limit by more than eight (8) feet."
The plans also indicate the standing seam metal roofing would encroach over the 60 foot
maximum height. The above provisioddoes not include roof projectidns and therefore; the
request for conditional use permit also includes a .request for building' 1leights exceeding
(60) sixty feet.

EVALUATION:
(18) Self-storage facilities and building heights in excess of sixty feet are permitted in the
' SP94-1, DAZ zone subject to the approval of a conditional use perm(t.
(19) One of the objectives of the General Plan Is to "Plan land uses that preserve and enhance
Anaheim's economic assets " In order to facilitate that objective, the General Plan Land
Use Element enhances The Canyon's industrial base with limited strategically located
office and mixed uses that take advantage of the area's location., visibility and access.

Staff Raport to the
Planning Commission
May 1, 2006
Item No. 3
This property is)ocated within one of those areas, therefore the land use designation for
this site was changed from Industrial to Office-Low during he comprehensive General
Plan update. Ili addition, one General Plan goal is to maintain and enhance the canyon
area as ohe of the most prominent business centers in Orange County; Policies to support
this goal are to protectand enhance the integrity and desirability of intlustrial sites and
encourage additional office developmentalong the south side cf to Palma Avenue; Staff
is concerned that the proposed development is' not consistent with the lohg-term goals to
strengthen the area as a technology center. The proposed modification and expansioh of
the existing self storage facility (from 67,937 square feet to 174,607 square feet) is a
significant redevelopmentcf asite in a manner that is not consistent with this General Plan
goal and: related objectives.
(20) The substantial expansion of the public storage facility is not consistentwith the
Redevelopment Plan objectives for the Canyon Area One of the goals for the Canyon
Area is to ehhance the area by providing higher skill, higher wage employment
opportunities. There has been extensive public involvemeht ih the :infrastructure to support
the 55,000 jobs and 2,300 businesses that constitute the Canyon Business Cehtec The
purpose of the public improvements is to attracf businesses to enhance the area. A self-
storage use of this size and: scale does not encourage office developments in conformance
with the General Plan.
(21) On, August 17, 1998, the Planning Commission approved and the City Council concurred
on a policyYelating to the: appropriate location for self storage facilities.a estates that the
"uniqua and opportune design,features of self-storage facilities are most appropriate fora
irregularly-shaped properties whlch may further be constrained by accessibility or visibility
and which maynot be suitable for conventional types of development" The size and shape
of thissite is wellauited to conventiona(type of office development in conformance with th@
general plan, therefore, this. proposal does not meet the Couhcil policy on location of self
storage facilities: Aithough,the site is currently developed with a self storage facility, the.
currenfrequest triples the size of the existing facility which significa~tlyextends the ltfe of
the self storage use at this location ahd reduces the possibilitycf establishing land uses.
thafare consistent with the General Plan and Redevelopment Plan.
(22) The request for conditional use permit also includes a request fora 66-foot. high building.
Sectioni18;120.070:Ok30.0801 of the Northeast Area Specific Plamallows building heights in
excess of 60 feet subject to the approval of a conditional use permit. ?he applicant
indicates that the' additidnal height would be for elevator. shafts, stair wells, roof mounted
equipment and roofpeaks Withinan existing bujlt environment, theproposed 66 foot
maximum height building would lookout of scale agaknst the surrounding area. Although.
. the codeallows fora structure up to 60 feet kn height, a 66-foot higfi building would be out '
of scale to the surcoundingarea and could adversely affect adjoining land uses by
overshadowing the rest of the area with a massive structure:
(23) Waiver (a) pertains to the floor area ratio (FAR). Oode permits a maximum FAR of 0.5 for
uses in the SP94-1, DA2 Zone, and a 1.1 FAR is proposed: The applicaht indicates the
attached Justificatioh of Waiver form that there are special circumstances applicable to the
property relating to size, shape and configuration. The applicant also explains that the use
- `of this storage facility would tie for household goods and technology storage that must be
stored ih a climate controlled: atmosphere. Sherefore, the applicant would like to expand the
floor area on the site in order to accommodate these needs:
srCUP2006-05069jkn

