E N V I RO N M E N TAL'J M PACT AN ALYS I S:
((14) Staff has reviewed the proposal and the Initial Study (a copy of which is available for review in
the Planningpepartmegt) and finds no significant environmental impact and„therefore,' `
recommendsthat a Negative peclaration be approved upon a finding by the Planning
Commission that the Negative Declaration reflects the independentjudgment of the lead
agency; and that it has consldered',theproposad 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 tha'anvironment.
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 Elementadopted 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:
(16) Churches are'permitted within Development Area No. 2 of the Northeast Area Specific Plan
subject to the`approval of a conditional use permit.
`(17) The requested waiver pertains to minimum number of parking spaces. Code requires a
minimum of508 parking! spaces for this proposed church and other uses on the property as
described in;paragraph,no. (10) of;this report end 399 spaces are'proposed. The petitioner

1T,i2003, to substantiate the requested parking waivecThe 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 ovmnasium preschool andlor private
school would?reouire further pa~king analvsis
(18) The parking analysis also indicates the following findings to justity the 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 he number of suchspaces
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 peak parking demand for off-street parking
spaces is substantially Tower 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.

Item No. 2
(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:

(d) That the variance, under the conditions imposed, if any, witl not increase traffic
congestion, within the off-street parking areas or lots :provided for such use;

:period.
(e) That the variance, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not impede vehicular
ingress to oregress from adjacent properties upon the public streets in the'mmediate
vicinity of the proposed'use:

-The petitioner has indicated (as identified'bn Exh(bit No. 1) that a large portion of the facility
r would not be immediately improved or used for church related activities. This area'::
(approximately 31,000 square feet) would'be improved in conjunction with a future'expansion,!
'which would include a gymnasium and apre-school: Staff has`included'conditions of approval
?requiring that at such time as these improvements are proposed, an updated parking analysis:
+be submitted to staff in conjunction with the conditional use permit application, and that until
such time,4this area not be used for assembly or other church related activities, except for
`storage. Because the proposed church complies with all site development and zoning
standards (with the exception of parking which has been deemed adequate by the Traffic and.'.
Transportation Manager) required for properties and`uses within the Northeast Area Specific
Plan, staff recommends approval of this request.
(22) Although staff is recommending approval of this request, there are some concerns,'consistenE
with those' identifledby Community Development staff, that these types of uses might not be
appropriately located'within industrial areas. The Specific Plan: has been'establisfied to
'develop and maintain a stable,'diversified range of industries within this area by encouraging '
'the expansion of existing industry and discouraginguses other than industrial uses nr uses
closely related to and. supportive of industrial uses in areas designated orzoned industrial.
The establishment of uses over time within the Canyon Business Center that arenot
industrially-related has the potential of eroding the City's availability of prime indusfriai

cpportunitieswithin the,City. The Commission may wish to further note thafthere have been
'conflicts with' churches within industrial areas with regard to sensitivity to certain industrial
uses.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
DATE: FEBRUARY 2, 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 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. This property and the surrounding area have the following
attributes:
Located within Redevelopment Project Alpha (Northeast .Area) that
includes 2,366 acres of primarily industrial uses;
Agency invested more that $100 million in infrastructure improvements to
allow for the implementation of the Redevelopment Plan; and
Agency entered into an Owner Participation Agreement with Catellus
Development Corporation in 1992 and among other things, the Agreement
obligated the Owner to covenant that the property would be devoted to
only those uses identified in the Redevelopment Plan.
Catellus and the church have indicated that the church will have an employment
program, provide certain meeting facilities for surrounding businesses and
potential future uses would provide services to the area in general (e.g. day care).
The Community Development Department concurs with the Planning
Department recommendation to approve CUP 2003-04793 subject to the
condition that the Owner Participation Agreement between the Anaheim
Redevelopment Agency and Catellus Development Corporation be amended
and approved, by the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency, to allow for a church
use as a condition of approval.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact
me at extension 4809.

