CR3339PL.DOC -1- PC98-99
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 use is p~operly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by
Anaheim Municipai Code Section 18.44.050.060 to permit and retain an automobile sales lot with a
maximum of five (5) vehicles on display.
2. That the proposed use is hereby denied.
3. That the proposed use adversely affects the adjoining land uses and the growth and
development of the area in which it is located because an automobile sales facility has the potential for a
significant detrimental impact on the residential properties to the south, west and northwest due to the
noise and high level of outdoor activiry associated with automobile saies agencies.
4. That the size and shape of the site proposed for the use is not adequate to allow full
development of the proposal in a manner not detrimentai to the particular area nor to the peace, health,
safety and general welfare of the Citizens of the City of Anaheim because the property is nc; large enough
to provide an adequate buffer area to reduce detrimental aspects of an automobile sales facility (such as
noise) and protect adjoining residences and the surrounding residential neighborhoods; and that the site
is not large enough to permit full and adequate development as an automobile sales facility in a manner
which will adequately separate the facility from adjoining commercial uses (presentiy furniture and carpet
stores).
5. Thst granting of this conditional use permit would be detrimental to the pe~c2, health,
safety and gene,-al welfare of the Citizens of the City of Anaheim because automobile sales facilities are
unique commerciai businesses which require developmFnt sites independent of non-automotive uses;
and that automobile sales businesses have methods of operation, including circulation, display and
advertising of vehicles, that require locations suitable to such activities.
6. That the tra~c generated by the proposed use will impose an undue burden upon the
streets and highways designed and improved to carry the iraffic is~ tha a; ea because this automobiie sales
lot is not compatible with the commercial strip center in which it is located and with the other retail
commercial businesses (furniture and carpet stores) with which it shares parking and access; and that
submitted pians do not include an on site drop off area for potential truck delivery of vehicles.
7. That two people spoke in favor of thie proposal at the public hearing; and that no one
indicated their presence in opposition and that no correspondence was received in opposition to this
petition.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONM NTA Q A Irv arT Fwninir: That the Anaheim City
Planning Commission has reviewed the proposai to permit and retain an automobile sales lot with a
maximum of five vehicles on display on a 0.37-acre parcel having frontage of 156 feet on the west side of
State College Boulevard, a maximum depth of 102 feet, and being located 150 feet south of the centerline
of Redwood Avenue (329-331 Pdorth State College Boulevard); and does hereby apprnve the Negative
Declaration upon finding that the declaration reflects the independent judgment of the lead agency and
