DISCUSSION:
(6) The applicant requests a modification to the site plan to eliminate the landscape setbacks
along both frontages; retluce the level of public improvement within the right-of-way and use
a modular structure instead of a permanent building. These modifications result in two (2)
new waivers ofcode requirements. The revised site plan (refer to Site Plan, Revision 1 of
Exhibit No 1) reflects the following setbacks;:

(7) The plan proposes a 408 square foot temporary modular unit abutting the south property line
adjacent to the railroad tracks: This structure would function as ah accessory office. building
toprocess sales and serve as a customer service location. The applicahtsubmitted
photographs of the proposed modular unit which indicate a skirt to conceal the wheels of the
structure.
(8) Vehicular access to the site would`be provided via an existing driveway od Cerritos Avenue:
A wrought iron gate is proposed along the driveway that would be open. during'business
hours. The proposed modification in setbacks increases the area devoted to storage and
display which increases the parking requirements. A total of $7 parking spaces would be

Item No. 3
ENVIRONMENTALIMPACT ANALYSIS:
(10) Staff'has determined that the proposed projecfis categorically exempt from the requirement
to prepare further environmehtaf documentation.
EVALUATION:
(11) Temporary modular units are permitted subject to the approval of a conditiohal use permit.
The change from a permanent building to a temporary modular building is the result of
changes in Southern California Edison's requirements to'ensure that during emergency
situations all structures 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 believes that the
proposed structure is acceptable given the constraints imposed by Edison: Abonditidn of
approval has been included requiring the building to incorporate architectutafenhancements
on the elevations visible to State College Boulevard ahd'CerritosAvenue.
(12) The applicant proposes to`eliminate the required landscape setbacks adjacent to State
College Boulevard and Cerritos Avenue. Code: requires a landscape setback of 20 feet
along: both streets. The applicant has submitted the attached Justification'of Waiver
indicating the irregular shape of the property and the long frontage along Cerritos Avenue
result in unique'circumstances. The applicant"contends tfiat the cost of constructioh and
irrigation of theiandscape'setbacks'and the loss of storage and display area would not make
the project financially feasible. Rather than providing permanent landscaping; the applicant
proposes to beautify the property by`using nursery stock in potted plants along both streets
behind a proposed 6-foot high wrought iron fence. Staff believes there are special
circumstances that do not apply to other identically-zoned'properties; as the property is ah
irregular triangle shape with a large frontage along Cerritos Avenue'of approximately 900
feet: The required landscape setbacks would constitute approximately 12% of the total
property area (18,300 square feet of total Iahdscaping; 4,000 square feet along State College
Boulevard and,14,300 square feet along Cerritos Avenue), However, the stricE application of
the Code would. not deprive this property ofprivileges ehjoyed by neighboring properties, as
'similar waiver requests have not been granted both along Cerritos Avenue and State College
Boulevard. As depicted in the aetial below; staff observed that alf other properties in the
vicinity have lahdscaped setbacksof at least 12 feetalohg both frontages.' Since both
..findings forjustifidation of this waiver request cannot be made, staff recommends denial of
tttetequested waiver of landscape setback.

Ifam Nn Z
(14) She attached memo from the Public Works Departmentanticipates 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 andgrowfh,
dedications of right-of-way and improvements are deemed necessary tbprevent congestion.
and other hazards hat are related to the intensified use of the land; and b preserve public
health; safety, and welfare. The applidant's request to change the land use of the subject
property from a vacant parcel to a plant nursery with accessory retail use is ah intensification
that warrants these public improvements: Staff believes there is a reasonable ~elatibnship
between the required. improvements and the prbposed' use since employees and customers
are anticipated to be on-site as a direct result of the business: Further; these employees and
customers createadditiohal vehicle and pedestrian activity to and from the property ih their
commute to the site and may walk to other locations. Currently; properties to the south of
this site along State College Boulevard and east along. Cerritos Avenue are not improved ,

frontage and associated cost of improvements thatsupport reduced' public improvements.
Staff recommendsa partialimprovement of the public right-of-wayas indicated in the
preceding table: Pedestrian access will be maintained to the entrance bf the site oh Cerritos
Avenue with the sidewalkimprovements and relief granted where pedestriah activity is
limited to the east of the driveway. Staff believes the cost of the required dedicatioh and
improvements is reasonable considering the impact oreated by,the development of the
project. Publi6 Works'staff evaluation of the project based bn estimated traffic and
transportation impact fees indicates that theprojected..impact of the development is
comparable tb he cost bfirequired imprbvements. As such, staff recommends denial of the
requested waiver along State College Boulevard and oomer cut-off improvements, ahd
partial approval of the requested waiver along Cerritos Avenue.

OF LOS ANGELES.
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 tc investigate and make findings
and recommendations in connection therewith; and that said public hearing was continued to the. March 19,
2007, 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 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
(20 feet required; 0 feet proposed)
(b)SECTION NO. 18.40.060.030
Improvement of rioht-of-wav
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 13-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 denving the waiver of improvements along Cerritos Avenue west of the
driveway along Cerritos Avenue, along State College Boulevard and the corner access 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 file and Floor coverings sales are clearly incidental to the
warehousing andlor 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 in 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
-2- PC2007-
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 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 for the
reasons hereinabove stated does hereby approve the modification to Conditional Use Permit No. 2005-
05030 to amend exhibits for apreviously-approved plant nursery, to permit a temporary modular unit.

