WHER~AS, ~he ~ity Planning Com~nission-did-hold-a publiE hearing at the ~iviE Center-in
the City of Anaheim on January 29, 2001, at 1:30 p.m., notice of said public hearing having been duly
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 amendment 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 use, as proposed to be amended, is properly one for which a conditional use
permit is authorized by the Zoning Code.
2. That the use, as amended, will not adversely affect adjoining land uses, nor the growth
and development of the area where it is located, nor will it be detrimental to the peace, safety or general
welfare of the citizens of the City of Anaheim because the proposed antennas and equipment are passive
in nature, require minimal maintenance, and are located in a fenced maintenance area of the regional
park which is not accessible to the public.
3. That the proposal will not create a negative visual impact on the surrounding area
because the proposed antennas will be placed at a lower height than the existing antennas, which have
minimal visibility based on the location, and the design, which blends in with existing sports field lights;
and that the existing mature landscaping within the park will screen the antennas from adjacent public
rights-of-way.
4. That little or no traffic will be generated by the proposal because the only time an
employee will visit the site is for periodic maintenance on a monthly (or less) basis.
