because it has been demonstrated that the use has operated in a manner that is appropriate in the
underlying zone and the surrounding area. A Report and Recommendation shall be presented to the
Planning Commission as a Consent Calendar item one year from the date of this approval in order to
demonstrate that this business continues to operate in compliance with conditions of approval.

permit was authorized by the Zoning Code.
6. The use, as amended, will not adversely affect the adjoining land uses and the growth
and development of the area in which it is located as the nightclub has been operating in
conformance with conditions of approval along with the approved security plan and further there
have been no code violations on the property.
7. The size and shape of the site for the existing use is adequate to allow the full
development of the use, in a manner not detrimental to either the particular area or health and safety
as the nightclub has been operating in conformance with all conditions of approval and there have
been no code violations on the property.
8. The traffic generated by the nightclub use will not impose an undue burden upon the
streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area as the nightclub has been
operating in conformance with conditions of approval and there have been no code violations on the
property.
9. The granting of the reinstatement 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.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the proposed project falls within the definition of
Categorical Exemptions, Class 1(Existing Facilities) as defined in the State CEQA Guidelines, and is
therefore, exempt from the requirement to prepare additional environmental documentation.