Staff Report to the
Planning Commission
May 1, 2006
Item No. 3
(24) Due to the substantial FAR increase, a traffic trip count was conducted by the City's'
independent traffic and parking consultant on March 8, 2006: The consultant compared the
number of trips anticipated for ah industrial use at the maximum FAR for the parcetand the
number of trips anticipated for theproposed self storage facility: For a typical industrial
building at the permitted b.5 FAR on the subject site, the number of trips per day at peak
hours would. be 70a;m„ 75 p.m.; and 531: average daily trips: The number of trips per day
for the proposed 1.1 FAR for amini-warehouse at peak hours would be 26 a.m., 45 p.m.,
and 437 average daily trips: Therefore, the proposed self storage facility at 1.T FAR would
have on average, 44 a.m.; 30'p:m:; and 94 average daily trips Tess thanan industrial use
developed at the permitted 0.5 FAR.
(25) With the FAR limitation within the expanded Industrial Area (Development Area 2), it is
anticipated that mostof the buildings constructed for uses permitted in the zone would not
result in the height proposed urider this'request: The proposed building without the existing.:
single-story structures in the rear is at ah FAR of 0:89 which exceeds what would be
permitted for surrounding properties. The adjacent buildings surrounding this parcel are at
one and two stories:: Although there are no significaht traffic impacts relating to the
additional FAR requested, the axtreme deviation from code results in a building that is 5-
stories in he.igtlfcompared to the existing one- and two-story. industrial buildings or any
future office buildings: Staff has concerns over sucH a large deviation from code as the
FAR increase translates into building mass which results in a building that would be out of
character with the surrounding area. In addition, theproperty is rectangularly-shaped and
is not constraihed by topography, locetiohor surroundings. There are also no properties in
the immediatevicinity thatahjoys the privilege that is Yequestedwith thiswaiver.
(26) Waiver (b) pertains to the maximum height of a fence within the street setback along La
Palma Avehue. Planspropose a 10-footwide landscaped setback witha six (6) foot high
automatic sliding wrought iron gate at the back of the landscaped setback: Code requires a
minimum 10-foot witle fully landscaped setback and permits a 3-foot high decorative fence
at the back of the 10-foot landscaped setback: The applicant indicates in the attached
>> Justification of W giver form that site constraints imit the placement of the propdsed gate.
Staff is suppdrtive'of the proposed fence waiver since the proposed ocation and height is
consistent with permitted fences in-the I (Industrial) zone"(base zone for this property) in the
rest of the City. However, due to steffsYecommendation of denial for the proposed five (5)
storyself-storage facility; staff also recommends denial of this waiver since it would. no
longer be necessarya
(27) The proposed self storage facility expansioh and associated waivers would result in a
project that is not consistentwith the City's General Plan, Redevelopment Plan and Council'
Policy. Given thepolicy direction contained in these'adopted'documents, ahd the proposed
project's inconsistency with those documents, staff recommehds deniel`of this project
FINDINGS:
(28) 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,
becauseof special circumstances applicable to it, shall be deprived of privileges commonly
enjoyed by other properties in the same vicinityahd zone. The sole purpose of ahy code
`waiver is to prevent discrimination ahd none shall be approved which would have the effect
of granting a special privilege nofehared by other similar properties: Therefore, before any
code waiver is granted by the Planning Commission, it shall be shown:
srCUP2006-05069Jkn

Item No. 3
(a) That there are special circumstances applicable to ttie property such assize, shape,
topography; location or surroundings, which dd not apply to other identicallyzoned
properties ih the vicinity; and
(b) ,That strict application bf the Zoning Code deprives the property of privileges enjoyed
by'other properties under identicalzohing classification in the vicinity.
(29) Before the Planning Commission grantsfany conditional use permit; it must make a finding
of fact that the evidence presented shows that elf of the following conditions exist:.
(a) That the use is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by the
Zoning Code; or is an unlisted use as defined in Subsection .030 (Unlisted Uses
Permitted) of Section 18.66..040 (Approval Authority);;
(b) That the use will not adversely affeck the adjoining land uses or the growth and
development of the area in which it fsproposed to be located;
(c) That the size and shape of the site for the use is adequate to allow the full
development of the proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area
or td the health and safety;
(d) That the traffic generated by the use wlll not impose an undue burden upon the
streets'and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic'in theerea; and
(e) That the granting of the conditjonal use permit underthe conditions imposed, if any,
will: not be detrimental to the healthand safety of the cjtizens of the City of Anaheim:
RECOMMENDATION:
(30) Staff recommends that, unless additional or contrary information is received during the
public ftearing; and, based upon the evidehce submitted to the Commission,'including the
-> evidence presented in this staff report, and drafand written evidence presented at the
publid hearing; the Planntng Commtssion take the folldwjng actions:
(a) By motion, aoorove a Negative Declaration for the project;

