1. That this proposal does not include an amusement arcade because only four amusement
devices are proposed and an "amusement device arcade" is defined as containing five or more
devices;
2. That the request is hereby denied on the basis that the crime rate in the reporting district in which
the proposal is located is 116% above average for the City of Anaheim; and that the Police
Department, therefore, recommended denial;
3. That the proposed use is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by the
Zoning Code;
4. That the proposed use will adversely affect the, adjoining land uses and the growth and
development of the area in which it is proposed to be located because of the surrounding area's
high crime rate;
5. That the size and shape of the site for the proposed use is adequate to allow the full development
of the proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area nor to the peace, health,
safety and general welfare because no waivers would be necessary if this proposal were
approved; and