RECORDER OF SAID COUNTY, LYING NORTHERLY OF THE NORTHERLY LINE OF THE
SOUTHERN PACIFIC COMPANY'S RIGHT OF WAY (TUSTIN RANCH), AS SAID RIGHT
OF WAY IS DESCRIBED FIRST IN DEED DATED MAY 28, 1889 FROM PACIFIC
IMPROVEMENT COMPANY TO SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY,
RECORDED JUNE 27, 1889 IN BOOK 570, PAGE 286, OF DEEDS, IN THE OFFICE OF
THE COUNTY RECORDER OF THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in the
City of Anaheim on October 3, 2005 at 230 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

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 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 Ivan area
typically known as "Tile Mile", where retail sale of file 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
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

5. 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
Cr\PC2005-146 -1- PC2005-146

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 o£
the required public improvements along State College Boulevard and Cerritos Avenue.
The reason we would like the waivers are the following:
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 area on the property and additional height
requirement of plants.. The laktice 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 inegulaz 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
greenery 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 aze
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 compazed
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 dollars,
$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 square 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.
We aze a small investor, but we chose to develop a property difficult to use for
other businesses. If the requirement to improve the public right-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 geazed toward general public sales and
pedestrians. We believe that the addition of sidewalks and a corner 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 years. If the business does not work or in 5 yeazs somebody outbids us for the
use of the property the public improvements would have been a waste of our
money. We are 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 large 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 Cerritos Avenue and State College Boulevazd and public improvements
as required by the Public Works Department.

SUBJECT: WAIVER REQUEST IN CONJUNCTION WITH A PROPOSED PLANT NURSERY
CUP2005-05030/ 1500 S. STATE COLLEGE BLVD
The applicant has requested that the sidewalk, pazkway street trees, and ADA sidewalk access ramp be
waived along State College Boulevard and Cerritos 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 waiver request to delete the sidewalk and comer access ramp along State College
Boulevazd.
b.) Denial of the waiver request to delete the parkway street trees along State College Boulevazd and
Cerritos Avenue.
c.) Approval 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 potential for generating vehiculaz 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 appli6able to the proposed development.
The relevant code sections and supporting information aze 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.
s 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 of right-of-way and improvements are deemed necessary to prevent congestion and
other hazazds that are related to the intensified use of the 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.
The development would create traffic and other conditions necessitating the improvement
of the public right-of--way. Employees and customers are anticipated to be on-site as a duect
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 points 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
characteristics of industrial aeeas have changed over time. Previously, employees would
typically drive to work and then leave at the end of the day with their vehicles. Previous street
standards in industrial areas did not include provisions for sidewalks. Today, there are public
transportation routes, restaurants and other service businesses that serve people in the area.:-
• 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 area. 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).
o The City has approved requirements and standards to insure uniformity and orderly
development. Public Works Standazd Detail 160-A For public streets in industrial areas indicate
a parkway and sidewalk. The proposed street improvements would establish confomuty 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 rnmps at the northwest and northeast comers of State College Blvd
and Cerritos Avenue have already been upgraded to be in compliance with City and
ADA standazds, i.e. constructed with tmncated domes.
AMC 18.40.060.080,0802 The cost oflhe required dedication and improvements unreasonably exceeds
the burden or impact created by the development project.
• 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 areas (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 similaz 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.
® Based on estimates prepared by Public Works staff, the cost for the required corner 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.

requested modular whits are intended foYclassroom use, The school currently consists of 15
classrooms for a total of 17 classrooms with the proposed expansioh: No staff additions are
planned far the proposed classrooms::
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS:
' (10) Staff has reviewed the proposal to construct two modular classrooms and prepared the Initial
Study (a copy of which is available for review ih the Planning Departmeht),which finds no
significant environmental impact ahd, therefore; recommends that a Negative Declaration be
approved.
EVALUATION:
(11) Temporary trailers (modular classrooms) are permitted in the Transition zone subject to
approval of a conditional use permit,
(12) The applicant proposes to provide less parking than what the code requires. Code requires a
minimum of 424 spaces for the school,. church and accessory uses,,and plans indicate the
site currently has 335 spaces. A parking demand study, dated December 13;:2006, was
prepared by the. City's traffic and parking consultant and it was determined that the existing
parkinglots provide sufficient parking to accommodate the proposed expansion: Parking
counts under the current church' operations demonsGate that the three parking lotsprovide
parking spaces that are 20 percent in excess of the maximum observed parking demand,
The modular classrooms would be used during school hoursand not in conjunction with
churctrservices: BasedUpoh the cohsultaht's ahalysis ahd recommendation, staff
recommendsapproval of this waiver..
(13) A survey of occupied parking spaces during peak times (evening church services) showed
that the distribution of parking spaces did not correspond to the available parking in each of
tfie threelots. The number of vehicles parked in the lot closest to the church facility (Lot A); `
was greater than the number of marked stalls:- Vehicles were parked along curbs and drive
aisles once the lot was full ..This condition may. be attributed to the lack of lighting in Lot B:
Staff recommends a condition of approval requiring that all parkinglots be sufficiently
illuminated and hat the lots be monitored by church staff to ensure that cars are parked in
marked stalls.
(14) The request to permit the modular whits is compatible with the existing school operations.
The modulanunits will hot negatively impact the adjacent single-family and multiple-famity
residential neighborhoods since hey will either not oe visible because they will be blocked by

FINDINGS
(15) 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'accommddate all vehiclesattributable to such use'under the normal and
reasonable foreseeable cohditions of operation of such use.
(b) That the waiver, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not increase the demand
and competition for parking spacesupon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of
• theproposed use.
(c) 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:
(d): That the waiver; under the conditions imposed; will not increase traffic congestion
within the bff-street parking areas or lots provided far such' use.
(e) That the waiver, under the conditions imposed, will not impede vehicular ingress to or
egress from adjaceht 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 thafformed the basis for
approvalof the waiver: Exceeding; violating, intensifying or otherwise deviating from any of
the assumptions as cohtained ih the Parking'Demand Study shallbe deemed a violation of
tfte express conditions imposed upon the waiver, wfiich'shall subject the waiver to revocation
'or mddification pursuant to the provisions of Section 18..60:200 (City-Initiated Revocation or
Modificatioh of Permits):`.
{16) Before the Commission grants any conditional use permit, it must make a finding of fact that
the evidehce'presented shows thaf all bf the following conditions exist
(a) That the use is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by the
Zohing Code,'oris an unlisted useasdefined in Subsection'.030 (Unlisted Uses
Permitted) of Sectioh 18:66.040 (Approval Authbrity);
(b) - That the use will' not adversely affect the adjoining land uses or the growth and
develbpmeht of the area ih which it is proposed to be located;

