the Anaheim Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, said Commission, after due inspection,

after due consideration of all evidence and reports offered at

WHEREAS, the City Council does find, after careful

all evidence and reports offered at said public hearing before the
City Council, that all of the conditions and criteria set forth in
-2-
Section 18.05.050.050 of the Anaheim Municipal Code are not
present for the £ollowing 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 because:
a. The subject property is located in the COMMERCIAL,
LIMITED (CL) ZONE of the City which allows certain
commercial business activities.
b. The subject property is surrounded by
single-family residences to the north; residential
condominiums to the east; the Santa Ana Freeway to
the south; and commercial offices to the west.
c. Elevation plans show a ZS-foot high tower
incorporated into the building design and attached
to the south side of the building which tower is
incompatible with adjacent land uses.
d. The proposed motel use of the subject property
will generate additional vehicular traffic and
noise from patrons, especially during late evening
and early morning hours and weekends, which are
not generated by typical commercial uses permitted
in the zone and which will adversely affect the
peace of the neighborhood and the quiet enjoyment
of surrounding properties; and
Z. That the size and shape o£ 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 because:
a. Development plans for the proposed motel are
designed to encroach into the structural setback
required by the Zoning Code.
b. Full development of the proposed use would require
either a larger parcel to avoid the aforesaid
encroachment, or a redesign of the project; 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 because:
a. The proposed motel use would generate high volumes
of vehicular traffic through residential
neighborhoods.
b. A high percentage of the vehicle drivers (motel
patrons) would be people unfamiliar with the
neighborhood or location of the motel.
'3-
c. Street access to the proposed use is by way of
Wilshire Avenue which, due to its design, location
and character is unsuitable £or larger volumes of
transient traffic by drivers unfamiliar with the
street or the area; 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 because:
a. The proposed motel use is a 24-hour commercial
operation which would involve traffic and patron
noise during late evening and early morning hours
(and weekends).
b. Wilshire Avenue is used as a pedestrian way and by
children and others who would be imperiled by high
volumes of vehicular traffic along said street
(especially by drivers unfamiliar with the area).
c. The aforesaid noise and traffic which the proposed
use would generate are incompatible with the
adjacent residential uses, would adversely affect
the peace and safety of the neighborhood, and are
inimical to the quiet enjoyment of the surrounding
property; and
WHEREAS, said application requests waivers of the
following provisions of the Anaheim Municipal Code:
Section 18.44.065.010 - Minimum structural setback.
[10 feet along Wilshire Avenue
required; 5 to 15 feet existing)
WHEREAS, the City Council does find, after careful
consideration of the action of the Planning Commission 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 18.05.040.050 of the Anaheim Municipal Code
are not present, and that said waivers should be denied, for the
following reasons:
1. That the project applicant has failed to demonstrate
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 because.
Z. That the project applicant has failed to demonstrate
that strict application of the zoning code does not deprive the
property of privileges enjoyed by other property under identical
zoning classification in the vicinity because.
