DISCUSSION:
(8) The applicant is requesting' a determination of substantial conformance with previously-
approved elevation end sign exhibits for revised elevationand sign plans for anew
Mercedes Benz automotive dealership:..
(g) The original elevation plans for the vehicle sales building (Final Plan No. 3) indicate that the
"entire building would be enhanced with slate stdne column5and vertical sheets of blue
glass: The south elevation (facingsingle-family homes) would be completely covered with
slate stone with the exception of 8-foot high windows that would be inset 2 feet from the
exterior of the building to provide building depth and to mitigate potential iightimpacts on
the neighborhood to the south. The entrances Ioceted on the east and west elevations
would be offset 9 feetand covered in slate to create more building interest. The plans
show a cohtemporary architectural design consistent witty the MercedesBehz image, while
"tntegrating decorative stoneYo create a wermer building tfiat would be more compatible
with the community,es previdusly suggested by the Commission (detailed minutes
attached).. Staff feels that the originally approved elevations achieved the Commissions:
request for a quality building that incorporates ~ich'materialsand artdulation that blends
with the surrounding commercial and residential neighborfiood.
(10) "The revised elevations (Revision No. 1; Final Plan No. 3) indicate the addition of blue
'painted metal columns oh the north, east and west elevations thafwould support an
extended roof canopy. The applicant has indicated that this modification is being
requested because these columns are an essential component to `the Mercedes Benz
image. The staff report submitted to the Commssionef the March 6, 2005, meeting
indicated that the stone columns would be eliminated.: The applicant submitted
Yevised renderings in order to clarify that the columhs would .not be eliminated, but
the blue metal :posts would be located in front of the columns. The,plans continue to
propose a reduction in the stone around the ehtrances on the easy and west
elevations, a contemporary blue band has been added to the entry features and the
window mullions have beeneliminated.
(11) When this request was originally before the Commission in 2004, specific design
criteria was suggested to ensure that the vehicle sales building would be compatible
with the surrouhding land uses and"the rural cheracter of the surrounding
neighborhood. Staff appreciates the desire for Mercedes Benz to portrays distinct
image, but believes the proposed modifications to the'elevation5 deviate from the
origihat approval and the direction provided to staff from the community and
Commission for ewarm building that wouldblend with'the surrounding community.
Although the chenges to the buildfng ere minor, the addition of the blue metal poles,
elimination of the window mullions and the reduction of stone at the entrances of the
showroom creates'a more contemporary building design and decreases the warmth
of the building. Therefore, given the'priordtrectiort of the original conditional use
permiYepproval; staff is recommending the Commission determine that the revised
elevations do not substantially conform to the previously-approved exhibits.

(12) The elevation plans ihdicate the foilowirig square footages for the wall signs:
Elevation' Square footage
a roved Square footage

North " 63 180
South " N/A N/A
East.. 54 46
West `54 180 `'
(13) The approval of this application Included a waiver of the maximum number of wall signs:
`This waiver was justified by the Commission and Council due to the fact that the signs were
smaller that what the Cade allows (cdde permits wall signs not to exceed ten {10) percent
of the building elevatibn or 200 square feet, whichever is less). This justification still applies
since Code allows wall signs to be constructed up to 200 square feet and the proposed
signs do hot exceed tfte ten (10)'percent maximum area. Therefore, staff is supportive of
` the proposed increase in size of the wall signs.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS:
(14) Staff has reviewed the request for a review of revised elevation and sign plans and the
previdusly-approved Mitigated Negative Declaration and finds there are no changes to the
originally-approved conditional use permit and that the request will not result in any
significant adverse environmental impacts. Thereforeataff recommends that the
previously-approved Mitigated Negative Declaration serve as the required environmental
documentation for this request:
FINDINGS:
(15) Minor amendments require Planning Commission to determine whether the amendment is
in substantial cbhformance with the use and/or the plans that were originally approved.
Such review authority'mayapprove in wholebr inpart, conditionally approve or deny the
amendment. Minor amendments do not require a public hearing unless the review authority
determines, in its discretion, that a public hearing is apprbpriate.
.0201 The original approval df the permit occurred less than ten (10) years prior to the
request for amendment;
'.0202 The underlying zoning and the General Plan land use designation for the area in
which the'amendment is proposed have not changed significantly since the permit
was origihally approved;
.0203 No new waivers of code requirements are needed;
.0204 The conditions of approval are not proposed to be amended;
:.0205. No substantive changes to the approved site plan are proposed;
.0206 The naturebf the approved use is not sighificantly changed;
.0207 The approved use is not intensified; and
..0208 No new or substantiaCly greater environmental impacts would result.