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in the
Ciry of Anaheim on March 19, 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 two modular buildings for classrooms at an existing
parochial school is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by Anaheim Municipal Code
Section 18.14.030.080 (Temporary Modular Units) with the following waiver.
SECTION NO. 18.42.040.010.. Minimum number of parking spaces
(424 required; 335 proposed)
2. That the parking waiver is hereby approved based upon a parking demand study prepared
by Rafiq & Associates, the City's Traffic and Parking Consultant, providing evidence that adequate parking
exists on the property for the existing church and expanded school facility.
3. That the parking waiver, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not cause fewer off-street
parking spaces to be provided for the church, school and accessory operations 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 the church, school and accessory operations because the parking
study indicates that the peak parking demand for off-street parking spaces is lower than the quantity
provided for the project site (269 spaces needed and 335 spaces proposed).
Cr\PC2007-0 -1- PC2007-
4. That the parking waiver, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not increase traffic
congestion and will not increase the demand and competition for parking spaces upon the public streets in
the immediate vicinity of the use because the church and school will have adequate parking to accommodate
the project's peak parking demands.
5. That the parking waiver, under the conditions imposed, will not increase the demand and
competition for parking spaces upon adjacent private property in the immediate vicinity of the proposed use
because as indicated in the parking study, adequate parking to accommodate the anticipated project peak
parking demand will be provided on-site.
6. That the parking 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 pf the
proposed use because the project site is physically separated from adjacent private properties. Furthermore,
it has been determined by the parking study that adequate on-site parking spaces are being provided.
7. 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;
8. 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.
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: That the Anaheim Planning
Commission has reviewed the proposal to permit two modular units for classroom use; and does hereby
approve the Negative Declaration upon finding that the declaration reflects the independentjudgment 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

1. Introduction
The purpose of this parking study is to evaluate the parking demand for a proposed school
expansion at St. Anthony's school. The site contains both an elementary school containing 15
classrooms, and a Catholic church. The school:proposes to add two modular classrooms: The
school wishes to re-purpose several existing school classrooms into a science lab, a computer
lab, and a library, within the existing school building. The .modular classrooms would` be used
for general classroom educational activities. The expansion of this site is not for the purpose of
increasing the enrollment. The enrollment is 320 students. The code-required parking is not
available. This study is necessary to demonstrate that the uses are non-concurrent, and that the
parking demand for the additional two classrooms will be accommodated within the existing site
and the proposed site as presented in the Conditional Use Permit.
2. Project Location
St. Anthony's school and church are located at 1450 East La Palma Avenue.
3. Site Description.
A. Existing Site
The site is located on the south side of La Palma Avenue, just west of the intersection of La
Palma and North Wanda Drive. North Wanda Drive extends north of La Palma Avenue and
forms a T-intersection with La Palma. The adjacent intersection west of the site is N.
Buttonwood and La Palma. Buttonwood extends south of La Palma and forms a T-intersection
with La .Palma. The site is located .halfway between North East Street on the west and State
College on the east.
There are three accesses from La Palma; the most easterly and the most westerly driveways
are restricted to egress, and the center driveway is restricted to ingress only. The parking. area
consists of three :paved lots. Lot A is nearest the street and has. 128 spaces (see Figure 3
Appendix B). Lot B is beyond rolling gates that are opened for use during weekend church
services. Lot B contains 193 parking spaces, and is situated furthest within the site (see Figure
5 Appendix 8). Lot C has 14 angled spaces for teacher .:parking (see Figure 4 in Appendix B).
There is also a grassy field adjacent to the lot B, for potential overflow parking (See Figure 6 in
Appendix B). This turf area has a potential capacity to park 160 vehicles.
B. Proposed Site
St. Anthony's school desires to expand the school to include two modular classrooms. No new
paved parking spaces are being provided, as the parking demand for the site is easily
~ accommodated within these parking spaces. Other upgrades are proposed, such as improved
parking lot lighting.
A schematic of the parking areas is provided on the count sheet in Appendix A.
4. Parking Requirements per Municipal Code
The City of Anaheim parking code requires 424 spaces for the school expansion. The site
contains approximately 335 parking spaces, based upon the car counts. The site plan provided
with this submittal tabulates 340 paved parking spaces, which include the four covered parking
Rariq 8 Associates, nc. ~ SL Anthony Claret Church
spaces within the garage, five accessible spaces including one van accessible space, and 331
regular spaces.
The code-required parking for the church and school uses are tabulated below.

Note': Per City Staff, a condition will be placed so that the hall and the church will notbe used concurrently, and the
16 spaces required for the assembly hall (.2 X 792 = 16) will. not be. counted due to the lack of a kitchen in the hall
(see community ahd religious standards fn Section 18.42 of the municipal code for nonresidential parking and
loading)
5. Site Parking Counts
Counts were taken by Southland Car Counters on Thursday, November 30, 2006; between 1:00
PM and 7:00 PM, and Sunday, December 2, 2006, between 7:00 AM and 1:00 PM and between
5:00 PM and 7:00 PM; in 30 minute intervals. Based upon the counts taken, the maximum
number of occupied parking spaces was 269 spaces at 8:00 AM on Sunday morning. On a
weekday when activities were scheduled in the evening, the peak parking demand was 36
parking spaces. The count sheet is provided in Appendix A.
6. Methodology of Study
Parking counts were taken on a typical weekday and Sunday during church services. The car
counts were used to determine whether the site's existing parking lots are sufficient to
accommodate the parking demand on an average weekday and an average Sunday.
7. Analysis
Based on the maximum observed parking demand, 269 parking spaces out of 335 available
surface parking spaces were occupied on Sunday morning during the two 8:00 AM services.
This represents an 80% occupancy rate.
This maximum observed parking demand was 269 parking spaces, which is far lower than the
code-required parking of 424 parking spaces. All of the site's parking demand can be
accommodated within the paved parking lots. No overflow parking upon surrounding streets is
anticipated. The turf area is not needed for parking on an ordinary weekend. The site may
experience an unusually high parking demand during Holy days such as Easter and Christmas.,
and the turf area would be useful for infrequent overflow parking.
Rafiq 8 sociates, Inc. 2 SL Anthony Claret Ghurch
The peak parking demand occurs when the school is not in session. The addition of two new
classrooms equates to acode-requirement of two more spaces. Considering the maximum_
observed parking demand of 269, two more vehicles would be 271. This can easily be
accommodated within the existing approximately 335-space parking lot as well as within the lot
as proposed in this CUP (340 spaces).
8. Conclusions
St. Anthony's provides sufficient parking to accommodate the proposed expansion. There is a
surplus of 20% of existing parking spaces that are in excess of the observed maximum parking
demand and two more vehicles attributed to teachers in the two new classrooms will be
accommodated. However, the distribution of vehicles within the three lots does not correspond
to the number of available parking. spaces. Parking Lot A is the parking lot closest to the
church. It contains 128 marked parking spaces. The car counters counted 143 vehicles
parked in this lot on Sunday morning at 8:00 AM, and 151 parked vehicles on Sunday night at
5:00 PM. This means that 15 vehicles were parked along curbs and drive aisles after all the
parking spaces within Lot A were occupied on Sunday morning and 23 vehicles in excess of the
marked spaces were parked in Lot A on Sunday night during the 5:00 service. These additional
vehicles could have easily been accommodated within Parking Lot B. The gates to Parking Lot
B were open and Parking Lot B was available for parking. Based upon a discussion with the
priest, the lighting is on a timer and additional lights are turned on by security that is on duty in
the evenings. Additional lighting is proposed as part of this CUP.
9. Recommendations
Based upon the overparking of vehicles in Lot A, we offer the following two recommendations:
1. Vehicles that are parked along drive aisles may block emergency vehicle access, and if
so, the drivers should be notified that they are in violation. The congregation should be
educated periodically that all vehicles should be parked in marked stalls.
2. The church should take the appropriate measures to assist traffic, if necessary, so that
there is an efficient flow of traffic out of the driveways at the termination of services, to
prevent unnecessary delays. This will minimize the tendency for some to park .along
drive aisles.
10. Findings
Finding Number :0101 That the variance, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not cause
fewer off-street parking spaces to be provided for the proposed use than the number of such
spaces necessary to accommodate all vehicles attributable to such use under the normal and
reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation of such use.
St. Anthony Claret Church will be able to provide adequate parking onsite for its uses.
The three parking lots provide a buffer of 20% surplus parking spaces above the
maximum observed parking demand.
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.
Ra iq 8 Associates, nc. 3 St. Anthony Claret Church
St. Anthony Claret Church 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 prope'r1y 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).
St. Anthony Claret Church will provide adequate parking onsite. Overflow parking will
not 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.
St. Anthony Claret Church will provide sufficient parking onsite for its uses. The parking
provided and the multiple access points are adequate to prevent congestion within the
parking lots.
Finding Number .0105 That the variance, 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.
St. Arithony Claret Church will provide sufficient parking onsite for its uses.

(7) The applidant requests modifications to previously-approved sign exhibits and
permitted encroachments into setback areas as follows: '
a) Two wall: signs are proposed for The Cheesecake Factory restaurant at
the ndrthwesE corner of Katella Avenue and Clementine Street. The

allow one wall sign per street frontage. This modification provides better.
visibility of the restaurant signage from Katella Avenue and Clementine
Street: Alsd prdposed is the,reldcation of one wall sign for the Bubba
' Gump. Shrimp Company restaurant :The sign would be relocated from
the south building wall facing Katella Avenue to the west building
elevation facing the driveway entrance to Anaheim GardenWalk. This
enables visibility of the sign from the parking structure entrance and from

standards of the Anaheim GardenWalk Overlay, as proposed to be amended.
2. That Amendment No. 7 to The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan, as proposed, is
consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan, and with the purposes, standards and land use
guidelines therein.
3. That Amendment No. 7 to The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan No. 92-1 results in
development of desirable character inasmuch as the proposed sign amendments are consistent with sign
criteria permitted for buildings situated on corner lots within other areas of The Disneyland Resort Specific
Plan Zone and the adjacent Anaheim Resort Specific Plan Zone, and that the proposed encroachment
into a setback area for architectural projections will facilitate the development of a signature restaurant
building at a prominent intersection that will be compatible with existing, approved and permitted
development in the surrounding Anaheim Resort.
4. That Amendment No. 7 to The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Na 92-1 respects the
environmental and aesthetic resources consistent with economic realities by providing for visual
enhancement of the Anaheim GardenWalk Overlay and The Anaheim Resort with the implementation of
the Anaheim GardenWalk project and by fulfilling the goals and objectives of The Disneyland Resort
Specific Plan. The previously-approved Second Addendum to the Pointe Anaheim lnitial Study and
Mitigated Negative Declaration and Modified'Mitigation Monitoring Plan No. 004a also address project-

RE: Broadway Village
Anaheim, CA
Request jor Incentives to the City ofAnaheinr
To Whom It May Concern:
The intent of this letter is to provide the City of Anaheim with financial proof to justify
Global Premier Development, Inc.'s ("GPD") need for the below incentives as set forth
in the City Codes, to build 46 units of affordable housing.
In 2005, GPD was awazded $11,768,000.00 of tax credits to construct 46 units of
affordable housing on a site that was purchased for over $4,000,000.00. Subsequently,
once GPD accepted the award, GPD formed a partnership, entered into several
agreements with a Syndicate; a non profit organization, an investor, a contractor and a
financing institution The financial impact of not receiving the ordinance incentives so
that GPD could build exactly 46 units would be devastation to GPD, the investors,
employees, and ultimately the citizens of Anaheim. The major impact would be to give
back the credits to the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee. This is the major
source of funds that provides over 60% of the project financing. The initial investment in
land costs, architectural design, preliminary market, environmental, relocation and
appraisal studies was above $4.5 million would be a devastating financial blow.
On the site before construction were 23 apartments that were physically obsolete in every
conceivable manner. There was no doubt that by demolition and construction, affordable
housing would provide citizens with new housing at affordable levels of 30%, 40%, 50%
and 60% of the average medical income of Orange County MSA. The new housing
would provide families with amenities such as a computer and learning center, energy
efficient appliances, etc. Also the new building would enhance the neighborhood by
creating jobs, a more desirable look and most importantly affordable housing.

Offrse (949)112-9119 ~Fa ~ (949) 72:-9014
Due to the changes in design plans that were the result of City ordinances in was found
we could only build 46 units. These 46 units would be developed under the Code `
guidelines of the Affordable Rental Housing Development. Since the proposal in an
Affordable Rental Housing Development, a minimum of 20% of the total number of units
(9) would be restricted to an affordable housing rent for Very Low Income households. In
addition, the proposal would be for 100% affordable rental housing at different tiers, and
therefore, the project is allowed up to at least three incentives (setbacks, open space etc.)
for example, Under the Code, the applicant is entitled to the incentives they request and
localities must waive or reduce standazds that make it impossible to build at the
established density for the development site. The following are the Incentives we request
for determination of compliance with the Density Bonus Ordinance:
Tier 1
o Increased allowable site converse to a maximum of 90% for a fully subterranean
Qarase and 65% for the lot surface .for all structures. Code permits maximum lot
coverage 55% for all structures. Based upon staff review, the proposed
subterranean garage would have an approximately lot coverage of 61%.
o Decreased size for 50% of the re~c uired tress from 24-inch box to 15 gallon.
Tier 2
e Landscape setbacks from interior property lines (north and ease property lines) -
S feet required; 2-4 feet proposed.
o Landscape and structural setbacks within 150 feet of single-family residential
(west property line) - 10 feet landscape 55 feet structural required; 4 feet
landscape 20 feet structural proposed.
With the aforementioned incentives, GPD will be able to move forward making
Broadway Village a financially feasible project, and thus providing the City of Anaheim
with a 100% affordable housing units for its residents.

RE: CUP2007-05185
La Isla Restaurant
125 N. State College
Anaheim, CA 92805
Attachment -Item No. 7
The Police Department has received an I.D.C. Route Sheet for CUP
2007-05185. The applicant is requesting to add a take out window for
an existing restaurant with on-premises sales and consumption of
alcoholic beverages.
The location is within Reporting District 1527, which has a Crime Rate
of 74 percent above average. It is also within Census Tract Number
864.05 which has a population of 6,699. This population allows for 8 on
sale Alcoholic Beverage Control licenses and there are presently 5
licenses in the tract. It also allows for 4 off sale licenses and there are
presently 4 licenses and 1 pending license in the tract.
They would need to obtain an off sale license as told by ABC. This
location has had shootings in the past and problems in the parking lot.
They also are in a reporting district with a high crime rate.
For the reasons stated above, the Police Department opposes this
request.
The Police Department responded to this location 23 times in the last
year. Most of the calls consist of a violent nature. The calls consist of:
4 fight, 4 assault, 1 loud music disturbance, 2 boyfriend/girlfriend
disturbance, 1 narcotic sale, 1 brandishing a firearm, 1 911, 7 burglary
alarm, 1traffic-reckless driving arrest(drunk from this establishment), 1
IosUstolen. Of the calls listed, except for the alarm corals, all occurred
:from 10pm to the early morning hours. For this reason, if The Planning
Commission wishes to allow a take out window we request it only
be open for lunch, and absolutely no alcohol is to go outthe
window.

(7) The applicant proposes to Upgrade the existing,fagade of the building. The elevation
drawings, colored rendering, and materials board (Exhibif No. 3, 4, and 5) indicate acne-
story commercial building varying in height from 18 to 24 feet high with Greek-style
architecture. Building materials consist of a smooth plaster finish, decorative wall-mounted
light fixtures, and six-foot (6) high stone wainscoting at the base of the south and east
elevations, A decorative cornice treatment is proposed on the wainscoting and roofline cf
each elevation: Entry to the units would be provided along the south building wal(facing Ball
Road: As depicted in the above elevation, the'soutft elevation ihcludes a raised element to
add interest and a focal point to the center.

with current Code requirements: Staff recommends a condition of approval requiring the
submittal of a final sign program to staff for all tenants which is consistent in design and
compatible with the building design::
(9) There' is an open Commuhity Preservation violation pertaining to signs and outdoor displays

