95, adopted a comprehensive update to the General Plan for the City of Anaheim; and
WHEREAS, General Plan Amendment No. 2009 -00475 proposes to amend the

1. Amend `Figure LU -4: Land Use Plan" of the Land Use Element of the General
Plan to redesignate the subject property from the Office Low and Industrial land
use designations to the General Commercial land use designation as shown on
Exhibit "B" attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference as if set

and
WHEREAS, the Anaheim Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the

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, to hear and consider evidence
for and against said proposed project actions, including General Plan Amendment No. 2009-
00475, and to investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; and

offered at said hearing, does hereby find:
1 PC2010 -016
1. That the proposed amendment maintains the internal consistency of the General
Plan, as the proposed modifications to the General Plan are consistent with Goals 3.1 and 3.2 of
the Land Use Element, and Goal 2.1 of the Economic Development Element, of the General Plan
to pursue land uses along major corridors and freeways that enhance the City's image, stimulate
appropriate development at strategic locations, and continue to implement the revitalization goals
of the City's redevelopment project areas.
2. The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health,
safety, convenience, or welfare of the City in that the proposed amendment to the Anaheim
General Plan would result in commercial development opportunities in a strategic location
adjacent to major arterials and a freeway; and
3. The proposed amendment would maintain the balance of land uses within the
City, in that the proposed amendment would provide a commercial asset adjacent to two major
arterials and a freeway; and
4. That the subject property proposed to be designated to a new land use, as depicted
on Attachment A -1, is physically suitable to accommodate the proposed modification, including
but not limited to access, physical constraints, topography, provision of utilities, and
compatibility with surrounding land uses in that:
a. Access to the property would be provided from Anaheim Boulevard, Carl
Karcher Way, and Harbor Boulevard;
b. The proposed project on the property proposed to be designated to the
General Commercial land use will be subject to all Zoning Code
requirements and contains no physical constraints for the development.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Anaheim City Planning
Commission has reviewed the proposal and does hereby find that the Mitigated Negative
Declaration and the associated Mitigation Monitoring Program No. 157 is adequate to serve as
the required environmental documentation in connection with this request upon finding that the
declaration reflects the independent judgment of the lead agency and that it has considered the
Mitigated Negative Declaration together with any comments received during the public review
process and further finding on the basis of the initial study and any comments received that there
is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that pursuant to the above findings, the Anaheim
Planning Commission does hereby recommend that the City Council of the City of Anaheim
approve General Plan Amendment No. 2009- 00475, unconditionally, as described above.
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 for this project. Failure to pay all charges shall result in delays in
the issuance of required permits or the revocation of the approval of this application.
