18.122.060 SITE DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN STANDARDS BY DEVELOPMENT
AREA.
.010 Site Development and Design Standards—General. Site development standards are
intended to provide for the continued orderly development of each development area, to assure
adequate levels of light, air and density of development, to maintain and enhance the locally
recognized values of community appearance, to promote the functional compatibility of uses and
the safe and efficient circulation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic, all of which are found to be
necessary for the preservation of the community health, safety and general welfare.
.020 Building Site Requirements. The size and shape of the site proposed for the use shall be
adequate to allow the full development of the proposed use in a manner consistent with the stated
purpose and intent of the development area within which it is proposed to be developed.
.0201 Adequate provision shall be made for the safe and orderly circulation of both
pedestrian and vehicular traffic between the proposed site and all streets and highways, and
between coordinated facilities, access -ways or parking areas on adjacent sites.
.0202 The proposed development shall not limit or adversely affect the growth and
development potential of adjoining lands or the general area in which it is proposed to be located.
.0203 Adequate provisions shall be made for loading and unloading of supplies and
materials, and collection of refuse in a manner that is screened from view and does not obstruct
required parking and access -ways or impact adjacent land uses.
.030 Site Development and Design Standards. Site development and design standards for each
Development Area are shown in Tables 122-E through 122-M. Special provisions are referenced
in the "Special Provisions" column.
.040 Modifications of Site Development and Design Standards. The minimum lot width,
minimum floor area ratio, maximum structural height, minimum structural and landscape
setbacks, minimum dwelling unit floor area and minimum requirements for recreational -leisure
areas may be modified in order to achieve a good project design, privacy, livability, and
compatibility with surrounding uses, subject to the approval of a conditional use permit.
-22-
.0401 Application. The application for a conditional use permit shall be accompanied by
information required by the application form.
.0402 Findings. The Planning Commission shall make the following findings in conjunction
with approval of a conditional use permit to modify site development and design standards:
(1) New buildings or structures related to the project are compatible with the scale, mass,
bulk, and orientation of existing buildings in the surrounding area, provided the
existing buildings conform with the provisions of this title;
(2) Vehicular and pedestrian access are adequate;
(3) The project is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable design standards of
this chapter;
(4) The size and shape of the site proposed for the use is adequate to allow the full
development of the proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area;
(5) The granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed, if any, will
not be detrimental to the peace, health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the
City of Anaheim.
(6) Floor Area Ratio. An increase in the maximum floor area ratio is subject to the
following additional finding: the proposed use of the structure(s) shall not create a
greater impact to infrastructure than impacts anticipated by the maximum permitted
floor area ratio, as analyzed by Environmental Impact Report No. prepared for the
Beach Boulevard Specific Plan, unless such impacts are duly analyzed and mitigated
pursuant to subsequent environmental review. Such impacts shall be determined
through a sewer and traffic impact analysis to be submitted to the City Engineer.
Additional infrastructure studies may be required as determined by the Planning and
Building Director.
(7) Structural Height. Structures and projections above the height limit are subject to the
following additional finding: the proposed increase in structural height shall not create
significant impacts onto surrounding properties related to glare, shadow, noise and
privacy. Such impacts shall be assessed and determined through studies to be
submitted to the Planning and Building Department. Additional studies may be
required to analyze other impacts as determined by the Planning and Building
Director.
