The Zoning Administrator, considered the request for Special Circumstances Waiver No. 2001-00019 to

1501-1551 South Douglass Road .and made the following findings:
Page -1-
4/04/02
1. That a letter requesting this special circumstances waiver and describing the proposal was
submitted on March 5, 2002 by Susan Lundgren, Orange County Transportation Organization.
2. That approval of special circumstances waivers (allowing modification and/or waiver of
regulations pertaining to special events) is authorized Subsection 18.02.055080 "Zoning Administrator
Review (of Special Events Permits)" and Section 18.12.085 "Special Event Permit -Review" of the
Anaheim Municipal Code.
3. That the property is zoned ML (Limited Industrial); that the Anaheim General Plan land use
designation is Business Office/Mixed Use/Industrial; and that the underlying parking lot was established in
connection with Conditional Use Permit No. 3700.
4. That this specific request is for waiver of Subsection 16.02.055.050(c) which allows special
event permits in any zone in conjunction with a use for which a conditional use permit has been issued
authorizing said use which is permitted as a matter of right in .any commercial zone; but that a parking lot
is not a permitted primary use in any commercial zone and, therefore, this special circumstances waiver
was submitted.
5. That approval of this special circumstances waiver serves the public interest and general
welfare, as discussed in the Staff Report tc the Zoning Administrator, dated April 4, 2002.
Under authority of Sections 18.02.055.080 and Section 18.12.085, and as described in the petitioner's
letter and in the staff report, the Zoning Administrator approved Special Circumstances Waiver No. 2000-
19for the herein described special event on Saturday, June 8, 2002, subject to compliance with the
following conditions:
1. That prior to (or not less than fourteen (14) days prior to) the event, the petitioner shall obtain a
Special Event Permit from the Planning Department.
2. That this outdoor event and the various activities associated with it shall comply with all the
standards and requirements set forth in Section 18.02.055 "Special Event Permit -General" of the
Anaheim Municipal Code unless otherwise specifically provided herein including that the event
shall not be conducted before 7 A:M. nor after 10 P.M., in compliance with Subsection
18:02.055.060.0606.
3. That extraordinary circumstances are present based on the type of event proposed. This event
requires a large display area due to the number of the vehicles to be displayed, as well as a large
area for the parking of spectator vehicles. This type of event is not suited to a location in which a
special event permit is normally appropriate. The impact would be too great on a normal business
location due to the area required.
4. That this non-profit, five-hour event is limited in time and will have a negligible effect on the parking
lot and circulation, as well as the streets and highways in the area which are used to handling an
even greater demand when the Arrowhead Pond is sponsoring an event.
5. That this non-profit, five-hour event will not operate concurrently with any events scheduled at the
adjacent Arrowhead Pond on the same date and time.
6. That no flags, banners, or other temporary advertising devices will be utilized which would result in
aesthetic concerns during this event.

8. (a) That an unsubordinated restricted covenant providing reciprocal access and parking, approved
by the City Traffic and Transportation Manager and Zoning Division, and in a form satisfactory to
the City Attorney, shall be recorded with the Office of the Orange County Recorder. Provision
shall be made in the covenant to guarantee that these two (2) parcels shall be managed. and
maintained as one (1) integral parcel for the purpose of vehicle circulation and parking, and that
the covenant shall be referenced in all deeds transferring all or any part of the interest in the

circulation is maintained for the public's use and for emergency and trash collection vehicles,
including the shared use of parking spaces.)
(b) That the above-mentioned covenant shall also specify that any freestanding business signs shall
comply with Section 18.05.p93 of the Zoning Code (Business Signs Permitted within

larger industrial complex with shared vehicle access and circulation and (ii) the existing
monument sign located on subject property (on the north side of the driveway on Lewis Street)
identifies the name and addresses of the overall complex and was installed in compliance with
the standards of said Section 18.05.093 (as evidenced by the minimum distance between the
monument sign and an adjoining property line being based on the combined street frontages of
separate parcels in the overall industrial complex).
(c) That the above-mentioned covenant shall be recorded either prior to approval of the final map or
concurrently with the final parcel map, as required by the Public Works Department, Subdivision
Section; provided, however, that if such covenant (addressing circulation, parking and signage)
has already been recorded for this property as part of the existing industrial complex, the
Subdivision Section, the City Attorney and the Zoning Division may determine that the earlier
covenant adequately addresses the circulation, parking and signage in the existing industrial
complex and that, therefore, this Condition No. 8 has been satisfied. If a new covenant is
recorded, a copy shall be submitted to the Zoning Division.
