Multiple-Family) and the GeneralPlan Land!Use Element Map designates this property, and
all surrounding properties, for Low-Medium: Density Residential land uses.
PREVIOUS ZONING ACTIONS:
' (5) The following zoning actions pertain to this property:
(a} Variance`No. 3082and Tentative Tract Map No. 10669 (waiver of minimum lot width to
'' constructs 10-lot, 40-unit, RM-1200 apartment subdivision and a 3-IotCL subdivision on
3.9 acres) was approved by the Planning Commission in 1979.
(b)' Variance' No. 470 (To erect buildings formarriage, family and: general counseling,
meditation chapel and weddings on 4 acres) was approved by the Planning Commission

Item No. 2
landscaped etback is'well maintained with;groundcover, mature evergreen and palm trees
and shrubs_
(10) The letter of operation states that the facility would provide 24-hour care for up to 24 men
~ecovering,from alcohol/chemical dependency. The letter states hat counseling services
would be available only to tenants residingat the facility and that nc visitors would be'
permitted or the premises. The facility would be staffed with anon-site manager with a
maximum of three counselors on-site at any one time: Residents would not be permitted to
`dr'ive or leave the premises unless escorted by facility, staff and would be subject to regular
'drug testing: Lastly, the Commission should note that this facility would tie licensed by the
CaliforniaDepartmentofAlcohol and Drug'Programs!
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS:
(11) The Planning Director's authorized representative has determined thatthe`proposed project
.falls within'the definition of Categorical Exemptions, Section 15301, Class 1 (Existing:
Facilities),!as defined: in the State CEQA Guidelines and is, therefore, exempt fromthe
requirement to prepare additional environmental documentation.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT ELEMENT ANALYSIS:
(12) The proposed project has been reviewed by affected City departments to determine
whether iYconforms with the City's Growtft Management Element adoptediby the City
£ouncil 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 Elementanalysis therefore, no analysis: has been performed.
EVALUATION:
(13) Residential or group care facilities with seven or more residentstare permitted in all
residential zones sutiject to the'approval of'a conditional use permit.
(14) This property is currently operated as a sober living facility and is certified by a voluntary
program administered. by the County. The'Anaheim Municipal' Code does'not require a
conditional use permit for a sober living facility and licensing is voluntary, p sober living
facility is defined by the Orange County Sheriff's Department as A facility offering am'
`alcohol and drug free: residence. for unrelated adults wfio are recovering from alcohol or
drug addictions, these.. facilities may also 6e known as transitional living environments
where no drug or alcohol treatment services are provided on site. The Department of
Alcohol Drug Programs does not license such a facility to offer residential treatment for
'drug or alcohol abuse oraddiction. The request to provide on-site counseling services
alters the use of the property from a residential apartment use (sober living facility) to a
residential group care facilrty. Residential group care facilities (defined above in paragraph
no. 6) with'sevem or more residents are permitted in all residential zones subject to
approval of a conditional use permit. Residential Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities also
`require a State license from therDepartmert of Alcohol and Drug Programs.
j (15) The applicant requests to provide on-site counseling for persons residing at the facility.
`According to the applicant, all residents are screened' and referred by a California State or
:Orange County Agency. The majority of participants would be adult men with alcohol.

'; problems and would be screened by the appropriate State and/or County agencies. The
facility would be non-medical and would provide both group: and individual counseling from
8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, with a maximum of hree counselors. In'general,
treatment would be completed within thirty days; however, tenants may reside at the home
for a shorter period of time, move to a separate sober living environment pr move in with
family members. £ounseling would only be for participants residing atthe facility] further,
residents would be subject to regular drug testing'and would not be permitted to'tlrive. It
should also be noted that the existing apartment building would not be',expanded' or
modified as part of this request and would not be'recognizable as a residential care facility.
(16j Based on direction from the Commission, staff coordinated a meeting between the
applicant and concerned residents to address issues expressed during the public
hearing. This meeting was held in City Hall on RAay 4,,2004, and was attended by
Zoning'. Division staff, Police Department- Vice Detail staff, the petitioner (with two i
staff members) and four neighborhood residents. Specific concerns that were
identified by residents at the public hearing included parking problems, criminal
+ activity, residents loitering n front of the building, and the concentration of similar
facilities in the neighborhood. The foflowing'items were addressed:
• Staff clarifiedthat sober living facilities, such as that which currently exists on
the property,'are permitted withou4 any formal regulation based on the fact that
no treatment`s provided and that the residents are simply living together as a
"family." Once treatment is provided to a facility with seven or more residents, a
conditional use permit'and a license through the State of California Drug and
Alcohol Programs are required. i
' + The: petitioner described the changes in operation that would occur if the
Conditional Use Permit were approved. As described in paragraph no. 15, the
patitioner explained that residents would not be permitted to drive, maintain
vehicles at the facility or leave the premises unattended. The number of
residents would be reduced from 32 40 24and a manager would be on duty at all
times. The petitioner further explained that while a resident may attend off-site
training courses, transportation would be'provided'by the facility.
• Residents questioned the frequency and type of drug testing in the sober living '
hpme, as well as the testing procedures for the proposed treatment facility. As a
sober living facility, records of drug testing are not maintained. As a treatment ' ~
facility, the results of scheduledand random drug testing, would be documented:.
• Residents expressed concerns with tenants loitering in front of the sober living
home. The applicant requested that he immediately be contacted directly with
any'concerns o that he may, in-the future, remedy the problem. He stated that ?
he was unaware of issues that residents may have had with his existing facility
and's very willing to work in cooperation with the community: It was'suggested
that`interested neighborhood residents should meet with the managers of his
facilities on a'quarterly basis in an effort to be proactive in addressing
community concerns.
+ Residents were concerned withthe concentration of facilities'in their
neighborhood. Typically, minimum distance requirements between group homes
i Page 4

Planning Commission

item No. 2
would be established and regulated by the associated State agencies. For;.;
example, care facilities forthe mentally disabled must maintain a minimum
distance of 300 feet between facilities and large family day care facilities must
' maintain a minimum distance of 600 feet between facilities. The California'
Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs does not have separation
requirements for Residential Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities.
(17) The Policebepartment - Vicebetail, has submitted the attached memorandum
detailing the calls for service to the subject property within"the past year. Drug-
related calls for service and the addresses at which they originated are also detailed.
One drug/alcohol-related call was identified at 1300 West Pearl StreeYon December
16, 2003.
(18) Due to citizen concern with the concentration of drug treatment facilities in the area,
Staff contacted the State of Galifornia Alcohol and Drug Programs to'obtain a list of
licensed Residential Drug and Alcohol TreatmentFacilities'in the City of Anaheim.
Information provided to staff did not include sober living facilities as'they are riot
licensed or tracked by the State or any local agency. The following map shows the
locations and addresses of four (4) licensed facilities in 4he immediate area.

(19) Staff has received numerous email messages from Michael and Diane Summers
- detailing drug and theft occurrences`writhin their building. In addition to text, these
messages included photos and video clips. They requested thafthe messages be
forwarded to the Commission for consideration. The text portion of the messages
are included in the Commissioners' packets.
(20) Based on the outcome of the May 4u''meeting, staff feels'that the majority of the
citizens' concerns could be addressed by theipetitioner. The neighborhood
residents have a greater awareness'of the operational characteristics of the
proposed treatment facility versus the existing'sober living home.' Therefore, staff
i continues to recommend aoaroval of this request to use'an existing apartment
building as a residential care facilityfor up to 24 residents. Staff has included
conditions of approval to address resident concerns pertaining to"loitering and drug
testing.'