Item No. 8
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS:
(10) Staff has determined that the proposed project is categorically exempt from the requirement
to prepare further environmental documentation.
EVALUATION:
(11) The division of an existing retail unit to create additional units is permitted in the General
Commercia(zpne subject to approval of a conditional use permit The existing center was
constructed prior to the code provision: requiring a conditional use permit for a commercial
retail center: Therefore, the applicant is also requesting a conditional use permit for the non-
conforming center. The existing commercial center is an aging; center thatdoes not have
landscapingwithin the street settiack that meets current code. Although. staff would
encourage landscaping; the requested action on its own would not require the property
owner to make these improvements.
(12) The applicant requests'a deviation in the minimum number of required parking spaces.
Code requires a minimum of 32 parking spaces for retail uses and plans indicate 29 parking
:spaces proposed, which is a deficiency of 3 spaces.' Code requires that requests for
waivers relating to minimum number of parking spaces that do not exceed10% of the
required number of parking spaces shall be accompanied by a letter from the applicant to
justify the reduction in parking . Based upon. the evaluation by the applicant (attached), staff
recommends a royal of the parking waiver for a commercial retail center since the
accessibilityand usability of the parking spaces will be improved'and additional square
footage is not proposetl.
(13) 'Staff is supportive of the request to permit the division'of one (1) retail tenant space into two.
(2) retail units and one'(1) accessory storage unit and to establish land use'conformity for an
<`existing, non-conforming commercial retail center because it would be compatible with the
underlying zone. This'request would also bring the retail center into greater conformity with
current code by obtaining the proper land use approval and improving the parking lot and
lartdscape areas so that they are closer to current code requirements. Careful consideration
has been given to the functionality of parking of the existing center. The architect has
worked closely with staff to improve the existing non-conforming parking layout of the center
and to design a fagade that would architecturally enhance the surrounding neighborhood.
Recommended standard conditions of approval wou d ensure proper maintenance,
'' landscaping;: sanitation; and screening ofroof-mounted equipment.
FINDINGS:
(14) ` Section 18.06.080 of the parking ordinance sets forth the following findings which are
required to tie made before the parking waivers are approved by the Commission:
(a) Thatthe variance, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not cause fewer off-street
parking spaces to be provided forsuch use than the numtier of sucfispaces
necessary to accommodate all vehicles attributable to such use under the normal and
reasonably foreseeable conditions of operationcf such use; and

(bp 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

(c) That the variance, under the conditidns imposed, if any, will not increase the demand

congestion within the off-street parking areas or Tots provided for such use; and
(e) That the variande, 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:
Unless conditions to the contrary are expressly imposed upon the granting of eny variance
pursuant to this Sectioh by the Zoning Administrator, Hearing Officer, Planning Commission
or City Council; the granting of any such variance shall be deemed contingent upon
operation of such use in conformance with the assumptions relating to the operation and
intensity of he use as contained in the parking demand study that formed the basis for
approval of saidbariance: Exceeding, violating, intensifying oPotherwise deviating from any
of said assumptions as contained in the parking demand study shall. be deemed a viblatibn
of the'express conditions imposed upon said variance which shall subject said variance to
termination or modificatibn pursuant to the provisiohs of Sections 18.03.091 and 18.03.092
of this Code.
(15) Before the Planning Commission grants any conditional use permit, it must make a fintlirig of
fact that the evidence presented shows that all of the following condition5exist:
(a) That the proposed use is properly one for which a conditional use permit is
authorized by the Zoning Cdde,' or that said use is not listed therein as being a
permitted use;
(b) ' That the proposed use will not adversely affect the adjoining land uses and the
growth ahd development of the area in which it is proposed to be located;

A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM PLANNING COMMISSION
THAT PETITION FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2007-05187 BE GRANTED
(2437-2441 WEST BALL 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
LOT 1, TRACT 3091, IN THE CITY OF ANAHEIM, COUNTY OF ORANGE,
STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AS PER MAP RECORDED IN BOOK 92, PAGE 48
AND 49 OF MISCELLANEOUS MAPS, IN THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY
RECORDER OF SAID COUNTY..
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in the
City of Anaheim on March 19, 2007, at 230 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 the division of a retail unit into three (3) units and to
establish land use conformity for an existing commercial center is properly one for which a conditional use
permit is authorized by Anaheim Municipal Code Section Nos. 18.08.030.040.0402 (Commercial Retail
Center) with the following waiver.
(a) SECTION NO. 18.42.040.010 Minimum number of Dorking spaces.
(32 required; 29 proposed)
2. That the above mentioned waiver, 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 as the
estimated retail area will not increase from what is existing. The demand for the center is currently being met
by the existing parking condition and the availability of usable parking spaces will increase with the re-
striping. Additionally, the owner will be occupying one of the available retail units for a professional office,
which does. not have the parking demand that code anticipates for retail uses.
3. .That the 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 :parking is prohibited
on West Ball Road. This restriction will not change with the improvements of the project.
4. That the waiver, will not increase traffic congestion within the off-street parking areas or lots
provided far the proposed use because the parking for the adjacent buildings is not readily accessible from
this property and there is no circulation between the subject site and adjacent properties.
5. 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 driveways and parking areas for the adjacent properties are self-contained and separate from the
proposed project.
Cr\PC2007-0 -1- PC2007-
6. That the existing and continued 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.
7. That the size and shape of the site is adequate to allow the full development of the proposed
use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area or the health and safety in that there is no new square
footage proposed with this request.
8. That the traffic generated by the use will not impose an undue burden upon the streets and
highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area since the retail space is existing and the
division of the unit by itself does not generate a significant increase in traffic.
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 "* indicated their presence at said public hearing in opposition; and that no
correspondence was received in opposition to the subject petition.

