PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT
DATE: APRIL 10, 2023
SUBJECT: DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION NO. 2021-00186
TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 19171
LOCATION: 1226 – 1228 North Olive Street and 501 – 529 East Julianna Street.
APPLICANT/PROPERTY OWNER: The applicant and property owner is Nor-Cal
Beverage Co, Inc., represented by Kevin Cordoza.
REQUEST: The applicant requests approval of a tentative parcel map to consolidate
five existing contiguous parcels into one proposed parcel. No construction is proposed
as part of this request.
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 Tentative Parcel Map No. 19171
(Development Application No. 2021-00186).
BACKGROUND: The project site comprises five separate parcels, totaling 17.13 acres.
The property has frontage on Olive Street, Julianna Street, and Commercial Street. The
property is in the “I” Industrial Zone and is developed with office and industrial buildings.
The property is designated for Industrial land uses by the General Plan. The property is
surrounded by industrial land uses on all sides. The property is home to Nor Cal Beverage
Company which has operated as a juice and beverage packaging facility since the 1940s.
PROPOSAL: Since the 1940s, Nor Cal Beverage Company has constructed minor
alterations to existing buildings and added new buildings to its project site. Upon the
company’s recent submittal of construction drawings for several proposed tenant
improvements, the Building Division identified that certain expansions and building
structures were located across legal property lines within the project site’s parcels, which
is inconsistent with building code requirements. The applicant proposes to consolidate the
site’s five contiguous parcels into one single parcel to resolve the building code
inconsistencies. The project site would continue to provide street access through the
existing driveways located along Olive Street, Julianna Street, and Commercial Street.
The site would also continue to have railroad track access. No physical expansion of the
operation or buildings is proposed as part of this request.

FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS: The following provides staff’s analysis and recommendation for
the requested entitlement action:
Tentative Parcel Map: Before the Planning Commission may recommend approval of the tentative
parcel map, it must make a finding of fact that the evidence presented shows that all the following
conditions exist:
1) That the proposed map is consistent with the General Plan of the City of Anaheim,
and more specifically with the "Industrial" land use designation.
2) That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the
General Plan.
3) That the site is physically suitable for the type of development.
4) That the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of the project.
5) That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to
cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish
or wildlife or their habitat.
6) That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements are not likely to cause
serious public health problems.
Development Application No. 2022-00073
April 10, 2023
Page 3 of 4
7) That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property
within the proposed subdivision.
The proposed tentative parcel map includes consolidating five existing parcels into one parcel.
The proposed map is consistent with the Industrial General Plan designation as the property is
zoned for Industrial uses and developed with a manufacturing use. The design of the subdivision
is consistent with the General Plan as no improvements are proposed on the property. The site is
physically suitable for the type of development and density of the project as it is developed with a
use permitted in the Industrial Zone. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause substantial
environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat , and
are not likely to cause serious public health problems as no changes to the project site are proposed.
The design of the subdivision will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for
access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision.
Any future development of the property would be subject to the zoning and development standards
of the Industrial Zone and would need to be consistent with the Industrial General Plan land use
designation. Staff has included conditions of approval that ensure the proposed parcel map is
consistent with the requirements of Chapter 17 (Land Development and Procedures) and Chapter
18 (Zoning) of the Anaheim Municipal Code. Further, this proposed parcel map would not conflict
with any easements acquired by the public for road, public utility, and other public purposes, as
described on the parcel map; and it complies with all subdivision requirements. Therefore, staff
recommends approval of the tentative parcel map request.
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 request consists of a consolidation of five
existing contiguous parcels into one proposed parcel with no physical expansion or construction
as part of the request. This request will not affect the adjoining land uses, is not anticipated to
cause any detriment to the health and safety of the particular area and would not impose an undue
burden upon the roadways. There are no unusual circumstances with respect to the proposed
project for which staff would anticipate a significant effect on the environment and, therefore, the
proposed project is exempt from the provisions of CEQA.
CONCLUSION: Staff believes that the request to consolidate the five existing parcels into one
parcel meets the goals of the General Plan and zoning of the property, is consistent with the findings
for the tentative parcel map, and is consistent with the industrial uses in the surrounding area as no
expansion of the site or construction is proposed with this request. Staff recommends approval of
the proposed request.

Letter of Operations
Nor-Cal Beverage Company grew from a small soft-drink bottler into the largest
independent beverage co-packager west of the Mississippi, and highly respected
equipment solutions provider is a tale of hard work, horse sense, quick action, and plain
good luck. More than that, it's a story of decency and commitment from the Deary family
and the employees they think of as members of a large, extended family. This unique
combination of old-fashioned values and innovative and forward-thinking business
practices continues to place Nor-Cal Beverage in a class of its own.
Our Anaheim Facility is Situated in Anaheim, California on more than 17 acres in the
heart of long-ago citrus orchards, our Anaheim facility was built in the 1940s to process
Orange County's famed citrus into concentrated juice. Owned by Bing Crosby in the
1950s and purchased by Coca-Cola® Foods
Today we operate several production lines for drinks that today's consumers enjoy
ready-to-drink teas, ades and juices, fortified and sparking waters, and energy drinks.
We produce these beverages in Plastic Bottles and Aluminum cans at speeds of up
1,200 cans per minute.
We have continued our long-planned expansion efforts at the Anaheim facility and are
proud of the work we do to support our customers growth. These projects not only
benefit our customers but create jobs and generate additional tax revenue for the city of
Anaheim.
While executing these expansion efforts it has become apparent, that even though we
have always thought of our property as one large parcel, the fact remains that it is in
fact, made up of many parcels. The joining of these parcels does not change the
fundamentals of how we will operate our business or utilize the parcels. It merely allows
us to share resources such as power, steam, water, etc. across parcel lines while
meeting building code requirements and simplifies the operation of the current business
model.
