APPROVING RECLASSIFICATION NO. 2012 -00250 AND MAKING
CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.
(DEV2012- 00117)
(501 SOUTHWEST STREET)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (hereinafter
"Planning Commission ") did receive a verified Petition for reclassification, designated as
Reclassification No. 2012- 00250, for that certain real property located at 501 South West Street,
in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, as generally depicted on Exhibit
A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the 'Property "); and
WHEREAS, the Property is currently vacant and is located in the T (Transition)
Zone. The Anaheim General Plan designates this property for Low - Density Residential land
uses; and
WHEREAS, the applicant requests to rezone the property from the T (Transition)
Zone to the RS -3 (Single - Family Residential) Zone; and
WHEREAS, on December 3, 2012, the Planning Commission did hold a public
hearing at the Civic Center in the City of Anaheim notice of said public hearing having been
duly given as required by law and in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 18.60
( "Procedures ") of the Anaheim Municipal Code, to hear and consider evidence for and against
said proposed Reclassification No. 2012 -00250 and to investigate and make findings and
recommendations in connection therewith; and
WHEREAS, as the "lead agency' under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public
Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.; herein referred to as "CEQA "), the Planning Commission
finds and determines that proposed Reclassification No. 2012 -00250 is within that class of
projects which consist of in -fill development meeting the conditions described in Section 15332
of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations ('CEQA Guidelines "). Specifically, proposed
Reclassification No. 2012 -00250 (a) is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation
and all applicable General Plan policies, as well as with applicable zoning designation and
regulations, (b) is no more than five acres in size substantially surrounded by urban uses, (c) has
no value as a habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species, (d) would not result in
significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality, and (e) the Property can
be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. Accordingly pursuant to
Section 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines, proposed Reclassification No. 2012 -00250 will not
cause a significant effect on the environment and is, therefore, categorically exempt from the
provisions of CEQA; and
WHEREAS, the 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:
- I - PC2012 -091
1. Reclassification of the Property from the T (Transition) Zone to the RS -3
(Single - Family Residential) Zone is consistent with the property's existing Low - Density
Residential General Plan land use designation.
2. The proposed reclassification of the Property is necessary and/or desirable
for the orderly and proper development of the community and is compatible with the properties
to the north, south, west, and east, which are designated for Low - Density Residential land uses.
Moreover, the proposed reclassification is compatible with the surrounding properties which are
developed with single - family homes.
3. The proposed reclassification of the Property does properly relate to the zone
and its permitted uses locally established in close proximity to the property and to the zones and
their permitted uses generally established throughout the community.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission does
hereby unconditionally approve Reclassification No. 2012 -00250 to authorize an amendment to
the Zoning Map of the Anaheim Municipal Code to rezone and reclassify the property into the
RS -3 (Single - Family Residential) Zone.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this resolution shall not constitute a rezoning
of, or a commitment by the City to rezone, the Property; any such rezoning shall require an
ordinance of the City Council, which shall be a legislative act, which may be approved or denied
by the City Council at its sole discretion.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION was adopted at the Planning Commission
meeting of December 3, 2012.