permitted; 1.t FAR;proposed) based on the findings that there are no special
circumstanoes relating to'size shape or topography that apply to this property and
that this property would not be deprived of a privilege enjoyed by other properties
under the same zoning in the vicinity.
(c) By motion, denv waiver (b) pertainjng to a maximum fence height (3 feet permitted; 6
feet proposed) since staff is recommending denial of this projectand the waiver
would only tie needed if the project is approved.

A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM PLANNING COMMISSION
THAT PETITION FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2006-05069 BE DENIED
(4880 EAST LA PALMA AVENUE -PUBLIC STORAGE)
WHEREAS, the Anaheim 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 2, IN THE CITY OF ANAHEIM, COUNTY OF ORANGE, STATE OF
CALIFORNIA, AS SHOWN ON A PARCEL MAP FILED IN BOOK 67, PAGE 38 OF
PARCEL MAPS, IN THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY RECORDER OF SAID COUNTY.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in the
City of Anaheim on May 1, 2006, at 2:30 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 18.60
"Procedures", 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 the item was
continued from the March 20, and April 17, 2006, meeting; 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 five-story self-storage building with buildingheights in excess of sixty (60)
feet is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by Anaheim Municipal Code Sections
18.120.070.050.0537 and 18.120.070:080.0801 with waiver of the following. ,
(a) SECTION .NOS. 18.120.070.080.0803 Maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR)
0.5 FAR permitted; 1_1 FAR proposed)
(b) SECTION NO. 18.46.110.030 Maximum Fence Height
(3 feet permitted; 6 feet proposed)
2. That the above-mentioned waiver (a) pertaining to the maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) to
construct afive-story self storage facility is hereby denied on the basis that the property is rectangularly-
.shaped and is not constrained by topography, location or surroundings. There are also no properties in the
immediate vicinity that enjoys the privilege that is requested by this waiver. In addition, the substantial
deviation in FAR would result in a building that is out of scale with surrounding properties.
3. That the above-mentioned waiver (b) pertaining to the maximum fence height is hereby
denied because the waiver is not applicable if the request for the project is denied.
4: That the proposed substantial expansion of the existing self storage use is not consistent
with the General Plan land use designation for this site of Office-Low or the objective of the General Plan to
"Plan land uses that preserve and enhance Anaheim's economic assets:' In order to facilitate that objective,.
the General Plan Land Use Element enhances The Canyon's industrial base with limited strategically located
office and mixes uses that take advantage of the area's location, visibility and access. This property is
located within an area where the General Plan strives to enhance The Canyon's industrial base with office
uses as evidenced by the General Plan redesignation of this site from Industrial to Office-Low as part of the
Comprehensive General Plan Update in 2004.
5. That the proposed use is inconsistent with the General Plan goal to maintain and enhance
the Canyon Area as one of the most prominent business centers in Orange Gounty. Policies to support this
goal are to protect and enhance the integrity and desirability of industrial sites and encourage additional
CR\PC2006-0 -1- PC2006-
office development along the south side of La Palma Avenue. The proposed use extends the self storage
use by the significant redevelopment of the site and precludes the property from being used in a manner that
is consistent with the long-term goals to strengthen the area as a technology center.
6. That the proposed five (5) story self-storage facility with building heights in excess of sixty
feet would adversely affect the adjoining industrial land uses and the growth and development of the area in
which it is located because the building would not be in scale with the surrounding area and the land use
would not be consistent with the planned growth and development of the area.
7. That this proposal does not meet the council policy on location of self storage units. The size
and shape of this site is well suited to office development in conformance with the general plan and the site
is not constrained by accessibility or visibility.
6. That the substantial expansion of the public storage facility is not consistent with the
Redevelopment Plan objectives for the Canyon Area. One of the goals for the Canyon Area is to enhance
the area by providing higher skill, higher wage employment opportunities and the proposed use only

considered uninhabitable space The self storage use is unique in relation to the adiacent pmperties as only 33,971SF of the
152,7965F of buildings is considered habitable space It seems practical that only the habitable space of the nroiect be

