required by law and in accordance with the provisions of the Anaheim Municfpal Code, Chapter 18.03, to
hear and consider evidence for and against said proposed reclassification and to investigate and make
fndings and recommendations in connection therewith; and that said public hearing was continued from the
March 30 and April 27, 1998, Planning Commission meetings; and
WHEREAS, said Commission, after due inspection, investigation and study made by itself
and in it~ behalf, and after due consideration of all evidence and reports offered at said hearing, doea find
and determine the following facts:
1. That the petitioner proposes reclassification of subject property from the RM-1000
(Residential, Multiple-Family) Zone to the CL (Commercial, Limited) Zone; and that the existing zoning
was inadvertently advertised as RM-1200 instead of RM-1000.
2. That the Anaheim General Plan designates subject property for General Commercial land
usas,
3, 7hat this property and/or the adjacent properties have been a sand and dirt excavation site,
an Orange Counly Disposal 8tation (cut and cover system) under a Gounty of Orange Use Variance; and
a mobilehome park.
4. That the proposed reclassification of subject property is not necessary nor desirable for the
orderly and proper development of the community; that deveioping the proposed self-storage facility on the
least contaminated portion (3 acres) of the existing 20-acre vacant site is inappropriate because its
developrnent would reduce the likelihood that the entire site would eventually be developed due to the fact
that most of the remaining 17 acres is located over iwo former landfills with extensive leveis of
contamination wfiich will req~~ire substantial remediation; and that adjoining parcels (Parcels 2, 4, 5 and 6
of Tract Nn. 11830) would ultimately have narrow and undevelopable lot confic~urations as a result of this
development.
5. That the proposed rec~assification of subJect property does not properly relate to the zones
and their permitted uses Incally established in close proximity to subject property ~nd to the zones and their
permitted uses generally established throughout the cnmmunity.
6. That three people spo~:e at the public hearing in opposition; and that a petition was received
in opposition to subject petition.
