Attachment 1 - Draft Conditional Use Permit Resolution [DRAFT] ATTACHMENT NO. 1
RESOLUTION NO. 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. Ex tensions for further time to complete conditions of
approval may be granted in accordance with Section 18.60.170 of the Code. Timing for
compliance with conditions of approval may be amended by the Planning Director upon a showing
of good cause provided (i) equivalent timing is established that satisfies the original intent and
purpose of the condition, (ii) the modification complies with the Code, and (iii) the applicant has
demonstrated significant progress toward establishment of the use or approved development.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that any amendment, modification, or revocation of
this permit may be processed in accordance with Chapters 18.60.190 (Amendment of Permit
Approval) and 18.60.200 (Revocation or Modification of Permits) of the Code.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the 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.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that approval of this application constitutes approval of
the proposed request only to the extent that it complies with the Code and any other applicable City,
State and Federal regulations. Approval does not include any action or findings as to compliance or
approval of the request regarding any other applicable ordinance, regulation, or requirement.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION was adopted at the Planning Commission meeting of
April 24, 2023. Said resolution is subject to the appeal provisions set forth in Chapter 18.60
(Procedures) of the Anaheim Municipal Code pertaining to appeal procedures and may be replaced
by a City Council Resolution in the event of an appeal.
