A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF ANAHEIM APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO
PERMIT A COMMUNITY & RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY USE AND
MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2025-00030)
(2220 EAST WINSTON ROAD)
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 Community
& Religious Assembly use (the "Proposed Project") on certain real property located at 2220 East
Winston 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 0.44 acres in area and is developed with an
8,116-square-foot industrial building. The Property is designated for Industrial land uses in the
General Plan. The Property is in the Industrial Zone and is subject to the zoning and development
standards contained in Chapter 18.10 (Industrial Zone) of the Anaheim Municipal Code (the
"Code"); and
WHEREAS, Community & Religious Assembly uses require a conditional use permit
subject to the approval by the Planning Commission pursuant to Subsection .040 of Section
18.10.030 (Uses); 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 did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in
the City of Anaheim on February 9, 2026, 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, 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 to
establish a Community & Religious Assembly use within an existing 8,116-square-foot industrial
building for an existing business. The proposed project involves only interior modifications with
no expansion of the building footprint, and operation would be consistent with historic levels of
operation on the subject property. Pursuant to Sections 15301 and 15300.2 of the CEQA
Guidelines, no exceptions to the exemption apply, 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 is 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 Industrial Zone under subsection .040 of Section
18.10.030 (Uses) of Chapter 18.10 (Industrial Zone) of the Code, subject to a conditional use
permit for a Community & Religious Assembly 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 as all
meeting activities will occur entirely within a designated multi -purpose space located within the
footprint of the existing building. Support group meetings will be limited to evening hours only,
when other on -site businesses are generally closed, thereby minimizing potential impacts to
neighboring uses. Parking availability will be greater during these hours, and attendance at the
proposed meetings will range from 20 to 30 attendees. Accordingly, the proposed use will be
compatible with adjacent land uses and will not adversely affect growth and development of the
area.
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 the proposed use will operate entirely within the existing floor area of the
industrial building, with no building expansion or additional square footage proposed. As such,
the project will not introduce new impacts to the built environment. The proposal will result in an
operational change to allow an additional service as part of Recovery Road's existing community
services. These services are intended to provide support for individuals in need and are not
anticipated to result in adverse impacts to public health or safety.
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 because the
proposed use will not generate additional public traffic beyond what currently occurs on site during
regular business hours, as operations will take place primarily in the evening when other on -site
businesses are closed. Accordingly, the anticipated traffic associated with the proposed use will
not adversely affect the capacity of adjacent streets and highways.
5. The granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed, if any,
will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim because the
proposed use will not introduce hazardous conditions to the site, and all group meetings will occur
within the existing industrial building. Additionally, conditions of approval detailed in the draft
resolution have been incorporated to ensure compatibility with the surrounding industrial land
uses; and
- 2 - PC2026-007
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
February 9, 2026. 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.