Item No: 3
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) Waiver (a)'pertains to maximum fence height. Code'permits a 3-foot high. fence within the
required 25-foot setback adjacent to Lincoln Avenue: This waiver pertains to Parcell as
'plans indicate an 8-foot high block wall setback 8 feet to 40 feet adjacentto Lincoln Avenue.
::The petitioner's "Statement of Justification:" states that the waiver is necessary because of '
the location of the existing Edison utility tower and as a means to screenthe proposed
storage facility from!public view: Staff has confirmed hat Southern California Edison
:requires a`minimum clearance of twenty-five feet around the existing transmission towers,
which limits the placement of the block wall to satisfy code requirements,':This waiver does
"not pertain'to Parcef 2, as the proposed wall is not7ocated iry the front setback. Moreover,
'the proposed location providesa permanent screen`wall for the proposed storage facility.
:Therefore, `staff recommends approval'df this waiver:
(17) Wavier (b) pertains to minimum front yardsetback. Code requires a minimum setback of 25
feet adjacent to Lincoln Avenue: This waiver pertains to Parcel i as plans indicate an 8 to
' 20.5 foot setback adjacent to the existing Edison utility towers. Staff views this as°a
constrainEbecause the location' of the utility tower is fixed. The petitioner's "Statement of
:Justification" states that the waiver is necessary to provide the;required clearance for
maintenance of the existing Edison utility dwers. Plans for Parcel 1 indicate the front
setback varies from t3 feet to 40'feet, with the majority of the setback satisfying the code
requirement of 25 feet. Also, as'evidenced by the proposed landscape plans, this waiver
'does not diminish the ability to provide significant landscaping along Lincoln Avenue.
Therefore staff recommends approval of this waiver.
(18) Code permits recreational vehicle storage jn the RS-A-43,000 zone subject to the approval
$f a conditional use permit and provided such storage facility is located on a property that
'meets the following criteria: (1) is integrated into a single development having a minimum
overall site area of five (5) acres; (2) is located on an irregularly-shaped property which may
be constrained by accessibility„visibility oreasemehts and which may not be suitable for
conventiohal types of'development; (3) isnot adjacent to any residential zone or is
sufficiently buffered from such'zone; (4) is'screenetl from the public right`of way; (5)' is fully
landscaped to meet code requirements; (6) the use is compatible with surrounding land
uses; and; (7) the property is not located in the Scenic Corridor Overlay Zone.
(19) To address the requirements stated above, the applicant has put together the attached letter
ofjustification. In summary, the justification states the following: (1) the proposed project
(combining the north'and south ides of property on Lincoln Avenue) is located on 6 acres of
underutilized property; (2) the project consists of two'narrow parcels with several utility
easements; (3) parcel one abuts residential development to the east (balconies of a two-
'story apartment complex and one single family home) and west (carportsof a two-story
apartment complex)'all of which will be sufficiently buffered from these uses with 15-foot
high shrubs and a 10 to 15 fooflwide landscaped setback; (4) and landscaping along Lincoln i
Avenue will dramatically enhance the current street'presentation by introducing art elements
''into the landscape areas and; where feasible, incorporating the Lincoln Avenue Corridor
Master Landscapeplan; and (5) applicant met with neighborhood groups to assist in project
''design ahdproposaL`
(20) 'The Commission may wish to note that the applicanYdid conduct projectplanning and
facilitation meetings with the surrounding!neighbdrhood and with WAND (WesfAnaheim
c Neighborhood Develdpment Cduncil). As a result of these meetings, the: applicant: is aware

of their concerns and intends to operate a neighborhood sensitive business by not allowing
any vehicle repair, washing, dumping, maintenance or other activities that would be
offensive to the surrounding residential landuses. Also, staff has received two negative
items of correspondence and one supportive item with: regard to this proposal to permit a
recreational vehicle storage facility with accessory office and waivers. The two letters'of
opposition state concerns of a commercial use in a residential neighborhood, increased
traffic, proposed landscaping, storm drain capacity and hours of'operation. The positive
item of correspondence was received by a gentleman'at the public zoning counter. He is
supportive of development as it would help eliminate graffiti and`transient concerns.
(21) Staff was initially concerned with the use of these parcels as a recreational vehicle storage
facility. Storage facilities are often' an undesirable land use, as they are an outdoor use,
'which isdifficult to screen from adjacent properties and the public right-of-way. This
proposal, however, islocated onparcels that would be difficult for conventional development
:because of the extreme lot depth'and existing utility equipment ahd easements. Also, the
proposed unique "art like" landscape improvements along Lincoln Avenuewould significantly
improve the current street scene'and provide a sufficient buffer for the storage use. In%
consideration of the irregularity and confinements of the lot and the proposed landscape
'buffer and the limited flours of operation antl other restrictions outlined in the letter of `
operation, staff recommends aa~proval of the request to permit recreational vehicle storage
at this location. However, staff believes thaf 24-hour on-site management is necessary to
address potential neigfiborhood'disturbances that may occur ahd that the landscape hedge
along the east propertyline should be extended north: (towards Yale Avenue) to buffer the
vehicles from the existing single family resitlence adjacent to the Northeast comer of the
property. Also vehicles stored at the northeast corner'should notiexceed the height of the
landscape screen.
FINDINGS:
(22) 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,
tiecause 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 code
waiver is to'prevent discrimination and none shall be approved which would have the effect
ofgranting a special privilege notshared by other similar properties. Therefore, before any
code waiver is granted. by the Commission,' ft shall be shown:
(a) That there are special circumstances applicable o the property suchas size, shape,
topography, location or surroundings, which do not apply to other identically zoned
properties in thebicinity; and
(b) That strict application of the Zoning Code deprives the property of privileges enjoyed
by other properties underidentical zoning classification iN the vicinity:
(23) Before the 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:
(a) That the proposed use is properly one for which a conditional use permit is
authorized by the Zoning Code, or that said use is not listed therein as being. a
permitted use;
(b) Thatthe proposed use will not adversely affect the adjoining land uses and the
growth and developmentof the area in whicRit is proposed to be located;
`Page 5

