WHEREAS, the City Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at
the Civic Center in the City of Anaheim on October 21, 1991, at 1:30 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 18.03, to
hear and consider evidence for and against said proposed amendments and to
investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; and
that said public hearing was continued to the November 4, 1991 Planning
Commission meeting; and
WHEREAS, the proposed freestanding signs (a 44 foot high, 350 sq.ft.
pole sign advertising the names of the development, major office tenant, hotel
tenant and full service restaurant; and a 61 foot high, 94 sq.ft. monument sign
advertising the fast food restaurant) were denied this date under Resolution
Nos. PC91 -172 and PC91 -173; 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:
1. That the proposed additional uses in the development areas, as
listed herein, will essentially transfer uses previously required to obtain a
conditional use permit to the "Permitted Use" list within Development Area 2,
thereby reducing the number of conditional use permit applications within the
PacifiCenter Anaheim Specific Plan area.
2. That the Redevelopment Commission found the proposed uses to be
consistent with the project Area Alpha Redevelopment Plan.
3. That the property proposed for the Specific Plan has unique site
characteristics such as topography, location or surroundings which are enhanced
by special land use and development standards.
4. That the Specific Plan, as proposed to be amended, is consistent
with the goals and policies of the General Plan and with the purposes,
standards and land use guidelines contained therein.
PC91 -171
5. That the Specific Plan results in development of desirable
character which will be compatible with existing and proposed development in
the surrounding neighborhood.
6. That the Specific Plan contributes to a balance of land uses.
7. That the Specific Plan represents environmental and aesthetic
resources consistent with economic realities.
8. That no one indicated their presence at said public hearing in
opposition; and that no correspondence was received in opposition to the
subject petition.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS: Environmental Impact Report No. 280
certified by the City Council on February 28, 1989 in conjunction with the
approval of Specific Plan No. 88 -3, addressed the environmental impacts and
mitigation measures associated with the development. Staff reviewed the
proposed amendments and the Initial Study and indicated that there will be no
additional impact from the proposed amendment and, therefore, the Planning
Commission determines that subject request is in conformance with the
previously approved EIR No. 280.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Anaheim City Planning
Commission does hereby approved the proposed amendments pertaining to permitted
uses.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION was adopted at the Planning Commission
meeting of November 4, 1991.
