A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION
DETERMINING THAT A CLASS 1 CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION
IS THE APPROPRIATE ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION
AND APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2012 -05592
(DEV2012- 00007)
(4540 EAST RIVERDALE AVENUE)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did receive a verified Petition for
Conditional Use Permit No. 2012 - 05592, as described below; and
WHEREAS, the applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to permit a private
preschool and elementary school at a former public school campus; and
WHEREAS, the subject property is developed with an elementary school campus
and is located in the T (Transition) Zone, and the Anaheim General Plan designates this property
for School land uses; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic
Center in the City of Anaheim on April 9, 2012, at 5:00 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 18.60, to hear and consider evidence for and against said proposed
amendment to conditional use permit and variance and to investigate and make findings and
recommendations in connection therewith; and
WHEREAS, said 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, does find and determine the following facts:
1. The proposed request to permit a private preschool and elementary school at a former
public school campus is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by Anaheim
Municipal Code Section 18.14.030.040.0402 (Educational Uses - General).
2. The proposed conditional use permit, as conditioned herein, would not adversely
affect the adjoining land uses and the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed
to be located because the school will continue to operate in a manner consistent with the previous
operation which is not detrimental to the adjacent properties.
3. The size and shape of the site for the use is adequate to allow the full development
of the proposed project in a manner not detrimental to the particular area or to the health and
safety because the property was originally designed as an elementary school.
4. The traffic generated by the proposed project will not impose an undue burden
upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area because the
private school will generate fewer traffic trips than the previous elementary school.
- 1 - PC2012 -022
5. The granting of the conditional use permit and the variance under the conditions
imposed will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim as
the proposed project will be compatible with the surrounding area through conditions of approval
for the use and is not a health or safety risk to the citizens of the City of Anaheim.
WHEREAS, the proposed project falls within the definition of Categorical
Exemptions, Section 15301, Class 1 (Existing Facilities) as defined in the State CEQA
Guidelines, and is therefore, exempt from the requirement to prepare additional environmental
documentation.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission, for the
reasons hereinabove specified does hereby grant Conditional Use Permit No. 2012 -05592 to
permit a private preschool and elementary school at a former public school campus.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that amendments, modifications and revocations
of this permit may be processed in accordance with Chapters 18.60.190 (Amendment to Permit
Approval) and 18.60.200 (City - Initiated Revocation or Modification of Permits) of the Anaheim
Municipal Code.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Anaheim City Planning Commission
does hereby find and determine that adoption of this Resolution is expressly predicated upon
applicant's compliance with each and all of the conditions hereinabove set forth. Should any
such condition, or any part thereof, be declared invalid or unenforceable by the final judgment of
any court of competent jurisdiction, then this Resolution, and any approvals herein contained,
shall be deemed null and void.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that approval of this application constitutes
approval of the proposed request only to the extent that it complies with the Anaheim Municipal
Zoning Code and any other applicable City, State and Federal regulations. Approval does not
include any action or findings as to compliance or approval of the request regarding any other
applicable ordinance, regulation or requirement.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the applicant is responsible for paying all
charges related to the processing of this discretionary case application within 15 days of the
issuance of the final invoice. Failure to pay all charges shall result in the revocation of the
approval of this application.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION was adopted at the Planning Commission
meeting of April 9, 2012. .