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS:
(14) Staff has reviewed the proposal and the Initial Study, (a copy of which is available for review iK
'the Planning Department) and fintls no significant environmental Impactand, therefore,
'recommends that a Negative Declaratioh be approved upon a finding by;the Planning
Commiss(on that the'Negative beclaration reflects the independent judgment of the; lead
agency; and that it has considered the proposed Negative Declaration togetherwith 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 s
`.will have a;significant effect on he environment.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT ELEMENT ANALYSIS:
(15) The proposed project has been reviewed by affected City departments to determine whether it
oonfotms with the City's Growth Management Element adopted by the City Council'on March
17, 1992. l3ased on City staff review of the proposed project,`it has been determined that this

"Item No. 3
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. 1 of the Northeast Area Specifid Plan
subject to the: approval'of a conditional use permit.
(17) The waiver pertains to minimum number of parking spaces. Code requires a minimum of 166
parking spaces for the church as describedn paragraph no. (10)"of this report. The petitioner
has submitted a parking analysis prepared by RK Engineering Group, Inc.; tlated August 27,
'2003, to substantiate the requested parking waiver. The City Traffic and Transportation
Manager hastreviewed,the parking analysis;and has determined thak the proposed parking
areas referenced in theparking study are not sufficienYfor the church and existing industrial
uses in the area. Based on the parking study, the parking supplyprovided on site is 21.6% of
the Code-required parking for the proposed'church. The parking study also bounts 290 off-
site and 35 on-street parking spaces on adjacent properties and streets toward fulfilling the
Code-required parking;for the church operation. Code: does not permit the'counting of on-
streetparking towards fulfilling Code-required parking for a given«project; and further' the
parking located within the public right-of-way maybe eliminated at any time'as deemetl
necessary by the Traffic Engineering Division. (No on-street parking is currently allowed
along the west side of White StarAvenue). Additionally, parking areas located on adjacent
properties serve the property and uses on which they are located`- These businesses]ocated
on adjacent and surrounding properties can,f by right, operate 24' hours per oay, seven: (7)
days a 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, staff is not supportive ofusing these areas towards fulfilling Code-required parking
forthe church. In ordarto utilize parking on rtearby properties, each property would need to
be encumbered by a parking variance, inclutling 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'Ciry Traffic and TransportationManagerhus
reviewed this study and has determined that the actualisupply of 36 spaces on the property is
not adequate for the proposed church due to the number of aduk congregants. Staff is
concerned that available parking,s not adequate to meet both the short-term and long-term
growth of the church. Therefore, staff recommends denial of this!waiver.
(18) Tfie Commission may wish to note that this building is`located within a recently constructed
intlustrial subdivision (constructed in 2001),: in which all the buildings in the area were parked
for: industrial uses (1.55. spaces/1000 square feet of grass floor area [gfa]), with the exception
of the Anaheim Hockey Club, which was parked for skating/roller rinks (2.4spaces/1000
square feet of gfa). The Commission may also wish to note that the traffic study conducted
as part of the establishment of the industrial subdivision and the hockey club calculated the
potential traffic demand. based on industrial uses. Therefore, based on the recommendation
of he Traffic Engineering Division, staff recommends`denial of this conditional use permit.
(19) Although the Traffic and Transportation Manager doesnot support the parking waiver; the
parking study provided`by the petitioner does include the following findings,in support., of the
waiver:
"(a) That the waiver,'. under the conditions imposed, if any, will not cause fewer off-street
parking spaces o be provided for such use than the number of such spaces `'
necessary to accommodate all veh(cles attributable to such use under the normal and
reasonable foreseeable conditions of operation' of such use.

Item tJo. 3
The parking study indicates that the project would contain a sufficient supply: of parking
spaces to accommodate the church by utilizing on-siteiparking (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 spaces upon the. public streets in the immediate vicinity of
the proposeduse.
The parking survey and the analysis for the project and: adjolning'buildings indicate
that sufficient off-street!parking (shared parking agreements) is provided so that the
adjacent public street parking would not be necessary.':
(c) That the waiver, under 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 study has determined hat the tenants of the adjacent private properties
expressly provide agreement for. the Way of Life Church to utilize`their parking spaces:
Shared parking on the; adjacent properties is accommodated due to the faof 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 or lots provided forsuch use.
The project will not cause increased 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 that sufficiently
accommodate the parking demand.
(e) That the waiver, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not impede vehicular ingress
to or egress from adjacent properties upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity ?
of the proposed use.
The off-street parking spaces provided do not impede vehicle ingress or egress from
the adjacent properties or upon White StarAvenue adjacent to the project site."
(20) 'As indicated in the attached memorandum from the Code Enforcement Division dated I
:January 2 2004, this application is the result of a citizen request for service regarding a
'church operating without a conditional use permit within an existing industrial building,
;Although,the request for service was received on April 21, 2003, the petitioner indicated to
'staff that the churchhas been at this location for three (3) years. The Commission: should
Jnote that although a businesslicense 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 (as authorized;by
?CUP N0, 3595).
(21) '.Since the?January 72, 2004, Commission meeting, staff has met with the petitioner and;
provided!propertyownershlp information pertaining to surrounding properties and an
example;of the proper form of agreement necessary to meet City requirements for off-
site parking. The petitioner'has mailed letters to five (5) owners of the surrounding
properties (see attached). Of the five'(5) letters sent, two (2) of the owners have sold
their property and one (1 j owner will not enter into an agreement with the church. No
communication has been received from the other two (2) property owners,
Commission should note that the petitioner has ndicated 4hat approximately!

Item No. 3:
seventeen (17) months (October, 2005) remain on their lease and as such, the church
would like to remain at this location untie he lease expires. At the April 19, 2004,
Commission meeting,; he petitioner submitted an update of progress as reflected
above. The!petitioner also submitted a "lease agreement" form as a proposal in lieu of
a recorded agreement with the property owner (see'attached `sample). Staff indicated
that there was opportunity for flexibility if;the agreement waswith a lessee whohad a
substantial interest in`the property (i.e. long term ground lease). Since: the Apri1;19,
2004, Commission meeting, no progress`has been made in confirming'any
agreements/covenants with neighboring property owners with regard to off-street
parking.
FINDINGSi'
(22) 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, ifany, 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 such use; and
(b)' That the waiver, under the conditions imposed, ifany, will not increase'the demand and
competition for parking spaces upon,the pubtiastteets in the immediate vicinity of the
proposed use; and
(c):, That the waiver, under the conditions imposed, ifany, will not increase the demand and
competition for parking spaces upon adjacent private property in the immediate vicinity

within the off-street parking: areas or lots provided for, such use; and
(e)i That the waiver, under the conditions imposed, ifany, will not impede vehicular ingress
to or egress from adjacent'properties upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of
the proposed use:
lJnless conditions to the contrary are expressly imposed upon the granting of any waiver

RESOLUTION NO. PC2004--**
A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION
DENYING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2003-04811
(2920 EAST W RITE STAR AVENUE)
WHEREAS, the Anaheim City Planning Commission did receive a verified Petition for
Conditional Use Permit for certain real property situated in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of
California, described as:
PARCEL 4 OF PARCEL MAP NO. 99-126, AS SHOWN ON A MAP FILED IN BOOK 311,
PAGES 22 TO 25 INCLUSIVE OF PARCEL MAPS, IN THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY
RECORDER OF ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
WHEREAS., the City Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in
the City of Anaheim on January 12, 2004 at 1:30 p.m., notice of said public hearing having been duly given
as required by law and in accordance with the provisions of the Anaheim Municipal Code, Chapter 18.03, to
hear and consider evidence for and against said proposed conditional use permit and to investigate and
make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; and that said public hearing was continued to
the March 8, April 19 and May 17, 2004 Planning Commission meeting; and
WHEREAS, the Commission did on January 12, 2004, March 8, 2004, and April 19, 2004,
continue this request and directed the petitioner to secure preliminary agreements for additional off-site
parking to meet the parking demands of the church; and
WHEREAS, the petitioner has been unable to secure such agreements, and
WHEREAS, said Commission, after due inspection, investigation and study made by itself
and in its behalf, and after due consideration of all evidence and reports offered at said hearing, does find
and determine the following facts:
1. That the use is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by Anaheim
Municipal Code Section
2. That the use will adversely affect the adjoining land uses and the growth and development of
the area in which it is proposed to be located in because the on-site parking is not 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 such use under normal and foreseeable conditions of operation.
3. That the size and shape of the site for the use is not adequate to allow the full development
of the proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area nor to the peace, health, safety and
general welfare of the Citizens of the City of Anaheim as the Code does not permit the counting of on-street
parking towards fulfilling Code-required parking for a given project; moreover, this parking is located within
the public right-of-way and may be eliminated at any time as 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 on adjacent properties serve the property 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. At any time, depending on the level of business activity, a business may change their
hours of operation or the number of workers they employ to meet their needs. Because these parking areas
on adjacent properties may not always be available, these areas should not be counted toward fulfilling
Code-required parking for the church. Including these parking areas as part of the Code-required parking
may create competition for parking spaces upon adjacent private property. Further, some of the properties
on the easterly side of White Star Avenue are occupied by retail businesses that could operate on Sundays.
C R\PC2004-0 -1- PC2004-
4. That the granting of the Conditional Use Permit under the conditions imposed, if any, will be
detrimental to the peace, health, safety and general welfare of the Citizens of the City of Anaheim.
._.
5. That the traffic generated by the proposed use will impose an undue burden upon the streets
and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area as the proposed timing of Sunday
services may result in an overlap of church patron parking on and around the property with adjacent
businesses, thereby increasing the potential for traffic congestion on and around adjacent
industrial/commercial properties and streets.
6. That "" indicated their presence at said public hearing in opposition; and that no
correspondence was received in opposition to the subject petition.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FINDING: That the Anaheim City Planning
Commission has reviewed the proposal to permit and retain a church within an existing :industrial building
with waiver of minimum number of parking spaces and does hereby approve the Negative Declaration upon
finding that the declaration reflects the independent judgment of the lead agency and that it has considered
the 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.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Anaheim City Planning Commission does
hereby deny subject Petition for Conditional Use Permit, on the basis of the aforementioned findings.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION was adopted at the Planning Commission meeting of May
17, 2004. Said resolution is subject to the appeal provisions set forth in Chapter 18.03, "Zoning Provisions -
General" of the Anaheim Municipal Code pertaining to appeal procedures and may be replaced by a City
Council Resolution in the event of an appeal.

