AND 30, MISCELLANEOUS MAPS, IN THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY RECORDER OF

EXCCEPTING THEREFROM THE WESTERLY 3 FEET THEREOF.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hoid a pubiic hearing at the Civic Center in the
City of Anaheim on March 5, 2007, at 2:30 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, Ghapter 18.60, 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 alf evidence and reports offered at said hearing, does find
and determine the following facts:
1. That the proposed request to permit an outdoor storage yard for a drilling contractor
including accessory repair is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by Anaheim
Municipal Code Section Nos. 18.38.200 and 18.120.050.0135 with the following waivers:
(a} SECTION NO. 18.42.040.010
(b~ SECTION NO. 18.46.110.020
Minimum number of parkinq spaces
39 spaces required; 27 spaces proposed)
Reauired fencinp abuttinq a residential use
8-foot hiah block wall required adjacent to a
residential use; 6-foot high chain link fence
existing.
2. That the above-mentioned waiver (a), under the conditions imposed will not cause fewer off-
street parking spaces to be provided for such use than the number of such spaces necessary to
accommodate all vehicles attributable to the proposal under the normal and reasonably foreseeable
operation of such use as the parking study determined that the size of the building at this site is not a good
indicator of the number of employees since they work in the field. In addition, not all of the employees are on
the site at the same time. The parking study surveyed the existing facility in the City of Orange with the
same number of employees and determined that the proposed spaces are adequate.
3. That the parking waiver, under the conditions imposed, will not increase the demand and
competition for parking spaces upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of the proposal since
adequate on site parking is being provided.
4. That the waiver, will not increase the demand and competition for parking spaces upon
adjacent private property in the immediate vicinity of the proposed use since parking is contained within the
property boundaries of the site.

5. That the waiver, will not increase traffic congestion within the off-street parking areas or lots
provided for the proposed uses because the project is designed to anticipate the peak demand for the use.
6. 7hat the waiver, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not impede vehicular ingress to or
egress from adjacent properties upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of the proposed use
because the driveways and parking areas for the adjacent properties are self-contained and separate from
the proposed project.
7. That the above-mentioned waiver (b) is hereby approved based upon the finding that this
property has unique surroundings because although there is an existing single family residence located -
adjacent to this property, the house is used as a caretakers unit for the industrial use on the adjacent
property. In addition, the same waiver has been granted under a prior entitlement for this site. The intent of
the code is to protect a residential use and all surrounding properties are developed with industrial uses.
Surrounding properties a~l have 6 foot high chain link fencing and denying'the waiver would deprive this
property of privileges en}oyed by surrounding properties.
8. That the use does not adversely affect the adjoining land uses or the growth and
development of the area in which it isproposed to be located as the surrounding land uses are developed
with similar industrial land uses,
9. That the size and shape of the site for the proposed use is adequate to allow the fult
development of the proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area.
10. That no one indicated their presence at said public hearing in opposition; and that no
correspondence was received in opposition to the subject petition.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FINDING: That the Anaheim Planning
Commission has reviewed the proposal; and does hereby approve the Negative Declaration upon finding
that the declaration reflects the independent judgment of the lead agency and that it has considered the
Negative Declaration together with any comments received during the public 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.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Anaheim Planning Commission does
hereby grant subject Petition for Conditional Use Permit, upon the following conditions which are hereby
found to be a necessary prerequisite to the proposed use of the subject property in order to preserve the
health and safety of the Citizens of the City of Anaheim:
1. That the gates on-site shall be open and unlocked during business hours during the loading/unloading
of product delivery vehicles and securely locked after business hours. The gate and perimeter fencing
