A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF ANAHEIM APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO
PERMIT A RECREATION -COMMERCIAL INDOOR USE FOR AN
INDOOR SCREEN GOLF PRACTICE RANGE AND MAKING
CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2024-00046)
(1151 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 for a Recreation —
Commercial Indoor use for an indoor screen golf practice range (the "Proposed Project") on certain
real property located at 1151 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 0.67 acres in area and is developed with a
10,397-square-foot single -story commercial building. The Property is designated for Office -Low
land uses in the General Plan. The Property is in the "C-G" General Commercial Zone and is
subject to the zoning and development standards contained in Chapter 18.08 (Commercial Zones)
of the Anaheim Municipal Code (the "Code"); and
WHEREAS, Recreation —Commercial Indoor uses require a conditional use permit
subject to the approval by the Planning Commission pursuant to Subsection .040 of Section
18.08.030 (Uses); and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in
the City of Anaheim on May 19, 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)
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, Section 15301— Existing Facilities. The Proposed Project is a request for a
conditional use permit for a Recreation —Commercial Indoor use for an indoor screen golf practice
range. The Proposed Project is a request to operate in indoor screen golf practice range in an
existing 10,327 square foot office building with no expansion, and the use an existing 10,327-
square-foot office building, with no expansion, would be consistent with the historic level of office
activity on the subject property and, therefore qualifies for this type of exemption. Pursuant to
Section 15300.2 (c) and Section 15301 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations there are
no unusual circumstances in respect to the 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 properly one for which a conditional use permit is
authorized as an allowable use within the Commercial Zone under subsection .040 of Section
18.08.030 (Uses) of Chapter 18.08 Commercial Zones of the Code, subject to a conditional use
permit for a Recreation —Commercial Indoor use.
2. The Proposed Project, as conditioned herein, will not adversely affect the adjoining
land uses, or the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located because
all activities will take place indoors, with no outdoor operations. The project complies with all
applicable development standards and is not expected to place additional strain on public
infrastructure. It is, therefore, not anticipated to adversely impact surrounding land uses or hinder
future development.
3. 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 because it is adequately sized and shaped to accommodate the proposed use. The indoor
range will occupy an existing building and will not involve any expansion of the structure. The
building is set back 15 feet from Magnolia Avenue and 5 feet from Woodland Drive, and interior
setbacks of 20 and 64 feet. The Floor Area Ratio (0.35) remains below the maximum allowed of
0.50. The proposed use can be fully developed within the existing building without detrimental
effects on adjacent properties or the surrounding area.
4. 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. The proposed use
would not involve new construction or expansion of the existing building; therefore, the existing
infrastructure can accommodate the projected traffic. Moreover, since the business will operate by
appointment only, overall traffic will remain below that of typical indoor commercial recreation
uses. The streets and infrastructure in the area are sufficient to accommodate the expected traffic
volumes. A traffic study or VMT analysis was not required, and no adverse traffic impacts are
anticipated.
5. The granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed will not
be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim because the project
is located adjacent to other similar commercial uses and would be consistent with existing land
- 2 - PC2025-013
use patterns in the area. The project has been designed to ensure that business operations would
not negatively impact neighboring properties. Conditions of approval have been incorporated to
guarantee that the use is well -maintained and remains compatible with the surrounding land uses.
Therefore, granting the conditional use permit with the conditions imposed will not be detrimental
to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim; 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
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 conditional use permit 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
conditions of approval may be granted in accordance with Section 18.60.170 (Extension of Time
to Comply With Conditions of Approval) of the Code. Timing for compliance with conditions of
approval may be amended by the Planning and Building 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
May 19, 2025. Said resolution is subject to the appeal provisions set forth in Chapter 18.60
- 3 - PC2025-013
(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.
