.
2. That waiver (a), required parking lot landscaping, is hereby denied on the basis that it
was deleted following public notification.
3. That waiver (b), permitted roof-mounted equipment, is hereby approved on the basis that
in commercial zones in the Scenic Corridor roof-mounted equipment which is fully screened from the
public's view is permitted subject to approval of a conditional use permit and this proposal is a quasi-
public use in a residential zone (RS-A-43,000) on Santa Ana Canyon Road; and that the proposed
equipment, according to the exhibits and information submitted by the petitioner (cross -sectional plans,
line-of-sight plan and photographs), will be below the height of the mansard roof and will be screened
from the public's view, including from surrounding residences in all directions.
4. That the proposed expansion of the church, as approved, will not adversely affect the
adjoining land uses and the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located;
and that the petitioner is providing additional parking that is not otherwise required by the Zoning Code.
5. That the size and shape of the site for the expansion of the church facility is adequate to
allow full development of the proposal in a manner not detrimental to the particular area nor to the peace,
health, safety and general welfare because the proposed building complies with the development
standards of the underlying RS-A-43,000(SC) zone and is located 139 feet away from the abutting
residences to the west.
6. That the traffic generated by the new religious education building will not impose an
undue burden upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area
because this religious education building will operate during the week and will not conflict with weekend
church services when the entire parking lot is utilized.
7. That amending Conditional Use Permit No. 3042 to permit and construct a two-story
religious education building in conjunction with the existing church will not, under the conditions imposed,
be detrimental to the peace, health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Anaheim.
8. That no one indicated their presence at the public hearing in opposition to the proposal;
that three concerned people spoke; and that no correspondence was received in opposition.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FINDING: The Planning Director's
authorized representative has determined tlhat the proposed project falls within the definition of
Categorical Exemptions, Class 1, as defined in the State of California Environmental Impact Report (EIR)

and amended by Resolution Nos. PC88-279 and PC92-63, to construct a two-story religious education
