PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT
DATE: DECEMBER 5, 2022
SUBJECT: DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION NO. 2021-00228
LOCATION: 1236 North Magnolia Avenue
APPLICANT/PROPERTY OWNER: The applicant is Blair Dahl of Goodman North
America Management, and the property owner is Hsiui Shen of Grand Design Investment,
LLC.
REQUEST: The applicant requests approval of a conditional use permit to operate an
Outdoor Storage Yard for oversized vehicles and trailers.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission determine
that a Common Sense Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) (Public Resources Code, Sections 21000-21189.57) as set forth in Sections
15061 (b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14,
Chapter 3, Sections 15000-15387) is the appropriate environmental documentation for
this request; and adopt the attached resolution approving Development Application No.
2021-00228.
BACKGROUND: The subject property is 2.74 acres in area and is currently vacant. In
February of 2022, a demolition permit was issued to demolish a 29,221 square-foot
medical office building on the property. The building had remained tenantless for several
years, and the property had been part of several code enforcement cases related to graffiti,
overgrown landscaping, and loitering. All code enforcement cases have been closed. The
property is in the “I” Industrial Zone and is designated for Industrial land uses in the
General Plan. The project site is bordered by industrial uses to the north, south, east, and
west across Magnolia Avenue.
PROPOSAL: The applicant proposes to operate a logistics company that would store
53-foot trailers and shipping containers that are transported on a chassis. The site would
be accessible to employees dropping off or picking up trailers on a 24-hour basis through
a motorized gate on Magnolia Avenue. A pedestrian access gate would also be provided
at the front of the property. The site is designed to accommodate a total of 74 trailer
parking stalls and will provide 4 automobile parking stalls. The entire perimeter of the
property will be enclosed with a 10-foot screen wall and fence. The Magnolia

Avenue wall would be constructed of a split-face, concrete masonry unit material and would
provide enhanced landscaping to help visually soften the wall and provide additional screening of
the outdoor vehicle storage. The fencing along the north and south perimeter would be constructed
of wrought iron and would include a faux ivy screen. The existing chain link fence at the east
perimeter would provide vinyl inserts and would not be visible to the public right-of-way. The
property would be repaved in its entirety and striped to meet the City Standard Details related to
parking requirements. No buildings are proposed as part of the project.

PROPOSED SCREEN WALL AND FENCE
FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS:
Conditional Use Permit: Before the Planning Commission may approve a conditional use permit,
it must make a finding of fact that the evidence presented shows that all of the following conditions
exist:
1) That the proposed use is properly one for which a minor conditional use permit or a
conditional use permit is authorized by this code;
2) That the proposed use will not adversely affect the adjoining land uses, or the growth and
development of the area in which it is proposed to be located;
3) That the size and shape of the site proposed for the use 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) That 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; and
5) That the granting of the minor conditional use permit or conditional use permit under the
conditions imposed, if any, will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens
of the City of Anaheim.
As listed in the Anaheim Municipal Code (AMC), the “Outdoor Storage Yard” use is permitted
by right in the industrial (I) zone. However, the request includes the storage of oversized vehicles,
which is subject to the approval of a conditional use permit. The proposed request would not
Development Application No. 2021-00228
December 5, 2022
Page 4 of 5
adversely affect the adjoining land uses or development of the area as the storage of oversized
vehicles and trailers would be located behind an adequate screen wall and would be located in an
area of the City that has similar industrial type uses. The gate into the site will be open during
operating hours to ensure trucks are able to enter the property completely into a 100-foot wide,
267-foot deep queueing area. A clearly delineated “Stop” line will identify the point where
inbound trucks will stop and de-couple from their trailer. A yard mule will then maneuver the
trailer into a stall for storage. The size and shape of the property is adequate to accommodate the
proposed use, and the property would provide sufficient parking to meet the off-street parking
requirements listed in the AMC. The AMC requires 4 parking spaces for the proposed use, which
are provided at the center of the property.
Conditions of approval are included in the draft resolution to ensure that the outdoor storage use
will be properly maintained on-site and that the operation does not become a nuisance to the area
and neighboring industrial uses. The applicant utilized traffic data counts from three similar trailer
storage lots in southern California which identified approximately 90 daily trips for the uses, with
an average of 5 trips during the AM/PM peak hours. The Public Works Traffic Engineering
Division has evaluated the proposed use through a Trip Generation Memo and a Vehicle Miles
Traveled (VMT) Screening Evaluation. The results provided in the documents indicate that the
traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue burden upon the streets and
highways, as they are designed and improved to carry the projected traffic in the area. Since the
proposed use would operate as an outdoor storage yard, the daily expected trips would be less than
the previous medical office use on the property. The granting of the conditional use permit for the
use under the conditions imposed would not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens
of the City of Anaheim.
