Resolution-PC 2014-096RESOLUTION NO. PC2014 -096 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2014 -05760 AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH (DEV2014- 00094) (2420 EAST KATELLA AVENUE) WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim ( "Planning Commission ") did receive a verified petition for Conditional Use Permit No. 2014 -05760 to allow the on -site consumption of beer and wine in a new restaurant (herein referred to as the "Proposed Project ") on that certain real property located at 2420 East Katella Avenue in the City of Anaheim, as generally depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference (the "Property "), pursuant to Section 18.60.090 of the Anaheim Municipal Code ( "Code "); and WHEREAS, the Property is approximately 2.0 acres in size and is developed with an 8- unit commercial center. The Land Use Element of the Anaheim General Plan designates the Property for Mixed Use land uses. The Property is located within the "C -G" (General Commercial) Zone. As such, the Property is subject to the zoning and development standards described in Chapter 18.08 (General Commercial Zone) of the Anaheim Municipal Code (the "Code "); and WHEREAS, on November 3, 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 in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 18.60 (Procedures) of the Code, to hear and consider evidence for and against proposed Conditional Use Permit No. 2014- 05760, 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 the Proposed Project is within that class of projects (i.e., Class 1 — Existing Facilities) which consist of the repair, maintenance, and /or minor alteration of existing public or private structures or facilities, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of this determination, and that, therefore, pursuant to Section 15301 (Class 1 — Existing Facilities) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, the Proposed Project will not cause a significant effect on the environment and is, therefore, categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA; and PC2014 -096 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 pertaining to the request for Conditional Use Permit No. 2014 - 05760, does find and determine the following facts: 1. The request to permit beer and wine service for on- premises consumption in conjunction with a new restaurant in an existing commercial retail center in the Commercial Zone is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by Code Section No. 18.08.030 [Uses — Commercial Zones)] of the Code. 2. The request to permit beer and wine service for on- premises consumption in conjunction with a restaurant would not adversely affect the surrounding land uses and the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located because the Property is currently developed with a commercial retail center and the existing use is compatible with the surrounding area; and 3. The size and shape of the site is adequate to allow the full development of the existing use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area nor to the health, safety and general welfare of the public because the Property is currently improved with a commercial retail center and there is no proposed expansion; and 4. The traffic generated by permitting beer and wine service for on- premises consumption in conjunction with a restaurant would not impose an undue burden upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area because the number of vehicles entering and exiting the Property are consistent with the existing commercial use of the Property and the permitted businesses within the commercial center; and 5. The granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim because the Property is a commercial center which allows restaurant businesses and the existing restaurant is compatible with the surrounding area. 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. -2- PC2014 -096 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that this Planning Commission does hereby approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2014 -05760 at the Property, contingent upon and subject to the conditions of approval described in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, which are hereby found to be a necessary prerequisite to the proposed use of the Property in order to preserve the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Anaheim.