CUP2003-04811
On Aprii 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 returned on June 19, 2003. A parking study was required.

PAGE 2 OF 2
Between May 16 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.

recommends a condition of approval requiring final site, floor, elevation, landscape and
fencing plans tc be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission as a Reports and
Recommendations item.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS:
(9) Staff has reviewed the proposal and the Initial Study (a copy of which is available forreview
in the Planning Department) and finds no`significant environmental impact and, therefore,
recommends that a Negative Declaration be approved upon a finding by the Planning
Commission that the: Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment of the' lead
agency; and that it has considered the proposed Negative 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 wiH have a significant effect on the' environment.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT ELEMENT ANALYSIS:
(10) The proposed project has been reviewed by affected City departments to determine
whether ifconforms 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
Page 3

Planking Commission

Item No. 4
determined that this project does not fitwithin the'scope necessary to require a Growth
' Management Element analysis, therefore, no analysis has been performed. " ~'
EVALUATION:i
(11) The petitioner requests rezoning of the;property from the RS-A-A3, 000.. (SC) Zone to the
RS-HS-22,000 (SC) Zone. Tne requested rezoning and deksity would be compatible with
_ `the existing General Plan designation of Hiilside:Estate Density Residential. Staff:
recommends approval of the'rezoning because the zone would be compatible with General'.
Plan lakd use designation of Hillside Estate Density Residential.
(12) Waiver (a) pertains to minimum lot depth adjacent to a scenic expressway. Code requires a
minimum lot depth"of 150 feet for the 3 proposed!lots, as they are adjacent to Santa Ana
Canyon' Road. Lot depth is defined as the horizontal length'of a straight line connecting the j
bisecting points of the front and the rear lot lines. !Plans indicate LoY2 has a depth of
+ 105 feet. This property consists of three parcels, two of which, due to their'size and
shape, are not suitable for development. The applicant proposes o reconfigure the
oddly-shaped property by'applying for a tot line adjustment to create three usable
parcels. Staff recommends'aoproval of this waiver due to the irregular shape of the
property and thaf other lots in the vicinity along Santa Ana Canyon Road have lot
depths hat do not meet the minimum 150-foof depth requirement::
(13)` Waiver{b) pertains to minimum lot area. This waiver has been deleted.
(14) At the April 19, 2D04, Planning Commission meeting, three peoplespoke in '
opposition with concerns regarding the appropriateness of the proposed General
Plan Amendment, justification of the request to waive minimum tot area and overall
dissatisfaction with the development proposafc As a result of the public testimony
and review of the proposal, the Commission requested that the applicant revise the :
site plan to minimize the proposetl private street in effort to decrease the potential of
the street being used as a "drop-off area" for the existing middle school and to
eliminate the waiver of minimum tot area. Staffhas met with 4he applicanfto discuss`:
projectissues and alternatives. The project has been modified as follows:
o The request to redesignate the property from Hillside Estate Density
Residential to the Hillside Low Density:Residentia~ and Tentative Parcel RAap ;
No. 2004-127 have been withdrawn. The Subdivision Section of the:Public
Works Departmentwill consider an application for a Lot Line Adjustment to
modify the three existing parcels; therefore, a tentative parcel map is not
required. The Subdivision Map Act excludes Lot Line Adjustments from
complying with the'General Plan; therefore an amendment is not needed to
'process allot line adjustment. A lot line adjustment is an administrative
:process. Staff has recommended a condition of approval that the lot line
adjustment be recorded priorao the issuance of a building permit
• Waiver of minimum' lot area has been deleted. The projecthas been
'redesigned to accommodate the minimum tot area of 19,000 square feet for
each parcel.
• The private access to the parcels has been redesigned from a private street
with cul-de-sac to a 24-foot wide private driveway. The intent in minimizing :
the street'is to deter school traffic from loading and unloading on the
proposed`street. Staff has confirmed that the proposed driveway is sufficient
for emergency vehicle and trash truck access. '

ENVIRONMENTALI IMPACT ANALYSISS
(15) Staff has reviewed the proposal and the Initial Study (a copy of which is available for; review
in the Planning Department) and finds no significant environmental impact and, therefore,
.recommends that a Negative Declaration be approved upon a finding by the Planning
Commission that the Negative Declaration'reflects the independent judgment of the lead
agency; antl that it has considered the proposed Negative Declaration togetherwithany
comments'received wring thepublic 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 ANALYSISf
(16) The proposed project has been reviewed by affected City departments to determine
whether itconforms'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 analysistherefore,ho analysis has been pertormed,
HOUSING ELEMENT ANALYSIS:
(17) Effective January 1, 2003, Government Code Section 65863 restricts a city's ability to
s'reduce the maximum' allowable'density oh property, in areas already designated orzoned
for residential uses to a level below the density usedlpy the State of California 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 by a member of the public. A city may neither require: nor permit the
Page 5
Staff Report to the
Planning Commission
May 17; 2004
Item No. 5
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) Thatthe remaining sites identified in the Housing Element are adequate to
accommodates city's share of the'regional housing needs.
(18) ; If a city cannot make the second finding, it may still make the reduction in density if it
identifies sufficient:"additional, adequate, and available sites" with an equal or greater
residential capacity in the jurisdiction so hat there is no net loss of residential unif capacity.
In some'instances,i it maybe necessary for the city to "up-zone" some other area of the city ?
in order to legallyadcomplisft`a down-zoning (Government Code Section 65863).This
statute provides attorneys fees to a successful plaintiff challenging a city under the statute.
(19) ', The City Attorney's Office has reviewed'Section 65863 and advised that Govemment Code
Sectiom65803 states that the sections in Chapter;4, of which' 65863 isa part, do not apply
to charter cities except as otherwise provided. Since Section 65863 does not specifically
indicate'applicability to charter cities, it is believed. that such provision does not apply to
Anaheim, a charter city. However, as a:practical matter the reclassification of property
needs to be consistent with the General Plan, including the Housing Element. Anaheim
has a Housing Element, approved by HCD, 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 rezonetl to a density below that
considered in the approved Housing Element as a`method of determining continuing
conformance with the assumptions contained therein.
(20) 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 opportunitysites throughout the
City with`density ranges to accommodate 16,048 to 20,841 housing units. In a
conservative analysis, a reduction in residential density which results ima Toss of fewer than:'.
4,500 units will notimpact the City's ability to accommodate its share of the regional
housing need and would remain consistent with the Housing Element of the General Plan,
The City; however, may reduce the density on these sites tieyond 4,500 units, provided it
remains'jn conformance with'the approved Housing Element, which may be accomplished
by identifying sufficient additional, adequate, and available sites with an equal orgreater
residential densityso that there is no net loss of residential unit capacity.
(21) In order to ensure that zoning. actions which grant a reduction of density on residentially
r; zoned properties are consistent with the City's General Plan, jncluding, he Housing
Element as approved by HCD, it is recommendeo'thatthe Planning Commission: utilize the
methodology set forth in Govemment Code Section 65863. Although it is believed that said'
section is not applicable to Anaheim as a charter city, it is recommended that the proposed
action be considered and evaluated to'deterrnine 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 the following
findings, without waiver of the City's charter city authority, belmade:
Page 6
Staff Report to the
Planning Commission
` May 17;'2004
Item No- 5
(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 pursuanffo Government
Code Section 65584.
(22) The project-site contains three (3) of the seven (7) parcels identified as Site No. 67 of the
West Anaheim Area within the Housing Element with a density range of 8' 0 18 units per
acre. The2.32 acre'site could accommodate from 13 to 41 units. The following table
reflects the total maximum loss of residential units from the number of potential units
.identified i~ the Housing Element due to zoning actions approved since January 1,2003
(Effective date of GovemmenfCode Section 65803).'.

(23) As noted above, reductions in residential density which result ih a loss of fewer than 4,500
units will not impact the City'sability to accommodate its share'of the regional housing
need and would remain consistent with the Housing Element of the General Plan. The
'prior actions and the'proposed'commercial use of the subject property will result in a total
combined7eductiorTbf amaximum of 118Units. The remaining sites identified in the
!Housing Element provide residential unit capacity in excess of the proposed 118-unit
reduction in density identified to date.
(24) Based on the foregoing, this reduction of housing density is consistent with the Housing
iElement and, further, that the "remaining housing opportunity sites identified in the Housing
..Element are adequate to accommodate the Citys share of the regional housing need,
EVALUATION:
(25) The sales of alcoholic beverages for off-premises consumption within a drug store with a
floor area of greater'than 15,000 squarefieet is permitted within the CL (BCC) zone subject
to approval of a conditional use permit. The drugstore itself isa permitted use within the
zone.
(26) The applicant is requesting retail sales of alcoholic beverages for off-premises consumption
ih conjunction with a`proposed"tlrug store: The Anaheim Police Department has submitted
`the attached memorandum dated Marcti 31, 2004, stating this'property is'located within
Police Reporting District No. 1619, which has a crime rate 85% above CiN averaoe This
!property is' also located within`Census Tract 877.01,`where there are currently 3 licenses
I for retail sales of alcoholic beverages foroff-premises consumption and only 3 off-sale
`licenses are allowed: This census tractpopulationaiso allows for 6 licenses for retail sales

of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption where currently 9 exist, The Police
Department responded to this location'35 times since March of 2003,!and seven: (7) reports
were taken (rapestolen vehicle, AMC'violation, vehicle tow, fight, suspicious
circumstances, and one assist recovery with other department). The'calls included
seventeen (17) 91:1 hang-ups, 1 rape, 1 battery, 3 disturbances, 2 suspicious persons, 2
_ suspicious vehicles, 4 burglar alarms, 1 stolen vehicle, 1 assist recovery other department;..
1 AMC violation, 1 car stop,'and 1 tow truck needed. The Deporting .district to the north has:
a crime: rate of 231 % above: City average, the reporting district to the south has: a crime rate
of 80% below City: average, the reporting disMct to the wesE has a crime rate of 64% above
average and the reporting district to the east has: a crime rate of 1 % tielow average. The
Police Department opposes'this request due to tfie high crime rate and over concentration;
and has included recommended conditions of approval in the event tftis request js grantedr
(27) ; Although the business would be located within an area of both high crime and over
concentration, the: new pharmacy would provide a variety of;retail services and involve the
demolition of the existing commercial center. Because this proposal would involve the
termination of four (4) entitlements pertaining to the on-premises sale of beer and wine, as',
well as'a pawn shop, and because thebusiness would have less thanl0% of itssales
devoted to alcoholic beverages, staff recommends approval'of the request to allow for the
sale of alcoholic 6everages'for off-premises consumption fog one vearfrom the date of
occupancy in order to determine what effect this proposal would have on the'crime rate for
this reporting district and calls for service at this'iocation.
(28) The petitioner has'applied for a determination of public convenience or necessity,in order to
obtain a,Type 21;(Off--Sale General) license. Due to overconcentration within the Census
Tract and high crime rate within the Reporting District of this: property, a determination of
public convenience or necessity is required from the City of Anaheim by the Department of
Alcoholic Beverage Control;(ABC).
(29) ' On July 11, 1995, the Anaheim City Council adopted Resolution No. 95R-134 establishing ,
procedures and delegating certain responsibilities'relating to'issuance of licenses by the
State Department df Alcoholic Beverage Control'(ABC) with;regard to applications for
licenses. which would otherwise be denied but for the issue of whether public convenience
or necessity would be served by issuance of the license and'. where the: City is responsible
under State law to`make such determination, the resolution delegates uch determinations`
to the Planning Commission with the right of appeal (or review) by the: City Council.
(30) Sectiort23958 of the Business and Professions Code provides that ABC shall deny an
application for a license if issuance of that license: would end to create,a law enforcement
problem or if issuance would. result in, or add to, an undue concentration of licenses, except
when an applicant has demonstrated that public convenience or necessity would be served!
by the issuance of'a license.?
(31) The statement of justification for determination of public convenience or necessity
submitted by the petitioner (attached) indicates the sale of alcoholic beverages is'ancillary ;
(less than ten percent) to the:overall product mix provided by the store„ and that here are
no other full service drug stores in the area that offer alcoholic beverages for off-premises
consumption. The petitione[further notes that there are multi-family and single family
residential neighborhoods in the vicinity; however, a strict training program for employees
has been established and consists of oh-going training, indoor store signage, and "mystery?

shoppers" to ensure all company policies and laws are being followed related to thesales
of alcoholic beverages.
(32) Staff conducted a survey of thearea and ident~ed aprivate church and school directly
'across the'street from the proposed drugstore (SO feet "as the crow flies") and public
school, Walt Disney Elementary School, westerly on' Orange Avenue (915' feet "as the crow
'flies). When a new retail license is requested withim600 feet of a school; he Department of
`Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) has the ability to deny the request for the license.
(33) The Planning Commission established a policy to determine whether a determination of
public convenience or necessity is appropriate. A copy of the'Planning Commission's
;guidelines to determine public'convenience or necessity is attached. StafF believes the
determination can be!made based on the fact that there are currently no similar
establishments in the: immediate vicinity. The petitioner has also suggested mitigating
,bperationaf characteristics (strict training and monitoring program), and currently there are
no other similar businesses inane area that offer the alcoholicbeverages,fornff-premises
consumption in conjunction with' a pharmacy. The increase in concentration is not
significant'{three (3) censes are allowed and this would be the fourth). Moreover, three (3)
establishments that sell beer and wine for: on-premises consumption would be eliminated
tlue to the'demolition of buildings on this site. Staff recommends that a determination of

PETITIONER'S STATEMENT OF JUSTIFICATION FOR
PUBLIC CONVENIENCE OR NECESSITY
The City Council has established procedures for the determination of Public Convenience or Necessity and has
delegated the responsibility for making such determinations to the Anaheim Planning Commission. In order to
assist the Planning Commission in its deliberations as to whether the public convenience or necessity would be
served by permitting an additional alcohol establishment within an area containing an over concentration of
licenses and/or high crime rate, please answer the following questions.
1. What is the primary purpose of your business? Is the sale of alcohol an essential part of the primary
purpose of the business? Please explain.

r~OLtCY
CITYOF ANAHEIM PLANNING COMMISSION '
GUIDELINES TO DETERMINE PUBLIC CONVENIENCE OR NECESSITY (PCN)
How significant is the "undue concentration"?
In census tracts with a few excess licenses, it may be easier to justify the need for additional
licenses when considering other factors. However, in areas with a significant number of
excess licenses, the City should carefully examine, based on submitted evidence and the
evhole record, whether it would be appropriate to make the requested finding.
• How close is the proposed site to a residential neighborhood and/or school?
If the site is in close proximity to a residential neighborhood or school, then the decision on
whether to make the finding of PGN should give weight to these sensitive land uses.
How close are other alcohol outlets?
Are outlets in close proximity or are they spread throughout the census tract? If the outlet is
located near the border of the census tract, is there a cluster of outlets in the vicinity of the
outlet located in the adjoining census tracts? In some areas, there are a large number of
businesses providing alcohol in close proximity. As a result, the impact is greater than if the
same number of businesses were spread throughout the census tract. In these instances, it
may be difficult to make the finding.
• Are there similar businesses already in the area?
Is this the first business of this type or are there several similar businesses nearby? If the
product is already available, then it would be harder to justify "public need".
• Is the sale of alcohol an integral part of the primary purpose of the business?
A "dinner house" would normally sell alcohol; however, a gas station or breakfast cafe would
not.
• Is there ahistory ofalcohol-related problems in the area?.
Determination of PCN in reporting districts that have a much higher than average crime rate
will be more difficult to justify. Likewise, even if the proposed location is in a census tract
that does not have a higher than average crime rate, it may be adjacent to one or more
reporting districts that have a higher than average crime rate.
• Are there unusual factors which are applicable fo a particular location?
The establishment may cater to a specific customer such as specialty markets or warehouse
stores. In these instances, the Planning Commission may determine that the unusual
factors are sufficient to determine public convenience or necessity.
• Is the proposed site in an area which has both an overconcentratfon of licenses and a higher
than average crime rate?
In such instances, it maybe more difficult to make the finding.
• Would a particular establishment have mitigating operational characteristics such as
increased security, limited hours of operation or bulk sales and/or temperatures not
conducive to on-site consumption?
A Determination of PCN may be justified for establishments with operational characteristics
that would offset any negative consequences of approving an additional license.

