(DEV2015- 00030)
(1406, 1422 WEST BROADWAY, 318 SOUTH HESSEL STREET,
1280 WEST SANTA ANA STREET AND
301 SOUTH MANCHESTER AVENUE)
WHEREAS, pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Planning Director under
Section 18.76.030 (Initiation) of Chapter 18.76 (Zoning Amendments) of the Anaheim
Municipal Code (the "Code "), the Planning Director has initiated the reclassification of that
certain real property located at 1406 and 1422 West Broadway, 318 South Hessel Street, 1280
West Santa Ana Street and 301 South Manchester 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 "), designated as Reclassification No. 2015-
00278; and
WHEREAS, the Property is approximately 8.8 acres in size and is currently developed
with a City -owned park commonly known as Betsy Ross Park, two vacant industrial buildings
and vacant land. The Property is located in the "I" Industrial Zone. The Anaheim General Plan
designates a portion of the Property for "Parks" land uses; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Director requests to rezone or reclassify the Property from
the "I" Industrial Zone to the "PR" Public Recreation Zone; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.; herein referred to as
"CEQA "), the State of California Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental
Quality Act (herein referred to as the "CEQA Guidelines "), and the City's Local CEQA
Procedure Manual, the City is the "lead agency" for the preparation and consideration of
environmental documents for the Proposed Project, including Reclassification No. 2015- 00278;
and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds and determines that Environmental
Impact Report No. 330 ( "EIR 330 ") 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 CEQA
Guidelines calling for the preparation of a subsequent environmental impact report or a supplement
to EIR 330 have occurred; and
- 1 - PC2015 -031
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center
in the City of Anaheim on April 6, 2015 at 5:00 p.m., notice of said public hearing having been
duly given as required by law and in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 18.60 of the
Anaheim Municipal Code, to hear and consider evidence and testimony for and against the
Proposed Project and to investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection
therewith; 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 "I" Industrial Zone to the "PR"
Public Recreation Zone is consistent with the Property's existing "Open Space- Parks" and
"Parks" land use designation in the General Plan.
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 surrounding
properties. Further, the proposed reclassification creates consistency between the Land Use
Element of the General Plan and the existing park and open space land uses and the likelihood
that the balance of the improvements on the Property may be converted to public recreation uses.
3. The proposed reclassification of the Property does properly relate to the zone
and its permitted uses locally established within and 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. 2015 -00278 to authorize an
amendment to the Zoning Map of the Anaheim Municipal Code to rezone and reclassify the
Property into the "PR" Public Recreation 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.
