Based on the evidence and testimony presented, The Zoning Administrator has approved Conditional
Use Permit No. 2001-04406, in part.
1. That waiver (a), maximum number of wall signs in the Scenic Corridor Overlay Zone, is
hereby granted, in part, approving two wall signs consisting of one sign on the north elevation (as
illustrated on Exhibit No. 5) and a second sign above the windows of the proposed restaurant on the west
elevation (as illustrated on Exhibit No. 3), and denying the proposed wall sign on the east elevation
(illustrated on Exhibit No. 4) on the basis that there are special circumstances applicable to the property
consisting of the location and surroundings, which do not apply to other identically zoned properties in the
vicinity, because the two approved wall signs will be visible only to on-site traffic approaching the
proposed restaurant from the east or west and that only one of the wall signs (the west facing sign) may
be visible to off-site traffic on Imperial Highway, and that both approved wall sign locations are close to
doorways to the subject restaurant; and that strict application of the Zoning Code would deprive the
property of privileges enjoyed by several other properties in this commercial center, which businesses
have two wall signs.

parking analysis submitted by the petitioner and concurred with by the City Traffic and Transportation

Manager, which study indicates that the parking supply for this commercial center including the proposed
restaurant exceeds the needs of the property; and that the parking waiver, under the conditions imposed,
will not cause fewer off-street parking spaces to be provided for the existing and proposed uses than the
number of such spaces necessary to accommodate all vehicles attributable to such uses under the
normal and reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation of the uses.
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 proposed use.
4. 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 (which property is not expressly provided as parking for such use under an agreement in compliance
with Section 18.06.010.020 of the Zoning Code).
5. That the parking waiver, under the conditions imposed, will not increase traffic congestion
within the off-street parking areas or lots provided for the existing and proposed uses.
6. That the parking 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.
7. That the sale of beer and wine for on-premises consumption in conjunction with a bona
fide eating establishment will not adversely affect the adjoining land uses and the growth and
development of the area in which it is proposed to be located.
8. That the size and shape of the site is adequate to allow full development of the proposed
restaurant, including the sale and consumption of beer and wine in connection with meal service, in a
manner not detrimental to the particular area nor to the peace, health, safety and general welfare.
9. That the traffic generated by the proposed restaurant with the sale and consumption of
beer and wine will not impose an undue burden upon the streets and highways designed and improved to
carry the traffic in the area.
10. That granting this conditional use permit, under the conditions imposed, will not be
detrimental to the peace, health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Anaheim.
