- 1 - PC2014 -013
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 Environmental Impact Report No. 330 ( "EIR 330 ") and
FSEIR 2012 - 00346, certified in conjunction with the City's General Plan Update program, is all
that is necessary in connection with the proposed reclassification of the Property and its approval
and that none of the conditions set forth in Sections 15162 or 15163 of the Guidelines of the
California Environmental Quality Act calling for the preparation of a subsequent environmental
impact report or a supplement to EIR 330 and FSEIR 2012 -00346 have occurred; 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:
1. Reclassification of the Property from the C -G (General Commercial) Zone to
the RS -2 (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 surrounding
land uses to the west, north and east across Brookhurst Street which are designated for Low
Density Residential land uses. South and southeast of the Property across Katella Avenue are
commercial uses and single family homes to the southeast located in the City of Garden Grove,
respectively. Moreover, the proposed reclassification is compatible with the surrounding
properties which consist predominately of vacant parcels and 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. 2014 -00260 to authorize an amendment to
the Zoning Map of the Anaheim Municipal Code to rezone and reclassify the property into the
RS -2 (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 February 10, 2014.
