JANUARY 7. 2004
TO: JOHN RAMIREZ
FROM: OB GORSON
SUBJECT: CUP 2003-04793 -Proposed Church @ 4905 East La Palma
The following provides background information in preparation for the Planning
Commission's consideration on January 12, 2004 of Conditional Use Permit
(CUP) No. 2003-04743, to permit a church in an existing high-image office
building, with a proposed waiver for parking.
BACKGROUND
The subject property is located in Redevelopment Project Alpha. Alpha was
adopted in 1973 by Ordinance 3190 and includes 2,566 acres, including 2,366
acres of primarily industrial uses in the Northeast Area. During the 1970's, the
Northeast Area suffered from a variety of blighting influences and infrastructure
deficiencies. Since 1973, the Agency has invested more than $100 million to
correct infrastructure deficiencies including storm drainage facilities, limited
sewer capacity, water delivery,. traffic and circulation improvements and other
infrastructure improvements that would allow for the implementation of the
Redevelopment Plan and Specific Plan 94-1. These infrastructure
improvements were intended to allow for the total build _out of 29.3 million square
feet of primarily industrial space that would employ over 65,000 employees..
This area is known as the industrial heartland of Orange County and is home to
such notable employers as The Boeing Company, YKK, Pacific Sunwear, M-Flex
Electronics, Printrak and B/E Aerospace.. In total, more than 2,600 businesses
occupy approximately 25 million square feet of industrial space and employ more
than 55,000 employees. The City of Anaheim and Anaheim Redevelopment
Agency are implementing a new signage and branding program "The Canyon:
Center for Advanced Technology".
The current Land Use Element of the General Plan designates most of the
Planning Area for general industrial uses, with small exceptions set aside for
commercial, residential, and open space uses. The General Plan states that
"...uses other than industrial uses or closely accessory to industrial will be
discouraged within areas designated or zoned for industrial uses."

This site is also located within Specific Plan 94-1 (Development Area 2 -
Expanded Industrial Area). This Development Area is intended to provide
increased opportunity for development of a mix of light industrial and corporate
headquarters, research and development uses with essential support services at
strategic locations. The Specific Plan was designed to meet the goals of the
General Plan and Redevelopment Plan for Project Alpha. Goals include:
• Improving the marketability of existing land uses;
• Redeveloping and improving underutilized parcels;
• Optimizing municipal revenues and sales from property taxes as well as
redevelopment increment;
• Generating sufficient revenues to fund essentialpublc improvements;
• Establishing appropriate mechanisms to fund improvements;
• Establishing the best mix of land uses based on long-range economic,
planning and environmental considerations, and
• Protecting and enhancing the integrity and desirability of industrial sites
within the planned industrial areas of the community.
It should be noted that the Agency would lose property tax ncremeht of over
$100,000 per year. Removing the property from the tax roles will adversely
impact the Agency's ability to implement the Redevelopment Plan.
DISCUSSIOPI
The proposed church use is not consistent with the Redevelopment Plan for.
Redevelopment Project Alpha and could have negative impacts on the planned
growth projections of the Redevelopment Plan, Specific Plan 94-1 and other
current or future branding, image and/or marketing programs. In short, the
proposed church use is not consistent with the intent of planning efforts for this.
area that have been in place since 1973 nor is it consistent with the current
signage and branding program goal to attract high-wage corporate employers
and/or high-tech manufacturing jobs, especially since this existing facility is
perfectly suited for the program goal. This high-image, 130,000 square foot
facility (strategically located along the La Palma Corridor) is suitable for a major
employer to employ several hundred high wage employees and this use would
:meet the goals and stated objectives of the General Plan, Specific Plan and
Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Alpha.
Planning Commission Meeting -CUP 2003-04793
January 7, 2004
Page 3
Specific to this site, the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency (Agency) entered into
an Owner Participation Agreement (OPA) with Catellus Development
Corporation (Owner) on January 7, 1992. The purpose of the OPA is for the
Agency to implement the Redevelopment Plan for Project Alpha by inducing the
Owner to construct the 130,000 square foot research and development building,
thereby increasing the property tax increment and increasing and maintaining
business and employment opportunity within the Project Area. The Agency
invested over $350,000 in the development. The OPA includes covenants,
conditions and restrictions that included the Owner covenant to devote the
Property only to those uses specified in the Redevelopment Plan and in the OPA
(research and development). This covenant remains in effect through the
duration of the Redevelopment Plan, which is July 19, 2008. In short, the
proposed church use is not allowed under the terms of the OPA.
RECOMMEIdDATIOtd
Based on the above findings, stated objectives and contractual obligations of the
owner, the Community Development Department does not support approval of
CUP 2003-04793.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact
me at extension 4809.

(13) The submitted letter of operation indicates the proposed hours'of operation for the
automobile glass, sterec and alarm sales and installation would be 7 a.m to 5 p.m:; daily in
'the winter and 7 a.m. 0 6 p.m. during daylight savings time. The letterfurther indicates the
proposed building would include an automotive glass and installation shop with three bays
and astereo/alarm shop with one bay, a showroom and restrooms. All installation would
take place'jnside the;proposed building.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS:
(14) The Planning Director's authorized representative has determined that the proposed project
falls within the definition of Categorica(Exemptions Section'15301, Class 1 (Existing
Facilities},; as defined in the State CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) Guidelines
and is, therefore, categorically'exempffrom the preparation of further environmental
°tlocumehtation.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT ELEMENT ANALYSIS;
(15) 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 c
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:
(16) Code permits automobile glass,'stereo and alarm sales installation businesses in the CL
'Zone subject to approval of a conditional use permit'
(17) A request to permit automobile glass, stereo and alarm sales and installation building and a
walk-up restaurant with 200 square feet of outdoor dining was originally approved'at this
location in October, 1997. At that time, Commission;approved'a 2-story, 3,460 square foot
building. The request before the Commission today is less intense, and staff feels that the
proposed use would not have a,hegative impact on the surrounding land uses basetl on the
fact that the proposed automotive installation of windshields antl stereos would takeplace
entirely indoors and not be visible from Beach Boulevard or the mobile home residents to
the west. The use is also compatible to the surrounding retail uses to the`north ahd east
and is compatible to the existing auto recycling business.
(18) Staff has recommended specific. conditions of approval pertaining to window signage,
landscaping, site maintenance and operation intended to preserve the peace, health; safety
and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Anaheim. As conditioned, staff feels that
the proposed automobile glass, stereo and alarm sales and installation business is '!
appropriateat this location.
(19) Staff inspections have confirmed that the property is currently being properly maintained
'and that the landscaping installed along Beach Boulevard is in compliance with Code.
FINDINGS:
(20) Before the Planning Commission grants any conditional use permit, it must make a finding
of fact thafthe evidence presented shows`that all of the following conditions exist:
Page 4