Item Na 3
(c) That the size and shape'of the site for the proposed use is adequate to allow the full
developmentbf the proposed use in a manner not detrimental to he particular area
nor to the peace, health,. safety, and genera welfare;
(d) That the traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue burden upon
the treets and highways designed,and improved to carry the traffic in the area; and
(e) That the granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed, if any,
wiil'not be detrimental to the peace; health, afety and`general welfare of the citizens
of the City of Anaheim.
RECOMMENDATION:
(24) .Staff recommends that, unless additional or contrary, informatioh is received during the
'meeting, and based upon the evidence'submitted to he Commission,'including the evidence
presented in this staff report, and oral and written evidence presented afthe public hearing, ',
the Commission take'the following actions:
{a) By motion, aoorove the CEQA Negative Declaration. `
(b) By motion, aoorove waivers pertaining to (a) maximum fence height and (b)
minimum front yard setback based on the following:
(i) , That these waivers are a function of providing adequate clearance for'
maintenance of the existing Edison towers. The property has special
circumstances since it is already developed with the utility towers and the
waivers only pertain to the portion of the projectas neededto provide the
necessary buffer around the owers; therefore, strict application of the Zoning
Code would deprive this property of privileges granted to other existing RSA-
: 43,000'zoned properties within the vicinity.
(c) ey resolution, a rove Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-04816 (to permit a
recreationalvehicle'storage facility and accessory modular office building) based on
the followingi
(i) That the recreational vehicle storage facility with accessory office is listed as a
conditionally permitted use within the RS-A-43,000 Zone, and as conditioned
herein, would not adverselyaffect the,adjoining and uses'and the growth and
development of the area in which it is proposed td be located.
(ii) That the size and'shape of the site is large enough to support the recreational
> vehicle'storagew~h an accessory office in a manner nofdetrimehtal to the
particular area nor to the peace, health, safety, and general welfare.
(iii) That the traffic generated by he proposed recreational vehicle storage facility
with accessorybffice would not impose an undue burden on the streets and
highways as this Use does not generate a large number of vehicle trips and is
designed with adequate on=site circulation.
(iv) That the granting'of this conditional use permit under the conditions imposed
(including the prohibition ofmaintenance, washing and or waste dumping as
accessory to the recreational vehicle storage facility), would not be detrimental
to the peace, health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of the City of
Anaheim.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS:
(9) Staff has reviewed the proposal and the Initial Study (a copy of which is available for review
in the Planrting Department) and-finds nosignificantehvironmental impact`and, therefore,
recommends that a Negative Declaration tie approvetl upon a finding by the Commission that
the declaration reflects the independent judgment 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 nitial Study and any:
comments received that there is:no substantial evidence that the projectwill have a
significant effect on the environment,
GROWTH MANAGEMENT ELEMENT ANALYSIS'
(10) The proposetl project has been reviewed byeffected City departments to determine whether it
conforms with the City's: Growth' Management ElemenNadopted by the City`Council on March
17,.1992. Based on' City staff review of the: proposed project„it has been'determined that this
project doeshot fit within the scope necessary to require a Growth Management Element
analysis; therefore, no analysis has been performed.
EVALUATION:
(11) The Anaheim: Resort Specific Plan permits fast-food restaurants subject to the approval of a
!Conditional'. Use Permit.
(12) Based upon a review of the submitted plans,, staff supports the proposed Conditional Use
Permit, as the fast food use is consistent with the provisions of the Anaheim'Resort Specific
Plan, all uses are fully contained within the retail unit and the operation of the fast food' uses
will not negatively affect; adjoining land uses.
(13) The requested waiver pertains to the minimum number of required parking spaces. Code
requires a minimum of 109 on-site parking spaces for fie commercial retaiC'center as indicated '
in paragrap6(7) of this staff report: The submitted plans indicate a total of 42 existing;parking
spaces. Petitioner has submitted a Parking Study prepared by Traffic Safety Engineers dated
October 10, 2003, to substantiate the requested waiver. Based upon a survey of the existing
parking demand, said Study indicates that the peak parking demand for the commercial retail
center is projected to be 26 spaces (16 spaces less than the existing 42 parking spaces). The
City's Traffic and Transportation Manager has reviewed'the Studyand has determined: that the
existing 42-space parking lot would be adequate for theproposed'-use. Therefore, the City's
Traffic and Transportation Manager has approved the Study as being adequate for the
requested parking waiver. A copy of the approved Study has been providers to the Planning
Commission and is on file and available forpublic review in the Planning Department.
The Parking Study also provides information to support the following required findings which
are set forth in Section 18.06.08Oof the Anaheim Municipal Codeand which' must be made
before parking waivers ere approved by the Planning Commission:
(a) That the variance,'underthe conditions imposed, if any, will not cause fewer off-street
parkingspaces fo be provided forsuch'use than fhe number of such spaces necessary
to accommodate'all vehicles?attdbutable to suchuse under the normal and reasonable
foreseeable conditions of operation of such use..<
The approved Parking Study indicates that the peak parking'demand for the full
occupancy of the retail center including the subject use is projected to be 26 parking
spaces, which is lower than the existing 42 parking spaces. Therefore, the project will
not cause fewer off-street parking: spaces to be provided for such use. than the Dumber