Re: Parking Variance .Fustification - 2437 West Batt Road
Pre-File No. 2006-00070
Deaz Kimberly,
The Site Plan for the referenced site is being submitted for formal
review with a total number of provided parking spaces that is slightly
below the code required minimum number. In accordance to your pre-
file review letter dated September 7, 2006, BOLADazck Design Corp.. +
N. Battle Architect hereby requests a variance from the code for the
number of provided parking stalls.
Based on the gross building azea of 6,570 squaze feet, 31.76 => 32 stalls
aze required. Our site plan indicates that 29 stalls will be provided, a 3
stall deficit. This equates to a 9.38 % shortfall.
Following ' aze the variance requirements and the corresponding
justifications:
® 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;
The pazking requirement is based on a grass building size of 6,570
square feet. The estimated usable Retail area will be approximately
5,436 squaze feet. The estimated usable Storage azea will be
approximately 1,134 square feet. Applying the code requirement less
10% administrative reduction to this area equates to a total of 28.49 =>
29 stalls. Additionally, the proposed building is being designed and
mazketed as a "class A" building. Also, the Owner will be occupying
one of the available Retail units as an office, and as professional
services, does not have the pazking demand that the code anticipates.
• 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;
Off- street pazking is prohibited along both adjacent street frontages
(West Ball Road and South Roanne Street). This restriction will not
CUP N0. 2007 - 0 5 1 8 7
change with the addition of this project; therefore the off-street pazking
U I will be unaltered.
. ~.
.!I
¢' ,': o That the variance, under the conditions imposed if any, will not `°
;' ; increase the demand and compefition for parking spaces upon
~~'~ ' _ adjacent private property in the immediate vicinity of the proposed
~ -._ use;
+ N. Battle ArcUitect -
As with the proposed project, the parking for the adjacent buildings is
contained within the property boundaries of each building. There is no
circulation between the subject site and the adjacent properties. All the
driveways are clearly defined. Pazking in the adjacent properties aze
extremely inconvenient at the very least.
e That the variance, under the conditions imposed if any, will not
increase the traffic congestion within the offf-street parking areas or lot
provided for the proposed use;
Given that the site is an existing development being designed with the
variance taken into consideration, congestion within the off-street
pazking aeeas will be no different than if the site were designed without
the need for the requested variance.
o That the variance, 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;
As noted above, the driveways and pazking areas for the adjacent
properties aze self contained and separate from the proposed project.
Impedance of vehicular ingress or egress is neazly impossible. Also, the
above existing project has kept its' existing foot print and number of
stalls.
Please consider these justifications as persuasive evidence that pazking
deviation from the code is minor and should have little or no effect on
the subject project, nor the surrounding streets and properties. We look
forward to a favorable recommendation for this variance as the project
completes the approval process. Please feel free to contact me with any
questions or for any additional information as you review this request.

(9) The roof section plan (Exhibit No: 6) indicates that the7oof is fully surrounded by a parapet.:.
wall and other architectural features of the building:.. The roof-mouhted equipment weuld
have a height of approximately three (3) feet and would be completely screened from view
from the right-of-way on Katella Avenue and the adjacentsingle-family residences to the
north and east.
(10) The landscape plan (Exhibit No: 7) indicates a variety of canopy trees surrounding the
proposed building. The plan reflects a 15-foot wide andscape planter alorg Katella
Avenue. Plans propose a variety of shrubs and groundcover within the landscape setback.
The landscaped planters withih the parkingarea are proposed to include trees, shrubs, and
groundcoveE In order to provide an extra buffer forthe single-family residences to the
north and east, a total of 21 tees is proposed within the landscape settiack, which is
double what code requires.. Staff has included a condition of approval requiring that flhal
landscape plans be submitted showing an eight (8) foot high decorative masonry wall along

Item No. 9
• ' The applicant also requests a deviation in the minimum number of required parking spaces_
Code requiresa minimum of 67 parking spaces for the mizbf tetait andprofessional office
uses. Plans indicate 60 parking spaces proposed; which is a deficiency of Tspaces Code
requires that requests for waivers relating to minimum numberbf parking spaces that do
not exceed 10% of the;required number of>parking spaces shall tie accompanied by a letter
from the applicant to justify the reduction in parking, Based updn the evaluation by the
applicant (attached); staff recommends aborovalbf the parking waiver for a retail and
professional office building. Staff's recommendation is based upon the finding that the
proposed center isdesigned with`a mix of retail uses with parking`demands that are
typically heavy during evenirtg hours and offices which have a higher parking demand
during the day.
(18) Goal 6.1 of the Community Design Element of the General Plan reads as follows:
"Focus activity centers at fhe intersections of selected major corridors to provide convenient
and attractive cdncentration of retail and office uses"
The following desigh policies implement this goal:
• 'Locate buildings close td the street with parking located behind or to the side of the
building.
• Encourage pedestrian-scale features such as public art and awnings
• Incorporate architectural interest through varied rooflines, colors; materials; and
lighting
• Provide layered landscaping
• Provide gathering spaces uch as outdoor eating areas, water features, and
courtyards.
• Screen utilities:'.
(19) Many of the design features indicated in the' Design Element have been incorporated into
the proposed project. !Examples ihclude decorative lighting, awnings, puality materials,
varied colors; and screened utility equipment. Staff believes the proposed elevations would
architecturally enhance'the surrounding area.
(20) Staff is supportive of the request to construct a new commercial retail center. The
proposed retail and office uses would be compatible with adjacent landuses in the area
and contribute to the services provided for the neighborhood. Careful considefation has
been given to the design and funotionalitybfthe proposed retaiPcenter The architect has
worked closely with staff to provide a quality design that is consistent with the Community
Design Element of the: General Plan. Based upon the.: project's quality design and
compliance with recommended conditions used to ensure that the details of the project are
also adequate, staff recommendsaoproval of the project.
FINDINGS:
{21) Section 18.42,110 of the parking code sets forth the following findings which are required to
be made before a parking waivecjs 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
Page 6

