amend said Resolution No. PC82-93 and permit further expansion of the existing automobile

WHEREAS on October 11, 1999, Resolution No. PC99-178 was adopted to
amend said Resolution No. PC82-93 to retain five temporary trailers for office use and two

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic
Center in the City of Anaheim on November 14, 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:
-2- PC2007-140
~ ~
l. That the proposed request to expand an existing automobile auction facility to add
a 638 space vehicle storage lot and vehicle unloading area is properly one for which a
conditional use permit is authorized by Anaheim Municipal Code Section No.
18.120.050.050.0547 (Vehicle Sales Agencies and Lots).
2. That the proposed automobile auction facility expansion will not adversely affect
the adjoining land uses or the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be
located.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. That the waiver pertaining to minimum setback adjacent to a public right-of-way
is hereby approved since the purpose of the setback waiver is for adequate screening of the
outdoor use and storage and, further, that other properties in the vicinity with similar uses have
setbacks less than the code presently requires. The setback for the wall is adequate since the
required 10 feet of landscaping adjacent to the property line would be provided and would
consist of a berm, trees, hedge, and clinging vines. Additionally, the outdoor activities within the
setback would allow the business full use of the site and would not impact the aesthetics of the
area because the outdoor activities would be screened from public view.
6. That no one 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; and does hereby approve the
Negative Declaration upon finding that the declaration reflects the independent judgment 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 approve an amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 2334 to expand
an existing automobile auction facility to add a 638 space vehicle storage lot and vehicle
unloading area.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Anaheim Planning Commission does
hereby amend, in their entirety, the conditions of approval adopted in connection with Resolution
No. PC82-93, as amended by Resolution Nos. PC95-141 and PC99-178 and as adopted in
connection with Conditional Use Permit No. 2334, to read as follows:
