Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.; herein referred to as

WHEREAS, in conformance with CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines and the City's Local
CEQA Procedure Manual, a Mitigation Monitoring Plan ("MMP No. 333") has been prepared
for the Proposed Project and includes mitigation measures that are specific to the Proposed
Project; 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 of the
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, by the adoption of a resolution concurrently with, but prior in time to, the
adoption of this Resolution and pursuant to the provisions of CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines, and
the City's Local CEQA Procedure Manual, this Planning Commission found and determined and
recommended that the City Council also find and determine that the Proposed Project will have a
less than significant impact upon the environment with the implementation of the conditions of
approval and the mitigation measures attached to that concurrent Resolution and contained in
MMP No. 333, and that the City Council approve and adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration
and MMP No. 333; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, after due consideration, 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 "OS" Open Space Zone, to the
"RM -1" Single -Family Residential Zone is consistent with the General Plan's Corridor
Residential land use designation for the Property.
2. The proposed reclassification of the Property is necessary and/or desirable
for the orderly and proper development of the Property and is compatible with the surrounding
residential uses.
3. The proposed reclassification of the Property does properly relate to the zone
and permitted uses established in close proximity to the Property and to the zones and their
permitted uses generally established throughout the community.
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 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.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, on the basis of the above findings and
determinations, this Planning Commission does hereby approve Reclassification No. 2015-00284
to authorize an amendment to the Zoning Map of the Anaheim Municipal Code to rezone and
reclassify the Property into the "RM -1" Multiple -Family Residential Zone, contingent upon and
subject to approval by the City Council of General Plan Amendment 2015-00505, Conditional
Use Permit No. 2015-05832, Tentative Tract Map No. 17959, and Development Agreement No.
2016-00003, now pending, and that the City Council adopt an ordinance reclassifying the
Property in accordance with Reclassification No. 2015-00284.
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.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION was adopted at the Planning Commission meeting