Environmental Impact Analysis: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission find that the
effects of the proposed project are Exempt from the requirements to prepare additional
environmental documentation per California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines,
Section 15061 (b)(3) – Common Sense Exemption. The proposed project includes the construction
and operation of a surface-level trailer parking facility including minor grading, paving, fencing,
drainage, lighting, striping and driveway expansion in compliance with existing regulatory
requirements. Trip generation from the proposed project is less than the previously operating
medical office building. All grading and excavation activities will be carried out in accordance
with the Soil Management Plan dated May 4, 2022. Therefore, the proposed project is covered by
the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for
causing a significant effect on the environment.
CONCLUSION: Staff believes that the outdoor storage of oversized vehicles at the project site
would be compatible with the existing industrial uses in the surrounding area. The proposed use
would be consistent with the zoning and General Plan land use designation for the property, and
the project is designed and conditioned to ensure that the storage of the oversized trailers would
not impact surrounding properties. Based on the analysis included in this report and the findings
in the draft resolution, staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve this request.

OF ANAHEIM APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO
ALLOW THE STORAGE OF OVERSIZED VEHICLES AND
MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2021-00228)
(1236 North Magnolia Avenue)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (the "Planning
Commission") did receive a verified petition to approve a Conditional Use Permit to operate an
Outdoor Storage Yard for oversized vehicles and trailers. (the “Proposed Project”), on certain real
property located at 1236 North Magnolia Avenue in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State
of California, as generally depicted on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this
reference (the "Property"); and
WHEREAS, the Property is approximately 2.74 Acres in area and is currently vacant.
The Land Use Element of the General Plan designates this property for Industrial land uses. The
property is located in the “I” Industrial Zone. The development standards and regulations of
Chapter 18.10 (Industrial) of the Anaheim Municipal Code (the “Code”) apply to the Proposed
Project; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in
the City of Anaheim on December 5, 2022, at 5:00 p.m., with notice of said public hearing having
been duly given as required by law and in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 18.60
(Procedures) of the Code, to hear and consider evidence for and against proposed Conditional Use
Permit and to investigate and make findings and recommendation in connection therewith; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.; herein referred to as
“CEQA”), the State of California Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental
Quality Act (Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations; herein referred to as the "CEQA
Guidelines"), and the City's CEQA Procedures, the City is the "lead agency" for the preparation
and consideration of environmental documents for the Proposed Project; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds that the effects of the Proposed Project are
Categorically Exempt from the requirements to prepare additional environmental documentation
per CEQA Guidelines, Section 15061 (b)(3) – Common Sense Exemption. The proposed project
includes the construction and operation of a surface-level trailer parking facility including minor
grading, paving, fencing, drainage, lighting, striping and driveway expansion in compliance with
existing regulatory requirements. Trip generation from the proposed project is less than the
previously operating medical office building. All grading and excavation activities will be carried
out in accordance with the Soil Management Plan dated May 4, 2022. Therefore, the proposed
project is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have
the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment; and
- 2 - PC2022-***
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 Conditional Use Permit, does find and determine the
following facts:
1. The Proposed Project is properly one for which a conditional use permit is
authorized as an allowable use within the Industrial zone under subsection .100 of Section
18.10.030 (Uses) of Chapter 18.10 (Industrial Zones) and subsection .150 of Section 18.38.200
(Outdoor Storage) of Chapter 18.38 (Supplemental Use Regulations) of the Code, subject to a
conditional use permit for Outdoor Storage Yard uses.
2. The Proposed Project, as conditioned herein, would not adversely affect the
adjoining land uses, or the growth and development of the area because the project would be
consistent in use and would operate similarly to the adjacent industrial uses in the area. The
proposed improvements on the Property are consistent with the required on-site improvements in
the Industrial zone, with adequate screening from the public right-of-way.
3. The size and shape of the site is adequate to allow the full operation of the Proposed
Project in a manner not detrimental to either the particular area nor to the health and safety of the
public because the industrial site can accommodate the required parking, vehicle access, and
circulation without creating detrimental effects on adjacent properties.
4. The traffic generated by the Proposed Project would not impose an undue burden
upon the streets and highways, as they are designed and improved to carry the anticipated traffic
generated by the Proposed Project. Additionally, the site will not exceed the anticipated volumes
of traffic or daily trips, as the City Traffic Engineering Department has confirmed the findings
through the review of a project-specific Trip Generation Memo and Vehicle Miles Traveled
(VMT) Screening Evaluation.
