WHEREAS, on November 10, 2005, the Anaheim City Zoning Administrator, by
its Resolution No. ZA2005-27, did approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2005-05037 to permit
the sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption in an existing restaurant with
outdoor dining with waiver of minimum number of parking spaces; and
WHEREAS, the Anaheim Planning Commission did receive a verified Petition
for a Conditional Use Permit to amend apreviously-approved permit to construct a new
permanent accessory dining building in place of an existing tent which is used for outdoor dining
and events in conjunction with an existing restaurant, continue the sale of alcoholic beverages for
on-premises consumption, with fewer parking spaces than required by Code, a reduced building
setback adjacent to Anaheim Boulevard, and a higher fence height than allowed by Code, for
certain real property situated in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, as
more particularly described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by this
reference.
WHEREAS, the property is currently developed with a restaurant occupying a
historically significant building, an outdoor dining area, and an existing tent and is zoned
General Commercial (C-G); the Anaheim General Plan designates this property for General
Commercial land uses; this property is also lpcated within the Merged Redevelopment Project
Area; and

having been duly given as required by law and in accordance with the provisions of the Anaheim
Municipal Code, Chapter 18.60 "Procedures", to hear and consider evidence for and against said

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:
i. That the petitioner requests waivers of the Following to amend apreviously-

tent which is used for outdoor dining and events in conjunction with an existing restaurank and
continue the sale ofalcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption:

(a) SECTION NO. 18.04.100.010
(b) SECTION NO. 18.42A40.010
(c) SECTION NO. 18.46.110.030
Minimum Front Yard Setback _ _. _.
(I-foot proposed to ultimate right-of-
way boundary; 15 feet required).,
Minimum Number of Parking Spaces
(59 spaces existing and proposed;
112 spaces required).
Maximum Fence Heieht
(6 feet high proposed within the front
yard setback; 3 feet high permitted).
2. That special circumstances apply to the subject property because the property is
unique in size and shape in comparison to the surrounding C-G zoned properties. The property
has a narrow frontage and deep lot configuration and is occupied with a historically significant
building that is setback 89 feet from the Anaheim Boulevard frontage. Since the lot width,
depth, configuration, and orientation of the building are existing conditions of the property, these
site constraints would make it difficult to further develop the property without the need For the
requested waivers.
3. That the parking waiver is hereby approved based on the conclusions contained in
a previously approved parking waiver in conjunction with Conditional Use Permit No. 2005-
05037. The study indicates that two off-site locations, a valet parking service, and curbside
parking along Anaheim Boulevard and Midway Manor Street provide additional overflow
parking for the restaurant. The total amount of pazking on the subject site and the off-site
locations combined is 138 spaces, which is 26 spaces in excess of the Code requirements.
Moreover, this request far an accessory dining building does not increase the parking
requirement because the previously-approved parking waiver included the outdoor dining area in
the same area where the accessory building will be located. Therefore, based on the information
contained in the parking study, the requested parking variance will not cause fewer off-street
parking spaces to be provided for the proposed use than the number of such spaces necessary to
accommodate all vehicles attributable to such use under the normal and reasonably foreseeable
conditions of operation of such use.
4. That the request to construct an accessory dining building to include the sale of
alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption in conjunction with an existing restaurant in
the General Commercial (C-G) zone is properly ane for which a conditional use permit is
authorized by Anaheim Municipal Cade Section 18.08.030.010 (Alcoholic Beverage Sales - Off-
Sale).
5. That the proposed outdoor dining area and alcoholic beverage sales and
consumption would not adversely affect the adjoining commercial and residential land uses and
the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be Located.
6. That the size and shape of the site for the outdoor dining area is adequate to allow
the full development of the proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area nor to
the health, safety and general welfare of the public.
_2- PC2008-113
7. That the traffic generated by the restaurant would not impose an undue burden
upon the streets and highways designed and improved ko carry the traffic in the area because the
restaurant is consistent with the types of commercial uses along Anaheim Boulevard.
8. That the Anaheim Police Department recommends approval of the proposed
dining area and sales of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption and recommends
conditions of approval that are described in Exhibit "B" attached hereto and incorporated by this
reference.
9. That no persons indicated their presence at said public hearing in opposition; and
that no correspondence was received in opposition to the subject request.