(7) The following zoning action has occurred on the subject property::
(a) Conditional Use Permit No. 2178 (to permit an office building) was approved by the
Planning Commission on February 23, :1981.
DISCUSSION:
(t3) The petitioner proposes to modify an existing legal non-conforming office building site as
follows:
(a) Parkino Lot Modifications -The parking lot is proposed to be redesigned and expanded
+ by 4,335 square feet to provide for enhanced circulation, new landscaping (including
landscape planters: and tree wells) and additional parking spaces. Currently, there are
207 spaces existing on the site. A total of 333 on-site parking spaces are proposed
(including 72 tandem parking`spaces and 17 spaces in the expanded area of the
parking lot) which would bring a property into compliance with the Code required
r number of spaces, (Code requires 312 parking spaces based upon three spaces per
thousand square feet of gross floor area for buildings of more than three stories).:
Vehicular access o the site is proposed'via a 30-foot wide driveway from Disneyland
Drive (previously a 20-foot wide driveway). In addition, new 30-foot high parking lot
lights will be provided (with field adjustable glare shields to ensure no )fight spillage to
adjacentproperties). The reconfigurediparking lot s proposed to be landscaped. with
tree wells to accommodate 24-inch box trees and flowering;plants. The site is
? proposed to be planted with a variety of mature trees, shrubs, flowering plants, vines
'? ground cover and annual color including, but not limited to the following: Queen Palms,
Date Palms, Washington Fan Palms, Australian Willow trees; Japanese Boxwood,
Indian Hawthorn, Dwarf Flax,Bird of Paradise andi Ligustrum shrubs; Star Jasmine,
Daylilies and Japanese Honeysuckle ground covet; and, Boston Ivy vines. In addition,
all block walls (including the new trash enclosure walls) will be planted with vines:
(Bostonlvy) in compliance with cotle. i
(b) New and Enhanced Landscaoino in the Setback Area - New'landscaping is proposed
to be installed"within a 5-foot to 20-foot: wide area'adjacent to Disneyland Drive and 3-
foot to 15-foot wide area along the Santa Ana (I-5) Freeway.:: In addition, a lot line
adjustment will. be processedao incorporate the 4,335 square feet of Caltrans right-of-

way into the property. A 6=foot wide landscaped area will' be provided adjacent to the
new northern property line'abutting the Santa Ana (I-5) Freeway southbound ramp
(within the expanded parking lot area) bringing andscaped setbacks. more into';
compliance with Code (currently there is very little landscaping on the site). The
existing hedge is proposetl to remain along the`south boundary line adjacent to the
Anaheim Sheraton Hotel f
'(c) Sianaae -Petitioner proposes to install two business identification wall signs (one on
the north building elevation oriented tbwards the Santa Ana (I-5) Freeway and'one on
the south building elevation oriented towards the Anaheim Sheraton Hotel and'
northbound Santa Ana (I-5) Freeway). Each sign consists of maximum 30-inch high,
internally-illuminated channel letters and only one sign would be visible at a time from
the freeway and'adjacent properties.'
Planning Commission may wish to note that the wall sign dimensions and design
comply with Cotle requirements; however, the number of wall signs: exceeds the Code
requirements (one wall sign permitted; two wap` igns proposed).
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS:
(9) .Staff has reviewed the proposal and the Petitioner'ssubmitted Environmental Information
I Form (a copy of which is on file and available for public review:. in the Planning Department),
'.and finds`that the proposed project's environmental: effects are within the parameters,
assumptions and time frames'analyzed in the previously-certified Environmental Impact
`Report No: 313 for the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan. Furthermore, based upon a review
of the requested waivers and the supporting documents, staff finds that said waivers will
`not result in any new significant environmental impacts. Staff :has prepared Mitigation
'.Monitoring Plan No.;063 for the proposed project incorporating those mitigation measures
`included in the Anaheim Resort Mitigation Monitoring Program' No. 0085 that are applicable
to the project (a copy of Mltigation Monitoring Plan No. 063 has been forwarded to the
Petitioner and Is on file and available for public review in the Planning Department):
GROWTH MANAGEMENT'ELEMENTANALYSIS:
(10) 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 orc City staff review of the'proposed,project, it has been
'determined that thisproject does not 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 modifications to legal nonconforming structures
or sites subject to the approvai of a Conditional Use' Permit, provided that said changes
'would bring the use/site into greater conformance with the intent of the'Specific Plan. The
exlsting office building and site!is considered to be a legal nonconforming use and structure
as it complied with the Code requirements in effect'at the timeit was constructed; however, ;
it does not comply with the current Anaheim Resorti;Specific Plan Code requirements
''relative to the use and configuration of the site (i.e., the current Code does not permit
sr8713dtr:
Page 4
Staff Report to the
.Planning Commission r
May 17 2004
.Item No. 8
freestanding'cffice buildings and the site improvements do not comply with the current
landscape and parkingsrea requirements).
Based upon a review of the submitted plans, staff supports the proposed Conditional Use
Permit as the proposed expansion and reconfiguration'iofthe parking lot to include
landscapingas described in paragraph (6) brings the site into greater conformance with the
Anaheim Resort Specific Plan design guidelines and enhances the appearance of the site.
Further, the proposed expansion is a proper'use for which a Conditional Use Permit is
authorized and the proposed use will not adversely affect the adjoining land'uses or growth
and development of the area in which it is located.
(12) The first code waiver pertains to the layout and design of parking areas to provide for
tandem parking. The submitted plans indicate 72 tandem spaces proposed. The Code '
does not provide for any spaces'to be in a tandem configuration.-
Petitioner indicates that there arespecial circumstances applicable to the property
consisting of(size, shape and configuration of the existing propeiy, building and parking lot
which do not apply to other identically zoned properties in the vicinity because this parcel is
irregularly-shaped andiis surrounded on three sides by public right-of-way (the Santa Ana
(I-5) Freeway on two sides and Disneyland Drive on one side). In addition, in connection
with the expansion of the Santa Ana (I-5) Freeway, the office parking lot area and number
of`parking spaces were reduced. The petitioner has indicated that additional parking
spaces are needed in order to attract tenants to the building as the proposed office tenants
have a demand for more parking spaces in order to accommodate employees and visitors
to the site. The petitioner proposes to regulate the tantlem parking spaces,by an on-site
property managemenYcompanyand/or primary tenant: in the building.
Traffic Engineering staff have reviewed the plans and support the requested waiver since
the petitioner proposes to have an on-site property managemenfcompanyand/or primary
tenant in the building regulate the!tandem parking spaces. Staff has recommended e
condition of approval requiring the property owner to submit a plan to regulate the proposed
tandem spaces to the Traffic and Transportation Manager for review and approval prior to
the final building and zoning inspection for the parking of improvements. Ongoing use of
the tandem'spaces will be required to be in conformance with the approved plan.
'(13) The second code waiver pertains to the minimum Interior landscaped setback. The code
requires a minimum 10-foot wide fully landscaped setback adjacent to the new northern
property line'. Plans indicate a 6-foot wide landscaped; setback will be provided adjacent to
the freeway right-of-way. Petitioner indicates that there are special circumstances
applicable to the property consisting of the shape and'configuration of the existing property,
building, parking lot and the new. parcel, which do nofapply to other identically zoned'
properties in' a vicinity. The properly is surrounded on three sides by pubic right-of-way
(the Santa Ana (i-5) Freeway on wo sides and Disneyland Drive on one side) and the
4;335 square foot expansion area is a small remnant parcel (20,feet wide by 216 feet long)
of Caltrans right-of-way. If a 10-foot wide landscape setback were to be constructedwithin
the expansion area it would make the installation of new parking'spaces in'the expansion
'area infeasible.

Staff Report to the i
Planning. Commission
May 17, 2004
Item No 8
Staff has'reviewed the plans and supports the requested waiver, as there are special
circumstances with regard to the size antl shape of the site as described above, which do
not apply to other identically zoned properties in the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan Zone.
AlthougH the applicant is only providing ai6-foot witle landscape setback', the proposed tree
wells and andscaped planters hroughout the parking area will enhance'the views of the
site from bisneyland Drive.
(14) `The third Code Waiver pertains to the maximum number of wall signs. The code permits
one buslness identification wall sign per building or storefront. Petitioner is proposing to
install two business identification wall signs, one on;the north elevation which would be
oriented towards the Santa Ana (I-5) Freeway (southbound) and one on the south elevation
which would be oriented towards the Anaheim Sheraton Hotel/Santa Ana (I-5) Freeway
(northbound).
Plans intljcate that the proposed wall signs would not be visible from offsite locations
(Disneyland Drive, the Santa'Ana (I-5)Freeway or,the adjacent hotel property) at he same
time, therefore, the intent of the Code to provide for'one business identification sign to be
:visible from the adjacent right=of-way would be maintained.
Staff has reviewed the plans and supports the requested waiver as there are special
circumstances wiW regard to the size and configuration of the'property which do not apply
to other identically zoned properties in the vicinity as the subject property has two different
directions of traffic flow (Disneyland Drive and the Santa Ana; (I-5) Freeway) and one wall
sign would not be sufficient to(provide reasonable identification visible to both adjacent
+'directions of trafficflow. Further, plans indicate that the proposed wall signs would. not be
visible from offsite locations atthe same'time, therefore, the intent of the Code to `provide
for one buslness identification`sign to visible from the adjacent right-of-way would e
''maintained.
In addition, in connection with the Citywide Zoning Code Update in process, staff is
recommending some modifications to the Anaheim'Resort Specific Plan. One of the
!proposed changes'is to permjtbusinesses located on comerproperties to have two wall
;signs provided that only one sign is visible from the: direction of traffic flow at any one time.
FINDINGS:
(15) 'When practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships result from strict enforcementof the
Zoning Code, a modification may be granted for the purpose'of assuring that no property,
because of special circumstances applicable to it, shall be deprived ofprivileges;common?y
::enjoyed by other properties in!the samevicinity and zone. The sole purpose of any code
':waiver is' o preventdiscrimination and none shall be approved which would have the effect
of granting a special''. privilege not shared: by other similar properties. Therefore, tiefore any ;
code waiver is granted by the. Planning Commission, it shall be shown:
'(a) That there are special circumstances applicable to theproperty such assize, shape,
topography, location orsurroundings, whicfi do not appis to other identicallyzoned
properties in the vicinity; and

