PC2023-*** A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 1993 TO ALLOW AN EXPANSION OF AN EXISTING DAY CARE CENTER AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH (DEV2019-00014) (1000 - 1004 SOUTH STATE COLLEGE BOULEVARD) WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (the "Planning Commission") did receive a verified petition to approve an amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 1993 to allow an expansion of an existing Day Care Center to construct a new 2,046-square foot day care building with two outdoor play areas (the “Proposed Project”), on certain real property located at 1000 – 1004 South State College Boulevard 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 4.78 acres in area and is currently developed with a church and Day Care Center. The property is designated for Low-Medium Density Residential Uses in the General Plan. The property is also located in the “T” Transitional Zone and is subject to the development standards contained in Chapter 18.14 (Public and Special- Purpose Zones) and Subsection .040 of Section 18.40.040 (Uses Adjacent to Residential Zones or Residential Uses) of the Anaheim Municipal Code (the “Code”); and WHEREAS, Day Care Centers require a conditional use permit subject to the approval by the Planning Commission pursuant to Subsection .010 of Section 18.14.030 (Uses) of the Code; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in the City of Anaheim on April 24, 2023, 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 the Proposed Project 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 15303– New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures. The Proposed Project includes the construction of a new 2,046-square foot building and two outdoor - 2 - PC2023-*** play areas. Pursuant to Section 15300.2 (c) and 15303 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, there are no unusual circumstances in respect to the proposed project for which staff would anticipate a significant effect on the environment and, therefore, the Proposed Project would be categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA; and 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 an allowable use within “T” Transition Zone Section 18.14.030 (Uses) of the Code, subject to a conditional use permit for Day Care Centers. 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 Proposed Project includes an expansion of an existing use and would continue to operate in similar fashion as the existing Day Care Center located on the Property.. 3. The size and shape of the Property are adequate to allow the operation of the Proposed Project in a manner not detrimental to either the particular area or to the health and safety of the public because the Property can accommodate the required parking, vehicle access, and circulation without creating detrimental effects on adjacent properties. The proposed expansion of the Day Care Center would operate similarly to that of the existing Day Care Center. 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 parking layout will be improved to provide additional loading and unloading parking spaces located adjacent to the proposed building that will enhance the vehicle circulation of the site. The Proposed Project will not exceed the anticipated volumes of traffic or daily trips, as the City’s Traffic and Transportation Division of the Public Works Department has confirmed the findings through the review of a project-specific Trip Generation Memo. 5. The granting of the conditional use permit amendment would not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim because the Proposed Project would expand the existing Day Care Center on the subject property which is compatible with the existing 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. - 3 - PC2023-*** NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that pursuant to the above findings, this Planning Commission does hereby amend in their entirety, the conditions of approval adopted pursuant to Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2011-069, amending Conditional Use Permit No. 1993, to read as stated in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, which are hereby found to be a necessary prerequisite to the proposed use of the Property for which the conditional use permit is applicable in order to preserve the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Anaheim.
