APPROVING RECLASSIFICATION NO. 2014 -00264 AND MAKING
CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.
(DEV2014- 00014)
(1648 WEST ORANGEWOOD AVENUE)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (the "Planning
Commission ") did receive a verified petition for reclassification, designated as Reclassification
No. 2014 - 00264, for that certain real property located at 1648 West Orangewood Avenue in the
City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, as generally depicted on the map
attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference (the "Property "); and
WHEREAS, the Property is currently developed with a vacant single family
residence 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, Reclassification No. 2014 -00264 is proposed in conjunction with
Tentative Parcel Map No. 2014 -108 to establish a 3 -lot residential subdivision to allow for the
future development of three single - family homes on the Property; and
WHEREAS, on June 16, 2014, 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 (the "Code "), to hear and consider evidence for
and against said proposed Reclassification No. 2014 -00264 and Tentative Parcel Map No. 2014-
108 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. 2014 -00264 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. 2014 -00264 (a) is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation
and all applicable General Plan policies, as well as with the 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. 2014 -00264 will not
cause a significant effect on the environment and is, therefore, categorically exempt from the
provisions of CEQA; and
- 1 - PC2014 -044
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:
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 land use
designation in the General Plan.
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 adjacent properties to which
are designated for Low Density Residential and Medium Density Residential land uses and are
developed with single family homes to the north, south and east and four -plex units to the west.
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 pursuant to the above findings,
this Planning Commission does hereby approve Reclassification No. 2014 -00264 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 and recommends that the City Council
adopt an ordinance reclassifying the Property in accordance with Reclassification No. 2014-
00264.
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 June 16, 2014.
