of parking spaces on a rectangularly- shaped parcel of land consisting of
approximately 0.73 acre, having a frontage of approximately 130 feet on the south
side of Katella Avenue (1126 West Katella Avenue); and does hereby approve the
Negative Declaration from the requirement to prepare an environmental impact report
on the basis that there would be no significant individual or cumulative adverse
environmental impact due to the approval of this Negative Declaration since the
Anaheim General Plan designates the subject property for commercial recreation land
uses commensurate with the proposal; that no sensitive environmental impacts are
involved in the proposal; that the Initial Study submitted by the petitioner
indicates no significant individual or cumulative adverse environmental impacts; and
that the Negative Declaration substantiating the foregoing findings is on file in the
City of Anaheim Planning Department.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Anaheim City Planning Commission
does hereby grant subject Petition for Variance, upon the following conditions which
are hereby found to be a necessary prerequisite to the proposed use of the subject
property in order to preserve the safety and general welfare of the Citizens of the

refrigerators; two- burner stoves, excluding oven and baking facilities; and
single compartment sinks; except that the manager's unit will be allowed to
have full kitchen facilities.
3. That Condition Nos. 1, 2, above - mentioned, shall be complied with prior to
final building and zoning inspections.
