August 7, 2006
Dear Jessica,
Due to the current state of our progress, we ask for a continuance of
the hearing date to be moved to the date of October 30, 2006. This will allow
us to generate or more certain direction of our plans.
We also ask for a second option in our request. That in the case that
the expansion of the permanent structure in the front of the restaurant is too
great,. that we are able to move the present structure to the rear of the
Restaurant. This will coincide with the lease of the neighboring property and
additional parking spaces where the liquor store currently sits. This request
has already been made with Lisa Stipkovich and is awaiting an answer at
this tune. Lisa had also stated as per a conversation we had, that an
agreement may be able to be had with the Justice Center to use their parking
as well.

Item No. 4
Staff believes the strict application. of the Zoning Code deprives the property of privileges
enjoyed by other properties under identical zoning classification in the vicinity as indicated in
.the table above. Because the subject property is adjacent to two (2) arterial highways along.
the north and west property lines (increasing the land area dedicated to landscaping and
setbacks) the placement of tha bommercial building is limited and the,location of this
property results in a special circumstance. that does not applyto other properties in the
vicinity. Therefore, staff recommends aooroval of this waiver.
(18) ..Goal 6.1 of the Communitypesign Element of the General Plan reads as follows:
°Focus acfiv8y centers at the intersections of selected major comdorsYo provide convenient
and attractive concentration of retail and ofFce usas:°
Several. policies are indicated in order to implement this goal. In summary, the design
policies include the following:
Locate buildings close to the street with shieldedparking
a .Encourage pedestrian-scale features such as public art and awnings.:
= o incorporate architectural interest through varied rooflines, eolors, matetials, and. lighting.
® Provide layered landscaping
Provide gathering spaces such as outdoor eating areas, water features, courtyards,
_ etc.
Screen utilities
(19) <Although many of the design features indicated in the Design Element have been
`incorporated into the proposed project; staff is concerned with the lack of detail in the
elements that result in a quality design and building...: The following are examples of
recently approved commercial structures that include the level. of articulation called for in
the General Plan.

Although the applicant has made progress towards enhancing the elevations as
~ecommanded by tha independent consultant, staff remains concerned with the minimally
articulated building mass antl the lack of information: pertaining o the quality of the
pproposed materials and accents to be used to enhance this building (awnings,. lights,
>trellises, stone, stucco texture).;iThis is aprominent comer of the City and is visible to
vehicular traffic along State College Boulevard; therefore, it is important for the building: to
be well articulated in'a mannerconsistehtwlth the Community Design Element of the
`General Plan. Dueto these concerns, staff has included a condition of approyai requiring
:final elevation and landscape plans be submitted for taffs review. Staff has also included
.standard conditions$f approval for commercial developments.<As conditioned., staff.
recommends a royal of the requested four unit commercial center.

February 16, 1966 (1168 South State College Boulevard - E~ Vaquero). This
establishment is no longer operating in a manner that uses this entitlement, but the
property is under separate ownership, therefore the termination. request can. not

-0EVELOPMENT PROPOSAL:
(5) The applicant requests approval of a conditional use permit to expand an existing canvash
to permit an oil change facility. The site plan (Exhibit No. 1) indicates that the property is

existing detail area into three (3) oil change stations.. The existing derail area is located at
the west end of the building, just west of the car wash exit. 'The area is covered by a
roofline and is enclosed on 3-sides by existing building walls. Floor plans propose oil
change pits to service the vehicles.
(6) Vehicular access is provided by three (3) existing driveways from Ball Road. The site plan
indtcates a total of 172 parking spaces existing on-site. No new square footage is

View of car wash from BaII Road
(8) There is an existing monument sign and a wall sign which faces Ball Road. No new
signage is proposed for he oil change facility. The applicant has indicated that the oil
.change will be listed as one of the services provided with the car wash, therefore additional
ignage is not requested.
(9) The submitted letter of operation jndicates that the oil change facility would operate during
the same hours as the car wash from 8:00 am to 6x00 pm, daily during the summer season,
and from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, daily during the winter season with up to ten (10) employees
per shift.
(10) :The applicant has indicated that the employees will be driving the cars into the oil change
.facility in order to prevent any conflict with the cars exiting the car wash tunnel. The oil
change facility is intended to be an additional service for the car wash customers, and is
not intended to be a separately operated facility.
ENVIRONMENTALIMPACT ANALYSIS:
(11) The Planning Director's authorized representative has determined that the proposed
:.project falls within the definition of Categorical Exemptions, Section 15302, Class 1
(Existing Facilities), as defined in the State CEQA Guidelines, and is, therefore, exempt
from the requirements to prepare additional environmental documentation.
.EVALUATION:
(12) Code permits an oil change facility in the C-G zone subject to approval of a conditional use
,permit. The original conditional usepermit for the car wash was granted more than ten
years ago; #herefore code requires this request to be processed'as a hew conditional use
permit.
(13) Communitypreservation records indicate there are no open code violations pertaining to
`'this property. However, the car wash facility in the past has had un-permitted signage and
un-permitted portable signage.' Staff is including a condition of approval that signage shall
be limited to existing and. approved signs and that temporary signs and other advertising
Page 3

Planning Commission

Item No. 5
devices shall not be permitted except when in connection with an approved Speciaf Event
Permit.
(14) This request to permit an oil change facility within an existing car wash is compatible with
the existing comma~cial center? Adequate parking is provided on-site and tha facility will. be
screened from public view along Ball Road and will be screened by roll. up doors when the
:facility is closed on the interior of the project. Sinca below ground pits are proposed for the
oil change facility, he view df the new service bays from the interior of the commercial
center should be very similar to the existing view of vehicle detailing. The proposed oil
'.change facility would hot negatively impact the adjacent uses and therefore, staff
recommends approval of the request subject to the recommended conditions of approval.
FINDINGS:
(1'5) 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 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 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 of the site for the use is adequate to allow the full
development of theproposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular
area or to the health and safety;.,
(d) .That the traffic generated by the use will not impose an undue burden upon the
streets and highways esigned ahd improved to carry the traffic in the area; and
(e) .That the 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.
RECOMMENDATION:
(16) Staff recommends that, unless additional or contrary information is received during the
meeting, and based upon the evidence submitted to the Commission, including the ,
evidence presented in this staff report, and oral and written evidence presented at the
public hearing, the Commission take the following actions:
(a) By motion, approve a CEQA Categorical Exemption -:Class 9 (Existing Facilities)
for the project
(b) By resolution, approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2006-05124 to expand an
:existing car wash to permit an oil change facility by adopting the attached

equipment are permitted within the C-G,(SC) Zone subject to an administrative approval of
a Telecommunications Antenna Review Permit and the requirements of Section No.
18.38.060 pertaining to telecommunications antennas of Chapter 18.38 (Supplemental
Uses). However, the Code states that the maximumheight of telecommunications facilities
in he Scenic Corridor Overlay may exceed the height limit of 35 feet up to a maximum of
10% (38.5 feet) administratively,,and any additional height maybe approvetl as a part of
the conditional use permit.
(11) This proposal is located within the Scenic Corridor Overlay Zone which was adopted in
1975 to provide for and promote the orderly growth in'certain areas of the City designated
as being of distinctive, scenic importance, while implementing local government agency
actions forthe protection, preservation and enhancement of the unicue and natural scenic
assets of these areas as a valuable resource to the community."