of such spaces necessary td accommodate all vehicles attributable to such use under
the normal and Yeasonable foreseeable conditions of operation of such use. , >.
(b) That the waiver, under the conditions imposed, ff any, will not increase the demand and
competition for parking spaces upon; the public streets in the immediate vicinity of the
proposed use.
The approved Parking Study indicates that the proposed project will not increase the
demand and competitionfidr parking.. spaces upon the public streets ih the immediate
vicinity of the proposed project as the existing parking lot will be able to accommodate
the retail center's peak parking demands (the peak parking demand for the site is 26
spaces, which islower than the 42 parking spaces currently provided). Further, on-
streefparking is not permitted on Katella Avenue or on Haster Street; the public streets
adjacent to the'subject property.
(c) That fhe waiver, under the conditionsimposed, if any, will not increase the demand and
compettion for parking spaces upon adjacent private property in the immediatevicinity
of the proposed use.
The approved Parking Study indicates that the proposed project will not cause any
demand for parking on private property in the vicinity of the proposed use as the retail
center parking Idt is physically separated from adjacent properties and the peak parking
demand of 26 parking spaces is lowed than the 42 parking;'spaces currently prouided.
(d) That the waiver,'under the condRions'imposed, if any, will not increase traffic congestion
within'the off-street parking areas or lots provided for such use.
The approved Parking Study indicates that traffic congestion will not occur within the off-
street: parking areas, as the existing spaces would more than accommodate the
projected peak parking demand ~f 26 parking spaces. Further, two driveways from
Katella Avenuerand one driveway from Haster Street currently serve the retail center
andprovide access to the: property.
(e) That the waiver,:. under fhe conditions imposed, if any, will not impede vehicular ingress
to or egress from adjacent properties; upon fhe: public streets in the immediate vicinity of
fhe proposed use.
The approved Parking Study indicates that the proposed project will not impede
vehicular,ingress to or egress from adjacent properties upon the public streets. in the
immediate vicinity of the project as the retail cehter is physically separated from the

PROJECT TIARRATIVE
In order to respond to the Pre-File Interdepartmental Committee (IDC)
comments, we have revised the initial pre-file submittal of this project to
accommodate/answer the conclusive findings stated by the IOC. In the spirit of
co-existence and community alliance, this RV storage project has, and will
continue, to blend with the community and provide a welcomed asset to the
neighborhood and its environment.
It is under this pretense that we submit for approval the Anaheim RV storage
project along Lincoln Avenue, subject to the approval of a conditional use permit.
This Recreational vehicle (RV) storage project provides a community sensitive,
visually pleasing usage of this Southern California Edison property, that limits its
development due to the high voltage lines and structures throughout the site.

