A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM CITY PLANNENG COMMISSION
APPROVING A CLASS 32 CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION AND
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2009-05455 AND VARIANCE NO. 2010 -04807
(DEV2009- 00027)
(2510 WEST ORANGE AVENUE)
WHEREAS, the Anaheim City Planning Commission did receive a verified
Petition for Conditional Use Permit No. 2009 05455, to permit a church pursuant to Code
Section No. 18.60.180 of the Anaheim Municipal Code for certain real property situated in the
City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, shown on Exhibit "A attached hereto
and incorporated herein by this reference;
WHEREAS, this property is currently developed with a pre school facility,
located in the Transition (T) Zone and the Anaheim General Plan designates this property for
Residential Low Medium land uses; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic
Center in the City of Anaheim on March 1, 2010, at 3:30 p.m., notice of said public hearing
having been 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 conditional use permit and to investigate and make findings and recommendations in
connection therewith; and
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. The proposed church use is properly one for which a conditional use permit is
authorized under Code Section No. 18.14.030.040.0402.
2. The proposed church will not adversely affect the adjoining land uses, or the
growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located because church
functions will operate within an expanded existing building and the times and days of church
activities are limited;
3. The size and shape of the site proposed for the church is adequate to allow the full
development of the proposed use, in a manner not detrimental to either the particular area or
health and safety;
4. The traffic generated by the proposed church use will not impose an undue burden
upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area.
5. That parking for the church is determined to be adequate as the use of the
sanctuary and use of the fellowship hall would not occur at the same time. Condition Nos. 25
and 26 of this resolution includes this limitation on the church assembly activities.
1 PC2010 -011
6. The granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed will not
be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim and will provide a
land use that is compatible with the surrounding area.
WHEREAS, the Planning 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 with respect to the request for a variance, does find and determine the
following facts:
1. The applicant requests a variance from the following Code Section to provide less
parking than required by Code:
(a) SECTION NO. 18.42.040.010
(Table 42 -A)
Minimum number of narking_ spaces
(80 spaces required; 43 spaces
proposed)
2. The above mentioned variance, under the conditions imposed, will not cause
fewer off street parking spaces to be provided for such use than the number of such spaces
necessary to accommodate all vehicles attributable to the proposal under the normal and
reasonably foreseeable operation of the use. The parking justification letter submitted by the
applicants indicates that the maximum demand for all combined uses would be 40 spaces for
special events including weddings and the 43 spaces proposed are an adequate parking supply to
accommodate the church use.
3. The parking variance, under the conditions imposed, will not increase the demand
and competition for parking spaces upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity because the
proposed project will not increase or compete for on- street parking and as indicated in the
aforementioned parking justification letter, the proposed parking would be adequate to
accommodate both the proposed peak parking demands.
4. The variance will not increase the demand and competition for parking spaces
upon adjacent properties in the immediate vicinity of the proposed use since all parking is
contained on -site and will not encroach into other surrounding properties.
5. The variance will not increase traffic congestion within the off street parking
areas provided for the proposed use as indicated in the parking justification letter because the
supply of parking spaces is adequate for the proposed uses and there are two driveways for
adequate egress and ingress.
6. The applicant requests a variance from the following Code Sections to
provide a smaller front yard landscape setback area and less parking lot landscaping than
required by Code:
(a) SECTION NO. 18.14.100.010
Minimum front yard setback
(15 -foot wide Iandscaped planter required;
10 to 20 foot wide planter proposed
adjacent to Orange Avenue)
2 PC2010 -011
(b) SECTION NO. 18.46.060.0102 Minimum Parking Lot Landscaping
(deleted)
The above mentioned variance is hereby approved because there are special circumstances
applicable to the property, including its size, location and due to the retention of the existing
building which limits the area available for parking, and required landscaping. Although a 15
foot landscape setback is not provided along the entire property frontage, the 10 to 20 foot wide
landscape setback proposed is substantially more than currently exists on the site and is also
consistent with the adjoining properties to the west and east which have a landscaped setback of
approximately 15 feet.
