WHEREAS, said Cammission, after due inspection, investigation and study
made by itself and in its behalf, and after due consideration of all evidence and reports

1, That the proposed use is properly one for which a conditiorial use permit is
authorized by Anaheim Municipal Code Section 18.44.050.160 to construct an 85,000 sq.
ft., 2-story self-storage facility including one caretaker's unit, and with waivers of the
following:
_ Minimum land~~anPd setback ad'tacent

(b) Section 18.44.063.040 - Minimum lands~aped set~ack a~acent to
a residential zone boundarv.
(c) ~ection 18.44.068 - Required site screenin~(,6 foot high
block wall required; none proposed)
2. That waivers (a) and (b) are hereby denied on the basis that they were
deleted following public notification;
3. That waiver (c), required site screening, is hereby approved, in part, for only
the rear property line where the building wall takes the place of the required block wall;
4. That there are special circumstances applicable to the property consisting of
its location and surroundings, which do not apply to other identically zoned properties in
the vicinity, hecause adequate screening is provided at the east end of the property
(parallel to the alIey) without the construction of a new block wall due to the orientation
of the easterly two-story building; and that absence of a block wall is justified because the
building, which is set back 4 feet from the alley, provides an 18 foot high vertical screening
wall in conjunction with the hedges, shrubs and trees proposed in the adjacent planter;
5. 7'hat strict application of the Zoning Code deprives the property of privileges
enjoyed by other properties under identical zoning classification in the vicinity because site
inspection shows that there are other properties in the immediate vicinity, such as nearby
motels, which also have buildings without block walls located adjacent to the alley right-of-
way;
G> That the proposed use is properly one fer which a conditional use permit is
authorized by the Zoning Code;
7. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the adjuining land uses and
the growth anci development of the area in which it is proposed to be located;

be detrimental to the particular area in which it is located, nor adversely affect the growth
and developrnent of the surrounding area, or be detrimental to the peace, health, safety
or welfare of the surrounding cammunity because the use is similar to, and compatible
with, adjacent land uses;
9. 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;
10. That the minimal traffic generated by the proposed use wilt not impose an
undue burden upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traf~c in
the area;
