A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM
APPROVING AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO SPECIFIC PLAN
NO. 88-1, EXHIBIT A (THE SYCAMORE CANYON SPECIFIC PLAN)
WHEREAS, on February 9, 1988 the City Council of the
City of Anaheim did adopt Resolution No. 88R-69 to approve
Specific Plan No. 88-1, Exhibit A (the Sycamore Canyon Specific
Plan), to provide for development of up to 1,119 residential
dwelling units, 20 acres of commercial uses, 133 acres of
general open space and certain public facilities on property
consisting of 329 acres located on both sides of Weir Canyon
Road approximately 1,650 feet southeast of Santa Ana Canyon
Road; that Exhibit Nos. 4 and 12 contained in the Sycamore
Canyon Specific Plan and the Public Facilities Plan, including
Exhibit No. 6, designate a site consisting of 1.87 acres located
at the southerly terminus of Dream Street approximately 344 feet
south of Monte Vista Road and further described as 8186 South
Dream Street as a Police Substation site; and that Resolution
Nos. 89R-123 and 95R-179 were subsequently adopted to amend said
Resolution No. 88R-69, with the last amendment providing for a
total of 1,204 dwelling units; and
WHEREAS, the Land Use Element of the Anaheim General
Plan currently also designates the above-described 1.87-acre
site at the southerly terminus of Dream Street for a Police
Station, as illustrated on two attachments to the Staff Report
to the Planning Commission dated November 20, 2000 (Figure 2
"Existing" and "Portion B" on the location map); and
WHEREAS, in November 1998, an election was conducted
for the residents of the three planned communities consisting of
Sycamore Canyon, Summit of Anaheim Hills and The Highlands at
Anaheim Hills to determine whether Mello-Roos funds collected
from the three participating community facility districts should
be used to purchase and construct a Police Substation facility
outside the Sycamore Canyon Specific Plan area boundary; that
the residents voted to allow the City of Anaheim to purchase the
former Anaheim Memorial Medical Office Building at 8165 - 8195
East Santa Ana Canyon Road (a 6-acre property having a frontage
of 660 feet on the north side of Santa Ana Canyon Road and
located approximately 50 feet west of the centerline of
Roosevelt Road); that the Police Substation was subsequently
established at that location and is currently in operation; and
that, therefore, the 1.87-acre site at 8186 South Dream Street,
which is currently designated for a Police Station by both the
Sycamore Canyon Specific Plan No. 88-1, Exhibit A, and the
Anaheim General Plan, is no longer needed for a Police
Substation; and
WHEREAS, Amendment No. 3 to Specific Plan No. 88-1 is
a city-initiated proposal to make modifications to certain
exhibits in the Sycamore Canyon Specific Plan document and the
related Public Facilities Plan; that the proposed amendments
include deleting references to the Police Substation from
Exhibit No. 4 "Land Use Plan" and Exhibit No. 12 "Specific Plan"
of the Specific Plan document and from the Public Facilities
Plan, including Exhibit No. 6 "Open Space and Recreation Plan";
and that the site designated for a Police Substation on each of
those exhibits be replaced with the General Open Space land use
designation; and
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 to hear and consider evidence for and
against said proposed Amendment No. 3 and to investigate and
make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; and
WHEREAS, said 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 adopted its Resolution No. PC2000-132 recommending
to the City Council that Amendment No. 3 to Specific Plan No.
88-1 be approved;
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Anaheim did
hold a duly noticed public hearing on January 9, 2001, to
consider the recommendation of the Planning Commission regarding
the approval of Amendment No. 3 to Specific Plan No. 88-1 and,
based upon the evidence and testimony presented at said public
hearing, including the staff reports and recommendations of the
Planning Commission, the City Council does find and determine as
follows:
1. That approval of Amendment No. 3 to Specific Plan
No. 88-1, Exhibit A, will amend Exhibit Nos. 4 and 12 of the
Sycamore Canyon Specific Plan and will also amend the Public
Facilities Plan, including Exhibit No. 6, to remove the Police
Substation site designation from the herein described property
at 8186 South Dream Street, and will redesignate said 1.87-acre
property for General Open Space land use.
2. That the Planning Commission has recommended
adoption of General Plan Amendment No. 2000-00382 pertaining to
the Land Use Element, including relocating the Police Station
site to 8165 - 8195 East Santa Ana Canyon Road and designating
the 1.87 acre parcel at 8186 South Dream Street for General Open
Space land use; and that the proposed amendments to the
Sycamore Canyon Specific Plan and Public Facilities Plan are
consistent with the General Plan Amendment.
2
3. That the Police Substation is currently operating
at 8165-8195 East Santa Ana Canyon Road in conformance with
General Plan Amendment No. 2000-00382.
4. That the 1.87-acre site at 8186 South Dream
Street should be redesignated for General Open Space land uses
until such time as a future development proposal is received and
considered by the City.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FINDING: That
the Anaheim City Council has reviewed Amendment No. 3 to
Specific Plan No. 88-1, Exhibit A (the Sycamore Canyon Specific
Plan), to amend Exhibit Nos. 4 and 12 of the Specific Plan, and
to amend the Public Facilities Plan, including Exhibit No. 6, to
remove the Police Substation designation from a site consisting
of 1.87 acres located at the southerly terminus of Dream Street
approximately 344 feet south of Monte Vista Road and further
described as 8186 South Dream Street, and to redesignate said
site for General Open Space land use; and does hereby approve
the Negative Declaration upon finding that the declaration
reflects the independent judgement of the lead agency and that
it has considered the Negative Declaration together with any
comments received during the public review process and further
finding on the basis of the initial study and any comments
received that there is no substantial evidence that the project
will have a significant effect on the environment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, the City Council
of the City of Anaheim does hereby adopt Amendment No. 3 to
Specific Plan No. 88-1, Exhibit A (the Sycamore Canyon Specific
Plan), to amend Exhibit Nos. 4 and 12 of the Sycamore Canyon