In response to the IOC staff comments relative to the code requirements to allow
Recreational Vehicle storage via a conditional use permit, please find the `
following respective narratives.
CODE PERMITS RECREATIONAL VEHICLE STORAGE, BY CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
i -Use is integrated into a single development having a minimum overall sife
area of 5 acres.
Response: This project consists of 2 pieces of property that total up to 6.3
acres (4.3 acres on the north side of Lincoln Avenue and 2.0 acres on the
south side of Lincoln Avenue).
ii -The site is located on irregularly shaped property, which maybe constrained
by accessibility, visibility, or easements that may not be suitable for conventional
type of development.
Response: The property involved in this project does not lend itself to
conventional types of future development due to the Southern California
Edison high voltage lines and structures that coincide with the property.
The existing nursery usage has proven to not be an economical
development for this site.
Although, there is access to these two pieces of property off of West
Lincoln Avenue and Yale, the high voltage lines and structures makes this
property best suited for non-residential usage.
iii- Is not adjacent to any residential zone, or is shown to be sufficiently buffered
from such zone.
Response: The property involved in this project bordered by commercial
retail and residential zones (medium density and low density) which are
buffered from the proposed use by means of an 8 foot high masonry wall
around the entire site, except adjacent to the existing flood control channel
where there is chain link fencing.' At the location where there are 2 story
apartments, an additional buffer of 15' tall hedge type landscaping shall be
planted screening the apartments view of the RV Storage facility.
iv.- Is screened from the public right-of-way.
Response: The property involved in this project shall be screened from
the public right-of-ways with an 8 foot high masonry wall, and sculptured
(art element) landscaping along West Lincoln Avenue, and an 8 foot high
masonry wall with a blend of trees, bushes, and ground cover compatible
with the current landscaping of the neighborhood adjacent to Yale Avenue.
Date Prepazed: November 25, 2003
Project: Anaheim Recreation Vehicle Storage
Paee 1
CUP N0. 2003 - 0 ~ E 1 6
V.-The use is compatible with surrounding land uses.
Response: This project, in an attempt to be a compatible member of the-
surrounding neighborhood has incorporated complementing "ART
ELEMENTS" to enhance the Lincoln Avenue environment creating a focal
point along the overall corridor master plan. The components will both
screen the proposed RV Storage use and attract the viewers' attention
away from the existing Edison facilities.
Also the gate along Yale Avenue, necessary for emergency access, shall be
locked. Recreational Vehicle access shall only be from Lincoln Avenue.
In order to inform the community of this project, to get them involved in its
design and development, and explain this integration, we have had three
informative meetings with the community. We met with Ester Walls and
two of the West Anaheim Neighborhood (WAND) Executive Board members
in September of this year and then again with the Executive Board on
October 1~. In both meetings, we went over the design theme and layout of
the project along with the public art feature proposed along Lincoln. We
also presented the project and its environmental design to the community
at the general WAND meeting on 10/8/03. All three of these meetings
resulted in a positive reaction from the community per the incorporation of
this project into the neighborhood as well as complementing the overall
Corridor Master Plan of the area.

DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL:
(6) This request is to expand a parking lot for patrons of the adjacent church (Buddhist
Temple) located contiguous`to the northeast comer of the property at 909 Southbale
Avenue: The site plan (Exhibit No. 1) indicates the 52-space parking lot would be
constructed on a vacant lot and would'be accessed from the adjacent: church property and
from Bail Road. The site plan shows the placement of two, ;12-foot high light standards in
conformance withCode located at the north and south ends of the parking lot along the
centeFrows of parking.
(7) The landscape plan (Exhibit No. 2) indicates 14 new trees would be planted. Plahs show
the proposed trees would consist of 6 crape myrtle trees (24-inch boxsize) and 4 fern pine'.
trees (15 gallon) in the front landscaped setback along Ball`Road and within the required
15-footwide interior setbacks along the west and'north property lines.' The planalso shows
1 crape myrtle tree (24-inctrbox size) and 3 fem pine trees (15 gallon).: in the interior
parking lot landscape areas: Groundcover would eonsist ofvinca minor, flowering shrubs,.
' bamboo, hedges and perenrtials. Plans also show clinging vines adjacent to the: interior
side of the existing and new'masonry walls to discourage graffiti. Code requires a
landscape setback of 25 feet adjacenfto Bali Road and 15 feet adjacent to the
residentially-zoned; properties to the north and west. Code also requires 1 tree for every 20
feet of street frontage (5 trees) and a landscape planter with a tree separating every 10
parking spaces.
(6) Plans show a new 8-foot high block wall along the west and: north property lines a new 6-
foot higfi wrought iron fence setback 12 feet fromBall Road and the retention of an existing:
block wall along the east property line.' Code allows a maximum 3-foot high fence height
within the front yard setback: (The soutfierly 25 feet of the property).
(9) ! Access to the accessory parking lot would be from the existing adjacent church parking lot
which is accessed from Dale Avenue: Plans indicate one existing driveway and one
proposed driveway on Ball Road for the new parking lot. The applicant has stated that the
two driveways dh Ball Road'would be used for emergency ingress and egress only. During
normal'church operations the proposed gate would be closed prohibiting access to the
parking lot from these driveways.
(10) The petitioner's letter of operation indicates that the adjacent church for which the parking
lot is td be constructed currently holds one Sunday religious'service at 10 a.mr with
approximately 200 congregahts. The'petitioner further states that the weekday(Monday,
Page 2