5. The granting of the conditional use permit would not be detrimental to the health
and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim because the Proposed Project would be
compatible with the industrial uses in the surrounding area, subject to compliance with the
conditions contained herein; and
WHEREAS, this Planning Commission determines that the evidence in the record
constitutes substantial evidence to support the actions taken and the findings made in this
Resolution, that the facts stated in this Resolution are supported by substantial evidence in the
record, including testimony received at the public hearing, the staff presentations, the staff report
and all materials in the project files. There is no substantial evidence, nor are there other facts, that
negate the findings made in this Resolution. This Planning Commission expressly declares that it
considered all evidence presented and reached these findings after due consideration of all
evidence presented to it.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that pursuant to the above findings, this
Planning Commission does hereby approve the Conditional Use Permit, contingent upon and

Attention: Ivan Orozco, Associate Planner
200 S. Anaheim Blvd.
Anaheim, CA 92805
RE: 1236 N. Magnolia – APLN-DEV2021-00228 - Letter of Operation
The anticipated tenant for this project is a company engaged in third party logistics (3PL). The
type of vehicle will be a tractor pulling a 53 foot trailer or shipping container on a chassis. The
trailer storage yard use was selected for analysis because it represents the most likely and most
intensive use.
The included 74 trailer stalls are striped at 12’ x 53’. Our traffic engineer (Urban Crossroads) has
utilized traffic count data from three (3) similar trailer storage lots in Southern California to
prepare VMT screening and traffic memos. The count data from these three (3) locations in
Urban Crossroads traffic memo indicate that we can expect approximately 90 actual trips per day
and 188 total PCE’s. Many of the trailers will be parked at customer facilities overnight or will be a
single trip in for storage after unloading. A 3PL customer by typically try to avoid peak hour
activity. On the order of +/- 5% of the daily trips will occur during AM/PM peak hours. A yard
“mule” will be utilized as part of the operation to more efficiently move and park trailers.
The site will operate as much as 24/7 and have a motorized gate at the entry. 24/7 access to the
lot is critical so that the operator can avoid peak traffic times. The gate into the site will be open
during operating hours to facilitate smooth ingress and egress reducing the chance of traffic
delay. The plan will not result in cueing backups due to the +100’ wide, 267’ deep drive aisle
aligned with the 55’ wide drive approach. A clearly delineated “Stop” line will identify the point
where inbound trucks will stop and de-couple from their trailer. A yard mule will then maneuver
the trailer into a stall for storage. The lot will have an attendant/guard onsite during operating
hours to ensure that trucks shall not queue in the ROW. After hours the access to the site will be
gained through a motorized gate entrance operated by remote, lot personnel or guard.
Trucks will approach the site utilizing City truck routes in the following manner: Eastbound on the
SR91 trucks will exit onto southbound Beach Boulevard, turn left on La Palma, left on Magnolia
and then right into the site. Westbound trucks on the SR91 will exit at Brookhurst southbound,
right/west on La Palma, right on Magnolia and right into the site. Trucks traveling on the south
bound I5 freeway will also follow the southbound Beach Blvd., to La Palma route or exit to
northbound Brookhurst St., turn left/west on La Palma Ave., then right onto Magnolia Ave. and
right into the site. Trucks traveling northbound on I5 will exit at La Palma, turn left/west, then right
on Magnolia and right into the site. Trucks leaving the site onto northbound Magnolia Ave., will be
able to travel north and south on either the SR91 or I5 on-ramps just north of the site.
The project will include pole mounted (29’) LED parking lot lighting based on the plan submitted.
The average lighting level is designed to be 2.61 Fc with a maximum 6.1 Fc and 1.0 Fc minimum.
The nearest residentially zoned property is north of the 5 freeway so there are no sensitive
receptors in the near project vicinity. The property is zoned industrial and is surrounded by other
commercial uses. Incidental noise from operations will fall within levels expected in the industrial
zone.
ATTACHMENT NO. 2
From Magnolia Ave., the project will present with a 10’ tall split face masonry wall with a 15’ wide
landscape buffer planted with 24’ Brisbane Box trees planted on 12’ centers. The tree canopies
will grow together and provide effective screening above the wall height. The wall will be planted
with climbing vines to reduce opportunities for graffiti. Additional improvements will include 10’
tube steel fencing along the north and south property lines inclusive of screening material. An
existing chain link fence along the east P/L will be fitted with slats to provide screening. The lot is
proposed to be paved with 6” thick poured in place concrete which is the most durable paving
material for the intended use. Concrete also provides greater reflectivity than asphalt and reduces
the heat island effect. The project will employ vegetative swales at the perimeter to filter the first
flush of rainwater. These swales will lead to an underground storm water storage/infiltration
system to detain storm water and comply with State and Regional WQMP regulations. A double
bin masonry trash enclosure will be located just north of the drive approach along the west fence
line.
