and determine the following facts:
1. That the proposed use is properly one for which a conditional use permit is
authorized by Anaheim Municipal Code Sections 18.41.050.135, 18.84.061 and 18.84.062.031 to
construct a 99,454 sq. ft. planned commercial office/light industrial complex in seven buildings with a

boundary lines. 0 feet required; none to 67
fee proposed)
2. That waiver (a), required lot frontage, is hereby approved on the basis that there
are special circumstances applicdble to this oddly-shaped property which prevents all lots from fronting on
a public street, public alley or private street; and that since the properry is oddly-shaped, there are no
special privileges granted in connection with the approvai of this waiver.
3. That waiver (b), minimum parking lot landscaping, is hereby approved on the
basis that the odd shape of this property prevents the design of an efficient parking lot which provides
Code-required parking and landscaped planters without allowing the propos~d eight specific areas ±o have
11 and/or 12 spaces in a row (instead of a maximum of 10 as required by Co;~te); and that considering the
shape of tho property and the minimal deviation from Code standards, thei:e are no special privileges
granted in conJunction with granting this waiver.

the 5-foot landscapzd setback of the trash enclosure ad;acent to the west property line will have no impact
to the adjoining property; and that due to the shape of the properry and the minimal impact oE the
proposed setbacks to interior property lines, there are no special privileyes granted in connection with lhe
approval of this waiver.
5. That the proposed use is properly ona for which a conditional use permit is
authorized by the Zoning Code.
6. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the adjoining land uses and the
growth and development of the area in which it is p~oposed to be located; and lhat the size of the property
is large enough to accommodate the development of this proposed office/Iight industrial complex.
7. 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 particu~ar area nor to the peace,
health, safety and general welfare.
8. That the tra~c generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue burden
upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area.