WHEREAS, the City Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center
in the City of Anaheim on May 17, 2004 at 1:30 p.m., notice of said public hearing .having been duly given
as required by law and in accordance with the provisions of the Anaheim Municipal Code, Chapter 18.03
(Zoning Procedures-Amendments, Conditional Use Permits and Variances), to hear and consider
evidence for and against said proposed conditional use permit and to investigate and make findings and
recommendations in connection therewith; and
WHEREAS, said Commission, after due inspection, investigation and study made by
itself and in its behalf, and after due consideration of all evidence and reports offered at said hearing,
does find and determine the following facts: -
1. That the proposed use is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by
Anaheim Municipal Code Section No. 18.48:070.0511 to.permit the modification of a legal non-
conforming office building site to add 4,335 square feet to the project site, expand and reconfigure the
parking lot and provide for landscape improvements, with waiver of the following:
(a) SECTION NO. 18.06.020.040
(b) SECTION NO. 18.48.070.0903
(c) SECTION NOS. 18.48.130.0601
AND 18.48.130:064
Lavout and Design of Parkino Areas.
(Tandem parking spaces prohibited; 72 tandem
Parkino spaces proposed)
Minimum Interior Landscaped Setback
(10 feet fully landscaped required; 6 feet of
landscaoing proposed)
Maximum Number of Wall Sions
One wall sign permitted; two wall signs proposed)
2. That the proposed use is located in the C-R District (Development Area 1) of the Anaheim
Resort Specific Plan No. 92-2.
-2- PC2004-
3. That waiver (a), layout and design of parking areas to permit tandem parking, is approved
on the basis of special circumstances applicable to the property consisting of size, shape and
configuration of the existing property, building and parking lot which do not apply to other identically
zoned properties in the vicinity because this parcel is irregularly-shaped and is surrounded on three sides
by public right-of-way (the Santa Ana I-5 Freeway on two sides and Disneyland Drive on one side). In '
addition, in connection with the expansion of the Santa Ana (I-5) Freeway, the office parking lot area and
number of parking spaces were reduced and additional parking spaces are needed in order to fully utilize
the site for viable office tenants; and that strict application of the Zoning Code would deprive the property
of privileges enjoyed by other properties under identical zoning classification in the vicinity.
4. That waiver (b), minimum interior landscape setback, is approved on the basis that there
are special circumstances applicable to the property consisting of the size, shape and configuration of the
existing property, building, parking lot and the new parcel., which do not apply to other identically zoned
properties in the vicinity as the property is irregularly-shaped and is surrounded on three sides by public
right-of-way (the Santa Ana (I-5) Freeway on two sides and Disneyland Drive on one side) and the 4,335
square foot expansion area is a small remnant parcel (20 feet wide by 216 feet long) of Cal Trans right-of-
way, if the minimum 10-foot wide landscape setback were imposed it would make the installation of new
parking spaces in the expansion area infeasible; and that the strict application of the Zoning Code would
deprive the property of privileges enjoyed by other properties under identical zoning classification in the
vicinity.
5. That, waiver (c), maximum :number of signs, is approved on the basis that there are special
circumstances applicable to the property consisting of size, shape, location and surrounding, which do not
apply to other identically zoned properties in the vicinity because the property is surrounded by the Santa
Ana (I-5) Freeway on two sides and Disneyland Drive on one side; that strict application of the Zoning
Code would deprive the property of reasonable business identification from the adjacent public right-of-
way because one wall sign would not be sufficient to provide reasonable identification visible to both
adjacent traffic flows; and, that the proposed wall signs will not be visible at the same time from any point
along the adjacent direction of traffic flow or from any adjacent private properties.
6 That, as conditioned herein, the proposed modification of a legal non-conforming office
building site will not adversely affect any adjoining land uses or the growth and development of the
surrounding area because modification of the existing site will bring the property into greater conformance
with the intent of the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan by providing new landscape, signage and a
refurbished parking area which will enhance the property's appearance.
7. That the size and shape of the property is adequate to allow full development of the
proposed use, including approval of the waivers, in a manner which is not detrimental to the particular
area nor to the peace, health, safety, and general welfare of the surrounding area or citizens of the City of
Anaheim.
8. That the traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue burden upon the
streets and highways designed and improved to carry traffic in the area.
9. That "" indicated their presence at the public hearing in opposition to the proposal, and no
correspondence was received in opposition.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FINDING: That the Anaheim City
Planning Commission has reviewed the proposal to permit the modification of a legal non-conforming
office building site to add 4,335 square feet to the project site, expand and reconfigure the parking lot and

design of parking areas, minimum interior landscape setback and maximum number of wall signs on an
irregularly-shaped 3.13-acre parcel with a frontage of approximately 350 feet on the east side of
Disneyland Drive, a maximum depth of approximately 530 feet and is located approximately 780 feet
north of the centerline of Ball Road and is further described as 888 South Disneyland and does heretiy
determine that the previously-certified EIR No. 313 (with Mitigation Monitoring Plan No. 063) is adequate

1. The configuration of the subject property was impacted by right-of--way
acquisition. This acquisition restricted the site's ability to upgrade pazking. The
site is currently improved with a 5-story building which further restricts the
design of pazking area improvements to upgrade the pazking .area. The entrance
drive location is a fixed point that dictates the overall design of the parking azea
improvements. In order to provide an upgrade in the pazking azea, tandem
pazking .spaces aze the practical alternative. The tandem spaces will be regulated
by the on-site property management company and/or the primary tenant in the
building.
2. The site was impacted by CalTrans right of way acquisition that restricts the site's
ability to upgrade pazking to City standazds. Tandem pazking will permit
additional pazking on-site for visitors and employees.
3. The site was impacted by CalTrans freeway taking that eliminated existing on-site
pazking. Tandem parking is the viable option to increasing pazking on-site for the
existing building.
4. The site conditions restricting the ability to upgrade pazking was beyond the

