identified as Portion A on the location map attached to the Staff

PARCEL 4 OF PARCEL MAP 83-250 RECORDED IN BOOK 184,
PAGES 24 THROUGH 25 INCLUSIVE, OF MISCELLANEOUS MAPS OF
THE COUNTY OF ORANGE.
WHEREAS, the City Planning Commission did hold a public
hearing at the Civic Center in the City of Anaheim on November
20, 2000 at 1:30 p.m., notice of said public hearing having been
duly given as required by law and in accordance with the
provisions of the Anaheim Municipal Code, Chapter 18.03, to hear
and consider evidence for and against said proposed
reclassification and to investigate and make findings and
recommendations in connection therewith; and
WHEREAS, within a period of forty (40) days following
said hearing, the Planning Commission did duly adopt a resolution
containing a report of its findings, a summary of the evidence

and
WHEREAS, thereafter, within the time prescribed by law,

hearing, the City Council did hold and conduct such public
hearing and did give all persons interested therein an
opportunity to be heard, and did receive evidence and reports,
and did consider the same; and
WHEREAS, the City Council does determine that the
Zoning Map referred to in Title 18 of the Anaheim Municipal Code
should be amended and that the property hereinabove described
should be excluded from the zone or zones in which it is now
situated and incorporated in the zone and zones as hereinafter
set forth based upon the following findings:.
1. That the proposed amendment to Reclassification No. 77-
78-64 is to permit reclassification of Portion A from the RS-A-
43,000(SC) (Residential/Agricultural - Scenic Corridor Overlay)
Zone to the RS-5000(SC) (Residential, Single-Family - Scenic
Corridor Overlay) Zone or less intense zone.
2. That the Anaheim General Plan currently designates this
property for Hillside Medium Density Residential land uses and
-2-
identifies the property as a Library site; and that the Planning
Commission has recommended General Plan Amendment No. 2000-00382
be adopted to delete the Library designation.
3. That the proposed amendment to permit reclassification
of Portion A to allow family residential development is necessary
and/or desirable for the orderly and proper development of the
community.
4. That the proposed amendment to permit reclassification
of Portion A does properly relate to the zones and their
permitted uses locally established in close proximity to subject
property and to the zones and their permitted uses generally
established throughout the community.
5. That the proposed amendment to permit reclassification
of Portion A is in conformance with the underlying Hillside
Medium Density Residential land use designation, which has a
maximum density of 16 dwelling units per acre, and will encourage
development of single-family detached residences to compliment
the surrounding RS-5000(SC)-zoned single-family neighborhood.
6. That the proposed amendment to reclassify Portion A to
the RS-5000(SC) Zone is a lower residential density than the
maximum allowed by the Hillside Medium Density Residential
designation and is consistent with the surrounding RS-5000(SC)
zoned neighborhood; and that no additional amendments to subject
reclassification will be necessary for developing single-family
residences on this property because a maximum of 945 dwelling
units is permitted by the Bauer Ranch General Plan of
Development, both existing (Revision No. 4 of Exhibit No. 1) and
as recommended to be amended (Revision No. 5 of Exhibit No. 1);
and that a maximum of 907 dwelling units could be developed based
on the existing 888 dwelling units plus 19 potential new dwelling
units on this property.

Anaheim City Council has reviewed the proposal to permit
reclassification of Portion A consisting of an irregularly-shaped
2.27-acre parcel located at the northwest corner of Bauer Road
and Monte Vista Road, and having frontages of 542 feet on the
north side of Bauer Road and 190 feet on the west side of Monte
Vista Road, from the RS-A-43,000(SC) (Residential/Agricultural -
Scenic Corridor Overlay) Zone to the RS-5000(SC) (Residential,
Single-Family - Scenic Corridor Overlay) or less intense zone;
and does hereby approve the Negative Declaration upon finding