WHEREAS, the proposed project falls within the definition of Categorical
Exemptions, Class 32 (Infill Development) as defined in the State CEQA Guidelines, and is
therefore, exempt from the requirement to prepare additional environmental documentation.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Anaheim City Planning Commission, for
the reasons hereinabove stated does hereby approves Conditional Use Permit No. 2009 -05435 to
permit a church on property located at 2510 West Orange Avenue and Variance No. 2010-04807
to permit fewer parking spaces and a front yard setback that is less than required by code.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this permit is approved without limitations
on the duration of the use. Amendments, modifications and revocations of this permit may be
processed in accordance with Chapters 18.60A90 (Amendment to Permit Approval) and
18.60.200 (City- Initiated Revocation or Modification of Permits) of the Anaheim Municipal
Code.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Anaheim City Planning Commission
does hereby find and determine that adoption of this Resolution is expressly predicated upon
applicant's compliance with each and all of the conditions hereinabove set forth. Should any
such condition, or any part thereof, be declared invalid or unenforceable by the final judgment of
any court of competent jurisdiction, then this Resolution, and any approvals herein contained,
shall be deemed null and void.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that approval of this application constitutes
approval of the proposed request only to the extent that it complies with the Anaheim Municipal
Zoning Code and any other applicable City, State and Federal regulations. Approval does not
include any action or findings as to compliance or approval of the request regarding any other
applicable ordinance, regulation or requirement.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the applicant is responsible for paying all
charges related to the processing of this discretionary case application within 15 days of the
issuance of the final invoice. Failure to pay all charges shall result in the revocation of the
approval of this application.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION was adopted at the Planning Commission
meeting of March 1, 2010. Said resolution is subject to the appeal provisions set forth in Chapter
18.60 "Procedures" of the Anaheim Municipal Code pertaining to appeal procedures and may be
replaced by a City Council Resolution in the event of an appeal.

Congratulations, your proposed project at 2510 West Orange Avenue was approved by
the Planning Commission on March 1, 2010. The following information details the
final steps for your project.
Appeal Period: There is a 10 -day appeal period before the Planning Commission's
approval of your project becomes final. This appeal period allows you, interested
parties or Council members to set the item for hearing before the City Council. The
appeal period ends on Thursday, March 11, 2010. During this time, you may submit
construction plans to begin plan check. If you have concerns over the approval,
please contact me and I will go over this option with you.
Approval Documentation: The attached resolution will memorialize the approval of
the project and identifies the conditions of approval that need to be met before the
project begins. It also identifies the responsible department for ensuring the
completion and the timing of that condition. Each condition must be addressed
before permits can be issued.
Preparation of Construction Drawings: For plan check, it would be helpful to insert
a sheet in the construction drawings with the resolution for ease of reference. Please
review each of the conditions of approval that is required to be completed prior to
issuance of building permit. To the extent possible, demonstrate compliance with
the condition within the construction drawings.
Building Plan Check Process: Once your plan is submitted for plan check, we will
ensure that your plans are routed to all appropriate departments. Keep in mind that if
you have conditions of approval for other departments, such as Public Works or
Utilities, that your plans should demonstrate compliance with those conditions as
well. Once the individual departments have completed their review, we will contact
you to inform you that corrections are ready to be picked up. This first round of plan
check generally takes 5 -20 business days depending on the complexity of the project.

Some projects may take a few rounds of plan check before the plans are ready for approval.
Once you have obtained approval from all required departments, paid all applicable fees and
demonstrated compliance with all pertinent conditions of approval, the building permit will be
issued.
Chanves to the Permit: In the event that you find it necessary to modify the scope of your
project or the conditions of approval, such as permitted hours of operation, please contact me for
the required procedure. Some changes may require the approval of the Planning Commission.
I will continue to be your planner through the completion of your project, please feel free to
contact me at (714) 765 -4933 or dherrick @anaheim.net if you have further questions. If the
issue requires the direct expertise of other city staff, I will put you in contact with that person.
Also enclosed is a process flow chart showing the remaining steps necessary to complete your
project.
Thank you for choosing Anaheim for your project. Please complete and return the enclosed survey
regarding our process. If there is any way we can improve our service, let us know.
Sincerely,
ella Herrick