(1) This rectangularly-shaped 3.5-acre property has a frontage of 265 feet on the north side of
Yale Avenue, a maximum depthpf 583 feet, and is located 139 feet westbf La Reina Street
(2711 West Yale Avenue- SCE Easement):,
REQUEST:
(2) Tfte applicant requests approvatof a conditional use permit under authority of Code
Section 18.14.030.040.0402 and 18.38.060 to permit a telecommunications facility on an
existing SCE lattice tower with accessory ground-mounted equipment.
BACKGROUND:
(3) This property is curcently developed with Southern California Edison (SCE) transmission
towers and: a plant nursery and is zoned T (TransitiortZone). The Anaheim General Plan
designates this property for Open Space land uses and surrounding properties to the east
for Low Density Resitlential land uses; to the west foFLow-Density Residential land uses
and Low Medium Density Residential land uses; and to the north and south for Open
:Space land uses.
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL:
(4) The applicant proposes to construct a telecommunications facility consisting of six (6)
'sectors with'one (1) panel antenna per sector on an existing 123-foofhigfi Edison
transmission tower: This request also includes ground-mounted accessory equipment
located directly beneath the tower withiri a 289 square foot (ease area.

the northern portion of the property, approximately 198 feet north of Yale Avehue. There

Item No. 5
(7) The site plan does not propose any additional landscaping: A 5 foot wide landscaped.
setback is ourrentlyprovided by the nursery.
(8) The antenna layout plan (Exhibit No: 4) indicates the panel antennas are five (5) feet in
height,by one (1) foot in width end four (4) inches in depth:: The antennas would be painted
to match the existing Eowen' In addition, a 24-inch high microwave dish and a 24-inch GPS
antenna would also be mounted on the tower and painted to match the existing tower. The
proposed antennas and brackets would not be flusfi-mounted.' Southern California Edison
standards do not allow for antennas to be Flush-mounted: According td SCE, in order to
service the lattice tower, staff must climb the tower, flush-mounted antennas create a
potential hazard because staff would :need to climb in front of the brackets and antennas.
(9) The elevation plan (Exhibit No: 2) indicates a 232 square foot proposed equipment area
Iqcated between the existing lattice tower,legs., The equipment area would have an 8-foot
high chain link fence completely surrounding. the equipment,:The applicant has. agreed to
replace the chainlink fence with decorative wrought iron as required by Code: The fencing
would secure the equipment and provide screening for the ground mounted equipment.
(10) The applicant's supplemental information statement indicates that Royal Street
Communications/Metro PCS is a new wireless carrier to the Southem California region.
This proposaPs primary objective is to cover the vicinity of Crescent Street (north), Lincoln
Avenue. (south), Dale Avenue (east), and Magnolia Street (west). Thee are surrounding
sites that are planned that will integrate with this particular' site, as the network develops.
As sites begin to go"on air", this site will cover a much wider area than the aforementioned
street boundaries., Coverage and capacity area functionofdistance and network customer
usage.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS:
(11) Staff has reviewed the proposal far a telecommunication facility 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 thafa 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 InitiaLStudy and any comments received that
there is no substantial evidence that the:project will have a significant effect on the
environment.
EVALUATION:
(12) Communication facilities and antennas are permitted in the T Zone subject to the approval
of a conditional use permit and the requirements of Section 18.38.060 pertaining to
telecommunication antennas of Chapte~J8.38 (Supplemental Uses).
(13) On, June. 7, 2005; the City Council approved a franchise agreement with SCE. Within that
agreement, provisions were made to upgrade fencing and landscaping. on properties
owned by SCE in an effort to improve the aesthetics bf the property to the publid right-of-
way. The agreement states that SCE would require that at the time a license or lease is

