The Zoning Administrator, considered the request for Special Circumstances Waiver No. 2001-00019 to permit a Special Event Permit for aone-day special event consisting of an automobile show located at 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. Page -2- 4104/02 2a.
