given as required by law and in accordance with the provisions of the Anaheim Municipal Code, Chapter
18.03, to hear and consider evidence for and against said proposed conditional use permit and to
investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; and
WHEREAS, said 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,
does find and determine the following facts:
1. That the proposed use is p~operly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by
Anaheim Municipal Code Section 18.21.05A.125 to permit a telecommunications antenna within a 70 foot
high reconstructed church steeple, including a cross, with waiver of the following:
Sections 18.05.064.055 - Prohibited siqns.
and 18.21.067 (Roof-mounted advertisina prohibited;
steeple-mounted cross proposed)
2. That the requested waiver, prohibited signs, is hereby denied on the basis that the
Planning Commission determined that a cross on a church steeple is a religious icon that is an integral
architectural feature of the church and is not a sign; and that the waiver is, therefore, unnecessary.
3. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the adjoining land uses and the growth
and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located.

development of the proposal in a manner not detrimental to the particular area nor to the peace, health,
safety and general welfare.

streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area.
6. That granting of this conditional use permit, under the conditions imposed, will not be
detrimental to the peace, health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Anaheim.

and that no correspondence was received in opposition.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONM~NTAL QUALITY ACT FINDING: That the Anaheim City
Planning Commission has reviewed the proposal to permit a telecommunications antenna within a 70 foot

depth of 636 feet, being located 130 feet south of the centerline of Ames Avenue, and further described

review process and further finding on the basis of the initial study and any comments received that there
is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment.