renewed, terminated or created, a 10-foot wide area would be devoted to landscaping.
Although this hew lease for the telecommunications facility does not include the area
immediately adjacent to the street; staff feels in keeping with the direction of the franchise
agreement, 10 feet of landscaping should be provided along Yale Avenue: Staff is
recommendingas a cohdition of approval that t~eeslshNbs inbohtaihe~s from the existing.
nursery be provided in front of the facility to screer the sitefrom public view: The existing
land use; a plahf nursery, has a large quantity of trees and shrubs and theapplicant has
agreed to work with the nursery toplace landscaping stock' in front of the
telecommunications facility to help screen the facility from public view.
(14) The recehtly updated Zoning Code includes design'guidelines and requirements for
telecommunication facilities. Code requi?es wireless communication facilities beco-located
where technologically feasible and visually beneficial. Staff feels "stealth" installations and
installation'ort existing SCE lattice towers are the best alternative to decrease visual clutter
and preserve the aestfietidquality'bf the community:' Since the proposed location for the
antennas and accessory ground mounted equipment isJOCated 198 feet from the closest
public fight-of-way; the visual impact of the additiohal ahtenhas on the existing tower would
tie minimal' Therefore;'staff recommends approval of this request.
FINDINGS:
(15) Before the Planning Commission grants any conditional use permit, ifmust make a finding.:
of fact that the evidence presented shows that alt of the following bohditions exist:
(a) That the proposed use is propefly one for which a conditional use permit is

2. That the proposed telecommunications facility would not adversely affect the adjoining land
uses and the growth and. development of the area in which it is proposed to be located because the proposal
locates the proposed antennas on an existing electrical transmission tower 198 feet from the public right-of-way
and over 85 feet the nearest adjacent single-family homes.

manner not detrimental to the particular area nor to the health and safety because the telecommunications
facility would be to located on an existing electrical lattice tower with minimal new equipment.

the proposed use will not, under the conditions imposed, impose an undue burden upon the streets and
highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area
5. That granting this conditional use permit will not, under the conditions imposed, be detrimental
to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim and that the use will contribute to an essential and

Item No. fi
6a. CEOA NEGATIVE DECLARATION (Motion)
6b. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2006-05080 (Resolution)
SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION:
(1) This rectangularly-shaped, 7.77-acre property has a frontage of 265 feet on the north side
of Ball. Road, a depth,of 1,267 feet, and is located 146 feet west of the centerline of Sherrill

(2} The applicant requests approvalof aconditional use permit under authority of Code
Section it3:14:030:040.0402 and 18:313.060 to pe~mifa telecommunications antenna on an
existing SCE electrical transmission tower with accessory ground-mounted equipment
BACKGROUND:
(3) This property is currently developed with Southern California Edison (SCE} transmission
towers and a plant nursery and' is zoned T (Transition Zone).:. The Anaheim General Plan
designates this property and properties to the north and south for open'space lahd uses. :
Properties to east are designated for Low Density Residential land uses and properties to
the west for School lahd uses.
(4) Conditional Use Permit No. 2001-04416 (to permit a telecommunications antenna and
accessary ground-mounted equipment) was approved by the Planning Commission on
December 11, 2001). This proposal pertained to a SCE transmission tower adjacent to Ball