facilities. Code requires wireless communication facilities to be designed td minimize the
visual impact and to be compatible with existing architectural elements,'buildng materials,
and other site characteristics.' Staff believes'stealthbuilding-mounted installations are the
best alternative to tlecrease visual clutterand to preserve the aesthetic qualityof the
community.=The proposed facilitywould be designed to match the previously-approved
facility on theadjaceht stairwell tower and would not exceed the existing height of the
`adjacent facility of 44 feet.'Furthermore; the new faciltty would belocated approximately
.130 feet from Canyon Rim Road and 240 feet from Anaheim Hills Road, further minimizing

A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM PLANNING COMMISSION
THAT PETITION FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2006-05125 BE GRANTED
(500 SOUTH ANAHEIM HLLLS ROAD)
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:
PARCELS 1 AND Z AS SHOWN ON A MAP FILED IN BOOK 121, PAGE 47 OF
PARCEL MAPS,. RECORDS OF ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA..
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in the
City of Anaheim on September 18, 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, 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 applicant's proposal to permit a stealth building-mounted telecommunications
facility with accessory ground-mounted equipment is properly one for which a conditional use permit is
authorized by Anaheim Municipal Code Section Nos. 18.08.030.040 (Antennas. -Stealth Building-Mounted)
and 18.38.060.050.0512 (Supplemental Uses -Antennas Telecommunications).
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 since the new facility would be
designed to minimize the visual impact and would incorporate similar building materials as the adjacent
existing roof-mounted facility, and the proposed accessory ground-mounted equipment would match the
architectural elements and building materials of the existing medical office building.
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 building and the new equipment facility woulu not reduce the number
of parking spaces provided since it would be located in an existing landscaped planter.
4. That because this is an unmanned facility with infrequent maintenance, the traffic generated
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 contributes to an
essential and effective wireless communication network system in a manner that would blend in with the
existing facilities.
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 Planning

property is zoned C-G {General Cbmmercialf and the Anaheim General Plan designates this
property for Mixed Use land uses..Surrounding properties to the east and west are also
designated for Mixed Use land uses, to the south (across Lincoln Avehue) for Mixed Use
and Low Density Residential land uses antl to thenbrth for Medium Dehsity Residential land
uses.
PREVIOUS ZONING ACTIONS:
(4) The following zoning .actions pertain to this property:
(a) Conditional Use Permit No. 2005-05028 (to construct a 3,897 square-foot, three unit
commercial retail center including adrive-through coffee shop (Starbucks) with waivers
of (a) minimumlandscaped setback adjacent to an arterial, (b) minimum number of

(6) The site, plan :(Exhibit No. 1) indicates theproposed clinic would occupy,the middle tenant
`:space of the commercial center: The floor; plan (Exhibit No. 2) indicates the proposed clinic
would consist of surgery, exam,'x-ray, and'dark rooms, as well as the doctor's office,
reception/waiting room, and restrcom.
(7) Vehicular access to the site would be provided via one (1) driveway from Lincoln Avenue
and one (1) driveway from the existing ®Iley (the existing driveway on Carleton Street would
be closed).. The site plan indicates a total of 22 parking spaces available and approved
throughthe,priorporking waiver for the`site. Code;requires 53 spaces based on the following
.'.chart.
(8) The approval of the commercial center included a request for a waiver of minimum number
of parking spaces 53 required; 22 proposed). The cdmplexion of uses evaluated by the
:.parking study to justify this waiver identified a retail, use for the tenant space now to be
>occupied with the veterinary clinic. Both retail uses and veterinary services require a
,.,. minimum of 5.5 spaces per 1,000. gross square feet of floor area. Since veterinary services
have the same parking demand ratio as retail services, staff has determined the proposed
use is consistent with the approved parking study.

Item No. 7
(11) .:The applicant has also submitted a "Sanitation Procedures" document that would be
distributed to their customers and staff. The goal of this document is to ensure on-going
maintenance and sanitation from'the animals, and ensure there are no conflicts with the
heighbortng uses within the commercial center 'The document includes guidelines and
operating procedures that would prohibit customers from waiting outside the building with
their pets, require clinic staff to accompanycustomers to theircar after'appontments,
immediate clean-up and saNtizing as necessary; and a regular cleaning schedule of the
facility: Staff has added language to ensure the regular cleaning schedule includes the
exterior of the facility as well. Staff has reviewed the measures proposed and have
included these itemsas conditions of approval (with the exception of requiring clinic staff to
accompany customers to their cars after appointments) forthe project and referenced the
''Sanitation Procedures" document in the attached resolution.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS:
(12) Staff has reviewed the proposal to permiNa veterinary clinic within apreviously-approved
commercial center, and does hereby find that the Negative Declaration previously approved.
in connection with the previously-approved commercial centecvnderConditional Use
'Permit No 2005-05028, is adequate to serve as the;required environmental documentation
in connection with this request upon finding that the'declaration reflects the independent
judgment of the lead agency and that it has considered the Negative Declaration dgether
: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.
EVALUATION:
(13) Veterinary'service facilities are permitted in the C-G'zone subject to the approval of a
conditional use permit.
(14) As part of staff evaluation of the project, issues pertaining to compatibility with the adjacent
Yestaurant uses were discussed with the applicant`{primarily maintenance, sanitation, and
odors). Based on these discussions, the applicant ubmitted the "Sanitation Procedures"
document and agreed to install'mechanical equipment designed to reduce odor emissions
'#rom the interior space. Since the facility would not include kennel/boarding facilities, and
would operate in a manner consistent with other retail/office uses in the area, staff believes
the operation would not adversely affect adjoining7and uses or the'growth or development
of the area. In addition, the. parking requirement is the same for the proposed use as a
'retail use, and the land use would be completely contained within thebuilding, therefore the
size and shape of the site is adequate for the full development of the proposed use, and
staff recommends approval of the request to permit a veterinary clinic within a previously-
approved commercial center as conditioned.
FINDINGS:
(15) ..Before the Commission grants any conditional use permit, it must make a finding of fact
` that the evidence presented shows that all of the following conditions exist:
(a) That the 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 affect the adjoining land uses or the growth and
development of the area in which it is proposed to be located;
Page 4
Staff Report to the
Planning Commission
September 1'6, 2006
Item No. 7
(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 to the health and safety;
(d) .That the traffic generated by the use will not impose an undue burden upon the
streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffc in the area; and
(e) That the 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.
RECOMMENDATION:
(16) Staff recommends that, unless additional or contrary information is received during the
meeting, and based upon the evidence submitted to the Commission, including the
evidence presented in this staff report, and oral and written evidence presented at the
public hearing, the Commission take the following actions:
(a) By motion, determine the previously-approved Negative Declaration is adequate to
.serve as the required environmental documentation in connection with this request.
(b) By resolution, aoorove Conditional. Use Permit No. 2006-05127 to permit a veterinary
clinic within apreviously-approved commercial center by adopting the attached
resolution including the findings and conditions contained therein.

2. That the proposed 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 because the proposed project would operate in
a manner that is clean and consistent with retail uses by adopting and adhering to sanitation procedures. In
addition, the facility does nut include kenneUboarding facilities, and would therefore be compatible with
surrounding land uses.

the proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area or to the health and safety as both retail
uses and veterinary services require a minimum of 5.5 spaces per 1,000 gross square feet of floor area.
Since veterinary services have the same parking demand ratio as retail services, staff has determined the
proposed use is consistent with the approved parking study. and can be accommodated on-site.

streets and highways designed and .improved to carry the traffic. in the area because the project would. be
operate in a manner consistent with other retailloffice uses in the area

A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM PLANNING COMMISSION
THAT PETITION FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2005-05028 BE GRANTED
(1131 WEST LINCOLN AVENUE)
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:
LOTS 29 TO 36 INCLUSIVE IN BLOCK 4 OF SUMMERFIELD AND POOENHEIMERS
SUBDIVISION OF THE SPOERL TRACT, IN THE CITY OF ANAHEIM, COUNTY OF
ORANGE, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AS PER MAP RECORDED IN BOOK 19, PAGE
44 OF MISCELLANEOUS RECORDS OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in the
City of Anaheim on October 31, 2005 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, 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 November 28, and December 12, 2005 Planning Commission meetings; 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 proposal to construct a 3,897 square-foot, three unit commercial retail center
including adrive-through coffee shop (Starbucks) under authority of Code Section No. 18.08.030.010, with
waivers of the following, is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized:
(a) SECTION NO. 18.08.060.010.0102 Minimum landscaped setback adjacent
to an arterial (15 feet required;. 6 feet
proposed)
(b) SECTION NO. 18.42.040.010 Minimum number of parking spaces
_(53 required; 22 proposed and'
recommended by Staff)
(c) SECTION NO. 18.42.080.020 Drive-through lane location
(Drive-through lane not permitted within
setback; drive-through. lane proposed in
setback)
2. That the above-mentioned waivers (a) and (c) are hereby approved as the site is uniquely
constrained by having frontage on two public streets and a public alley, resulting in a greater obligation for
setback area than other identically zoned properties within the vicinity. Additionally, the neighboring
properties to the east and west provide no landscape setback,. whereas this request includes the provision of
six feet of landscaping along Lincoln Avenue..
3. That the above-mentioned waiver (b) is hereby approved based upon the submitted parking
analysis prepared by Kunzman Associates, Inc., dated September 20, 2005. The City's independent Traffic
Cr\PC2005-156 -1 _ PC2005-156
Consultant has reviewed the parking analysis and has determined that the proposed parking area referenced
in the study would be sufficient for the proposed uses on the property.
4. That the parking waiver, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not cause fewer off-street
parking spaces to be provided For such use than the number of such spaces necessary to accommodate all
vehicles attributable to such use under the normal and reasonable foreseeable conditions of operation of
such use, since the observed parking demand of similar commercial centers (Garden Grove, Westminster,
and Santa Ana) indicate that this site would potentially require an actual demand ranging from 13 to 19
parking spaces during peak demand. The project would provide a total of 22 parking spaces. As a result,
the project would provide adequate off-street parking to accommodate alt vehicles attributable to the project
under normal operation.
5. That the waiver, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not increase the demand and
competition for parking spaces upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of the proposed use. As
demonstrated in this parking study, the project will provide. adequate parking on-site to accommodate parking
demand. under normal operation. As demonstrated in this parking study, the project will provide adequate
parking on-site to accommodate parking demand under normal operation. The site is expected to contain a
surplus of lwo to nine spaces during peak operation; therefore,. no impact upon on-street parking is
anticipated as a result of this use.
6. That the waiver, under the conditions imposed, if any, wilt not increase the demand for
parking spaces upon adjacent private property in the immediate vicinity of the proposed use as the property
will provide adequate parking to accommodate actual parking demand. The project will provide adequate
parking on the project site to accommodate its parking generation. The site will accommodate peak demand
with only 59%-86% of on-site parking. spaces utilized. No demand for parking on adjacent private property is
forecasted.
7. .That the waiver, under the conditions imposed, will not increase traffic congestion within the
off-street parking areas or lots provided for such use since an existing driveway along Carleton Street would
be removed and access would be gained directly from the alley to the north. Ingress and egress on Lincoln
Avenue would be right inlright out only. Therefore,. traffic congestion would not be anticipated with
implementation of the project.
8. 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 as the parking study has demonstrated that the site can
accommodate the combined uses on site;
9. That the granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed will not be
detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim.
10. That two people indicated their presence at said public hearing in support; and that a letter
was received in support and a petition with 84 signatures jn support was received from the applicant; and
that no one 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 Planning
Commission has reviewed the proposal to construct a 3,897 square-foot, three unit commercial retail center
including adrive-through coffee shop (Starbucks) with waivers of (a) minimum landscaped setback, (b)
minimum number of parking spaces, and (c) location ofdrive-through lane; 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.

described as:
LOTS 29 TO 36 INCLUSIVE IN BLOCK 4 OF SUMMERFIELD AND POOENHEIMERS
SUBDIVISION OF THE SPOERL TRACT, IN THE CITY OF ANAHEIM, COUNTY OF
ORANGE, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AS PER MAP RECORDED IN BOOK 19, PAGE 44
OF MISCELLANEOUS RECORDS OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY.
WHEREAS, on December 12, 2005, the Anaheim Planning Commission did, by its Resolution No.
PC2005-156, grant Conditional Use Permit No. 2005-05028 to construct a 3,897 square-foot, three unit
commercial retail center including adrive-through coffee shop (Starbucks) waivers of the following:
(a) SECTION NO. 18.08.060.010.0102 Minimum landscaped setback adjacent