Item No. 4
Wednesday, and Friday) usage is primarily Jimited to evenings for small groups (ranging in
.size from`30 to 60 persons). Other activities include youth basketball ortSundays and
weddings and funerals on an as-needed basis.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS:
(11) Staff has reviewed tha proposal and the Initial Study (a copy of which is available for7eview
rn the Planning Department) and finds no significantenvironmental impactiand, therefore,
recommends that a Negative Declaration tie approved upon a finding by the Planning
Commission that the Negative beclaration`reFlects the independent judgment of the lead
agency; and that it has considered the proposed Negative Declaration together with any
. comments 7eceived 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 ttre
;project will: have a significant effect on the environment.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT ELEMENT ANALYSIS:::
(12) The proposed project has been reviewed by affected City departments to determine
'whether it aonforma with the. City's Growth Management Element adoptedby the City
.Council on`March 17,:1992. Based on City(staff review of the proposed project, it has been
determined hat this project does not fit within the scope necessary to require a Growth
Management Elemehfanalysisj kherefore, no analysis has been'performed.
EVALUATION:
(13) Churches, including accessory parking, are. conditionally permitted uses inahe RS-A-
'43,000 Zone. This request is to provide additional accessory parking on an adjacenE
7esidential' lot for the exclusive use of the church. No`new structures are proposed on the
existing or expanded property. The parking for the existing church was previously
:..approved as Code conforming under Conditicnal Use Permit Nos. 380, 2067 and 3796.
The proposed expansion would add 52 additional spaces bringing the total number of
spaces on both properties to 175. Currently, Code would require approximately 138>
;spaces for this church facility.
(14) Waiver (a) pertains to the minimum landscape setback adjacent to an arterial highway.
Code requires a minimum 25-foot wide front yard lahdscaped setback and 10 feet is`
proposed. The church at 2885. West BaII Road (west. of the subject property) was granted
a'setback waiver in conjunction with Conditional Use Permit No 1012 approved on March
i 25, 1968. `Further, the intent of the RS-A-43,000 zone is for the development of single-
' family homes, agricultural uses'and to act as a "holding zone" until such time as the
property is developed consistent'with the General Plan. In this case, applying the
standards of the underlying zoning would not be appropriate for the development of the
accessory parking lot,: In addition, the lot is constrained by residential uses on two sides
`requiringlandscaped etbacks that limit the use of the lot; and therefore, staff supports the
waiver of the required front yard'setback. '
(15) Waiver (b) pertains to' maximum fence height. CodeYestricts the maximum height of any
fence, wall, hedge or berm to tfiirty-six: t36i inches within any required front yard setback
'area. Plans indicate a 6-foot. high wroughYron fence approximately 12 feet from the south
`property line. Similar to the reasons identified for waiver (a) atiove, including applying the
RS-A-43,000 zone standards to development of the accessory parking lot and setback
constraints posed by the adjacent residential uses, staff recommends approval of the
waiver.

Item No. 4
(16) The church has been operating at this location since the early 1960's The proposed
parking lot would help alleviate any possible spillover parking on adjacent properties and
streets' and if approved as recommended by staff, would result in a larger landscaped
setback than currently exists.
FINDINGS:
(17) When practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships result from strictenforcement of the
Zoning`Code, a modificatibn may be'granted for the purpose of assuring that 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 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
code waiver is granted by he Planning Commission, it shall be shown:
(a) That there are special circumstances applicable to the property such assize, shape.,
!topography, locationor 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 iderttical zoning classification in the vicinity.
(18)i Before the Planning Commission grants any conditional use permit, it must make a finding
of fact that the evidence presented shows that ail: 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 that said use is not listed therein as being a
permitted use;
(b) 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;:
(c) That the size and shape of the site for the'proposed use is adequate to allow the ful(
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 and improved to carry the traffic in the

development of this properly in accordance with the current zoning is not
practical given the intent of the RS-A-43,000 zone as either a "holding zone"

production. Since there are no existing single-family residences adjacent to
the front of thisproperty, staff feels that applying;such standards would not
be appropriate.
(ii) That strict application of the Zoning Code deprives the property of privileges
enjoyed by other propertiesunder identical zoning classification in the
vicinity including he church'at 2885 West BaIlRoad that is identically zoned
with a conditional use permit to establish a church with a setback waiver.