Item No. 6
(8) The site plan does not propose any additional landscaping. A 5 foot wide ezistrig
landscape setback is provided along Stonybrook Drive.
(g) The antenna layout plan (Exhibit No. 4) indicates the panel antennas are five (5) feet in
height by one (1) foot in width and four {4) inches in depth: The antennas would be painted
to match the existing tower. Also proposed area 24-inch'diameter microwave dish and a
6-inch tall 3-inch wide GPS antenna affixed to one of the proposed sectors 50 feet above
ground IeveL These would also be painted to match the existing tower: The proposed
antennas and brackets would not be flush-mounted: Southern California Edison standards
do not allow for antennas to be flush-mounted: According to SCE, in order to service the
lattice tower, staff must climb the flush-mounted antennas, creating a potential hazard
because staff would need to climb in front of the brackets and antennas.
(10) The lease area plan (Exhibit No. 4) proposes a 155 square foot equipment area located
between the existing transmission tower legs:.. The plans indicate the equipment area
would be surrounded by a chain link fence. The applicant has agreed to replace the chain
link fence with decorative wrought iron as required by Code. The fencing wduld prpvide
screening of the ground-mounted equipment and security: The existing land use; a plant
nursery, has :a large quantity of trees and shrutis that would be placed around the legs of
the tower to help screen the equipment from public view along Stonybrook Driver
(11) The applicant's supplemental information statement indicates that Royal Street
Communications/Metro PCS is a new wireless carrier to the Southern California region.
Thtsproposal'sprimary objective is to dover the vicinity of Ball Road (south); Stonybrook
Drive (north); Magnolia Avenue (east); and Oale Avenue (west). There are surrounding
sites that are planned that will integrate with this particular site; as the Network develops.
As sitesbegin to "on air", this site will Dover a much wider area than the aforementioned
street boundaries:' Coverage'and capacity are a function'of distance and network customer
Lsage.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS:
(12) Staff has reviewed the proposal for a telecommunications facility and the Initial Study (a
copy of which is available far review ih the Planning Department) and finds no significant
environmental impact and, therefore, Yecommends 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 propdsed
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 ho substantial evidence that theprojecfwilf have a sighificant effect on the
environment.
EVALUATION:
(13) ' Telecommunications facilities and antennas are permitted in the T Zone subject to the
approval of a conditional use permit and the requirements of Section 18.38.060 pertaining.
to telecommunications antennas of Chapter 18.38 (Supplemental Uses).

Item Nb. 6
{14) ` On June 7, 2005, the City Council approved a franchise agreement with SCE. Within that
agreement, provisions were made to upgrade fencing and landscaping on properties.
owned by SCE in ahaffort to improve the aesthetics of the property tq the publiq'right-of-
way. The agreement states that SCE would require that at the time a license or lease is
renewed; terminated, or created., a 10-foot wide area would be devoted to landscaping.
Although this new lease far the telecommunications facility does hot include the'area
immediately adjacent to the street, staff feels in keeping with the direction of the franchise
agreement; 10 feet of landscaping should be provided along Stonybrook Drive:' Staff is
recommending a condition of approval that treeslshrubs in containers from the existing
nursery be provided ih front of the facility to screen the site from public view: The existing
land use,`a plant nursery, has a large quantity of trees and shrubs and the applicant has
agreed to work with the nursery to place landscaping stock in front of the
telecommunications facility d help. screen the facility from public view.
(16) The recently updated Zoning Code includes design guidelines and requirements for
telecommunication facilities. Code requires wirelesscommunication facilities to be co-
located where technologically feasible ahd visually beneficial Staff feels "stealth"
installations and installatibn bn existing SCE lattice towers are thebest alternative to
decrease visual clutterahd preserve the aesthetic quality of the community. The new
facility would be located approximately 280 feet away from Stohybrobk Drive ahd 1,095 feet
way from BaII Road, further minimizing the visibility of the proposed antennas and
equipment location from public view:. Staff feels the location on the exisiing SCE
trahsmission tower is the best alternative to decrease visual clutter and preserve the
aesthetic quality of the community and therefore, staff recommends aooroval of this
request
FINDINGS:
(16) Before the Planning Commission grants any conditional use permit, it must make a finding
of fact that the evidence presented shows that all of the following conditions exist:'
(a) That the proposed use i5 properly one for which a conditional use permit is
authorized by this code, or is an unlisted use as defined in Subsection .030
(Unlisted Uses Permitted) of Section 18.66.040 (Approval Authority);
(b) That the use will not adversely affect the adjoining land uses or the growth and
development of the area in which it is proposed to be located;
(c) That the size and shape bf the siteproposed for use is adequate to allow the ful(
development of the proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area
nor or to :health and safety;
(d) That the traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue burden
upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic ih the
area; and
(e) Thafthe granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed, if any,
will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim.

transmission tower with accessory ground-mounted equipment is properly one for which a conditional use
permit is authorized by Anaheim Municipal Code Section Nos. 18.14.030.040.0402 and 18.38.060..
2. That the proposed telecommunications facility would not adversely affect the adjoining land
uses and the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located because the proposal
locates the proposed antennas on an existing electrical transmission tower reducing the cumulative visual
clutter of such facilities by using existing infrastructure, and the transmission tower is located 280 feet from
Stonybrook Drive further minimizing the visual impact of the proposed facility.:.
3. That the size and shape of the site is adequate to allow full development of the proposal in a
manner not detrimental to the particular area nor to the health and safety because the telecommunications
facility would be located on an existing electrical transmission tower with minimal new equipment

by the proposed use will not., under the conditions imposed, impose an undue burden upon the streets and
highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area_
5. That granting this conditional use permit will not, under the conditions imposed, be
detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim and that the use will contribute to
an effective wireless communications network system in a manner that would blend in with the existing
facilities.