Item No. 2 __
(16) Before the Commission grants any conditional use permit, it must make a finding of fact '
that the evidence presented shows that all of the following conditions exist: -
(a) That theUSe is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by
the Zoning Cdde, or is an'unlisted use as defined in Subsection .030 (Unlisted
Uses Permitted) of Section 18:66.040 (AppFdval Authority);.
(b) That the use will not advetsely affect the adjoining land uses or the growth and
develdpment pf the area in which it is proposed to be located;
(c) That the size and shape of the site for the use is adequate to allow the full
development of the proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular
area or to the health and safety;
(d) That the traffic generated by the use will not impose an undue burden upon the
streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area;
and
(e) That the granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed, if
any, will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of
Anaheim.
RECOMMENDATION:
(17) Staff recommends that, unless additional or contrary information is received during the
meeting, and based upon the evidence submitted to the Commission; including the
evidence presented in this staff report, and oral and written. evidence presented at the
putilic hearing, the Commission take the following actions:
(a) By motion; determine that the previously-approved Mitigated Negative Declaration is
adequate to serve as the required environmental documentation for the subject
request.
(b) By motion, approve, in part, the request for Determihation of Substantial'
Conformance by taking the following actions
(i) Denv the request to revise the elevation plans (Final Elevation Plan No.
3), for apreviously-approved automotive sales dealership because the
proposed revisions do not conform to the Commission's original
approval. The design change incorporating metal blue posts,
elimination of the window mullions and the reduced entry features
contribute to a more contemporary building design which would be
contradictory to the original approval
(ii) Approve the request to revise the sign plans (Final Elevation Plan No. 3), for
a previously-approved automotive sales dealership by approving the
increase in size since the revised signs would still be smaller than the Code
would allow and would be proportional to the building'elevations.

Where possible, underground or screen utilities and utility equipment or locate and
size them to be as inconspicuous as possible:
(20) Several of the design features indicated in the Design Element have been incorporated into
the proposed condominium conversion of the existing apartment complex: Examples
include providing detailed facade treatments (shutters and surrounds on the windows and
doors), and varied colors on the building wall planes to enhance articulation. The common
open space'amenities willbe enhanced with permanent seating and sfiade structures and
addttionaf landsoaping o make the pool and associated picnic area more inviting. Existing
utility equipment (gas meters and backflow device) would be painted' and screened with
landscaping where possible. Additionally, all landscaped planter areas would be
enhanced with the use of stacked stone, and alfsurface concrete a~easwould be enhanced
with decorative concrete treatment.
(21) Staff has included standard conditions of approval relating to landscape installation and
r maintenance: Detailed. final elevationand landscape plans are required fbrfinal review and
r approval'by staff prior to issuance of building permltsassociated with the various upgrades
proposed. Staff believes the proposed project is compatible with existing and surrounding
land uses {which are also multiple-family residences) and that modifications/upgrades
'proposed to the buildings on site would enhance visual impact of the property and livability
`' for residents within and around the project, and result in a project that is'compatible and
cohsistent with surrounding land uses and consistent with other recently approved:
condominium subdivisions.
(22) Although the project is not a housing opportunity site, the proposed project would provide
for ownership housing and contribute to the City's Housing Element goals by improving
existing housing and adding to the variety of housing opportunities already found within the
City. The Generei Pian designates this property for Medium Density Residential lahd uses
and implemehtatibn of this project would be consistent with that designation.
(23) Staff received one letter in support of the project from a representative of a homeowner's
association from a'condominium complex immediately west of the site: Although the letter
expressed support, the representative's letter also expressed conoemspertaining to the
exterior appearance of the complex, long-term maintenahce issues}noise, and available
on-site parking,. Based on these concerns, staff included a condition of approval requiring
the following issues to be addressed within the CCBRs.
Thafasslgned parking be maintained for vehicle parking in compliance with code.
® That guest spaces will only be used as such and will be clearly designated at all
times.
o That balcony/ patio areas will not be used for storage.
o Overall general maintenance of the property::

C. NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACT
The proposed condo conversion project will benefit the surrounding areas by
providing needed home ownership in the affordable range and will not negatively
impact the rental market. Surveys show that 85% of condominium conversion
buyers aze first time home buyers. This project will provide home ownership to 54
families. The applicant will assist any and all of the existing tenants that expresses
an interest in purchasing their units. ,
According to the latest census (2000) figures, Anaheim and Stanton has about
110,730 housing units with an ownership rate of about 49% .Using theses figures
for the cities of Anaheim and Stanton, there is 56,472 rental units. The proposed
conversion will displace 54 units or less than 1/10`s of 1% of the rental stock in
these two cities. This percentage does not take into account the rental stock of the..
adjacent cities of Cypress and Buena Pazk.

', use, bufalso in terms of signage and landscaping, both within the parking lot and street
setback. AlthougH staff would encourage landscaping, signage and facade improvements,
the requested action on its own would not require the property owner to make these
improvements.
(13) Staff is supportive of the request to permit the division of one (1) retail tenant space into
three (3) units and td establish land use conformity for ari existing, non-conforming
commercial retail center because it would be compatible with the underlying zone and would
bring the retail center into greater conformity wittYcurrent code land use requirements: In
addition, the recommended standard conditions of approval would ensure proper
maintenance, landscaping, sanitation and screening of7oof-mounted equipment.
FINDINGS:
(14) Before the Commission grants any conditional use permit; it must make a finding of fact
that the evidence presented shows that all of the following conditions exist:
(a) That the use is properly one for which a conditional use :permit is authorized by the
Zoning Code; or is an unlistedUSe as defined in Subsection .030 (Unlisted Uses
Permitted): of Section 18.66.040 (Approval Authority);
(b) That the use will not adversely affect the adjoining land uses or the growth and
development of the area in which it is proposed to be located;
(c) That the size and shape of the site for the use is adequate to allow the full
development of the proposeduse in a manneFnot detrimental to the particular area
br to the health and safety;
(dj That the traffic generated by the use will not impose an undue burden upon the
streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area; and
(e) That the granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed, if any,
will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim. '
