PC2026-013 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 2026- 106 TO SUBDIVIDE AN EXISTING INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY INTO TWO LOTS AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH (DEV2025-00059) (1100 AND 1107 EAST KIMBERLY AVENUE) WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (the "Planning Commission") did receive a verified petition for the approval of Tentative Parcel Map No. 2026- 106 (the "Proposed Project") on certain real property located at 1100 and 1107 East Kimberly 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 1.28 acres in area and is developed with two industrial buildings, surface parking, and landscaping. The Property is designated for Industrial land uses in the General Plan. The property is in the "I" 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, 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) of Chapter 17.08 (Subdivisions); 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 June 15, 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) and Section .095 (Notice and Hearing) of Chapter 17.08 (Subdivisions) 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 and Section 15315 — Minor Land Divisions. The Proposed Project is a request for a subdivision that includes minor site improvements consisting of installation of a new sidewalk along the project frontage, restriping of parking spaces, and the relocation of vehicular gates on each proposed lot. As the existing industrial use will remain, operations will be consistent with historic levels of operation on the subject property. The proposed subdivision includes subdividing an industrial property into two parcels while maintaining the existing industrial buildings and uses on -site, in an urbanized area designated for industrial land uses in the General Plan. The proposed subdivision will be in conformance with the General Plan and applicable development standards. All existing services and access to the parcels will be provided in accordance with local standards, the property was not involved in the division of a larger parcel within the previous two years, and the parcels do not have an average slope greater than 20 percent. Pursuant to Sections 15301, 15315, 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 to approve Tentative Parcel Map No. 2026-106, does find and determine the following facts: 1. The proposed map is consistent with the General Plan. The property is designated for Industrial land uses in the General Plan and is located within the Industrial ("I") Zone. The proposed tentative parcel map will subdivide an existing property into two parcels while maintaining the existing industrial buildings and uses on -site. No changes to the permitted land uses are proposed and the subdivision will remain consistent with the Industrial land use designation. 2. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Plan. The subdivision's design is consistent with the General Plan Industrial designation because it will retain the existing industrial development and general circulation while providing minor site improvements, including installing sidewalks, restriping parking areas, and relocating vehicular gates. The site is a flat, urban infill parcel with no known environmental or physical constraints. The proposed subdivision will not alter the character or intensity of development on the site and will remain consistent with the General Plan. The development is also compatible with surrounding land uses, which include existing industrial uses adjacent to and near the site. 3. That the site is physically suitable for the type of development because the property is an existing developed site containing two industrial buildings with associated improvements, such as surface parking, landscaping, and access. Existing public utilities will adequately serve the site with existing direct vehicular access to each parcel. The proposed subdivision will create two parcels, each containing an existing industrial building, and will continue to accommodate industrial uses consistent with the site's zoning and General Plan designation. 4. That the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development as no additional building expansion or increase in development intensity will occur. The subdivision will create two legal parcels while maintaining the existing industrial development and associated improvements. Both industrial buildings will still comply with the maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.50 established by the Industrial Zone. The FAR for Parcel 1 will be 0.48 and Parcel 2 -2- PC2026-013 will be 0.46. Each parcel meets the minimum parking requirements without reliance on shared parking. 5. That 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. The project consists of a minor land division of an existing developed industrial property that will include limited site improvements for sidewalk installation, restriping of parking areas, and relocation of vehicular gates. These improvements are minor and will occur entirely within a previously developed, urbanized site. Furthermore, there are no known sensitive environmental habitats on the subject site. 6. That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems. The subdivision will continue to be served by existing public infrastructure, utilities, access, and parking. Proposed improvements will be designed to meet the development standards of the underlying zone, as well as applicable State and City codes, standards, policies, and rules intended to protect public health. The subdivision will not introduce new land uses or intensify existing operations beyond those currently permitted on the site. 7. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with existing easements acquired by the public for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. All existing easements will remain in place and the proposed parcel configurations will not interfere with public access rights or utility easements serving the property; 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.
