CUP 3309
WHEREAS, the City Council does find, after careful
consideration of the action of the Zoning Administrator and all
evidence and reports offered at said public hearing before the
City Council, that all of the conditions and criteria set forth in
Section 18.03.030.030 of the Anaheim Municipal Code are not
present for the following reasons:
1. That the proposed use will adversely affect the
adjoining land uses and the growth and development of the area in
which it is proposed to be located for the following reasons:
(a) That subject property, in terms of its use as
a children's pre-school, is at an unsuitable location
because it is located on Dale Avenue (an arterial
highway) between the off-set intersection of Yale and
Tyler Avenues which streets are less than 75 feet apart;
[b) that the proposed vehicle drop-off and parking
area is in the yard along Dale Avenue with a single
driveway providing entrance and exiting from Dale Avenue
close to possible traffic conflicts caused by vehicles
entering Dale from both Yale and Tyler Avenues;
[c) that the parking area design may encourage an
unsafe traffic condition wherein drivers back into Dale
Avenue because they cannot easily turn around on-site
and "head" out onto Dale;
(d) that said yard along Dale Avenue is not large
enough to allow re-design of the parking area as a
"circular" driveway wherein drivers could enter said
parking area and exit it continuously one-way; and
[e) That subject property is not suitable for use
as a children's pre-school because (i) the 27 to 42-foot
deep children's play area abuts an existing single
family residence along almost the entire east property
line and the outdoor activities of 45 children will
potentially have an adverse noise and disturbance impact
on said adjacent single family residence and (ii) that
the size of the yard along Dale Avenue in terms of its
use as a parking and drop-off area is too small because
the 4 proposed parking spaces are in tandem to one
another thereby limiting their functionality, because
lack of on-site turning space may cause drivers to back
their cars into Dale Avenue, and because lack of on-site
space may cause conflicts when drivers try to enter and
exit the drop-off area using the single driveway
simultaneously; and
2. That the size and shape of the site proposed for the use
is not adequate to allow the full development of the proposed use
in a manner not detrimental to the particular area nor to the
peace, health, safety, and general welfare for the reasons set
-2- CUP 3309
forth in subparagraphs (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Paragraph 1
above; and
5. That the traffic generated by the proposed use will
impose an undue burden upon the streets and highways designed and
improved to carry the traffic in the area for the reasons set
forth in subparagraphs (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Paragraph 1
above; and
4. That the granting of the conditional use permit would be
detrimental to the peace, health, safety, and general welfare of
the citizens of the City of Anaheim for the reasons set forth in
Paragraphs 1, 2 and 5 above; and
WHEREAS, said application requests waivers of the
following provisions of the Anaheim Municipal Code:
Sections 18.04.042.020 Structural setbacks and yards.
and 18.12.060.050 (No parking or play areas
permitted in required side
yards; parking and play areas
proposed).
WHEREAS, the City Council does find, after careful
consideration of the action of the Zoning Administrator and all
evidence and reports offered at said public hearing before the
City Council regarding said requested waivers, that all of the
conditions of Section 18.05.040.030 of the Anaheim Municipal Code
are not present, and that said waivers should be denied, for the
following reasons:
1. That no evidence was presented demonstrating that there
are special circumstances applicable to the property, including
size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, which do not
apply to other property under identical zoning classification in
the vicinity.
2. That no evidence was presented demonstrating that strict
application of the zoning code deprives the property of privileges
enjoyed by other property under identical zoning classification in
the vicinity.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of
the City of Anaheim said conditional use permit be, and the same
is hereby, denied for the reasons hereinabove specified, and that
the request of the applicant to permit a pre-school for a maximum
of 45 children on the hereinabove described real property with
waivers of the aforesaid provisions of the Anaheim Municipal Code
be, and the same is hereby, denied.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the time within which
reheatings must be sought is governed by the provisions of Section
1.12.100 of the Anaheim Municipal Code and the time within which
judicial review of final decisions must be sought is governed by
-3- CUP 3309
