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 use is properly one for which a conditional use permit is
authorized by Anaheim Municipal Code Section No. 18.10.030.040.0402 (Antennas -
Telecommunications- Stealth Ground-mounted).
2. That the proposed telecommunications facility disguised as a palm tree would not
adversely affect the adjoining land uses and the growth and development of the area in which it is
proposed to be located because it provides a service to the community in a stealth facility.
3. That the size and shape of the site is adequate to allow full-development of the
request in a manner not detrimental to the particular area nor to the health and safety as the
telecommunication facility disguised as a palm tree would not affect the circulation or setbacks of
the existing industrial property.
4. That because this is an unmanned facility with infrequent maintenance, 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.
