IN CONNECTION THEREWITH

(1150-1178 KNOLLWOOD CIRCLE AND 2621-2651 WOODLAND DRIVE)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (herein referred to as the
"Planning Commission") did receive a verified petition for the approval of Tentative Parcel Map
No. 2019-128 to permit a one -lot 31 -unit commercial/industrial airspace subdivision (collectively
referred to herein as the "Project") on that certain real property located at 1150-1178 Knollwood
Circle and 2621-2651 Woodland Drive in the City of Anaheim, as generally depicted on the map
attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference (the "Property"); and
WHEREAS, the 3.69 -acre Property is currently developed with two, single -story
commercial/industrial buildings with a floor area of 25,085 and 28,386 square feet, is located in
the Industrial (1) zone and has a General Plan land use designation of Industrial; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in the
City of Anaheim on April 27, 2020 at 5:00 p.m. and notice of said public hearing have 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 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 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, in conformance with CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines and the City's Local
CEQA Procedure Manual, the Planning Commission finds and determines that the effects of the
Proposed Project are typical of those generated within that class of Projects which consists of the
division of property meeting the conditions described in Section 15315 of Tittle 14 of the
California Code of Regulations ("CEQA Guidelines"); that consists of the division of property in
urbanized areas zoned for residential, commercial, or industrial use into four or fewer parcels when
the division is in conformance with the General Plan and zoning, no variances or exceptions are
required, all services and access to the proposed parcels to local standards are available, the parcel
was not involved in a division of a larger parcel within the previous two (2) years, and the parcel
does not have an average slope greater than 20 percent. The Project complies with all of the
conditions described in Section 15315 of the CEQA Guidelines. Accordingly, 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, 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 pertaining to the request to permit a one -lot 31 -unit commercial/industrial air space
subdivision, does find and determine the following facts:
1. That the proposed Project, including its design and improvements, is consistent with the
Industrial land use designation in the Anaheim General Plan and, more specifically, the
Industrial zone and with the zoning and development standards contained in Chapter 18.10
of the Code for industrial uses.
2. That the site is physically suitable for the type and density of the Proposed Project.
3. That the design of the subdivision is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage
or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat, as no sensitive
environmental habitat has been identified.
4. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements is not likely to cause serious
public health problems, as no expansion is proposed to the existing office buildings.
5. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the
proposed subdivision.
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
