Item No. 3
(t3) The applicant indicates no operational changes from the prior approval
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS:
(9) Staff has determined that the proposed projectis categorically exempt from the requirement
to prepare further environmental documentation.
EVALUATION:
(10) Temporary modular units are permitted subject to the approval of a'conditional use permit
The ohange from a permanent building to a temporary modular building is tfie'result of
changes in Southern California Edison's requirements to`ensure that during emergency
situations all sfructures can be relocated in a minimal amount of time. Due to the limited
visibility of the structure and distance to the public right-of-way, staff believeslhat the
proposed structure is acceptable given the constraints imposed by Edison. A condition of
approval has been included requiring the building to incorporate architectural
enhancements on the elevations visible to State College Boulevard'and Cerritos Avenue.
(11) The applicant proposes to eliminate the required landscape setbacks adjacent to State
College Boulevard and Cerritos Avenue, Code'requires a landscape setbackof 20 feet
along both streets. The applicant has submitted the attached Justification of Waiver
indicating the irregular shape of the property and the long: frontagealong Cerritos Avenue
results in unique circumstances. Rather than providing permanent landscaping, the
applicant proposes to beautify the property byusing nursery stock in potted plants along
bothstreets behind a proposed 6-foot high wrought iron fence. The applicant'contends that
the cost of construction and irrigation of the landscape setbacks and the loss of storage and
display area would not make the project financially feasible. Staff believes there ere special
circumstances that do not apply to other identically-zoned properties, as the property is'an
irregular triangle shape with a large frontagealong Cerritos Avenue of approximately 900
feek' The required landscapesetbacks would constitute approximately 12%,of the total,
property area (18,300 square feet of total landscaping; 4,000 square feet along State
College Boulevard and .14,300 square feet along Cerritos Avenue):;, However, the strict
'application of the Code would nofdeprive this property of privileges;enjoyed by Neighboring
properties, as similar waiver requests havehot been granted both along Cerritos Avenue
and State College Boulevard. As depicted in the aerialbelow, staff observed that all other
properties in the vicinity have landscaped setbacks of of least 12 feet along both frontages..
Since both findings for justification of this waiver request cannot be made, staff;
recommends denial of the requested waiver of landscape setback.

comply with currehtADA requirements. The applicant proposes'the installation of trees in
the required 5-foot wide parkway`and no'sidewalk dr corner cut=off improvements along
both streets:, because the post of preparation of plans for permits and construction of the
:public improvements would exceed the cost of improving the site. Additionally, the applicant
indicates thaf adjacent properties do not have sidewalks installed.
(13) The attached memo from the Public Works Department anticipates the project's potential
for generating vehicular) pedestrian traffic is substantial compared to the property's current
vacant condition. As a result of activities associated with the City's development and
growth, dedications of right-of-way and improvements are deemed necessary to prevent
congestion and other hazards that are related to the ihtensified use of the land, and to
preserve public health, safety, and welfare:. The applicant's request to change the land use
of the subject property from a vacant parcel to an industrial accessory retail use is ah
intensification that warrants these public improvements. Staff believes there is a
reasonable relationship between the required improvements and the proposed use since
employees and customers are anticipated to be on-site as a direct result of the business.
Further, these employees and customers create additional vehicle and pedestrian activity to

Staff recommends a partial improvement of the public right-of-way with the construction of
the 5-foofparkway ahd 5-foot sidewalRfrom the comer access ramp to the driveway along
Cerritos Avenue'and a 10-fodfwide landscaped parkway in place of a 5-foot parkway and 5-

wilt be maihtained to the entrahce of the sitebn Cerritos Avenue with the sidewalk
improvemehts and relief grahted where pedestrian activity'is limited to the east of the
driveway:' Staff believes the'cost of the required dedication and improvements is
reasonablebonsidering the impact created by the develdpment of the project; Public Works
staff evaluatiohrof theproject based on'estimated trafficand transportatioh' impact fees
indicates that the projected impacYof the development is comparable to the cost of required
improvements. As such, staff recommends denial of the requested waiver along State
College Boulevard and corner cut-off improvements, and partial approval of the requested
waiveralong CerritdsAvenue.

WHEREAS, the applicant has requested an amendment to this conditional use permit to
amend exhibits for a previously approved plant nursery, to permit a temporary modular unit;
CR\PC2007-0 -1- PC2007-
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in the City
of Anaheim on March 5, 2007, 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 fnd and
determine the following facts:
1. That the request to amend exhibits for apreviously-approved nursery, to permit a temporary
modular unit is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by Section 18.60.190:030 of the
Zoning Code with waivers of the following provisions:
(a)SECTION NO. 18.10.060.020.0201 Minimum landscape setback
(?D feet required; 0 feet proposed)
(b)SECTIOM NO. 18.40.060.030 Improvement of right-of-way
Sidewalk and parkways required along
State College Boulevard and Cerritos
Avenue; No sidewalk proposed)
2. That the requested waiver (a) is hereby denied, although the property is an irregular triangle
shape with a large frontage along Cerritos Avenue, the strict application of the Code would not deprive this
property of privileges enjoyed by neighboring properties as similar waiver requests have not been granted
both along Cerritos Avenue and State College Boulevard.
3. That the requested waiver (b) is hereby approved in part; approving the waiver in part to
construct a 10-foot wide parkway but no sidewalk, along Cerritos Avenue east of the driveway along Cerritos
Avenue, because the cost of the full improvement would unreasonably exceed the burden or impact created
by the development project;' and denvina the waiver of improvements along Cerritos Avenue west of the
driveway along Cerritos Avenue, along State College Boulevard and the'corneraccess ramp improvements
since there is a reasonable relationship between the proposed use and the need for the required
improvements. Since the proposed use is an intensification of the vacant property, there is a reasonable
relationship between the need for a portion of the required improvements based upon the existing
improvements in the area; and the project's potential for generating additional vehicular and pedestrian traffic
in relation to the existing vehicular and pedestrian traffic resulting from the property's current vacant state.
4. That accessory retail sales in conjunction with a plant nursery is a proper accessory use for
which a conditional use permit is authorized by the Zoning Code; and
5. That the proposed accessory retail sales in conjunction with a plant nursery would not
adversely affect the adjoining land uses and the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed
to be located since the site is located along State College Boulevard surrounded by industrial uses in an area
typically known as "Tile Mile", where retail sale of the and floor coverings sales are clearly incidental to the
warehousing and/or wholesale distribution is permitted. The wholesale plant nursery with accessory retail
sales would be consistent with; and complement the surrounding land uses in the area; operating in a similar
fashion to existing surrounding land uses; and
6. That the size and shape of the site is adequate to allow full development of accessory retail
sales of plants and pottery to conjunction with a plant nursery in a manner not detrimental to the particular
area nor to the health and safety of the citizens of Anaheim, as the site would provide for the minimum code-
required parking, setbacks, and screening; and
7. That 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 as the
site is located within an industrial area at the intersection of two arterial highways. The proposed use would
_2_ PC2007-
not generate a significant number of trips when compared to surrounding industrial complexes and therefore,
would not create an increased demand on the streets and highways in the vicinity; and
8. That granting this conditional use permit will not, under the conditions imposed, be detrimental"°"
to the particular area and surrounding land uses, nor to the public health and safety as the site would be
substantially improved and would have full vehicle access and on-site parking. As conditioned, the minimum
code requirements for landscaping, setbacks, and parking would be provided on site to ensure the safe and
clean operation of the facility in a manner not detrimental to the area or surrounding land uses: and '
9. 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:. The Planning staff has
determined that the proposed project falls within the definition of Categorical Exemptions, Section 15303,
Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures), as defined in the State CEQA Guidelines and
is, therefore, exempt from the requirement to prepare additional environmental documentation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Anaheim City Planning Commission does
hereby amend Resolution No. 2005-146, adopted in connection with Conditional Use Permit No. 2005-
05030, to approve the applicant's request, to amend exhibits for previously-approved plant nursery, to permit
a temporary modular unit; and

SUBJECT; WAIVER REQUEST IN CONJUNCTION WITH A PROPOSED PLANT NURSERY
CUP2005-05030/ 1500 S. STATE COLLEGE BLVD
The applicant has requested that the sidewalk, parkway street trees, and ADA sidewalk access ramp be
waived along State College Boulevard and Cemtos Avenue. Public Works staff has reviewed the
applicant's request to waive the public right-of--way improvements and recommends the following:
a.) Denial of the waiver7equest to delete the sidewalk and corner access ramp along State College
Boulevazd.
b J Denial of the waiver request. to delete the pazkway street trees along State College Boulevard and
Cerritos Avenue.
c.) Aooroval of the waiver request to delete the sidewalk along Cerritos Avenue for the portion east
of the proposed driveway. Sidewalk is still required along Cerritos Avenue from the comer
access ramp to the driveway.
It is anticipated that the project's potenfial fot` generating vehicular and pedestrian traffic will increase in
relation to the property's current vacant condition. Additionally, neither of the exemptions findings as
stated in the "Discretionary Exemptions" section of the code is applicable to the proposed development.
The relevant code sections and supporting informatien are provided below:
AMC 18.40.060.080.0801 There is no reasonable relationship between the need for the required
dedication and .improvements and the type of development project on which such requirements are
imposed:
o The code anticipates that changes'will occur in the local neighborhoods and the City
generally. As a result of activities associated with the City's development and growth,
dedications ofright-of--way and improvements are deemed necessary to prevent congestion and
other hazards that are related to the intensified use of [he land, and to preserve public health,
safety and welfaze. This statement is consistent with the applicant's request to change the land
use of the subject property from a currently vacant site to a higher intensity commercial use in an
industrial area.
o The development would create traffic and other conditions necessitating the improvement
of the public right-of--way. Employees and customers aze anticipated to be on-site as a direct
result of the operating business. These visitors would create additional vehicle and pedestrian
activity to and from the property and may commute to work via public transportation or walk to
other local paints of destination.
• In an evolving or growing urban area each additional development adds to the traffic
burden. I[ is reasonable and necessary to construct the public improvements since the
chazacteristics of industrial areas have changed over time. Previously, employees would
typically drive to work and [hen leave a[ the end of the day with their vehicles. Previous street
standards in industrial azeas did no[ include provisions for sidewalks. Today, there aze public
transportation routes, restaurants and other service businesses that serve people in the area,.
o Improvements are necessary and would benefit the development. Public transportation is
highly encouraged within the City and County and there is a bus route on State College
Boulevazd that serves this azea. Additionally, a certain percentage of public transportation use is
even taken into account in the development of the City's Planned Roadway Network
(Circulation Element).
• The City has approved requirements and standards to insure uniformity and orderly
development. Public Works Standazd Detail160-A Far public streets in industrial azeas indicate
a parkway and sidewalk. The proposed street improvements would establish conformity with
neighborhood design..
o There are existing sidewalks on both sides of Cerritos Ave just west of State College
Blvd. There are existing sidewalks on the west side State College Blvd north and south
of Cerritos Avenue. No sidewalks currently exist on Cerritos Avenue east of State
College Blvd or on State College Blvd north and south of Cerritos Ave.
o Sidewalk access ramps at the northwest and northeast comers of State College Blvd
and Cerritos Avenue have already been upgraded to be incompliance with City and
ADA standazds, i.e. constmcted with truncated domes.
AMC 18.40.060.OB0.0802 The cost of the required dedication and improvements unreasonably exceeds
the burden or impact created by the development project.
o Citywide Traffic and Transportation Impact and Improvement Fees were developed based on
actual construction costs to widen a public street and then apportioned to the different land uses
and anticipated traffic impacts created, ie. single family, apartment, general office, retail,
industrial, church, etc. The City Council then reduced by 68% the actual cost for purposes of
establishing the impact fee.
• The proposed 408 SF modular trailer will be calculated as retaIl space For purposes of Traffic
Impact Fee determination. The two proposed outdoor sales display azeas (32,007 SF and 36,897
SF) will be calculated as industrial space for fee purposes since the traffic generation counts
associated with the sales display land use are more similar to an industrial use rather than a
higher intensity retail use. Public Works staff used the City Council approved traffic impact fees
and then calculated the 100% value of the traffic impacts associated with the development
request.
o Based on estimates prepazed by Public Works staff, the cost for the required comer access ramp,
sidewalk along State College Blvd, sidewalk along Cerritos Ave from the access ramp to the
driveway and pazkway street trees. along State College Blvd. and Cerritos Ave do not
unreasonably exceed the burden or impact created by the development project.

Attachment -Item No. 3
RE: Project CUP2005-05030
We would like to request the City to consider a waiver of the required 20-foot wide
landscape setbacks along State College Boulevazd and Cerritos Avenue and waivers of
the required public improvements along State College Boulevazd and Cerritos Avenue.
The reason we would like the waivers aze the following:
1. After the required 5-foot wide sidewalk and 5-foot wide landscaped pazkway as
required by the Public Works Department, our site remains only 1.6 acres. We
have a triangulazly-shaped site, resulting in an extremely long frontage along
Cerritos Avenue, greater than most of useable land; the State College side has a
length of 190-feet and Cerritos side is 800-feet, with a total of approximately
1,000 square feet of landscaped frontage. The requirements of the landscaped
pazkway and the 20-foot wide landscape setbacks along both frontages would
require approximately 25,000 squaze feet of landscaping; this is more than half an
acre of useable space for the business.
2. There aze 2 Southern California Edison electrical transmission towers on the site
that further constrains the useable azea on the property and additional height
requirement of plants. The lattice towers reduce the useable azea by
approximately 6,000 squaze feet. In addition, the sharp point of the triangulaz
shape of the site further constrains the use of the property. Overall, the total loss
from the SCE towers, landscape setbacks and the in•egulaz shape of the property
creates an approximately 1-acre loss of useable display, storage, and retail azea.
The landscape setback requirement dramatically reduces our business space, such
a big space loss will affect our revenue and will also reduce the City's revenue
from us.
Plants make our environment beautiful and healthier. I believe this is the reason
why the City requires a 20-foot wide landscape setback. In any. city, there aze
99% of development projects aze residential buildings or commercial buildings.
A 20-foot landscape setback is reasonable for the building because it adds
geenery to the pazking lot and building, beautiful for the building and healthier
for the environment. However, for a nursery business, our inventory and products
aze plants, our products itself are good for the environment. If we would like to
be successful, the nursery would have to make its layout beautiful. The 20-foot
landscape setback is not only a big reduction of space for us to do business, but
also dries our money out and can't do this business anymore...if our plants
inventory instead of 20-foot landscape setback, it would be same to the
environment and it would be the same or even more beauty for the city street. In
the meantime, save the money for us to buy more inventory and make more
business to pay more to the City.
4. I have a wholesale pottery business in another City, and most of our customers .are
nurseries. I visited azound 400 nurseries in California, Arizona, and Nevada, and
there does not exist any nurseries with a 20-foot wide landscape setback. I
understand that this is a new Code and the City of Anaheim cannot be compared
with other city standards. However, this Code is not as applicable to a nursery
use as it is for a commercial or residential use.
5. I understand that the City does not take into account financial costs for~approving
a waiver. But for a big building development, involving millions of dollazs,
$200,000 on landscaping is a very small amount for the overall project. However,
our budget is $200,000 and the required landscape setbacks would cost
approximately $4-6 per squaze foot, which would cost us approximately $100,000
to comply with the landscape setbacks.
6. The City always likes to ask that if we waive the 20-foot setback for you, what
would happen if we close the business or sell? My answer for that is: we have a
conditional use permit for only a nursery use, if we were to sell our business, the
new owner would have to function in the same way. If the new business is not
related to the sales of plants and trees then the City can requires a 20-foot
landscape setback for the redevelopment of the property in the future.
7. We are a small investor, but we chose to develop a property difficult to use for
other businesses. If the requirement to improve the publicright-of--way for the
comer cut-off, sidewalks, and pazkways on both State College Boulevazd and
Cerritos Avenue, we would have to invest a majority of our funds to improving
the public azea rather than improving our property. The reality is that we aze a
wholesale business, not primarily geared towazd general public sales and
pedestrians. We believe that the addition of sidewalks and a comer cut-off is
unnecessary since pedestrian use would be limited and the sidewalk would lead
directly to properties without sidewalks. Therefore, if a sidewalk was provided it
would end and create an inconvenience for the pedestrian.
The difficulty for providing the public improvements is our lease terms is only for
5 yeazs. If the business does not work or in 5 years somebody outbids us for the
use of the property the public improvements would have been a waste of our
money. We aze willing to provide the land for landscaping and if the City would
like to add sidewalks in the future that would be fine but the financial expense and
risk is a lazge burden that is being placed onus as small business owners.
Please consider all the reasons listed above and waive our 20-foot wide landscape
setback along Cemtos Avenue and State College Boulevazd and public improvements
as required by the Public Works Department.

IMPROVEMENT COMPANY TO SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY,
RECORDED JUNE 27, 1889 IN BOOK 570, PAGE 288, OF DEEDS, IN THE OFFICE OF
THE COUNTY RECORDER OF THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES.
WHEREAS, the Planhlhg Commission did tiold a public hearing at the Civic Center in the
City of Anaheim on October 3, 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
18.66.040.030, 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 ddnsideratidn of all evidence and reports offered at said hearing, does find
and determine the following facts:
1. That accessory retail sales in conjunction with a plant nursery is a proper accessory use for
which a conditional use permit is authorized by the Zoning Code; and
2. That the proposed accessory retail sales in conjunction with a plant nursery would not
adversely affect the adjoining land uses and the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed
to be located since the site is located along State College Boulevard surrounded by Industrial uses in an area
typically known as'Tile Mile", where retail sale of the and floor coverings sales are clearlyincidental to the
warehousing and/or wholesale distributoh is permitted. The wholesale plant nursery with accessory retail
sales would be consistent with, and cdmplement tfie surrouhding land uses in the area, operating in,a similar
fashion to existing surrounding land uses; and
3. That the size and shape of the site is adequate to allow full development of accessory retail
sales of plants and pottery in conjunction with a plant nursery in a manner not detrimental to the particular
area nor to the health and safety df the citizens of Anaheim, as the site would provide for the minimum code-
required parking, setbacks, and screening; and
4: That the traffic generated by the proposed use w(II not, under the cbnditidns imposed,
impose ah'uhdue burden upon the streets and highways designed and improved tc carry the iraffic in the
area as the site is located within an .industrial area at the intersection of two arterial highways. The proposed
use would not generate a significant number of trips when compared to surrounding indusVial complexes
and therefore, would not create an increased demand on the streets and highways in thebicinity; and
5. That granting this oonditiohal use permit wilt not, under the conditions (mposed, be
detrimental to the particular area and surrounding land uses, nor to the public health and safety as the site
Cr\PC2005-146 -i- PC2005-146
would be substantially improved and would have full vehicle access and on-site parking. As conditioned, the
minimum code requirements for landscaping, setbacks, and parking would be provided on site to ensure the - --
safe and clean operation of the facility in a manner not detrimental to the area or surrounding land uses: and
6. Thatho one indicated their presence at said public hearing in opposition; and that no
correspondence was received in opposition to the subject petition.

Item No. 4
EVALUATION:
(15) An outdoor storage yard with the accessory maintenance of vehicles and equipment is
permitted in this area of the Specific Plan; subject to the approval of a conditional "use
permit.
(16) The applicant proposes to provide less parking than the Code requires. Code requires a
mihimum of 39 parking'spaces for the facility. Plans indicate 26' parking spacesprovided.
A parking study dated February 16, 2007, was conducted by the City's parking and traffic
consultant which determined thafthe proposed parking ahd circulation would tie adequate
because not all employees park their vehicles on the site at tfie same time; Parking counts
at the applicant's current facility in the City of Orange demonstrate that 26 parking spaces.
are adequate: Based upon theconsultaht's analysis and recommendation; staff
recommends approval cf this waiver.
(17} The applicant also requests a waiver regarding fencing adjacent to a residential use: Code
requires an 8-foot high`block wall'adjacent to a residential use.' Plans intlicate that the
existing 6-foot high cFiaih link fence would remain adjacent to anon-conforming single
family residence to the west. The existing single family residence located. adjacent to this
property is used as a'caretakers unit for the industrial use oh that site. Since that residence
currently abuts an industrial use without protection; separation with a block wall oh this site:
is not necessary. A waiverdf this fehcing`requirement has also been approved in the past
for this property: Staff recommends approval of this request because'this property has
unique surroundings in that the abutting residential use that requires the screening is a
caretaker's unit for another industrial use:
(18) Section 18.38.200 pertaining to outdoor storage includes the following stipulations::
.010 Screening. The storage area shall be surrounded on all sides by a substantiaF
solid and opaque fence or wall at least six (6) feet in height as set forth in Section

The proposed outdoor storage`would be'screened on all sides by a 6-foot
high chain link fence with slats and from the street by an 8-foot block wall

included in the'attached resolution.
.060 Height of Storage. All outdoor storage shall be below the height of the enclosing
fence or wall
The proposed materials that would be stored on this property would not
exceed the height of the fencing. How do we know?' Is there a condition?
.070 Vehicles. All vehicles shall be parked or stored in an orderly manner.
The plans depict the location of the service vehicle parking.
.080 Liquids. All gasoline, oil or other liquids shall be drained and removed from any
unregistered vehicle located ih the storage area.
All service vehicles that would be stored'at this location would be
registered. How do we know?' Do we have a condition?`OFdo we just rely
on the code to enforce this provision?
.090. Salvage Yard. No storage shall take place in such a fashion that iC constitutes a
junkyard or saluage yard unless a junkyard or salvage yard hasbeen approved
as a use on the parce(.
This'request for outdoor storage is exclusively for. the interim storage of
boring equipment and service vehicles: ` No junkyard or salvage operations
would be conducted on the property.
.100: Vacant Parcels. No storage shall occur on any vacant parcel except as maybe
permitted by condftional use permit for putdoor storage yards.
The plans indicate thattwo building are proposed on the subject parcel
(19) The proposed outdoor storage yard for a drilling contractor is compatible with the
neighboring industrial uses. The proposed new buildings and landscaping comply with code
and are an,improvement to the existing,condition of the site. The parkingstudy indicates
that adequate parking will be provided on-site. The facility will be screened from public
view along Coronado Street. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the request, subject
- to the recommended conditions of approval:.:.
FINDINGS:
(20) When practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships. result from strict enforcement of the
Zoning Code, a modification may be granted for the purpose of assuring that no property,
because of special circumstances applicable to it,shall be deprived of privileges commonly
enjoyed by other properties in the same vicinity and zone. The sole purpose of any:
variance is to prevent discrimination and none shall be approved which would have the
Page 5
Staff Report to the
Planning Commission
March 5, 2007
Item No. 4
effect of granting a specia(privilege not shared by other similar properties: Therefore,.
before any variance is granted by the Commission, it shall be shown:
(a) That there are special circumstances applicable to the property such`as size,'shape,
topography, location or surroundings, which do not apply tobther identically zgned
properties in the vicinity; and
(b) That strict application of the Zoning Code deprives the property of privileges enjoyed
by other properties in identical zoning classification in the vicinity:
(21) Section 18.42.110 of the parking code sets forth the following findings which are required to
be'made before a parking waiver is approved by the Planning Commission:
(a); That the waiver; under the conditions imposed, if any, will not cause fewer off-street.
parking spaces to be provided for such use than the. number of such spaces
necessary to accommodate all vehicles attributable to such use under the normal and
reasonable foreseeable conditionsbf operation of such use:
(b) That the waiver, under the conditions,imposed, if any, will not increase the demand
and competition for parking spaces upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of
the proposed use.
(c) That the waiver, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not increase the demand for
parking spaces upon adjacent private property in the immediate vicinity of the
proposed use.
(d); That the waiver,.under the conditionsimposed, will not increase traffic congestion
within the off-street parking areas or lots provided for such ase.
(e) That the waiver, under the conditions imposed, will not impede vehicular ingress to or
egress from adjacent properties upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of the
proposed use.
Unless conditions to the contrary are expressly imposed upon the granting of any waiver::.
pursuant to this section; the granting of the waiver shall be deemed contingent upon
operation of the proposed use in conformance with the assumptions relating to the operation
and intensity of the use as contained in the Parking Demand Study that formed the basis for
approval of tfie waiver. Exceeding, violating,' intensifying or otherwise deviating from any of
the assumptions as`contained'ih the Parking Demand Study shall tie deemed a violation of
the express conditions imposed upon the waiver, which shall subject the waiver to
revocation or modification pursuant to the provisionsbf Section 18.60.200 (City-Initiated
Revocatioh'or Modification of Permits).
' (22) Before the Planning Commission grants any conditional use permit, it must make a finding:
of fact thaf tfie evidence presented shows that altof the following conditions exist:
(a) That the proposed use is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized
by the Zoning Code., or is an unlisted use as defined in Subsection .030 (Unlisted Uses
Permitted) of Section 18.66.040 (Approval Authority);
(b) 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 beiocated;

A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM PLANNING COMMISSION
THAT PETITION FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2006-05137 BE GRANTED
(3040 EAST CORONADO STREET)
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:
LOT 133 OF THE "EUCALYPTUS FOREST TRACT: IN THE CITY OF ANAHEIM, COUNTY.
OF ORANGE, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AS PER MAP RECORDED IN BOOK 5, PAGES 29
AND 30, MISCELLANEOUS MAPS, IN THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY RECORDER OF
SAID COUNTY.
EXCCEPTING THEREFROM THE W ESTERLY 3 FEET THEREOF
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in the
City of Anaheim on March 5, 2007, 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 proposed request to permit an outdoor storage yard for a drilling contractor
including accessory repair is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by Anaheim
Municipal Code Section Nos. 18.38.200 and 18.120.050:0135 with the following waivers:.
(a) SECTION NO. 18.42.040.010
(bZ SECTION NO. 18.46.110.020
Minimum number of parking spaces
l39 spaces required; 27 spaces proposed)
Reduired fencing abutting a residential use
8-foot high block wall required adjacent to a
residential use; 6-foot high chain link fence
existing.
2: That the above-mentioned waiver (a), under the conditions imposed 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 the proposal under the normal and. reasonably foreseeable
operation of such use as the parking study determined that the size of the building at this site is not a good
indicator of the number of employees since they work in the field. In addition, not all of the employees are on
the site at the same time. The parking study surveyed the existing facility in the City of Orange with the
same number of employees and determined that the proposed spaces are adequate.
3. That the parking waiver, under the conditions imposed, will not increase the demand and
competition for parking spaces upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of the proposal since
adequate on site parking is being provided.
4. That the waiver, will not increase the demand and competition for parking spaces upon
adjacent private property in the immediate vicinity of the proposed use since parking is contained within the
property boundaries of the site.
Cr\PC2007-0 -1- PC2007-
5. That the waiver, will not increase traffic congestion within the off-street parking areas or lots
provided for the proposed uses because the project is designed to anticipate the peak demand for the use.
6. That the waiver, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not impede vehicular ingress to or
egress from adjacent properties upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of the proposed use
because the driveways and parking areas for the adjacent properties are self-contained and separate from
the proposed project.
7: That the above-mentioned waiver (b) is hereby approved based upon the finding that this
property has unique surroundings because although there is an existing single family residence located
adjacent to this property, the house is used as a caretakers unit for the industrial use on the adjacent
property. Ih addition, the same waiver has been granted under a prior entitlement for this site: The intent of
the code is to protect a residential use and all surrounding properties are developed with industrial uses.
Surrounding properties all have 6 foot high chain link fencing and denying the waiver would deprive this
property of privileges enjoyed by surrounding properties.
8. That the use does 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 surrounding land uses are developed
with similar industrial land uses;
9: 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.
10. 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
Commission has reviewed the proposal; and does hereby approve the Negative Declaration upon finding
that the declaration reflects the independent judgment of the lead agency and that it has considered the
Negative Declaration together with any comments received during the public review process and further
finding on the basis of the initial study and any comments received that there is no substantial evidence that
the:project will have a significant effect on the environment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Anaheim Planning Commission does
hereby grant subject Petition for Conditional Use Permit, upon the following conditions which are hereby
found to be a necessary prerequisite to the proposed use of the subject property in order to preserve the
health and safety of the Citizens of the City of Anaheim:
1. That the gates on-site shall be open and unlocked during business hours during the loading/unloading
of product delivery vehicles and securely locked after business hours. The gate and perimeter fencing
for the impound area shall comply with the requirements of Chapter 18.38 of the zoning code
pertaining to screening of outdoor uses.

1. introduction
The purpose of this parking study is to evaluate the parking demand for the proposed relocatiori
of the corporate headquarters and equipment storage of California Boring in the City of Orange,
to a new site in Anaheim. California Boring specializes in high-tech drilling and proposes to
remodel an existing office on the project into the Corporate Office and employee dispatch
center. The equipment used will be stored on the site overnight and then taken offsite during the
day. Employees will .park their cars in the lot while offsite.
2. Project Location
California Boring is currently located at 770 N. Eckhoff Street in Orange. The proposed site is
3040 E. Coronado Street in Anaheim.
3. Site Description
A. Existing Site
The existing site is located along the Santa Ana River, just west of N. Eckhoff St. and south of
the railroad tracks. It is .accessed from a drive aisle with a street sign indicating California
Boring.
The current site has approximately 10 marked spaces and a large open paved area that
accommodates large, heavy equipment. There are 35 pieces of equipment that depart from the
site around 5:00 am and return at 5:00 pm. The parking is used by employees who drive to the
location and then depart with the boring equipment. Most pieces of equipment carry one or two
employees to the job site. There is a lockable gate restricting access into the parking lot. All
parking is onsite.
B. Proposed Site
California Boring is proposing relocating the Corporate Office and storage facilities to an existing
storage location along E. Coronado Street, just west of N. Kraemer Place. See Figure 3.1 on
Page 2 for the proposed site .plan. This site currently has an existing building, gravel driveway,
and gated, paved parking lot. The neighborhood appeared to be primarily industrial, with a
sports bar and some residential uses.
The Corporate Office and employee dispatch center will have between three and five
employees who work weekdays 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. There are between 30 and 40 equipment
operators who will park personal vehicles onsite and depart with the boring equipment; carpool
to the office to take equipment; take vehicles home and drive directly to the jobsite the next day;
or meet directly at the jobsite and never go to the office. Heavy repair of equipment will be
conducted offsite; however the site will include a 1,000 gallon above ground diesel storage tank
and two ramped repair bays for some overnight vehicle repair.
The proposed site plan will retain the site's configuration, but provide a 34 foot wide paved
driveway and 26 marked parking spaces. Eight parking spaces will be outside of the gates.
Nine of the parking spaces will be 66' long to accommodate trucks with trailers and large
equipment.

4. Parking Requirements per the flflunicipal Code
The Municipal Code requires 4 spaces/TSF for office uses, 1.55 spaces/TSF for warehouse ahd
industrial uses, and 3.5 spaces/TSF for vehicle repair. The proposed site would have a parking
requirement of 39 parking stalls. The proposed site provides 17 vehicle parking stalls and 9
extra-long truck parking stalls (66'), which total 26 spaces. The site is short 13 spaces from the
code-required parking.

5. Site Parking Counts
Southland Car Counters took parking counts on two days, Tuesday ahd Thursday, February 6th
and 8th, 2007.
6. Methodology
The size of the buildings at this site is not a good indicator of the number of employees, since
they work in the field, and the equipment is stored outside. This parking study is done to
determine the parking demand of the existing site. The parking demand for the new site will be
identical to this site, as the move to Anaheim does not consist of an increase in the numberbf
employees or an increase in equipment.
7. Analysis
The maximum number of cars, trucks and equipment observed parked was 19 at 4:00 on
Tuesday. The site has 26 parking stalls including 9 that are extra-long. This site will be able to
accommodate the observed parking demand. The parking demand at this site is far less than
the code because some employees carpool, some take company vehicles home, and some
meet directly at the jobsite and do not come in to the office.
8. Conclusions
The site plan shows that there are S parking spaces outside of the gates and 9 spaces inside
the gates, with 9 extra-long parking spaces (66') for large trucks and equipment and two
additional spaces that ramp down near the shop building for overnight repairs. The 17 vehicle
parking spaces will accommodate the 13 employee and visitor vehicles, and the 9 extra-long
stalls and the ramped area will accommodate all of the work trucks, other vehicles, and
equipment.
a iq ssociales, nc. 9 California Boring
9. Recommendations
The proposed site is long and narrow, which is a different configuration from the current site. At -
the current site, trucks have a large open space in which to bring in the large trucks and trailers
and maneuver around. It is suggested that backing trucks out onto the street be discouraged.
At the proposed site, it is imperative that the drive aisle be kept clear of equipment, so that
trucks are able to enter, unload equipment and park. Also, this aisle should be kept clear to
allow emergency vehicle access. The two diesel tanks are located in the front of the site, within
100 feet of the street, so they are easily accessed.
10. Findings
Finding Numbei .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 of such use.
California Boring will be able to provide adequate parking onsite for its uses.
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.
California Boring will provide adequate parking onsite for its uses. Curbside parking will
not be needed.
Finding Number .0103 That the variance, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not
increase the demand and competition for parking spaces upon adjacent private property in the
immediate vicinity of the proposed use (which property is not expressly provided as parking for
such use under an agreement in compliance with subsection 18.42.050.030 (Non-Residential
Uses- Exception).
California :Boring will provide adequate parking onsite. Overflow parking willnot 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-street parking areas or lots provided for the proposed
use.
California Boring will provide sufficient parking onsite for its uses.
Finding Number .0105 That the variance, under the conditions imposed, if any, wilt not
impede vehicular ingress to or egress from adjacent properties upon the public streets in the
immediate vicinity of the proposed use.
California Boring will provide sufficient parking that will ensure that employee's vehicles
will not block ingress/egress between adjacent properties and the public streets.

Item No. 5
convenience or necessity is required from the City of Anaheim by the Department, of
Alcoholic Beverage. Control (ABC).
(11 } The Anaheim Police Department has submitted the attached memorandum dated February
14, 2007, stating that this property is located within Reporting District 1617, which has a
crime rate of 100 percent above the average. This reporting district is depicted in the
attached map. The population within the census tract allows for 4 off-sale licenses, and
there are presently 5 active licenses. Based on the high crime rate and over concentration
of licenses; the Police Department is not recommending approval of thisrequest.
Conditions of approvalYecommended by the Police Department have been incorporated
into the draft resolution if the request isapproved:
(12) Community Preservation records indicate there are no open code violations for this
property: During a,site inspection, staffbbserved deferred maintenance issues and will be
working with"the property owner end operator to resolve these concerns.
(13) The Planning Commission has established a policy to determine whether a determination
ofpublic convenience: or necessity is appropriate. The following' is the list of factors to
consider when evaluating a request:
(a) How significant is the "undue concentration"? In census tracts with a few
'excess licenses, it may be easier to justify the need for additional licenses. when
considering: other factors. However, in areas with a sfgnificant number of excess licenses,
fhe City should carefully examine, based on submitted evidence and the whole record,
whether it would be appropriate to make the requested finding.
The number of licenses in this census tracf exceeds what is allowed by one. Of the
existing 5 licenses within the census tract„the subject location is the only one that is
restricted to sale of beer and wine.
(b) How close is the proposed site to a residential neighborhood and/or
school? If the ite is in close proximity to a residential neighborhood or school, then the
decision on whether td make the finding of PCN should give weight to these sensitive land
uses.
There are no schools withinclose proximity to the subject site; however, there is a
residential condominium development located to the rear of the commercial center and the
Valencia Inn, a motel is across the street.
(c) How close are otheralcohol outlets? Are outlets in close proximity or are they
spread throughout the census tract? If the outlet. is located near the border of the census
tract, is there a cluster of outlets in the vicinity of the outlet)ocated in fhe adjoining census
tracts? In some areas there are a large number of businesses providing alcohol in close
proximity. As a result, the impact is greater than if the same number of businesses were
spread throughout the census tract: In these instances, ft may 6e difficult to make the
finding.
There are no stores immediately adjacent to the liquor store which sells alcoholic
beverages: The closest store that sells alcofidlic beverages would be Stagecoach Liquor
located at 2701 W Lincoln Avenue, 670 feet west of the subject site:

Staff Report to the
Planning Commission
March 5, 2007
Item No. 5
(d) Are there similar businesses already in the area? Is this the first business of
this type orare there several similar businesses nearby? If the product is already available,
then it wouldbe harder to justify the public need.
There are four licenseslocated on the same street as the subject location with the first
business located less than a block away. The subject business alreadysells beer and
wine, so this would tie only an upgrade in license type.
(e) is the sale of alcohol an integral part of the primary purpose of the
business? A "dinner house" wbuld normallysell alcohol; however, a gas station of
breakfast cafe would not:
The sale of alcohol is anticipated to generate 55 percenfof the gross sales for the liquor
store. The floor plan and operation is indicative of a retail store, but because the products
sold are discounted retail items, the alcoholic beverage sales exceed fifty percent of the
gross sales. -
(fj Isthere a history of alcohol-related problems in the areal Determination of
PCN in'reporting districts that have a much higher than average crime rate'will be more
difficult to justify. Likewise even if the proposed location is in a census tract that does not
>' have a higher than average crime rate; it maybe adjacent to one or more: reporting disficts
that have a higher than average crime rate.
There has only: been one call for service within the last year for thisbusiness: The Police
Department recommendsdenial'of this request because of the'overal(higfi crime rate in
the area, and over concentration of licenses: The cldse proximity to the Valencia Inn
across the street, whicft hosts a high transient populatioh;`is also of conceml Within the last
3years, there ftave$een 20 calls fpr service that were alcohol related of the Valencia Inn:
The concern arises that if the applicantis approved for hard liquor beverage sales that the
Policebepartmeht's calls for service may increase.
(g) Arethere unusual factors which are applicable to a Particular location?
The establishment may cater to a specific customer such asspeciaky markets or
<' warahouse stores: In these Instances; the Planning' Commissibn may determine that the
`unusual factors are sufficient to'determine public convenience or necessity. ,c
The'availability of alcoholic beverages within this liquorstore is unique because it will not
be advertised to the general public from the store"as conditioned: The name of the store,
"'98 CenCPlus Discpunt Store,' does :not indicate that this would be a liquor store but merely
a retail store:
(h) Is the proposed site7n an area which has both an over concentratiosof
licenses and a higher than average crime rate? In such instances, it maybe more
difficult to make the finding.
Yes. The site in ah area of above average crime (100 percent above average), and there
is an over concentration in the number of licenses within the census tract (four are allowed
with five existing): Of those permitted licenses, there are four that already sell hard liquor
and this requesfwbuld be the fifth:

Item No. 5
(i) Would a particular establishment have mitigating operational
characteristics such as increased security, limited hours of operation ortiulk sales
anti/or temperatures not conducive to on-site consumption?
The proposed conditions of approval would both limit the advertising of the alcoholic
beverages to the general public, and require:monitoring by the'operatortd ensure the
alcoholic beverages are not consumed on the premises: There is a security camera that is
.already in use at the location and the hours of operation would be limited:

store and retail shop through approval of a conditional use permit: She intent of the code is
to provide such sales as a convenience for customers if there are no stores immediately.
adjacent to the site which sell hard liquor.
(15) Although this store is in an area of high crime and over concentration in licenses, this
business already has a license to sell beer and wine, and approval of this application would
not ihcrease the number of licenses within the tract. The operation is not a typical liquor
store dr convenience market tiecause iYoffers the convenience of alcohol sales to its
customers within a large retaiFstore: Police.Department records indicate that there has
only been one call for service at this locatidn, and there have been no Community
Preservation complaints filed against this property over the last year. The availability of
alcohol would not be advertised as conditioned; and beer and wine could nb longer be sold
in singles. Currently, these types bfcohditionsare not a part of the entitlement. To ensure
that the alcofiot sales are not Intensified, staff recommends thatThe display of alcohol be
limited to the existing square footage: as odnditioned.
(16) The previous conditional use permit allowing the beer and wine sales limited the hours of
bperatibh to Monday through Saturday from 8:00 a'mi to 10:00 p.m. and Saturdays from
S:OO am: to 8:00 p.m sd the business has not beeh in compliance with this condition of
approval. The applicant is requesting to extend the hours of operation tb $:OO a.m. to
11 p.m., seven days a week. Police Department staff oppose the extended hours of
operation until 11 p.m: tiecause this' property abuts a condomihium residential development
to the northC In addition, the recommended conditions of approval include a limitation on
the alcotiotsales of thirty-five (35) percent of the grass sales:: The store has already been
operating with these extended' hours of operation and the current level of alcohol sales is
fifty-five (55) percent of the gross sales. Since the business has been operating without
complaints to the Police Departmenfor Community Preservation Division,.. Planning staff.
recommends the hours of operation requested`by the applicant and a limitation of the
alcohpl ales at 55 percent; This would limit the operator to the same level of alcohol sales
as is currently existing with sales limited to beer and wine.
FINDINGS:
(17) Before the Planning Commission grants any major modification to a conditional use permit,
they must make a finding of fact that the evidence presented shows that all of the following
conditions exist:
(a) That the proposed use is properly one for which a conditional use permit is
authorized by the Zoning Code, or that said use. is notlisted therein: as being a
permitted use;

patrons.
2. That California state law requires a Determination of Public Convenience or Necessity when
property is located in a police reporting district with a crime rate above the city average; and that Section
23958 of the Business and Professions Code provides that the ABC shall deny an application for a license if
issuance of that license would tend to create a law enforcement problem or if issuance would result in, or
add to, an undue concentration of licenses, except when an applicant has demonstrated that public
convenience or necessity would be served by issuance of a license,
3. That Resolution No. 95R-134 authorizes the City of Anaheim Police Department td make
recommendations related to the public convenience or necessity determinations; and when the sale alcoholic
beverages for off-premises consumption is permitted by the Municipal Code, said recommendations shall
take the form of conditions of approval to be imposed on the determination in order to ensure that the sale of
alcoholic beverages does not adversely affect any adjoining land use or the growth and development of the

approved will not have a negative impact on the surrounding area;
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 tb the particular area nor to the health and
safety as the liquor store would comply with all provisions of the Zoning Code and would not require any
waivers for development; and
12. That the traffic generated by the use would not impose an undue burden upon the streets and
highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area; and
13. That the granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed will not be

The Reporting District north of the location is 1517; it has a crime rate of
42 percent below average. The Reporting District east is 1618; it has a
crime rate of 18 percent above average. West is 1616; with a rate of 13
percent above average, and south of the location is 1717; with a crime
rate of 131 percent above average.
The Police Department opposes the upgrade in License Type. This
convenience store is in a high crime and over concentrated area. There
are 4 other Off Sale Licenses in the Census Tract and they are all full
alcohol. We do not believe there is a need or necessity for another in
this tract. This location is also directly across from the Valencia Inn
which hosts a high transient population. We feel this would negatively
impact the surrounding area and the health and safety of the
neighborhood. If this CUP is approved the Police Department requests
that the following conditions apply:
1) There shall be no exterior advertising or sign of any kind or
type, including advertising directed to the exterior from
within, promoting or indicating the availability of alcoholic
beverages. Interior displays of alcoholic beverages or signs
which are clearly visible to the exterior shall constitute a
violation of this condition.
2) No display of alcoholic beverages shall be located outside of a
building or within five (5) feet of any public entrance to the
building..
3) The area of alcoholic beverage displays shall not exceed 25% of
the total display area in a building.
4) Sale of alcoholic beverages shall be made to customers only
when the customer is in the building.
5) No person under twenty-one (21) years of age shall sell or be
permitted to sell any alcohol.
6) That beer and malt beverages shall not be sold in packages
containing less than a six (6) pack, and that wine coolers
shall not be sold in packages containing less than a four (4)
pack.
7) The possession of alcoholic beverages in open containers and the
consumption of alcoholic beverages are prohibited on or around
these premises.

JUSTIFICATION FOR VARIANCE'
QUESTION I
My property is located on an estate size lot in the Peralta Hills neighborhood.
Many of the properties in this azea have similar block wall fences that greatly
improve the aesthetic value of their home. I placed my wall in a location on my
property that best conforms with the curvature of the street (cul-de-sac), my
adjoining neighbors wall, and the azchitectural flow of my house.. As the photos
provided show, the wall was placed in the most natural place to put a wall for
the purpose of enclosing,my backyard.
QUESTION 3
As stated eazlier my house is located in an azea of customized homes.
Consequently, the owners isthis area are diligent about having. all aspects of
their property aesthetically conform.- It should be no#ed thatthe majority of
my wall does in fact comply with the 20 foot setback requirement. However,
" 'there is a small portion at the end of the wall tha4 does not and Lam thus
requesting a waiver of the setback requirements for this portion of the wall.
This Variance will allow my wall to have conformity and the aesthetic appeal
that is maintained by the other houses in this neighborhood.

Item No. 7
of this requirement.: (Variance No 4394 to establish a 7-lot single family subdivision for
property located at 104 Canyon Ctest Drive was approved for minimum bt depth adjacent to
Santa Ana Canyon on April 24, 2000 by the Planning Commission:) Staff is supportive of.this
waiver because the applicant has demonstrated that strict application of the code deprives
the property of a right granted to other properties with the same zone in the vicinity. The site
is unique in shape and topography Which Limits its ability to complyWitfi this node
requirement. '
(15) This proposal includes the removalbf ten (10)specimen trees. Ttte Scenic Corridor Overlay
zone defines Oak, Pepper, and Eucalyptus trees as specimen trees. The overlay zone
permits the removal of specimen trees when the Planning Commission determines that
certain findings can be met. The landscape plans indicate the removal of 10 specimen trees
throughout ttie site. The removal of the trees is necessary for grading of the property and the.
construction of the proposed residences. The tree replacement plan indicates that forty-eight
(48), 24-inch tiox specimen and approved trees are proposed (Code requires forty-four (44)
' trees). Because reasonable and practical developmentof the property requires destruction
of the trees and the applicant has'p~ovided four more replacementtrees than required by
code, staff recbmmends'approval of the tree removal`permit.
(16) Staff believes the proposed projectis compatible with surrounding and uses and the project
is designed toprovide adequate setbacks to protect resitlentswithih'and around the project
in a manner that complies with the intentof the underlying zone and permitted density under
the General Plan: Therefore; staff recommends. approval of this request.
FINDINGS:
(17) When practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships result from strict enforcement of the
Zoning Code, a modification may be granted for the purpose of assuring that no property,
tiecause of special circumstances: applicable to it, shall be deprived of privileges: commonly
enjoyed byother properties in the same vicinity and zone. The sole purposeof any variance
is to prevent discrimination and none shall be approved Which would have the effect of
granting a special privilege not shared byother similar properties:. Therefore, before any
variance is granted by the Commission, it shall be shown:
(a) That there are special circumstances applicable to the propertysuch assize,
shape, topography, location or surroundings; which do not apply toother
identically Toned properties in the vicinity; .and
(b) That strict application of the Zoning Code deprives the property of privileges
enjoyed by other properties in identical zoning classification in the vicinity.- '
