•
(a) Sections 18.06.050
18. 06.050.020.026. 0266
18.06.080
18.42.066.050
and 18.84.061
(b) Sections 18.05.091.020
18.42.067
and 18.84.062.040
•
- Minimum number of parking sqaces.
(241 required; 123 existing and concurred with by the City and
Traffic and Transportation Manager)
- Maximum number of wall siqns.
1 wall siQn permitted; 2 wall signs proposed)
2. That waiver (a), minimum number of parking spaces, is hereby approved on the basis
that the parking study indicates that the demand for off-street parking spaces is lower than the quantity
provided on the parcel and, therefore, there is a surplus of parking spaces on the parcel; and that the
City Traffic and Transportation Manager has reviewed the study and concurs with the proposed parking
waiver.
3. That the proposed project will not increase demand for parking on any streets in the
vicinity.
4. That the proposed project will not cause any demand for parking on private property in
the vicinity because an adequate supply of parking is provided on the site, and all project related parking
is expected to occur on the parcel.
__ 5. That the arncau~t of parking demand forecast_for the site_ is well within the supply provided.
on site; and that traffic and parking congestion will not occur because the overall demand for parking at
the site is lower than the amount of parking provided, and a surplus of parking spaces is expected to exist
on the site at all times.
6. That the proposed project will not impede vehicular ingress or egress to the site because
the project is not expected to result in increased demand for on-street parking in the vicinity of any
driveways or other locations in the project vicinity; and that lines-of-sight and turning areas for existing
driveways at public streets will be unaffected by parking for the proposed project.
7. That waiver (b), maximum number of wall signs, is hereby approved on the basis
additional identification visible to Serrano Avenue is appropriate.
8. That the proposed use is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by
the Zoning Code in the CL-HS(SC) "Commercial, Limited - Hillside (Scenic Corridor Overlay)" zone.
9. That the proposed use would not adversely affect the adjoining residential, office and
retail land uses, nor restrict the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located.
10. That the size and shape of the site for the proposed use is adequate to allow full
development of the proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area nor to the peace,
health, safety and generaf weifare.
11. That the traffic generated by the proposed use would not impose an undue burden upon
the streets and highways designed and improved to carry traffic in the area because the church operates
during off-peak times from the majority of the commercial center, has peak usage primarily on Sundays
when nearly all the other tenants are closed, and is complementary to the existing daily office and
commercial uses which have peak usage during weekday hours.
12. 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.