(b) SECTION N'O. 18.42.040.010 Minimum number of oarking spaces
(53 required; 22 proposed and recommended
by Staff)
(c) SECTION NO. 18.42.060.020 Drive-through Zane location
(Drive-through lane not permitted within
setback; drive-through lane proposed in
setback)
WHEREAS, Resolution No. PC2005-156, adopted in connection with subject conditional use
permit, includes the following condition of approval:
"1. That at no time shall the Starbucks provide lunch service."
WHEREAS, the applicant has requested to amend said condition of approval to read:
"1. That at no time shall the Starbucks sell non-beverage lunch items that are
freshly prepared on premises "
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in the City of
Anaheim on June 26, 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 amendment and to investigate and make findings and
recommendations in connection therewith; and that said hearing was continued from the June 12, 2006,
Planning Commission 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 request to amend a condition of approval pertaining to lunch service at a previously-
approved drive-through coffee shop (Starbucks) to permit the incidental sales of pre-packed non-beverage lunch
CR\PC2006-57 -1- PC2006-57
items is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized under the authority of Code Sections
18.08.030.040.0402 (Drive-through Facilities) and 18.60.190.030 (Amendment of Permit Approval).
2. That the incidental sales ofpre-packed non-beverage lunch items will not adversely affect the
adjoining land uses or the growth and development of the area because the previously-approved parking demand
study demonstrated the site provided three spaces above the projected actual peak demand for the site, and staff
believes that the sale of pre-packed lunch items would not generate additional on-site parking demand greater than
the spaces provided on-site since the supplemental information provided by Starbucks demonstrates sandwich
sales are a very small portion of overall sales in any given period (between. 1..06-2.03%), and consist, on average,
of approximately ten sandwiches sold per day.
3. That the granting of the conditional use permit and modifications under the conditions
imposed, will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Pnaheim.
4. That the traffic generated by the modified use will not impose an undue burden upon the
streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area because most sandwich sales are in
combination with a beverage purchase, which demonstrates that sandwich sales would not significantly increase
the need for on-site parking or increase in vehicle trips to the site.
5. That no one 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 Planning
Commission has reviewed the proposal and does hereby find that the Negative Declaration previously approved
in connection with Conditional Use Permit No. 2005-05028 is adequate to serve as the required environmental
documentation in connection with this request 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 Planning Commission does hereby
amend, in its entirety, the conditions contained in Resolution No. PC2005-156 to read as follows:
1. That at no time shall the Starbucks sell food items that are freshly prepared on-premises.
2. That the Subway sandwich shop shalt not open for customers prior to 9 a.m.
3. That no additional restauranVfood service uses shall be allowed beyond what is indicated on the

ENVIRONMENTALIMPACTANALYSIS: r;
?(12) Staff has reviewed the proposal to permit a tree service contractor's storage yard with a
modular office building and the Initial Study,(a copy of which is available forYeview in the
Planning Department) and finds no significant environmental impact and, #herefore,
recommends'that aNegative Declaration be`approved upon a finding by the Rlanning
Commission that the Negative Declaration reflects the ndependentjudgmeht of the lead
agency; and that it has'considered the proposed Negative Declaration together with any
comments received during the public review;process and further. finding on the basis of the
Initial Study and any comments received that there is no substantial evidence that the
project will have a significant effect on the environment.
EVALUATION:
(13) Contractor's storage yard with a modular office building (including the outdoor storage of
:trucks, equipment, storage containers, wood stockpile, ahd maintenance), are permitted in
the I Zonesubject to the approval of a conditional use,permit.
(14) Waiver (a) pertains to the minimum landscape setbacKadjacent to an arterial highway.
Code requires a 20-fooEwide landscaped setback along arterial. highways and plans
indicate an existing setback of 10`feet adjacent to Broadway. The applicanfhas submitted
the attached Justification of Waiver form indicating that. the narrow width of the property
results in unique circumstances. Staff believes that there are special circumstances ?
applicable to the property to justify the minimum landscape waiver due to the narrow
frontage and the existing density of landscaping alohg Broadway:; F~~rthermore, as seen in
the aerial on the following page, adjacent industrial properties east of the subject property
have similarly landscaped setbacks along Broadway, 7anging between 8 to 30 feet wide.
Therefore,"staff recommends approval of the waiver. In order to further screen the subject
use from vehicular traffic along Broadway, staff has included a conddion forthe addition of
tall hrubbery adjacentto the existing fence.'

Item No. 9
Staff Report to the
Planning Commission
September 18, 2006
Item No. 9
(15) Waiver.. (b) pertains to required enclosure of outdoor uses:. Code requires a minimum 6-foot
high (or higher) solid masonry or building wall in order to screen the outdoor storage use.
Plans indicate an existing 6-foot high chain link fence with a mesh screen. The applicant
proposes o retain the existing chain. link fence with mesh as seen in the previous
photograph: As indicated on the ite plan, the wood and plant debris gathered from. the
operation would be stored adjacent to Broadway tlirectly behind the fence. Since. the plant
debris and wood trimmings are removed on a weekly basis,. the trimmings do not exceed
<the height of the screen and are not visible from public view. In addition, the permanent
equipment storage and service vehicles are stored to the rear of the property ensuring that
::all outdoor storage would not be visible to vehicular traffic along Broadway.. The property
has a very narrow frontage, therefpre the. visibility of the site from the street is minimal and
the existing chain link fence with mesh provides adequate screening of the storage yard. In
addition, a waiver of required. screening was previously-approved for the fence along the
railroad right-of-way. Therefore, staff recommends approval of this waiver.
(16) The request to permit an outdoor contractor's storage yard at this location was originally
approved in September 1995, without a time limit. In 2001, as a result of a Community
Preservation inspections, the Planning Commission initiated the revocation or modification
of the conditional use permit due to the poor maintenance of the site. The permit was
modified to include a time limitation and general maintenance conditions, including the
installation of additional`landsgaping adjacent to the railroad right-of-way to further screen
the use from he adjacent residences. In 2002 the permit was reinstated by the City.
Council, however, concerns were expressed pertaining to the continued history of violations
df conditions of approval and the visibility of barbed/razor wire to thepublic right-of-way. In
2003 the permit was reinstated and expired on October 17, 2005.
(17) Staff and Community Preservation have inspected theproperty and found it to be well
<maintained and that the use does not appear to be operating in a mariner detrimental to the
surrounding area. Theproperty sproperlytnaintained in accordance with thepreviously-
approved conditions of approva(and the landscaping installed,adjaceht to the railroad right-
of-way and Broadway is in compliance with Code. The maintenance concerns and razor
wire visible to thepublic right-of-way brought forward to the Planning Commissionand City
Council in the past have been rectified and the business is operating in dompliance with all
conditions of approval. All. outdoor storage continues to remain below the existing fence as
.required by .Code. Therefore, staff recommends approval of this conditional use permit.
application without a time limit.
(18) In addition, Community Preservation records indicate that there ere no outstanding
complaints pertaining to this property. Staff has included a condition of approval requiring
quarterly inspections by Community Preservation staff to ensure the continued proper.
maintenance of the property.
`FINDINGSi
(19) When practical difficulties or unnecessary. hardships .result from.strict enforcement of the
Zoning Code, a modification maybe granted for the purpose bf 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 or code waiver is to prevent discrimination and none shall be approved which
would have the effect of granting a special. privilege not shared by other similarproperties.

{b) That strict application of the Zoning Code deprives the property of privileges
enjoyed by other properties antler identical zoning classification in the vicinity..

streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic In the area; and
(e) That the granting of the conditional use permit under the conditidns imposed, if

includes a gated pool and restrooms, a lawn area, "outdoor room" and various seattng areas.
The pedestrian paseos along the easterly edge of the property, adjacent to the Metrolink rail
road. line were not included in the recreation'area calculation because this area is projected to
exceed sound attenuation levels permitted by code for commoh recreation areas. While this
area would still be available for recreational uses, the code required recreation area is
provided by other areas`throughoutlthe development. In addition to the centralized recreation
area provided for the residents of the development, the,proposai also includes dedication of an

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS:
(18) On June 7, 2004,dhe City Council certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR) No. 330 r
(hereinafterreferred to as "the Final EIR"), for the Anaheim General Plan and Zoning Code,
adopted a Statement of Findings and Facts, and adopted a Mitigation Monitoring Program in
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The,Final EIR addressed
-.:the environmental impacts and mitigation measures associated with those activities that would
be undertaken. The Mitigation Monitoring Program ensures compliance with the adopted
mitigation measures.
' (19) CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines establish the type of environmental documentation which is
required when changes to a project occur after an EIR is certified.! Section 15164 of the CEQA
Guidelines establishes the use of an Addendum as subsequent environmental. documentation
if some changes or additions o a Final EIR are necessary, but none of the conditions
.described in Section 151.62. requiring preparation of a supplemental or subsequent. EIR have
occurred.
(20) In connection with the proposed project actions, an Addendum to the Final EIR has been
prepared. The Addendum and its technical appendices'have been provided to he Planning
Commissionand are available for review in the Planning Department. The Addendum
analyzes theproposed,project actions and updates the analyses to reflect current
circumstances and technical changes associated with the proposed restdential use of the
subject property in ordecto determine whether any significant ehvronmental impacts which
were not identified in the Final EIR would result or whether previdusly identified significant
impacts would be substantially more severe. The Final EIR included specific conditions and
measures that would retluce potential impacts associated with the. implementation of the
General Plan and Zoning Code. Mitigation Monitoring Plan No. 122 was prepared and
adopted in conjunction with certification of Final EIR to implement the mitigation measures. All
applicable mitigation measures from MMP No. 122 wtll be incorporated ihto the proposed
residential development.
(21) .Due to the proximity of the development to two railroads, a noise study was prepared by
BridgeneLlntemational, dated April 20,.2006.: The study determined Ghat the proposed 14-foot
,high sound wall would serve to attenuate the sound levels to less than 65 dB CNEL for the
recreation areas and identified the requirements to comply with the interior noise standard.
(22) As demonstrated by the analysis included to the Final EIR and Addendum, all environmental
.issues for the proposed :project actions will not resultin new significant impacts or substantial
<increases in the severity of previously identified significant impacts; ard; therefore, no
supplemental or subsequent environmental review is required. Staff revtew further indicates
thatthe previously-certified Final EIR and Mitigation Monitoring Plan No: 122, In
conjunction: with the Addendum, are adequate to serveas the required environmental
documentation for the proposed project actions.
EVALUATION:
(23) The Anaheim General Pian Land Use Element designates this property for Medium and Low-
Medlum Density Residential land uses, with a density range of-0 to 18 dwelling units per acre
__ on the westerly two-thirds of the site and 0 to 36 dwelling units. peracre on the easterly third.
The applicant. proposes 339 attached single-family condominium dwelling units at a density of
17 dwelling units per gross acre for the overall site.: The proposed development would be

.compatible with the existing residential developments to the south and west as well as the
future residential development to the north.
(24) ?he project site contains parcels identified as a portion of Site No. 25 of the Central Anaheim
Area within the Housing Element with a density range of up to 18 and 36 units per acre.
-Based on this density, he site could accommodate a maximum df451 units; and a total of 339
units are,planned. Thus, approval of the redevelopment of this site from industrial to multiple-
family residential would result. in an increase in the City's housing stock and would be
consistent with the goals and policies contained in the Housing Element.
(25) .Attached single-family residences designed with. flexible standards are permitted in the RM-3
and RM-4 zones, subject to the appreval of a conditional use permit under authority of Code
Section 18.06.160 pertaining to residential planned unitdevelopments.
(26) Waiver (a) pertains to the minimum lot area per dwelling unit. As described above, the property
falls within two zoning designations and the delineation is identified onthe Zoning Calculation
Exhibit (Exhibit No. 5). Portion A is zoned RM-3 and' requires a minimum of 2,400 square feet
per unit. Portion A includes 196 units, requiring a minimum lot area of 470.400 square feet of
.`.land, notihcluding public or private streets. The actual lot area provided byPortion A is
357.106 square feet (1,822s:f. per unit), so that this potien bf the deg elopment is deficient by
>113.294 square feet. Portion B is zoned RM-4, requiring aminimum lot area of 171.600
square feet and provides 226:725 square feet (1,585 s.f. per unit), not including public or
:private streets. Portion 8 has a urplus of55.125 square feet of lot area. Although the overall
project complies withthe lowestpennitted density established by the General Pian designation
which allows 18 dwelling units per acre, the zoning designations require the minimum lot area
per dwelling .unit to exclude the proposed streets and park dedication, resulting ih the need 9or
this waives The applicant hassubmitted the attached Just cation of Waiver form indicating
-that although the project in its entirety does not meet the development stahdardsof the more
?restrictive zone (RM-3), the proposed lot area is acceptable per the General Plan based on the
gross area of the site.' The proposed streets are strategically located'to maintain the City's
.original grid street pattern and a portion of the property is allocated for aproposed public park,
therefore the minimum lot area per dwelling unit cannot be met.
(27) Waiver (b)pertains to the minimum setback between bulldings.'Based on the three. story
height df the residential buildings, Code requires a minimum. forty: 40) foot separation between
buildings: The applicant proposes to meet this requirement between. building fronts by
providing wide pedestrian paseos throughout the project. However, the building separation
`between the side and rear elevations vary from a minimum of 20 feet to 35 feet. The applicant
has submitted the attached Justification. of W giver form indicating that they believe the project
is compatible with existing and urrounding land uses and that the project maintains good
design that will enhance the privacy and livability for residents within and surrounding the
:.:project. The areas between buildings would include landscaping and a window'arrangement to
protect the privacy of the residents. Although the setbacks do not comply with code, staff feels
that the site design, architecture, landscaping, and window an-angementachieves the intent of
this code requirement.
(28) .Waiver (c) pertains to the maximum wall length. Code allows a maximum twenty (20) foot wall
length within the RM-3 and RM-4 zones. The applicant proposes wall lengths Yanging from 80
to 156 feet.7he intent of the Code is to ensure articulation along building elevations for)arge
multiple family dwellings: Building walls that would exceed the maximum twenty(20) foot wall
length occur of the rear:elevations facing private alleys or within the interior of the auto courts.
All building walls along the front and sides of the buildings. are richly articulated with entry and
balcony structures, as well as with architectural detatlswhich provide visual interest. The
Page 10

Item No. 10
applicant has submitted the attached Justification of Waiver form indicating: that they are
confident that the proposed elevations provide the articulation that is desired. Compliance with.
code for the rear elevations and within the auto courts would limit the efficiency of the
proposed units and create articuiatibn in areas that are not readilybisible to the general public.
The proposed elevations. comply with the intent of the code, therefore staff supports this
waiver.
(29) Waiver (d) pertains to the interior setback for the telecommunications antenna and associated
utility cabinet. Code requires that all portions of any antenna structure and associated
equipment be located aminimum of five (5) feet from any property line. Theproposed antenna
and equipment room are proposed directly adjacent to the east property line. The applicant
'.has submitted the attached Justification of Waiver form indicating the telecommunication
facility has been strategically placetl on the site to disguise it as much as possible from the
public right-of-way. If the relocatioh of this antenna is approved, staff has determined that the
proposed location would be the least obtrusive to both the future residents of the development
and the surrounding community. fJo setback is proposed for the equipment room due to its
location adjacent to a private drive and the proposed 14 foot high sound wall Maintaining the
required setback would cause the equipmehfroom to encroach into the vehicular accessway.
(30) Waiver (e) pertains to required improvement of right-of-way. Public Works Standard Detail
No:160-A, pertaining to tight-of-way design fora 2-lane Ihterior (residential} street with parking
on both sides, requires a width of &0 feet. Plans indicate a 52 (without parking) to a 55 foot
width for Water Street and a 55-foot width for Melrose and Kroege~ Streets.?he applicant has
submitted the attached Justification bf WaiveEform indicating that although the proposed street
section does not meet the streetwidth standards, It is consistent with the streets in the
surrounding community. The property, being located in the downtown area is different from
other properties for which the Bald street standard would be required. Since these proposed
streets would be similar in width as the existing residential streets to the north and west
(across Santa Ana and Olive Streets), Public Works Department staff supports the applicant's
request far a`52 to 55-foot wide right-of-way width to include a 36-foot wide street, 5-foot wide
parkways, and 4.5-foot wide sidewalks consistent with the surrounding street pattern. The
parkway and sidewalk improvements wouldbe installed by the developer
(31) Waiver (f) pertains to maximum fence height,'Code allows a maximum eight (8) foot high.
perimeter wall separating }esidehtiel uses from roll roads. The applicant proposes. a fourteen
(14) foot high sound wall along the railroad right-of-way.'The applicant has submitted the
attached Justification of Waiver form indicating that the proposed wall height is consistent with
othet previously-approved developments. The developments Include Vine Street apartments
and the 63-unit condominium development directly to the south of the site. These walls would
be aonststent with existing walls abutting the Metrollnk railroad, including the wall separating
Citrus Park from the railroad of Broadway and Atchisoh:' Treatmeht of the sound watt,
including clinging vines; would be consistent with the aforementioned walls in the surrounding
area.
(32) The following table identifies the proposed building and porch/patio setbacks proposed
adjacent to public and private streets:
Page 11
Staff Report to the
Planning. Commission
,September 18, 2006
Item. No. 10
(33) .The requested deviation pertains to setbacks abutting public and private streets for overall
:.building setback and for porches and patios. Code requires a minimumstreet setback of 15
feet, fully lahdscaped, with an allowable five foot encroachment for porches; therefore, a 10
foot setback is required for the proposed .covered and uncovered porches. Private. patios are
not permitted encroachments within street setbacks.. The applicant requests a 1' to 5 foot
deviation for the proposed building setbacks and a 1 to 8 foot deviation for the proposed
setbacks for porches and patios, as indicated in the table above. Staff believes that this
modification would beJustified in this case since the amount of recreational space exceeds
fCode requirements, and the site design, architecture, landscaping, and windowarrangement
.achieves the intent of these development standards. 7o maximize the efficiency of the site,
"larger setbacks are provided where it is most important, along he two abutting collector
streets, Olive Street and South Street, witFj lesser setbacks provided along those streets which
are intended to be more pedestrian-oriented. Setbacks along Olive Street. (facing single-family
residencesjmeet Cotle requirements, with the exception of the five foot encroachment for ,
private patios. As shown in the elevations, the patios would be surrounded by low wails, some
df which would be transparent by use of wrought iron or wood railing. Staff feels that the
location of entries and front porches close o the sidewalk would accomplish the goal creating
a pedestriah oriented and pedestrian friendly environment within the development. Overall, the
,proposed project would be compatible with existing,ahd surrounding lahd uses and this
modification from the.Code allowed under the Planned Unit Development Ordinance (Chapter
.18.06) would achieve a good project designed to preserve and enhance the neighborhood in a
manner that is compatible in scale, mass and bulk with existing buildings, in the area and
.consistent with the design guidelines for he area. Therefore,. staff recommends approval of
these modifications, as conditioned.
(34) Overall, staff believes the proposed project is compatible with existing and surrounding land
uses and that despite the above-noted deviations from the code, the project maintains good
overall project design.. The project is designed to enhance the privacy and livability for
residents within and around the project, and would result in aproject that is compatible and
consistent with surrounding land.uses. Because the. proposed use would not adversely affect
he adjoining land uses and the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed
and because the size and,shape of the site for the proposed use is adequate to allow. the full
development of the proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area, staff
recommehds approval of the residential development as conditioned.
(35) .Staff is supportive of the relocation of the existing telecommuhications facility since the
.proposed. location between the railroad and a private. driveway has the least impact to the
urrounding community. In addition, the relocation would provide a new stealth ground-
" mouhted facility in place of an existing non-cohforming non-stealth monopole. Since the
height of the existing ground-mounted antenna is 65 feet, there are constraints to converting
the facility to a building mounted antenna, as there is not a tall enough. facility in the common
urea to house the antennas. Further, placement within a residential unit would be problematic

`for maintenance reasons. Although aground-mounted facility appears to be the best solution
here, staff is oooosed to the monopine proposed. The applicant has indicated that the
monopine was selected to provide for future co-location opportunities to accommodate a total
of three carriers. Generally, staff is supportive of the co-location of telecommunications.
facilities, however ih this case, the height and proposed monopine are problematic given the
proposed development and the existing backdrop for the facility.
(36) Concerns with the proposed monopine are as follows:
• Staff is not supportive of co-location on the proposed antenna becausa the multiple
antenna would behghly visible withouf adequate landscape screening. The Intent is to
keep the size and.impact of the facility as minimal as possible.
• A row of Afghan Pines are proposed within the planter,adjacent to the 94 foot high
sound wall. This type of tree has a spread of 15 to 25 feet. The planter area has a width
of approximately 6 feet along he east propertyJine, abutting the railroad. Staff has
concemsthat the width of the,planter area is significantly less than thespread of the tree
which will stunt the ree growth and result in minimal screening. Staff has concerns with
future maintenance issues that may result from the tree encroaching onto Metrolink
property;and the possibility ofahe trees being damaged, or even removed, since they are
? not permitted to infringe upon railroad property.
• ?The sizeof the trey at the time of planting is approximately 12 feet high and only
reaches 30 to 50 feet in height at maturity. The height of the antenna,isproposed at 75
feet. Even under: ideal circumstances (a 25-foot wide planter with no wall) the proposed
; pines would not adequately screen theproposed monopine or create'the desired image
of a naturalized grove of pine trees since the real;pines will be much lower than the
monopine.
(37) Staff originally requested that a slimline pole be proposed in order 4o attract theleast amount
of attention, but this altemative is;apparently not technologically feasible. An antenna
.disguised as a palm tree, as depicted in the following photograph, is the next least visible
altemative forthe proposed facility.Staff recommends that the planter along he easterly
property line be planted with similar palms as' well as evergreen canopy trees to provide a
buffer between the residential buildings and the rail road. Staff requests that tha applicant
resubmit plans and photosimulatiohsfor asingle-facility monopalm at the same location. In
order to create an environment In which the antenna can blend in, palm trees matching the
antenna should be planted in a row along the east property line..They would .alternate with
evergreen canopy trans to provide a buffer between the residences and the railroad.. The
Redevelopment Agency currently has an inventory of palms which were transplanted from
.another site,. as depicted in the following photograph„and would be made available to the
applicant to offset the cost difference between 24" boxpines and mature palms. 'A row of palm
trees is a common feature within the historic district antl can easilybe accommodated in a
narrow planter area Palm trees are also more likely to approach the height of the
telecommunications facility. Staff has included a condition of approvalrequiring that the
applicant submit revised plans for asingle-facility in the form of a monopaim.

WHEREAS, the Planning Commissidn did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in the
City of Anaheim on September 18, 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, 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 ail evidence and reports offered at said hearing, does find
and determine the following facts:
1. That the proposed request to construct a 339 unit single-family attached condominium
planned unit development with modification of development standards and to reloca~e a legal nonconforming
ground-mounted telecommunications antenna is properly one for which a conditional use permit is
authorized by Anaheim Municipal Code Section Nos. 18.06.030.040.0402 (Single-Family Attached

14 feet proposed).
Cr\PC2006-0 -1- PC2006-
2. That waiver (a) pertaining to the minimum tot area per dwelling unit is hereby approved
on the basis that the areas which would be dedicated for use as a public park and the proposed public and
private streets prevent the project from meeting the minimum lot area per dwelling unit. The number of
streets are proposed in order to continue the existing street pattern in the area and contributes to the.
reduction to the minimum lot are per dwelling unit. The overall project complies with the densities
established by the Low-Medium Density Residential General Plan designation, including that portion of the
project in the RM-4 zone, which would allow for higher densities.
3. That waiver (b) pertaining to the minimum setback between buildings is hereby
approved on the basis that the requirement is being met along the fronts of adjacent buildings. The
requested waiver applies to the separation of building sides and rears in various locations throughout the
development. The requirement cannot be met due to the required locations of proposed public streets, which
bisect the property, and have impacted the proposed configuration of buildings. The area between buildings
would include landscaping and a window arrangement to protect the privacy or residents.
4. That waiver (c) pertaining to the maximum wall length is hereby approved on the basis
that the intent of the Code is to ensure articulation along building elevations for multiple-family dwellings.
This intent of the Code is fulfilled by use of balconies, patios and decorative architec[ural elements.
Compliance with code for the rear elevations would limit the efficiency of the proposed units and create
articulation in areas that are not readily visible to the public right-of-way.
5. That waiver (d) pertaining to the interior setback for the telecommunications antenna
and associated. utility cabinet is hereby approved due to its location adjacent to a private drive and that
maintaining the required setback would cause the room to encroach within the vehicular accessway. In
addition. the equipment will be located adjacent to a 14-foot high sound wall and deviation will be
imperceptible for the uses to the east.
6. That the waiver (e} pertaining to the required improvement of right-of-way is hereby
approved on the basis that the proposed. streets would connect to and be similar in width to the existing
street grid; therefore, there is no reasonable relationship between the need for the full required dedication
and: the improvements and the traffic impacts associated with the proposed project.
7. That waiver (f) pertaining to the maximum fence height is approved on the basis that
the proposed wall height is consistent with other previously-approved developments and that it would
function as a visual and sound barrier separating the Metrolink rail road and. the proposed residential
buildings.
8. That the proposed relocation of a legal nonconforming ground-mounted
telecommunications antenna is granted in part, approving the relocation of a single carrier monopalm and
denying a three carrier monopine because the monopine facility would be highly visible and the trees
proposed would not be an adequate to provide a backdrop suitable to the facility.
9. That the proposed project is compatible with existing and surrounding land uses and
maintains good overall project design.
10. That the project would not adversely affect. the adjoining land uses and the growth and
development of the area in which it is proposed because the site plan is well designed with adequate
setbacks to the street and within the development.
11: That the size and shape of the site for the proposed use is adequate to allow the full
development of the proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area.
12. That the granting of this conditional use permit under the conditions imposed, would not
be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim.

13. 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 as demonstrated by the
analysis included in the Final Environmental Impact Report No. 330 EIR (Final EIR) and Addendum, the
proposed project actions will not result in new significant impacts or substantial increases in the severity of
previously identified significant impacts;. and, therefore, no supplemental or subsequent environmental
review is required. The Planning Commission hereby determines that the previously-certified Final EIR with
the Addendum and Mitigation Monitoring Plan No. 122, are adequate to serve as the required environmental
documentation for the proposed. project actions in connection with Conditional Use Permit No. 2006-05072.

RE: Olive Street Development: Certification of Affordability
Anaheim Redevelopment Agency ("Agency") staff has been working with
Brookfield Southland Holdings ("Brookfield") to develop a site plan for the
properties located at 610 S. Olive Street (APN 037-130-31) and 711 E. South
Street (APN 037-130-33). The combined sites consist of approximately twenty
(20) acres of land. As proposed, the development will consist ofhigh-quality
residential development with approximately 339 for-sale homes.
Staff is in the process of approving a Disposition and Development Agreement
("DDA") between the Agency and Brookfield. Under the terms of the DDA,
thirty-four (34) of the homes would be required to be affordable and sold to
moderate income households. A Moderate income household means a
household that earns not more than 120% of the Orange County median
income. In addition, the Agency will commit a minimum of 5750,000 in
assistance for income-qualified homebuyers.
Brookfield's obligation under the DDA is to obtain all necessary entitlements.
and construction financing, construct the units, and carry out the mazketing and
sale of the homes. The thirty-four affordable homes must be sold to moderate
income-qualified households (see attached schedule).. Brookfield will also
offer preference to Anaheim residents and persons employed in Anaheim to
qualify for homes prior to a general public release.
If you have any questions, or need additional information, please call me at

APPLICANT'S STATEMENT OF
JUSTIFICATION FOR VARIANCE/CODE WAIVER
Brookfield Homes is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to permit a 339-unit attached
residential planned unit Development under the authority of Section No. 18.06.150.010
with waiver of Anaheim Municipal Code Section 18.06.040.010 (Minimum Lot Area per
Dwelling Unit). The code requires a minimum of 2,400 square feet per unit in the RM-3
zone. In the current project, the minimum required lot area in the RM-3 zone is 470,400
square feet (196 units ` 22,400 square feet per unit). The total lot are currently proposed
in the RM-3 zone is 305,364 square feet. This does not include the public and private
streets or access ways.
Brookfield Homes believes that the zoning classifications of the site present a special
circumstance that does not apply to other property under identical zoning classification in
the area. and that because of the zoning classifications, strict application of the zoning
code would deprive the property of privileges enjoyed by other property under identical
zoning classification. Although the proposal is for one integrated project, the property
has two zoning designations (the RM-3 zone is proposed to the west of Kroeger and
RM-4 to the east). Although the project in its entirety does not meet the development
standards of the more restrictive zone (RM-3), Brookfield Homes contends that the
proposed lot area is acceptable per the General Plan based on the gross area of the site
plan. Based on the gross area of the site, the proposed lot area is consistent with the
General Plan designations for low-medium and medium density residential.

APPLICANT'S STATEMENT OF
JUSTIFICATION FOR VARIANCE(CODE WAIVER
Brookfield Homes is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to permit a 339-unit attached
residential planned unit Development under the authority of Section No. 18.06.150.Ot0
with waiver of Anaheim Municipal Code Section 18.06.090..060 (maximum building wall
length). The code allows a minimum building length of eight (8) feet and a maximum
building length of twenty (20) feet.
It is our understanding that the intent of the code is to ensure articulation along building
elevations, Brookfield Homes is confident that the proposed elevations provide the
articulation that is desired. We feel that a waiver of this code requirement should' be
granted based on the proposed architecture for this project.
For the Row Towns, the longest wall lengths occur at the rear elevations facing the alley
where the wall lengths are approximately 80 feet for the 4plex buildings, 100 feet for the
5-plex buildings, and 120 feet for the 6-plex buildings. For the Court Hcmes, the.
maximum wall length is approximately 156 feet. Ail building walls that are longer than 20
feet and are located along the front and side elevations are well-articulated with entry
and balcony structures.

Brookfield Homes is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to permit a 339-unit attached
residential planned unit Development under the authority of Section No. 18.06.150.010
with waiver of Anaheim Municipal Code Section 18.40.060.020 (Required improvement
of right of way). The proposed street width for this community is 55 feet (a 36-foot
street, 5 foot parkway, and 4.5 foot sidewalk).
Brookfield Homes believes that the location of the site presents a special circumstance
that does not apply to other property under identical zoning classification in the area and
strict application of the zoning code would deprive the property of privileges enjoyed by
other property under identical zoning classification. Although the proposed street
section does not meet the street width, it is consistent with the streets in the surrounding
community. The property is located in the downtown area and is different from other
properties in the vicinity. The actual street width meets the width required by the city
engineer and there are no safety issues that will result from the proposed street width.

with waiver of Anaheim Municipal Code Section 18.46.110.020 (Maximum Wall Height).
The code allows for a maximum wall height of 8 feet. In the current project, the sound
wall adjacent the MetroLink. hacks is proposed at 14 feet.
Brookfield Homes is proposing a 14-foot block wall at the portion of the site adjacent the
Metro Link tracks in order to be consistent with other properties adjacent the tracks and
to provide enhanced sound mitigation for the future residents of this community. Due to
the adjacency of the MetroLink tracks to the site, Brookfield Homes believes that the
waiver for wall height is justified.

THE COMMUNITY
The proposed Downtown community will provide 339 residential homes (176 Court Homes and
163 Row Towns), and a private community recreation center that will feature a pool, fireplace,
and outdoor meeting area. In addition to providing much needed housing for the Downtown area,
the proposed community will transform an existing industrial site into a residential community that
is reminiscent of the ottl Downtown style that the General Plan envisioned.
The primary site feature and heart of the community is the central. recreation area. This area wilt
allow a central gathering area for the community to come together. The site design has several
features that will create a special sense of place and communlty Identity.
• The automobile garages are all set to the rear of the property with porches and entry
doors to view onto street and the central park area.
• The classic grid pattern of the Downtown street network has been reinforced. Melrose,
Kroger, and Atchison will continue through the community.
• The buildings have been configured to create a strong paseo network.
• A public park is located to the north at Water Street.
• The elevations of the buildings present a classic architecture style
The Community Development Department is currently processing a reclassification application for
this site. The reclassification for this site is proposed to make the zoning of this project area in
conformance with the General Plan. The area to the west of Kroger Street has been reclassified
to RM3 and the area to the east of Kroger Street has been reclassified to RM4. The
reclasstrication was approved on January 23, 2006.
CO-OP AGREEMENT & CEQA
The Community Development Department will be executing aco-op agreement for the offsite
improvements. All Improvements Identified under this agreement will be completed under this
agreement. It is also our understanding that the Community Development Department wilt be
completing the CEQA process and the related studies.

STATE DENSITY BONUS
Brookfield Homes will be applying for the State Density Bonus (SB 1818). Per our Disposition
and Development Agreement with the Community Development Department, we will be
designating 10 percent of the units in this community to families of moderate income. According
to the State Density Bonus this would permit us one (1) incentive or concession. Brookfield
Homes is requesting to use the vehicular parking ratio that is provided under the State Density
Bonus. The vehicular parking ratio outlined in the State Density Bonus is one onsite parking
space for 1-bedroom units, two onsite parking spaces for 2- to 3-bedrooms units, and two and.
one-half onsite parking spaces for 4-bedroom units. We have several unit plans that feature a
fourth bedroom option and have provided adequate parking to accommodate onsite parking for all
optional 4-bedroom units. In addition, there is ample parking available on the public streets
(Melrose, Kroger, Olive, and South) that are not included. in the onsite parking counts that can be
used for additional resident parking. We are confident that even with the State Density Bonus
parking standard., this project will provide ample parking for the residents of this community.
If you have any questions regarding this application, please call me at 714-427-6868.
