A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF ANAHEIM APPROVING TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 2025-
104 TO SUBDIVIDE AN EXISTING LOT INTO THREE LOTS FOR
FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS IN
CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2024-00043 )
(125 EAST BALL ROAD)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (the "Planning
Commission") did receive a verified petition to approve a tentative parcel map to subdivide an
existing 1.2-acre lot into three lots for future development (the "Proposed Project") on certain real
property located at 125 East Ball Road 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 1.2 acres in area and is currently vacant.
The Property is designated for General Commercial land uses in the General Plan. The Property is
in the Industrial Zone and located in the South Anaheim Boulevard Corridor (SABC) Overlay
Zone, and is subject to the zoning and development standards contained in Chapter 18.10
(Industrial Zones) of the Anaheim Municipal Code (the "Code"); and
WHEREAS, subdivisions require a tentative parcel map subject to the approval by the
Planning Commission pursuant to Subsection .010 of Section 17.08.100 (Advisory Agency
Duties); and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in
the City of Anaheim on April 7, 2025, 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)
and 17.08.095 (Notice and Hearing) 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"), 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, Sections 15303 — New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures and
15315 — Minor Land Divisions. The Proposed Project is a request for a tentative parcel map to
subdivide an existing industrial property into three parcels, construction of a new 1,266 square
foot restaurant with a single drive -through lane, and associated parking and landscaping on a
property that does not have an average slope greater than 20 percent and has not been subdivided
in the past two years. The Proposed Project would be in conformance with the General Plan and
applicable zoning development standards of the Industrial Zone, no variances or exceptions are
required, and all services and access to the proposed parcels meet local standards. Pursuant to
Section 15300.2 (c) and 15315 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, there are no
unusual circumstances in respect to the Proposed Project that would cause 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 Tentative Parcel Map No. 2025-104, does find and
determine the following facts:
1. The proposed map is consistent with the General Plan and applicable specific plan.
The proposed subdivision would create three parcels intended for industrial land uses. Access to
the site would be provided via two driveways from Technology Circle, with a third emergency
access point through an existing gated connection to the west, which leads to the adjacent Walmart
property. The site is designated General Commercial in the General Plan, which allows for a Floor
Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.25 to 0.50. The proposed parcel sizes, ranging from approximately 17,581
to 19,938 square feet, comply with applicable zoning regulations. As such, the proposed
subdivision is consistent with the General Plan.
2. The design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the
General Plan. The design of the proposed subdivision, including density, access, lot width, lot
depth, and lot size meets all the applicable development standards of the Industrial Zone and the
General Commercial land use designation.
3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed development, as it is a flat, regularly
shaped parcel with no physical constraints and adequate street access. These conditions support
the development of a drive -through restaurant on the property.
4. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development. The site is
approximately 1.2 acres in size and is physically suitable to accommodate the proposed three -lot
subdivision, including the Starbucks development. Reciprocal access and parking agreements will
be established to ensure that all three parcels operate in compliance with Code requirements. The
proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Commercial land use designation and the
development standards of the Industrial Zone. The site is capable of supporting development at
the density and Floor Area Ratio permitted under both the land use and zoning designations.
5. 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 because the site is located in an urbanized area and no fish, wildlife, or sensitive
environmental habitats have been observed on the property.
6. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements are not likely to cause
serious public health problems because the subdivision and any future proposed improvements
would be designed to meet all applicable State and City Codes, standards, policies, and rules
intended to protect public health.
7. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with
existing public easements for access or use within the proposed subdivision. All future
improvements will be designed to accommodate any applicable easements and ensure
compatibility with both existing and potential future easements; 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 Tentative Parcel Map. No. 2025-104, contingent upon
and subject to the conditions of approval set forth 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 tentative parcel map is applicable in order to preserve the health,
safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Anaheim. Extensions for further time to
complete the conditions of approval may be granted in accordance with Section 17.08.110
(Expiration of Tentative Map Approval) 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 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 7, 2025. Said resolution is subject to the appeal provisions set forth in Section .100 (Advisory
Agency Duties) of Chapter 17.08 (Subdivisions) of the Anaheim Municipal Code pertaining to appeal
procedures and may be replaced by a City Council Resolution in the event of an appeal.
