OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2016-05871
TO PERMIT A TYPE 47 (ON SALE GENERAL— EATING PLACE) ALCOHOLIC
BEVERAGE CONTROL LICENSE AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS
IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2016-00031)
(731 SOUTH WEIR CANYON ROAD, SUITE 147)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (the "Planning
Commission") did receive a verified petition to approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05871
to permit the sale and consumption of beer, wine and distilled spirits with a Type 47 (On Sale
General — Eating Place) license issued by the State of California Department of Alcoholic
Beverage Control (herein referred to as "ABC") at a proposed new restaurant within a portion of
an existing retail commercial center commonly known as Suite 147 (the "Proposed Project")
located at 731 South Weir Canyon Road in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of
California (the "Property") as generally depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit A and
incorporated herein by this reference; and
WHEREAS, the Proposed Project is part of an 11 -acre, multi -tenant commercial retail
shopping center. The Property is located in Development Area No. 2 of the Sycamore Canyon
Specific Plan No. 88-1. Since Section 18.102.130 (Development Area No. 2) of Chapter 18.102
(Sycamore Canyon Specific Plan No. 88-1 (SP 88-1) Zoning and Development Standards) of the
Anaheim Municipal Code ("Code") states that the standards of the"C-NC" Neighborhood Center
Commercial Zone shall apply for development in Development Area No. 2, the Property is
subject to the zoning and development standards contained in Chapter 18.08 (Commercial
Zones) of the Code. The Property is also located in the Scenic Corridor (SC) Overlay Zone,
meaning that the requirements of the Scenic Corridor (SC) Overlay Zone, as set forth in Chapter
18.18 (Scenic Corridor (SC) Overlay Zone) of the Code shall apply to the Property and
supersede any inconsistent regulations of the"C-NC" Neighborhood Center Commercial Zone.
The Anaheim General Plan designates the Property for Neighborhood Center land uses; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in
the City of Anaheim on June 13, 2016 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
(Procedures) of the Code, to hear and consider evidence for and against the Proposed Project,
and to investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; 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 the Implementation of the California
Environmental Quality Act (commencing with Cal. Code Regs. tit. 14, § 15000; 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; and
- 1 - PC2016-049
WHEREAS, this Planning Commission finds and determines that the effects of the
Proposed Project are typical of those generated within that class of projects (i.e., Class 1 —
Existing Facilities) which consist of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing,
licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical
equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that
existing at the time of this determination, and that, therefore, pursuant to Section 15301 of the
CEQA Guidelines, the Proposed Project will not cause a significant effect on the environment
and is, therefore, categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA; and
WHEREAS, this 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 with respect to the Proposed Project and, specifically, with respect to the request for
Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05871, does find and determine the following:
1. The proposed request to permit the restaurant with the sale and consumption of beer,
wine, and distilled spirits within an existing commercial retail center is an allowable use within
the "C -NC" Neighborhood Center Commercial Zone and, by extension, Chapter 18.102
(Sycamore Canyon Specific Plan No. 88-1 (SP 88-1) Zoning and Development Standards) and
within the Scenic Corridor (SC) Overlay Zone, subject to a conditional use permit.
2. The proposed request to permit the restaurant with the sale and consumption of beer,
wine, and distilled spirits within an existing commercial retail center 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
proposed use of a portion of the Property as a restaurant is compatible with the existing uses
within the commercial center and surrounding area.
3. The size and shape of the site is adequate to allow the full development of the
proposed 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 already improved with a multi -tenant
commercial building and no expansion to the existing building or use is proposed.
4. The traffic generated by permitting the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits 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.
5. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05871 under the conditions
imposed will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim.
WHEREAS, this 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 Proposed Project files. There is no substantial evidence, nor are there
other facts, that detract from the findings made in this Resolution. This Planning Commission
expressly declares that it considered all evidence presented and reached these findings after due
consideration of all evidence presented to it.
- 2 - PC2016-049
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the aforesaid findings and
determinations, this Planning Commission does hereby approve Conditional Use Permit No.
2016-05871, contingent upon and subject to the conditions of approval set forth 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 under Conditional Use Permit No.
2016-05871 in order to preserve the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City
of Anaheim. Extensions for further time to complete conditions of approval may be granted in
accordance with Section 18.60.170 of the Code. Timing for compliance with conditions of
approval may be amended by the Planning Director upon a showing of good cause provided (i)
equivalent timing is established that satisfies the original intent and purpose of the condition, (ii)
the modification complies with the Code, and (iii) the applicant has demonstrated significant
progress toward establishment of the use or approved development.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that any amendment, modification or revocation of this
permit may be processed in accordance with Chapters 18.60.190 (Amendment to Permit
Approval) and 18.60.200 (City -Initiated Revocation or Modification of Permits) of the Code.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Planning Commission does hereby find and
determine that adoption of this Resolution is expressly predicated upon applicant's compliance
with each and all of the conditions hereinabove set forth. Should any such condition, or any part
thereof, be declared invalid or unenforceable by the final judgment of any court of competent
jurisdiction, then this Resolution, and any approvals herein contained, shall be deemed null and
void.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that approval of this application constitutes approval of
the proposed request only to the extent that it complies with the Code and any other applicable
City, State and Federal regulations. Approval does not include any action or findings as to
compliance or approval of the request regarding any other applicable ordinance, regulation or
requirement.
