WHEREAS, said 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 an amendment to the conditional use
permit, does find and determine the following facts:
1. The request to amend the permit for an existing restaurant and public dance hall is
properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized under Code Section No.
18.08.030.040.0402 (Community and Religious Assembly, Bars and Nightclubs, Private
Commercial Recreation Indoor, Alcoholic Beverage Sales) of the Anaheim Municipal Code.
2. The operation of the restaurant and public dance hall will not adversely affect the
adjoining land uses or the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be
located, as conditioned herein, and with the operational restrictions, required food service, valet
parking service, and security plan stipulated by the applicant.
3. The size and shape of the site for the use is adequate to allow the full development
of the proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area or to the health and safety
provided that valet parking service and on -site security is provided to deter any potentially
unlawful conduct and to prevent disturbance to adjacent residential neighborhoods.
4. The traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue burden upon
the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area because the
parking demand can be accommodated on the premises with the valet parking service and on -site
security being provided by the applicant.
5. The granting of the conditional use permit will not be detrimental to the health
and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim because all activities will be conducted within
the building, with the exception of the proposed outdoor patio, which will be enclosed with an 8-
foot high block wall.
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NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the applicant has withdrawn their
request to delete Condition COA 13 pertaining to the percentage of food and alcohol sales;
therefore, Anaheim City Planning Commission does hereby approve an amendment to
Conditional Use Permit No. 2004- 04952C as requested by the applicant.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Anaheim Planning Commission does
hereby amend and restate the conditions of approval adopted in connection with Planning
Commission Resolution No. PC2005 -28, approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2004 04952, to
read as stated in Exhibit "B" attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, which
conditions are hereby found to be a necessary prerequisite to the proposed use of the subject
property in order to preserve the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of
Anaheim. Extensions for further time to complete conditions of approval may be granted in
accordance with Section 18.60.170 of the Anaheim Municipal Code. Timing for compliance

cause provided (i) equivalent timing is established that satisfies the original intent and purpose of
the condition (s), (ii) the modification complies with the Anaheim Municipal Code and (iii) the
applicant has demonstrated significant progress toward establishment of the use or approved
development.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this permit is approved without limitations
on the hours of operation or the duration of the use. Amendments, modifications and revocations
of this permit may be processed in accordance with Chapters 18.60.190 (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, except as expressly amended herein, the
provisions of Resolution No. PC2005 -28, approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2004- 04952,
shall remain if full force and effect.
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.