I. Introduction
Southwest Mortuary is an existing firm that provides transportation services to funeral homes. A
site. has been chosen at 1835 Lewis Street that they wish to use as a crematorium. It is an
existing 10,000 square foot single-story building, that contains 1,000 square feet of office space:
There is no parking rate specified in the City of Anaheim Municipal Code for a crematorium,
consequently, a pazking study is required to determine the parking requirements.
II. Project Location
The site is 1835 Lewis Street.
III. Site Description
a. Existing Site.
The existing site contains a 10,000 squaze foot industrial building that includes a 1,000
SF office:
b. Proposed Site
The applicant wishes to re-purpose the existing building. They also wish to evaluate an
propose to expand the office from 1,000 SF to 1,900 SF, within the existing building.
This study will evaluate the parking needs of the two uses: 8,100 SF as a crematorium
and 1,900 SF of office.
c. Characteristics
The site contains 28 pazking spaces. There is one driveway on South Lewis that serves
this site. There will be doors that open to allow vans to enter the building for pick-ups
and deliveries, so that these activities do not occur outside.
IV. Site Uses
The site will operate 24-hours a day, 7-days a week.
V. Parking Requirements
There is no parking rate specified in the Municipal Code for this use. Surveys of similaz sites
have been taken, and a parking count at a site similaz in nature to this site was conducted.
1
VL. Similar Site Survey
The following sites were surveyed to determine how similar they were to the intended project
site. A table of their characteristics is provided that summarized this survey. Based upori a
phone survey, the Macera site in Santa Ana was chosen to survey because its business was
limited strictly to cremations. There is no pazking lot, consequently the vehicles parked in the
alley and along the street were observed during aone-day count.

VII. Code-required parking for office portion
The following is an excerpt from ffie City of Anaheim Municipal Code for Non-Residential
Pazking requirements, Section 18.42.040 for Non-Residential Parking Requirements.
.010 Parking Spaces. Non-residential off-street parking reguirements for automobiles and
other vehicles shall be determined by the type of use (use class) associated with the property.
Table 42-A (Non-Residential Parking Requirements) specifies the number of parking spaces for
each non-residential use, regardless pf the zone district in which the use is located.
.0101 For uses not listed, parking requirements may be those determined to be
reasonably necessary by the City Traffic and Transportation Manager. The City Tra tc and
Transportation Manager may require a parking study in order to make this determination.
2
.-0102 Except as expressly provided in this section, within a business unit containing,....
more than one (1) use class, the minimum number of parking spaces shall be based on the use
class with the highest parking requirement. If a combination o•(,parking ratios applies the
number of required spaces shall be the sum total of the requirements for each type of use
established.
The parking rate per Section 18.42.040 of the Municipal Code states that for general offices, 4
spaces per 1,000 squaze feet of GFA aze required for buildings of 3 stories or lower.
VIII. Similar Site Parking Counts
Pazking counts were taken on Wednesday, Mazch 22, 2006 at the Macera Crematorium in Santa
Ana at 1920 Fuller Street. There is no paking lot, so parking was observed along the east and
west side of the building.