"a.m. to midhight. The theater employs 6 to 8 staff members Monday through Thursday and
12 to 14 staff members Friday; Saturday and Sunday. The letter' further indicates the'
proposed arcade would be located within the theateriobby and would only be accessible to
customers who have purchased an admission ticket to view a movie.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTANALYSIS:
(10) The Planning Director's authorized representative has determined that theproposed project
falls within the definition of Categorical Exemptions,'Section 15301, Class.1 (Existings

(11) The proposed project has been reviewed by affected City departments to determine
whether it conforms with the City's Growth Managemeht Element adopted,by the City',
Council on March 17,::1992. Based on City tall review of the proposed project, it has been
determined'thatthls project does: not fit within the scope necessary to require a Growth

EVALUATION:
(12) Code permits an arcade in the SP 94-1 (DA 5) (SC) zone subject to approval of a
conditional use permit:
(13) Staff feels that the proposed arcade would not have a'negative impact on the surrounding
` ]and uses tiased on the fact that use of the arcade would only be available for patrons of
the movie theater who have paidadmission and are waiting for their film to begin. The use
js also compatible to the surrounding retaituses to the south and east.
(14) Staff has recommended specific conditionsof approval pertaining to the operation ofthe
arcade intended to preserve the peace, health, safetyand general welfare of the citizens of
the City of Anaheim. These conditions are consistentwith those approvetl for the existing
amusement arcade business located to the south across La Palma Avenue (Nickel, Nickel).
As conditioned, staff feels that the proposed arcade is appropriate at thislocation.
> (15) Staff inspections have confirmed that the properly is currently being properly maintained
and that the landscaping installed along La Palma Avenue is in compliahce with Code.

(a) That the proposed use is' properly one for which a conditional use permit is
authorized by the Zoning Code, or that said use is not listed therein as being a

portion adjacent tp the pump island canopy along La Palma Avenue, which would be 5 feet in
'width. The reduction is proposed to facilitate improved'on site vehicular access and
circulation. The intentof this section, requiring a fully lahdscaped'setback abutting arterial
highways, into enhance and soften the streetscape along major thoroughfares, as weH as
improve the aesthetic quality of the City's commercial facilities. A survey of he three
commercial properties o the east. of the property indicated that these adjacent properties have
landscaped setbacks varying from'0-10 feet in width (only one property hasa full 10-foot wide
landscaped setback). The Commission may wish to note that existing landscaping oh the
property along La Palma Avenue varies froml5-10 feet in width. Additionally, the proposed on-
site landscaping for this'project would meetthe intent of the Code.: by enhancing and softening
the streetscape along La Palma Avenue and Sunkist Street, as well as improve the aesthetic
quality of this`commercial facility. iDue to the existing location of the canopyand on-site traffic
and circulation issues„the petitioner has reduced the lahdscaping to five (5) feet in witlth only
along this portion of the La Palma Avenue frontage. Because the strict application of the Code
deprives the`subject property of a'privilege enjoyed by two (2) of tfie three, (3) commercial
properties to the east, and because of the constraints imposed by he location of the existing
canopy andfhat the proposed landscaping js no less than what is'currently existing on-site
(nonconforming), staff'recommends approval of the requested waiver.
(20) Although the petitioner has responded to staffs concerns pertaining to landscaping and design
throughout the preliminary review,process, and the proposal has tesulted in a design more
consistent with the goals and stantlards of the community, there are still items of concern
throughout the site where staff believes improvements can be made. Staff recommends the
following enhancements be incorporated into: the project:
+ That all palm trees be a minimum 8-10 foot brown trunk height (BTH) in size.
+ Thatan additional five (5) 8-10 foot BTH Queen Palm trees be planted within he
landscaped setback adjacent to La Palma Avenue and Sunkist Street (eight (8) trees
along each frontage).
• That the landscaped planter area proposed atfhe northeast corner of the property be
extended soutfierly to the=first 4-foof by 4-foottree well
• That a total of five trees and associated planter areas be installed within the parking
areas as required by Code. Any trees proposed shall be evergreen and a minimum
24-inch box oF8-10 footBTH in size;
+ That the landscaped settiack areas along Sunkist Street and La Palma Avenue be
constructed with a minimum 3-foot high berm.
• Thatall shrubs be evenly distributed throughout all planting areas.
• Thaf vines be planted on the trash enclosure to reduce graffiti opportunities.
• Thatthe brick veneer treatment cap'be enlarged/enhanced on each building elevation
andthe canopycolumns to provide depth and articulation to the structures.
• That faux angular support brackets be installed on the support columns to enhance
the design of the existing'canopy.
' • Thata final sign program be submitted for staff approval detailing size, materials and
placement of ali signage.
Commission should note that the petitioner Etas expressed a willingness to work with staff on
achieving a high qualityproject by'addressing the design issues identified in this report.
Therefore, staff has added conditions of approval to require final plan review and approval by
staff.

7b.'' VARIANCE NO 2004-04596 (Resolution)
SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION:
(1) This rectangularly-shaped, 0.17-acre property has a frontage of 63 feet on the south side df Tyler
' Avenue, a maximum depth'of 115. feet and is located 410 feet west of the centerline of Grand
Avenue (3126 West Tyler Avenue).
REQUEST:
(2) ' The petitioner requests waiver of the following to retain and permit ah existing 6-foot high fence
within the required front yard setbadki
SECTION NO. 18.04.043:101 Maximum fence heioht. (3 feet high
permitted in the frontyard setback;
6 feet high existing and proposed)
BACKGROUND:
(3) This property is currently developed with asingle-family home, is zoned RS-7200 (Residehtial,
Single-Family) and is designated for Low-Density Residential land uses on the Anaheim General
Plan Land Use. Element Map. This property is also located within the West Anaheim Commercial
Corridors Redeyelopmenf Project Area.
(4) ' Surrounding General Plan land use designations are as follows:
.Direction General Plan Designation
All Directions Low Density Residential
PROPOSAL:'
(5) `. This request is the result of a Code Enforcement action where the fence was being constructed
without Zoning pivision approval or abuilding permit. The site plan;(Exhibit No 1) indicates an
existing, unpermitted fence along the'north (front) property line, facing Tyler Avenue. The plan also
shows an existing house in the approximate center of the lot fronting on Tyler Avenue.
(6) !, Submitted photographs and the elevation plan (Exhibit No 2) indicate the fence is constructed of 6-
foot high block wall pilasters and decorative wrought iron panels. A 6-foot high sliding wrought iron
gate and pedestrian access gate have been installed across the driveway.
(7) The petitioner has submitted a letter of request indicating that the unpermitted fence was installed for
security purposes to protect the children of the residence and to improve the look of the
neighborhood.

'item No. 7'
the applicant indicates the property is developed with asingle-family home,with ample space for
leisure and recreation in the rear yard. Further, the existing fence gives the: impression of a high:
barrier between the front yard'and the street.
(15) The Public Works Department has reviewed this request and confirmed that the existing fence is
currently located 4-feet within the public right-of-way atljacent to Tyler Avenue. This`right-of-way is
- specifically reserved for public improvements such as`sidewalks'and landscaped parkways. Should
the Planning Commission approve this request, the petitioner would be required to relocate the fence
out of the public right-of-way.
(16) Although there are two,(2) existing residences within the immediate neighborhood with 4-foot high
front yard fences, these fences were most likely constructed prior to the Code requirement limiting
the height df fences to a maximum of 3 feef within the required front yard setback. Because the':
property does not have an applicable hardship due toshape, size or topography, staff recommends
denial of this request.
(17) Because of the existing height and location of the applicant's fence, the line of sight between
pedestriansand vehicles maybe obstructed and maybe a cause far concern. Staffhas
recommended a condition of approval requiring the applicant to obtain approval from: the City Traffic
and Transportation Manager relating to this issue.
':FINDINGS:
(16) When practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships result from strict enforcement of the Zoning'
Code, a modification may be granted for the purpose of 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 is to prevenk discrimination and
none shall be approved which would have the effect of'granting a special privilege not shared by;
other similar propertiesi Therefore, before any variance is granted by the Planning Commission; it
shall be shdwn:
(a) That!there are special circumstances applicable to the property such as size, shape,
topography, location or surroundings, which do not apply, o other identically zoned
properties in the vicinity; and
(b) Thatstrict application of the Zoning Code deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by
other properties under identical zoning classification in the vicinity.
RECOMMENDATION:
(19) Staff recommends that unless additional or contrary information is received during the'meeting, and
based upon the evidence submitted to the Planning Commission;' including he evidence presented
in this staff report, and oral and written evidence presented at the public hearing, that he Planning
Commission'take the following actions:
