attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference (the "Property "); and

comprising the Property from the "C -G" (General Commercial) Zone to the "I" (Industrial) Zone;
and
WHEREAS, Reclassification No. 2014 -00269 is proposed in conjunction with
General Plan Amendment No. 2014 -00496 to redesignate the Property from "Parks" to
"Industrial" and to remove the site from all maps within the General Plan that identify it for use
as a park, specifically within the Land Use, Circulation and Green Elements. General Plan

collectively as the "Proposed Project "; and

duly given as required by law and in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 18.60

and against the Proposed Project and to investigate and make findings and recommendations in

- 1 - PC2014 -068
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 two largest parcels comprising the Property from the
"C -G" (General Commercial) Zone to the "I" (Industrial) Zone is consistent with the Property's
proposed Industrial land use designation proposed as part of General Plan Amendment No. 2014-
00496.
2. The proposed reclassification of the two largest parcels comprising the
Property is necessary for the orderly and proper development of this site for future industrial
development and is compatible with the surrounding properties which are designated for
Industrial land uses and are developed with industrial buildings.
3. The proposed reclassification of the two largest parcels comprising 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.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission determines that the evidence in the record
constitutes substantial evidence to support the actions taken and the findings made in this
Resolution, that the facts stated in this Resolution are supported by substantial evidence in the
record, including testimony received at the public hearing, the staff presentations, the staff report
and all materials in the project files. There is no substantial evidence, nor are there other facts,
that detract from the findings made in this Resolution. The Planning Commission expressly
declares that it considered all evidence presented and reached these findings after due
consideration of all evidence presented to it.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that pursuant to the above findings,
this Planning Commission does hereby approve Reclassification No. 2014 -00269 to authorize an
amendment to the Zoning Map of the Anaheim Municipal Code to rezone and reclassify the two
largest parcels comprising the Property into the "I" (Industrial) Zone and recommends that the
City Council adopt an ordinance reclassifying the two largest parcels comprising the Property in
accordance with Reclassification No. 2014- 00269.
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.