The highest parking demand at this similar site at any time was only one vehicle. The
cumulative total number of vehicles observed during the day was three.
IX. Methodology of Study
The Southwest Mortuary desires to establish a crematorium that will have a 1,900 SF office and
an 8,100 squaze foot crematorium. There will not be any family members allowed at this
location. The pazking demand for this site is based on a combinafion of the code-required.
pazking for the office portion and the observed parking demand from the similar site, factored up
due to unequal sizes of sites.
Office Parkin
Eight pazking spaces aze required for the office (4 pazking spaces/TSF X 1.9 TSF =8 spaces) per
Section 18.42.040 of the Municipal Code
Crematory
Because the proposed site is one and one half times as large as the similaz site, the pazking count
has been factored up. The factor is based on the ratio of the proposed site to the similaz site
(8,100/5,500=1.5). Multiplying the factor 1.5 by the 3 pazking spaces observed, results 7n 4.5
spaces. This is rounded up to 5 pazking spaces...
In summary, the Southwest Mortuary would need a minimum of thirteen pazking spaces onsite:
eight pazking spaces for the 1,900 SF office and five parking spaces for ffie 8,100 square foot
crematorium. Based on the site plan provided, there are 28 spaces provided: This will:
accommodate the anticipated parking demand, with a surplus of 15 parking spaces.
X. Findings
Finding Number .0101 That the variance; under the conditions imposed, if any, will not cause.
fewer off-street parking spaces to be provided for the proposed 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 ofsuch use.
Southwest Mortuary will provide adequate parking onsite for its intended use.
Finding Number .0102 That the variance, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not
increase the demand and competition for parking spaces upon the public streets in the immediate
vicinity of the proposed use.
Southwest Mortuary will `provide adequate parking onsite, and no on-street parking is
anticipated for this use.
_4
Finding Number .0103 That the variance, zmder the conditions unposed, if any, will not _
increase the demand and competition for parking spaces upon adjacent private property in the
immediate vicinity of the proposed use (which property is not expressly provided as parking for
such use under arz agreement in compliance with subsection 18.42.050.030 (Non-Residential)
Southwest Mortuary will provide adequate parking onsite, and no overflow parking is
anticipated to occur upon adjacent private property.
Finding Number .0104 That the variance, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not
increase traffic congestion within the off-sheet parking areas or lots provided for the proposed
use.
Southwest Mortuary will provide sufTicient parking onsite, and no increased congestions is
anticipated along South Lewis Street.
.Finding Number .0105 That the variance, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not
impede vehiculaz ingress to or egress from adjacent properties upon the public streets in the
immediate vicinity of the proposed use.
Southwest Mortuary will provide adequate parking within the onsite parking lot, and the
vehicles exiting and entering the site will not impede vehicular ingress to or egress from
adjacent properties.
XI. Recommendations and Conclusions
The proposed crematorium site at the Southwest Mortuary at 1835 Lewis Street contains 28
pazking spaces. This is adequate to accommodate the anticipated pazking demand of 13 pazking
spaces if the site operates as stated, and no family members are allowed to enter the site. If this
policy changes, and family members are allowed into the site for witnessing, additional paking
spaces may be required. It is our understanding that a condition will be placed on the project,
that a new pazking study will be required if the site becomes open to family members or if
additional services will be provided.

historic preservation projects, and urban office end commercial developments citywide.
"Parcels A and B are'designated as Housing Oppdrtunity sites(Parcel C is not designated

''1ow, lows and moderate-income households. The Plan identifies several incentives to be

RE: Jamboree Housing Development: Certification of Affordability
Anaheim Redevelopment Agency ("Agency") staff has been working with
Jamboree Housing ("Jamboree") to develop a site plan for the properties
located at W. Glenoaks Ave. and W. Greenleaf Ave. (APN 272-081-OS and
272-081-04), W. Crescent Ave. and Chippewa St. (APN 072-091-03), and
1371 W. Wilshire Ave. and 1232 W. Diamond St. (APN 255-022-51). The
properties aze remnant parcels from the I-5 widening project and were included
in the recent multi-family request for proposals. As proposed, the development
of these sites would provide approximately 143 units of affordable rental
housing.
Staff is in the process of approving an Affordable Housing Agreement between
the Agency and Jamboree. Under the terms of the Agreement, Jamboree
would enter into along-term ground lease and develop affordable rental units
on each site. All of the rental units would be required to be affordable and
leased to income qualified households. Affordability levels would be based on
the applicable Orange County income guidelines.
jamboree's obligation under the Agreement is to obtain all necessary
entitlements and financing, construct the units, and carry out the mazketing and
management responsibilities. Jamboree will also offer preference to Anaheim
residents and persons employed in Anaheim to qualify for units prior to a
general public release.
