recommendations in connection therewith; and
WHEREAS, the Anaheim City Planning 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 a nightclub is a use for which a conditional use permit would be authorized
based upon approval of Adjustment No. 11 to the Northeast Area Specific Plan.
2. That the nightclub would not adversely affect the adjoining industrial land uses
and the growth and development of the azea in which it is proposed to be located provided that
the business adheres to the conditions of approval and the security plan because the business
would operate when most other businesses are closed.
3. That the size and shape of the site is adequate to allow the full development of the
proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particulaz azea nor to the health, safety and
general welfare of the public because the property is currently improved with a restaurant
building and pazking is provided on-site and on the adjacent site to the north.
4. That the traffic generated by the nightclub would not impose an undue burden
upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the trafFic in the azea because the

on-site to accommodate all uses on site.
WI-IEREAS, the proposed project falls within the definition of Categorical
Exemptions, Class 1(Existing Facilities) as defined in the State CEQA Guidelines, and is
therefore, exempt from the requirement to prepare additional environmental documentation.