(10) The site plan indicates a 9-foot wide landscaped planter adjacent to Lincoln Avenue with a
total of 4 trees. Code requires a total of 4 gees for this 75-foot wide property based on the
requirement of 1 tree,per 20 feeE of street frontage. Code further requires that at least one
(1) tree per,three thousand square feet of parking area and/or vehicular accessways be
tlistributed hroughout the parking area and an average of forty-eight (48) square feet of
planter area providetl`per required tree, with a minimum planter dimension of five (5) feet,
:'(6,900 square feet of parking area! 3000 square feet = 2 trees within associated planter
areas). The site plan' oes not indicate any additions to the existing landscape areas.
(11) Sign plans were not submitted as part of this application. However, a site inspection
revealed an unpermitted freestanding sign'within the7andscaped setback along Lincoln
Avenue. The sign appeared to be constructed of plywood with painted sign copy area
supported by two wood posts. Any proposed signage must comply with Code requirements
for the CL Zone unless a separate variance is applied for and granted by the Commission.
Code permits wall sighage not to exceed 10 percent of each building elevation and one
maximum 10-foot wide by 8-foot high, 38 square fooYdouble-faced monument sign far the
entire property.
(12) The submitted letter of operation indicates the hours of operation for the tire sales and
installation businesswould be 9 a.m, to 7 p.m., daily. The letter further indicates that the
new property owner recently purchased the property without knowing that he conditional
use permit had expired.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT'ANALYSIS:
`, (13) The Planning Director's authorized representative has determined that the proposed;project
'falls within'the definition of Categorical Exemptions; Section 15301, Class;l (Existing
Facilities),`as defined'in the State CEQA (Calffornia Environmental Quality Act) Guidelines
and is, therefore, categorically exempt from the preparation of further environmental`i
`documentation.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT ELEMENTANALYSIS
S (14) The proposed project has been'reviewed by affected'City departments to determine
whether iYconforms with the City's Growth Management Element adoptetl?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,! herefore, no analysis has been performetl.
HOUSING ELEMENT ANALYSIS:
(15) Effective January 1, 2003, Government Code Section 65863 restricts a cit~ls ability to
`reduce the'maximum`allowable density on property In areas already designated or zoned
`for residential uses td a level below the density used by the State of California Housing and
Page 3
Staff Report to the
Planning Commission
May 17, 2004
Item No. 9
Community Development Department (HCD) when determining whether a city's dousing `°
Element complied vuith state law. It is'immateriaPunder the statute whether the7eduction is
initiated by a city or by a member of the public. A city may neither require nor permit the
I reduction of density or any such residentially-designated parcel, unless he following
findings!are made: `;
(a) That the proposed reduction in density is consistent withahe General Plan, including
the dousing;Element.
(b) Thatahe remaining sites identified in the Housing Element are adequate to
accommodateahe City's: share of the regional housing needs.
(16) ` if a city cannot make the second finding, it may still make the reductionin density if it
identifies sufficient"additional; adequate, and available sites° with an equal or greater
residential capacity n the jurisdiction soithat thereis 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 adown-zoning (Govemment Code Section 65863).! This
statute provides attorneys fees to a successful plaintiff challenging a city under the statute,
(17) '' The City Attomey's'Office has reviewed Govemment Code Section 65863 and advise that
Section 65803 states that the'sections in Chapter 4, of which 65863 is a part, do hot -,
to charter cities except as otherwise provided. Since Section 65863 does not specific.;;"
indicate applicability to charter cities, it is believed that such provision does not apply tv
Anaheim, a charter city. However, as a'practicai matter the reclassification of property
needs to'be consistent with th€ -:~eneral?Plan, including the Housing Element. Anaheim
has a Housing Element, apprc~ed by HCD, based'upon the Guys provision of certain
identified Housing :Opportunity Sites. To ensure that zoning actions remain consistent with
the General Plan, if is recommended that the findings in Section 65863'be utilized`as a
model, and be analyzed by the City when property"is rezonedito a density belowanat
considered in the approved dousing Element as a'method of determining continuing
conformance with the assumptions contained therein.
(18) 'The City's regional housing need share during the planning period from'1998 to 2005, is
11,508 units. Overall, the Housing Element identified 154 housing opportunity sites
throughout the City with density ranges'to accommodate 16,048 to 20,841 housing units.
s In a conservative analysis, a reduction in residential density which results in a loss of fewer
than 4,500 units would not impact the City's ability;to accommodate its share of the regional
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, provided it
remains,in conformance withahe approved Housing Element, which maybe accomplished
by identifying sufficient additional, adequate, and available sites with an; equal or greater
residential density so that there is no net loss of residential unit capacity.
(19) ! In order to ensure that zoningactions which grant a reduction of density on residentially
zoned properties are consistent with the City's General Plan,^including he Housing
Elementas approved by HCD, it is recommended hat the Planning Commissiorcutilize the
methodology set forth in Govemment Code Section 65863. 'Although if is believed that said
section is not applicable to Anaheim as'a charter city, it is recommended that the'proposed
action be considered 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 the following
findings, without waiver of tha City's charter city authority, be made:
(a) Thatthe proposed reduction in density is consistent withahe General Plan, including
the dousing,Element; and
Page 4
Staff Report to the
Planning Commission
May 17, 2004
:Item No. 9
(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 Government
Code Section 65584.
(20) The project site contains one (1) of the three (3) parcels identified as Site No. 32 of the
.Central Anaheim Area'within the Housing Element with a density range of36 to 44 units
per acre. The 0.29 acre site could accommodate from 10 to 13 units. The following,table
Yeflects the total maximum loss of residential units from the number of potential units::
.identified in the Housing Element due to zoning actions approved since January 1, 2003
(Effective date of Govemment Code Section 65803):.:

arious Parcels in the Colon Five-Points DownZonin 15 Units
Northeast Terminus of Via Cortez Caliber Motors 30 Units
2792 WestBall Road Athenian Plaza : 9 Units
TOTAL 118 Units
c (21 } As noted atiove, reductions in residential density which result in a loss of fewer than 4,500
units will not impact the Cit~/s ability to accommodate: its share of the regional housing
need and would remain consistent with the Housing: Element of the General Plan. The
prior actions and the proposed continued commercial use of the subject property would
'result in a dtal combined reduction of a maximum of 118 units.`The remaining sites':
identified in'!the Housing Elemertt provide residential `unit capacity in excess of the
'proposed 118-unit reduction in density identified to date.
(22) Based on the foregoing, this reduction of housing density is consistent with the Housing
Element and, further, hat the remaining Housing Opportunity Sites identified in the Housing
:Element are adequate to accommodate the City's share of the regional housing need,
EVALUATION:
(23) Code permits tire sales and installation businesses in'the CL zone subject o approval of a
conditional use permit. Code does not permit a tire shop in the;RM-2400'Zone.
(24) The attached Code Enforcement Division records and memorandum dated May 6, 2004,
indicate this property'has generated numerous complaints dating back to 1997. Staff
inspections' have confirmed than although the property owner has recentiy'made an effort to
clean up the site, there are still many outstanding Code violations, The numerous
violations include the following:
o' Land use violations (operating without a C.U.P.)
e Overgrown and dead vegetation
Deteddratedlunsightlyfencing
e Unperrnitted signage
,,; Unperrnitted outside storage and work (ihcluding repair and installation of tires)

SUBJECT: 1266 E. LINCOLN AVE. - CUP2004-04846
On February 3, 2003, in response to a citizen's complaint regazding an unpermitted fire store
operating on the property located at 1266 E. Lincoln Ave., I conducted an inspection of the
property and "Gutierrez Tire". Prior to the inspection, a check of Planning Department and Code
Enforcement records indicated there was a fire store operating at the above address without a
Conditional Use Permit.
During this inspection, I observed numerous violations of the Anaheim Municipal Code. There
were inoperable vehicles, discazded tires, and discazded vehicle parts stored on the roof of the
business as well as in the reaz of the business. There was an unsightly fence on the front of the
property, they were changing tires outside of the building, and refuse and waste on the property.
There were numerous Notices of Violations and Order to Comply letters mailed to the prior
property owner, Alfonso Gomez.
On August 28, 2003, Mr. Gomez submitted apre-file application, CUP2003-00074, for the fire
store. After reviewing the application and inspecting the property, staff recommended denial of
the C.U.P. application.
it
_. The violations continued to exist.at the property. After numerous attempts to bring the property
into compliance and discussions with Mr. Gomez, I was forced to file a Criminal Complaint
against Mr. Gomez.
On approximately January 27, 2004, Mr. Gomez sold the property to Mr. Y K Liang. The
Criminal Complaint against Mr. Gomez was closed. The new property owner, Mr. Liang, was
mailed a new Notice of Violation and Order to Comply letter requiring him to obtain a
Conditional Use Pemut for "Gutierrez Tire" or cease allowing the tine store to operate on the
property.

Mr. Liang called me and requested information on what violations still existed at the property. I
met Mr. Liang at the property and outlined the violations I observed. Mr. Liang brought the
property into compliance. There were still some A. M. C. violations that I did not address in the
letter but discussed them with Mr. Liang. I explained to Mr. Liang that these violations would be
addressed in the Conditions of Approval for the C.U.P. There was an unpernutted sign in the
front setback, the landscaping needed maintenance, there was an unsightly, 6' to 7' foot fence in
the front setback, .and they were still conducting business outside of the building.
I have not conducted an inspection since Mr. Liang filed the Conditional Use Permit application.
Please feel free to call me at ext. #4595 if I can be of further assistance.

10b: VARIANCE NO; 2004'-04605 (Resolution)
SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION`.
(1) This irregularly-shaped, 2.1-acre property has a frontage of 376 feet on the south side of

Item No. 10
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL:
(5) The petitioner requests approval of a waiver of permitted signs within the Scenic Corridor
Overlay Zone to construct two wall signs. The site plan (F~hibit No. 1) indicates'a
proposed freeway-orientedwall sign on the south elevation and a proposed wall sign on the
east elevation.
(6) The elevation and sign plans (Exhibif Nos. 2 and 3) indicate two (2), 3-foot high by 45.2-
foot wide illuminated channel letter sign with bluei and red colored pleziglas faces and white
trim caps. The photo simulations on the same plans indicate the proposed locations of the.:
signs oh the building. The elevation plans show that one sign would tie placed near the top
of the building and would face south towards the SR-91 (Riverside) Freeway... Said sign
would be located approximately 250 feet from the freeway.:The second proposed wall sign.:
would also be placed on the'east elevation near the roof of the building.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS:
(7) The Planning Director's authorized representative has determined that the proposed project
falls within the definition of Categorical Exemptions, Section'15311, Class 11 (Accessory
Structures), as defined in the State CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act); Guidelines
and is, therefore; oategoricaily exempt from the preparation'of further environmental
documentation.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT ELEMENT ANALYSIS:
(8) The proposed project has been reviewed by affected City departments to determine
whether it conforms to 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 fifwithin the'scope necessary to require a Growth
` Management Element analysis, therefore, no analysis has been performed.
EVALUATION:'.
(9) The requested waiver pertains to permitted signs within the Scenic Corridor Overlay Zone.
Code permits nofmore thanone walC'sign for each individual building'unit, and'in no case
shall the aggregate total area of all such signs exceed ten percent of a total area of the
face of said building unit. Submitted plans Indicate two 135 quare foot illuminated,
channel letter signs located bn the building wall facing the SR-91 Freeway to the south and I
on the building wall facing Weir Canyon. Road to the east. The petitioner has submitted the
attached Statement of Justification Form for the requested waiver stating that there is an
existing hardship on this property due to its difficult accessibility and building location that is
lower than the elevation of the freeway.;
(10) { The Storage USA currently has an 81 square foot wall sign located on the north 6uliding
elevation oriented`towards Old Canal Road and Pullman Street and a'80 squarefoot
monument sign located at the front of the building oriented to the east'and west fraffic along
Old Canal Road. The 60 square foot monument sign was approved as a part of a sign
waiver th conjunction with Conditional Use Permit No. 4108.` Code permits a maximum 26
square foot, single-faced sign as part of a 36-inch'high wall
(11) The petitioner indicates in their attached letter of justification that the Home Depot home
` improvement store located'adjacenfto the Storage USA was granted. additiona(signage
Page 2
Staff Report to the
Planning Commission