Item No. 9
necessary to' accommodate all vehicles attributable to such use under the normal and
reasonable foreseeable conditions of 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
i parking spaces upon adjacent private property,in fhe immediate. vicinity of the.
proposed use:
(d) That the waiver, under the conditions imposed, will not increase traffic congestion
within the off-street parking areas or lots provided for such use...
(e) Thafthe 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 bf the proposed use in conformance with the assumptions relating to the
operation and intensityof the use as contained in theParking Demand Study,that formed
the basis for approval of the waiver: Exceeding, violating, intensifying or otherwise
deviating from any of the assumptions as contained in the Parking: Demand Sfudy shall. be
deemed a violation of the express conditions.imposed upon the waiver, which shall subject
the waiver to revocation or modification pursuant to the provisions of Section 18.60.200
(City-Initiated Revocation or ModificationofPermits).
{22) When practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships result from strict enforcement of the
Zoning Code; a modificatiod may be granted for the purpose of assuring that no property,
because of speciatci~cumstances .applicable to it, shall be deprived bf privileges oommonly
enjoyed by other properties in the same vicinity and zohe. The sole purpose of any
variance or code waiver is to prevent discrimination and none shall be approved which
would have the effeotof granting a special privilege not shared by other similar properties.
Therefore, before any variance or code waiver is granted by the Planning 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 to other identically:
zoned properties in the vicinity; and
(b) That strict application of the Zoning Code deprives the property ofprivileges
enjoyed by other properties under identical zoning classification in the vicinity:
(23j 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 properlyone for which a conditional use permit is authorized by the
Zoning Cade, or is an unlisted use as defined in Subsection :030 (Unlisted Uses
Permitted) of Section 18.66.040 (Approval Authority);

2. That the above-mentioned waiver (a) is hereby approved as the site is unique because of its
narrow frontage which is approximately a third of the depth of the property. The narrow width of the property
constrains the property's development potential forcing the necessary square footage into a two story
structure. Additionally, the neighboring property to the south has a similar height. Denial of this waiver
would deprive this property of a privilege enjoyed by other property in the vicinity. Windows are not
proposed for any of the second-story tenant spaces reducing the potential for loss of privacy for adjacent
single-family residences.
3. That the above-mentioned waiver (b) is hereby denied because it has been deleted:
4. That the above-mentioned waiver (c) is hereby approved because the site is constrained by
its narrow width. Compliance with this setback would limit the width of the building to approximately thirteen
(13) feet, which is unusually narrow. Denial of the waiver would deprive this property a privilege enjoyed by
Cr\PC2007-0 -1- PC2007-
other properties In the vicinity because the properties to the west have similar structural setbacks of 5 to 10
feet abutting a residential zone.
5. That the above-mentioned waiver (d), 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. The proposed
building has been designed with a mix of office and retail uses. The parking demand for retail uses are
generally heavy during evening hours when offices will be closed. Therefore, the shared parking with mixed
uses will provide adequate parking stalls.
6. 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 because
parking is not permitted on Katella Avenue.
7. That the parking waiver, will not increase traffic congestion within the off-street parking areas
or lots provided for the proposed use because adequate parking and circulation is provided for the mix of
uses proposed.
8. That the parking 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 mix of retail and office uses will provide adequate parking. The development will
provide additional shared access with the property to the west which will ease traffic congestion on Katella
Avenue.
9. That the proposed commercial retail building as conditioned herein would not adversely
affect the adjoining land uses and the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be
located.
10. 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.
11. That 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 .and will provide a land use that is
compatible with the surrounding area.
12. That "' indicated their presence at said public hearing in opposition; .and that no
correspondence was received in opposition to the subject petition.

Re: Parking Variance Justification -
1671 W Katella Avenue, Preflle No. 2006-000104
Dear John::
The Site Plan for the referenced site is being submitted for formal review with a total
number of provided parking spaces that is slightly below the code-required minimum
number. In accordance to your pre-file n:view letter dated Dec13, 2006, Katella retail
Center hereby requests a variance from the code for the number of provided parking
stalls,
Based on the gross building area of 13,800 square feet, retail area of 7~Q l) sf 43
stalls required , offrce area of 6000 sf = 24 stalls required total of ~6~'alls are
required. Our site plan indicates that 6D stalls will be provided, a 7-stall deficit. This
equates to a 9 % shortfall. following an: the variance requirements and the
corresponding justifications:
That the vadance, under the condtions imposed if any, will not cause fewer oli-
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 foreseee5le conditions of operab'on of such use;
The proposed building is being designed and Retail uses will be heavy during
evening hours and offices will be closed during this 6me, hence shared parking with
mixed use will provide adequate parking stalls.
That the variance, underthe conditions imposed if any, wit! not increase the demand
and compeh7lon for parking spaces upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity
of the proposed use;
Adjoining retail will be connected to the proposed development which will further
ease traffic on Katella and Interior traffic flow of troth the developments.

That fhe vadance, under fhe condrflons Imposed if any, will riot increase the damahd
and competition for pa1#ing spaces upon adjacent private property in the immediate
vicinity ofthe proposed use;
The parking will be shared for the mix of retail and office uses. the development to" "'
the west would decrease the number of driveways from Katella avenue and our
development will provided additional shared interior driveway which will ease traffic
congeston on Katella Avenue,
That fhe variance, under fhe conddions imposed, if any, wilt riot increase franc
congestion within the off-street parking areas or lots pmvided for the proposed use;
Given that the site is a new development being designed with the variance taken into
consideration, congestion within the off-street parking areas will be no different than
if the site were designed without the need for the requested variance.
That the vadance, under the conditions imposed if any, will not impede vehicular
ingress to or egress from adjacent properties upon the puhiic streets in the
immediate vicinity of the proposed .use;
As noted above, the driveways and partring areas for the adjacent properties are
provided with shared intefior driveway to ease and smooth traffic flow on Katella
Avenue. Both the development will benefit with this improvements.
Please consider these justifications as persuasive evidence that the parking
deviation from code is minor and should have little or no effect on the subject
project, nor the surrounding streets and properties. We look forward to a favorable
recommendation for this variance as the project completes the approval process.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or far any additional infonnation as
