WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in

duly given as required by law and in accordance with the provisions of the Anaheim Municipal
Code, Chapter 18.60 "Procedures to hear and consider evidence for and against said proposed

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,

1 PC2009 -124
1. The facts necessary to support each and every finding for the original approval of the
entitlement as set forth in this chapter exist.
2. The permit is being exercised substantially in the same manner and in conformance
with all conditions and stipulations originally approved.
3. The permit is being exercised in a manner not detrimental to the particular area and
surrounding land uses, nor to the public peace, health, safety and general welfare as there have not
been any code violations on this property.
4. With regard to the deletion of Condition No. 5 that a person under twenty one years of age
be permitted to sell beer and wine and Condition No. 6 pertaining to the sales of single- serving alcoholic
beverages, such deletion is appropriate because it has been demonstrated that the use has operated in a
manner that is appropriate in the underlying zone and the surrounding area.
5. The existing use at the time of approval was properly one for which a conditional use
permit was authorized by the Zoning Code.
6. The use, as amended, will not adversely affect the adjoining land uses and the growth
and development of the area in which it is located as the convenience market has been operating in
conformance with all conditions of approval and there have been no code violations on the property.
7. The size and shape of the site for the existing use is adequate to allow the full
development of the use, in a manner not detrimental to either the particular area or health and safety
as the convenience market has been operating in conformance with all conditions of approval and
there have been no code violations on the property.
8. The traffic generated by the existing use will not impose an undue burden upon the
streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area as the convenience
market has been operating in conformance with all conditions of approval and there have been no
code violations on the property or complaints of parking or traffic impacts.
9. Police Department recommends approval of the request to delete the conditions of
approval. Based upon research of crime statistics for the area and calls for service to this location,
there is no indication of any identifiable problems associated with the existing sales of singles.
WHEREAS, the proposed project falls within the definition of Categorical
Exemptions, Class 1 (Existing Facilities) as defined in the State CEQA Guidelines, and is therefore,
exempt from the requirement to prepare additional environmental documentation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Anaheim City Planning
Commission, for the reasons hereinabove stated does hereby approve the proposed amendment to
Conditional Use Permit No. 2003- 04823, as previously amended, to delete Condition Nos. 5 and 6 of
Resolution No. PC2006 -53 pertaining to the deletion of the restriction of anyone under the age of 21
selling alcoholic beverages as requested by staff and the single sales of beer and wine as requested
by the applicant and.
