California, as generally depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated

2016-00296" for the purpose of allowing the applicant to construct an 18 -unit attached, single-
family residential project (herein referred to as the "Project"); and
WHEREAS, the Property is approximately 1.04 acres in size and is located in the "T"
Transition Zone. The Property is designated on the Land Use Element of the General Plan for
"Low -Medium Density Residential" uses; and
WHEREAS, Reclassification No. 2016-00296 is proposed in conjunction with
Conditional Use Permit No. 2016-05881 and Tentative Tract Map No. 18069, now pending,
which, together with the Project, shall be referred to herein collectively as the "Proposed Project"
WHEREAS, Reclassification No. 2016-00296 proposes to apply the zoning and
development standards of the "RM -3" Multiple -Family Residential Zone to the Property; 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; and
WHEREAS, this Planning Commission finds and determines that the Proposed Project is
within that class of projects which consist of in -fill development meeting the conditions
described in Section 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines. Specifically, the Proposed Project (a) is
consistent with the applicable General Plan designation and all applicable General Plan policies
and is consistent with the applicable zoning designation and regulations, (b) is no more than five
acres in size substantially surrounded by urban uses, (c) has no value as a habitat for endangered,
rare or threatened species, (d) would not result in significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air
quality, or water quality, and (e) the Property can be adequately served by all required utilities
and public services. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 15332 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, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in
the City of Anaheim on December 12, 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
Anaheim Municipal Code (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, 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 "T" Transition Zone to the "RM -3"
Multiple -Family Residential Zone is consistent with the Property's Low -Medium Density
Residential land use designation in the Land Use Element of 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 residential
uses located to the north, south, and west of the Property.
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. 2016-00296
to authorize an amendment to the Zoning Map of the Anaheim Municipal Code to rezone and
reclassify the Property into the "RM -3" Multiple -Family Residential Zone and recommends that
the City Council adopt an ordinance reclassifying the Property in accordance with
Reclassification No. 2016-00296.
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.