:Item No. 10
due to the topographical hardship that also exists at the Storage USA site:: The petitioner
atates that"The significant gratle differential between. the property and the difficult indirect
r access to the site from Weir Canyon Roadcombineto create a pecial circumstance
`applicable to the property which'does not apply to the other identically zoned properties in
the vicinity."
(12) The Home Depot is a retail use that is much larger than most stand-alone retail uses. or
'commercial retail centers. The nature of the home improvement business, the variety and
`quantity of'jnventoryand the overall general popularity of this type of store dictate the large
building and site required to accommodate: such a use. For these reasons, home >
improvement and "big box" retailers draw their customer base on a regional scale. Self-
. storage facilities historically have not beenvtilized through an "impulse" action but typically
result from a foreseeable need.
(13) On August 17, 1998, he Planning Commission recommended City Council review and
approval of the following policy pertaining oself-storage facilities. On September 22,
'1998, the Gity Council discussed this policy stating the policy would take effect immediately
as recommended by the Commission.
°Self-storage facilities may continue to be permitted in the CL (Commercial, Limited); ML
(Limited Industrial) and MH (Heavy Industrial) Zones; ubject to the approval of a
`conditional' use permit. The unique and opportune design features of self-storage facilities
are most appropriate+for irregularly-shaped properties which may further be constrained by
accessibility or visibility and which may not be suitable for conventional types of
:'development. A limited number of these types of properties are found in commercial and
industrialzones. Provided there does not'appear tobe other viable or strategic uses of the
'property, the architecture of the facility is of high quality, the use is appropriate and
compatible with its surrounding;land uses, and the facility is in compliance with all Zoning
`.Code Development Standards(ncluding setbacks where possible, signage and
landscaping), self-storage facilities maybe conditionally permitted in the CL, ML or MH
Zones:'
(14) An evaluation of this parcel against the policy for self-storage facilities indicates that this
'.request for a sign waiver would appear to be inconsistent with the aforementioned policy
`and with the premiseupon which the facility was originally approved. Specifically, approval
of the facility was obtained in part, because the building was designed to7esemblean office
building. The placement of additional wall: signs visible to the freeway and Weir Canyon
Road would, in staffs opinion; a contrary;to the original approval. Therefore, staff
'recommends the request be denied.
FINDINGS:
(15) When practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship result from;strict enforcement of the
Zoning Code, a modification maybe 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
variance is to prevent discrimination and none shall. be approved which would have the
'effect of granting a special privilege not shared by other simila[ properties. Therefore,
before any variance: is granted`by the Planning Commission, it shall be shown:
(a) That there are special circumstances applicable to the property such assize,
shape, topography, location or surroundings, which do not apply to other identically
'zoned properties in the vicinity;'and
Page 3
Staff Report to the
Planning Commission
May 17, 2004
Item tVo. 10
(b) That strict application of the Zoning Code deprives the property of privileges
enjoyed by other properties under identical zoning`classification in the vicinity.
RECOMMENDATION:
(16) ' Staff recommends that unless additional or contrary information is received during the
meeting, and based upon the evidence submitted to the Planning Commission, including
i the evidence presented in this staff report, and oral and written evidence presented at the ``
public hearing that the Planning Commission deny this request based bn the findings
I contained in the.: attached resolution.
(17) , Should the Commission wish to approve this request, staff recommends that the item be
continued for two'weeks in order to incorporate the following conditions together with the
appropriate findings into a resolution for consideration by the Planning. Commission.
THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS ARE SUBMITTED BY VARIOUS CITY DEPARTMENTS ACTING AS

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTANALYSIS:
' (12) Staff has reviewed the proposal and the Initial Study (a copy of which is available for review in
the PlanningDepartment) and finds no significant environmental impact and, therefore;
recommends that a Negative Declaration be; approved upon a finding by the Planning
Commission that the Negative Declaration reflects the independeht judgment of the lead
agency; and that it has considered the proposed Negative Declaration together with any
comments received during the public reviewprocess and further,finding on the basis of the
Initial Study end 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 byaffected City departments to determine whether it `
conforms with the Citys 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:
(14) Churches are permitted within in the ML zone subject to the approval of a conditional use
permit.
(15) The requested waiver pertains to minimum number of parking spaces. Code requires a
minimum of 94 parking spaces for this proposed church and other uses odthe property as
described iniparagraph no. (7) of this report: and 85 spaces are proposed. When the
requested parking waiver does not exceed ten percent of the Code requirement or for uses
requiring thirty or fewerspaces, the Code permits "such other study' approved by the Traffic
::and Transportation Manager. The petitioner has submitted a parking letter,to substantiate the
requested parking waiver. Based on information provided in the;parking letter, 90 percent of
the Code required parking will be`provided on-site.
(16) The petitioner has also: provided the following operational information as evidence to
ubstantiatethe requested waiver:
(a) At their current location, the church occupies approximately 65 parking spaces with the r

their.parking lots should the need arise.

Planning Commission
' May 17, 2004
Item No. 11
(17) ,.While the,adjacent businesses have agreed to allow the church to utilize their parking lots, .
this is an informal agreement and does not involve the recordation of covenants oh the deeds
of said properties. Traffic Engineering Division staff believes the number'pf parkingspaces
proposed'on-site is adequate to meet the `demands`of the church's congregation and
"sanctuary;size, without utilizing any off-site parking. 'i
(18) The proposed church complies'with all site development and zoning standards (with the
exception?of parking) required: for properties and uses within the ML zone: Because the
" :proposed `church complies with'aii site development and zoning standards (with the exception
of parking'which hasi been deemed adequate by the Traffic and Transportation Manager)
requiredfor properties and uses within the ML zone, staff recommends approval of this
'request.
FINDINGS:
(19) Section 18.06.080 of the parking ordinance sets forth the following findings, which are
'required to be madebefore a parking waiver is approved by the Commission:

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

(b) Thaf the waiver, under the conditions imposed; if any, will not increase the demand and
competition for parking spaces upon the putilic streets in the immediate vicinity of the

within the off-street parking areas or lots provided for such use; and

hear and consider evidence for and against said proposed conditional use permit and to investigate and
make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; and
WHEREAS, said Commission, after due inspection, investigation and study made by itself
and in its behalf, and after due consideration of all evidence and reports offered at said hearing, does find
and determine the following facts:

(94 spaces required; 85 proposed and recommended by the
City Traffic and Transportation Manager)
2. That the subject property is developed with an vacant industrial building and parking lot,
formerly used as a storage lot for Super Shuttle vehicles; that the zoning is ML; and that the Anaheim
General Plan Land Use Element designates the site for General Commercial land uses.
3. That the waiver will not, under the conditions imposed and based on the conclusions contained
in the parking letter submitted by the petitioner, cause fewer off-street parking spaces to be available for the
church and other on-site activities provided the church adheres to the assumptions contained in the parking
letter and the hours of operation because the parking letter indicates that the peak parking demand for off-
street parking spaces would be accommodated by the number of available on-site spaces for the proposed
church use.
4. That the waiver will not, under the conditions imposed, increase the demand and competition
for parking spaces on the public streets and adjacent private properties in the immediate vicinity of the
proposed use because the project parking lot has adequate parking to accommodate the peak parking
demands of the proposed church use; that the parking lot would be physically separated from adjacent
properties; and, further, there is no reason to encroach into other parking facilities because the parking lot
will provide ample parking as indicated in the parking analysis.

off-street parking areas or lots provided for such use.

development of the area in which it is proposed to be located.
8. That the size and shape of the site for the proposed use is adequate to allow full development

streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area.
10. That granting this conditional use permit, under the conditions imposed, will not be detrimental
