compliance with the requirements of CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines; and Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program No. 106C (MMP No. 106C); and other previously -approved
environmental documents for development in the Platinum Triangle area, serve as the appropriate
environmental documentation in connection with the Proposed Project (collectively the "CEQA
Documents"); that the approved mitigation measures continue to be appropriate for the project;
that no further envirommental documentation needs to be prepared under CEQA for the Proposed
Project; and
WHEREAS, none of the conditions described in Sections 15162 or 15163 of the State
CEQA Guidelines calling for the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR or negative
declaration have occurred, specifically:
1. There have not been any substantial changes in the Proposed Project that require
major revisions of the CEQA Documents because of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
2. There have not been any substantial changes with respect to the circumstances
under which the Proposed Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the CEQA
Documents due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
3. There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and
could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time FSEIR No. 339
was certified as complete or the other CEQA Documents were adopted, that shows any of the
following: (a) the Proposed Project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in
FSEIR No. 339 or the other CEQA Documents; (b) significant effects previously examined will
be substantially more severe than shown in FSEIR No. 339 or the other CEQA Documents; (c)
mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible will, in fact, be feasible and
will substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the Proposed Project, but the Owner
declines to adopt the mitigation measures or alternatives, or (d) mitigation measures or alternatives
which are considerably different from those analyzed in FSEIR No. 339 or the other CEQA
- 3 - PC2026-002
Documents will substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the
Owner decline to adopt the mitigation measures or alternatives; 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 an amendment to a Minor Conditional Use Permit, does find
and determine the following facts:
1. The underlying zoning designation and General Plan land use designation have not
changed since the approval of the amended OCVIBE Project in 2024, which included the Proposed
Project as a component of the OCVIBE Master Site Plan.
2. The MCUP amendment to modify the OCVIBE Mural Plan will not require any
new waivers of code requirements
3. The MCUP amendment to modify the OCVIBE Mural Plan will not substitute or
amend conditions of approval.
4. The MCUP amendment to the OCVIBE Mural Plan is limited to a minor
modification to the location and size of five previously approved murals in the Mural Plan that
will be located on Buildings 1 and 2. As the OCVIBE project has advanced through the design
process, the final building design has necessitated minor changes in location and size of these
previously approved murals.
5. The nature of the approved use will not change as the OCVIBE Mural Plan
previously authorized murals as part of the overall development of public art in the OCVIBE
project.
6. The minor modification to the five murals will not intensify the land use of the
OCVIBE project as the murals are an aesthetic enhancement that will not generate new activities,
traffic, or noise.
7. The project will continue to comply with all applicable building, fire, and safety
codes. Therefore, the MCUP will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, nor
materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and
WHEREAS, the 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 presentation, 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. The 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, pursuant to the above findings, the Planning
Commission does hereby approve the amendment to the Minor Conditional Use Permit, in the
form presented at this meeting, contingent upon and subject to (1) the adoption of resolutions to
approve a Final Site Plan for Residential Phase I and a Minor Amendment to the OCVIBE Master
Site Plan; Tentative Tract Map No. 19395 for an 11-lot subdivision; and a Minor Deviation for
exterior sound attenuation for outdoor common recreational areas; and (2) the conditions of
approval set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, which
- 4 - PC2026-002
replaces in its entirety conditions from the previously approved Resolution set forth in Exhibit B
of Planning Commission Resolution No. 2025-046 which are hereby found to be a necessary
prerequisite to the proposed use of the Property in order to preserve the health, safety and general
welfare of the citizens of the City of Anaheim.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does hereby find and
determine that adoption of this Resolution is expressly predicated upon 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.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION was adopted at the Planning Commission meeting of
January 12, 2026.
