subject to the following provisions. Likewise, any person, firm, corporation or

within any portion of the legal property upon which the premises is located shall
first obtain a conditional use permit in compliance with Chapter
18.66 (Conditional Use Permits) and shall be subject to the following provisions.
.0101 No flags or banners are permitted on a used motor vehicle offered for

.0102 Vehicular servicing, repair, detailing, rental and washing are not
permitted in conjunction with an Automotive -Sales Agency Office.
.0103 The storage, display or parking of automobiles beyond the on-site
display space authorized under the conditional use permit is prohibited. No
person, firm, corporation, or other entity engaged in conducting or carrying on the
36
business of an Automotive -Sales Agency Office (Retail) or an Automotive —
Sales Agency Office (Wholesale) which is subject to this section shall store,
display or park for such purposes any motor vehicle in his/her/its possession or

that the prohibition contained in this sentence shall not apply to any motor vehicle

motor vehicle for which an application and fee for registration in the name of such
person, fine, corporation, or other entity has been filed with the California
Department of Motor Vehicles as long as the motor vehicle is not for sale by the
owner of the business.
.020 Prohibited Uses. Automotive -Sales Agency Offices (Retail) and
Automotive — Sales Agency Offices (Wholesale) that store, display or park any
vehicle being held as inventory at the premises where the business or
establishment is proposed or established or within any portion of the legal
property upon which the premises is located, are prohibited within industrial
zones that do not allow offices as a permitted primary use, unless a conditional
use permit is obtained in compliance with Chapter 18.66.
.030 Continuance of Nonconforming Rights.
.0301 Purpose. It is the purpose and object of this subsection to establish a
review process for the maintenance and operation of Automotive -Sales Agency
Offices (Retail) and Automotive—Sales Agency Offices (Wholesale) that store,
display or park any vehicle being held as inventory at the premises where the
business or establishment is proposed or established or within any portion of the
legal property upon which the premises is located. Because of changes in the
City's Zoning Code, such Automotive -Sales Agency Offices (Retail) and
Automotive—Sales Agency Offices (Wholesale) that were established in
compliance with applicable regulations at the time of their development no longer
comply with existing regulations.
.031 General Rules for Previously Conforming Uses. The following
general rules apply to all Automotive -Sales Agency Offices (Retail) and
Automotive—Sales Agency Offices (Wholesale), defined in Subsection .010 of
this Section 18.38.065, existing as of October 4, 2013:
(i) Said uses must have been established in compliance with all permit
requirements and must have been lawful until a change in the applicable
regulations of the Zoning Code made the use non -conforming.
(ii) The property owner or person asserting rights for said use has the
burden to provide the Planning Director with sufficient documentation to establish
the existence of the previously conforming use.
(iii) Said use that complies with the provisions of this Section may
continue to exist and operate for the amortization period specified herein below.
37
.032 Abandonment of Previously Conforming Uses.
(i) An Automotive -Sales Agency Office (Retail) and an Automotive—
Sales Agency Office (Wholesale), as defined in Subsection .010 of this Section
18.38.065, may continue to operate or may resume operations if discontinued for
a period of less than sixty (60) consecutive days.
(ii) It is unlawful to reinstate any Automotive -Sales Agency Office
(Retail) or an Automotive—Sales Agency Office (Wholesale), as defined in
Subsection .010 of this Section 18.38.065, after the use has been discontinued for
a period of sixty (60) consecutive days. Discontinuance of the use for a period of
sixty (60) days or more creates a presumption in favor of abandonment, against
which the owner or person asserting rights to the continued use may offer
evidence.
(iii) If an Automotive -Sales Agency Office (Retail) or an Automotive—
Sales Agency Office (Wholesale), as defined in Subsection .010 of this Section
18.38.065, is discontinued temporarily while repairs, remodeling, or major
alterations of the structure in which the use is located are under construction,
maintenance of an active construction permit and continuance of the Business
License constitutes conclusive evidence that the use has not been abandoned
during the construction.
.033 Amortization Period.
(i) An Automotive -Sales Agency Office (Retail) and an Automotive—
Sales Agency Office (Wholesale), as defined in Subsection .010 of this Section
18.38.065, existing on October 4, 2013 may be continued, as specified below:

Sales Agency Office (Wholesale), as defined in Subsection .010 of this Section
18.38.065, is otherwise in compliance with all other provisions of Title 18
(Zoning) of the Anaheim Municipal Code, including Section 18.38.065; and

Sales Agency Office (Wholesale), as defined in Subsection .010 of this Section
18.38.065, is subject to a written lease, entered into prior to October 4, 2013, then
an Automotive -Sales Agency Office (Retail) or an Automotive—Sales Agency
Office (Wholesale) may continue until no later than July 1, 2015; or
(3) If an Automotive -Sales Agency Office (Retail) or an Automotive—
Sales Agency Office (Wholesale), as defined in Subsection .010 of this Section
18.38.065, invokes the investment of money in real property, improvements, or
stocks in trade such that a termination date beyond July 1, 2015 is necessary to
prevent undue financial hardship, then it may be continued until July 1, 2016.
(ii) To apply for an extension of time, an applicant shall file an
application with the Planning Director, on a form provided by the Planning
Department, identifying the present location of the Automotive -Sales Agency
Office (Retail) or the Automotive—Sales Agency Office (Wholesale), as defined in
Subsection .010 of this Section 18.38.065, and accompanied by data supporting
the extension request and any fee provided for by resolution of the City
Council. An extension shall be approved if it meets the requirements of

18.60.135. The Planning Commission's decision shall be final.
(3) If the Planning Director or, upon appeal, the Planning Commission
disapproves an extension, then it shall make findings of fact showing how the
