ITEM NO. 2
PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT
DATE: OCTOBER 25, 2021
SUBJECT: ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2021-00179,
ADJUSTMENT NO. 3 TO THE EAST CENTER STREET
DEVELOPMENT SPECIFIC PLAN NO. 90-2 (SPN90-2C),
(DEV2021-00138) CODE STREAMLINING AND
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
LOCATION: Citywide
APPLICANT: City of Anaheim
REQUEST: This is a City-initiated request to amend various chapters of Title 18
(Zoning) of the Anaheim Municipal Code (Code) to provide clarity, create consistency
of terms and definitions, streamline approval processes and amend Code requirements
to reflect current market trends. The proposed Zoning Code Amendment (ZCA)
includes adjustments to the East Center Street Development Specific Plan.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission, by
motion, determine that the proposed actions are not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA
Guidelines; and, recommend City Council approval of ZCA2021-00179, including
Adjustment No. 3 to the East Center Street Development Specific Plan No. 90-2
(SPN90-2C).
BACKGROUND: On September 27, 2021, the Planning Commission held a public
hearing to consider several Zoning Code amendments as a part of the City’s Code
Streamlining and Improvement Program. Similar to previous amendments, this
request includes modifications to permitted land uses, development standards,
procedures, and definitions contained in the Zoning Code. Attachment 1 to this staff
report shows the redlined changes to the Zoning Code; Attachment 2 provides a
description of each amendment and an analysis of why staff believes that the Planning
Commission should recommend that the City Council approve the amendment.
At the September 27 Planning Commission meeting, staff provided a presentation on
this year’s proposed amendments and received input from the Planning Commission.
After staff’s presentation, the Planning Commission had questions regarding the
proposed amendment which would allow outdoor dining within outdoor parking
spaces. Staff requested that the Planning Commission continue the item to the October
25, 2021, Planning Commission meeting in order to allow staff additional time to
review and edit the amendment in accordance with the Planning Commission’s input.
Staff has included the September 27, 2021, staff report as Attachment 3 to this staff report.
PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS: The table below describes additional changes that staff is
recommending to the Draft Ordinance that staff previously presented to Planning Commission.
Staff believes the revisions to the proposed Outdoor Dining Parking Permit section of the Draft
Ordinance will allow for a high quality of design and maintenance, as well as limit parking issues.
In addition, following the September 27 Planning Commission Meeting, staff identified additional
amendments that staff would like to add to the Code Streamlining and Improvement Program this
year, related to:
• Stealth Ground-Mounted Telecommunications in Public and Special-Purpose Zones
• Retaining Wall Landscaping Requirements
• Fences and Walls for Sound Attenuation
• Appeal Provisions for Planning Director Decisions related to Shared Parking Permits
Staff has added these amendments to Attachment 1 (Draft Redline Ordinance).
Proposed Additional Changes to the Draft Ordinance
Ordinance
Section(s) Subject Description
18, 30, 37 Outdoor Dining
Requirements
The previously proposed amendment would:
• Allow the conversion of up to three parking spaces to
outdoor dining space
• Update the definition of, “outdoor dining”, in order to
provide clarity on the use
• Remove the requirement for the outdoor dining to be
accessible directly from the restaurant, if the use does
not include the sale of alcohol
• Require the restaurant to enclose the outdoor dining area
with permanent improvements such as landscape
planters, fencing, decks, patio or shade structures, and/or
other decorative barriers, which physically define and/or
separate the outdoor dining area from other open or
public areas.
Staff has incorporated the following changes in response to
the questions posed by the Planning Commission:
• The conversion of parking spaces to outdoor dining
spaces would be limited to restaurants within
Commercial Retail Centers – Large;
• The amendment creates an Outdoor Dining Parking
Permit that outlines requirements regarding health,
safety and design.
• The Outdoor Dining Parking Permit would require the
dining area to be:
o Compatible with the design of the restaurant building
in a manner that is safe, provides proper access and is
fully visible from the restaurant
o Designed in a manner which does not interfere with
the flow of pedestrian or other traffic
o Maintained in a good state of repair and in a safe,
sanitary and attractive condition
9
Stealth Ground-
Mounted
Telecommunications
in Public and
Special-Purpose
Zones
This amendment provides regulatory relief by changing the
permitting requirements for stealth ground-
mounted telecommunications antennas in Public and
Special- Purpose Zones.
The amendment would change the permitting from a
Conditional Use Permit to a Telecommunications Antenna
Review Permit consistent with the permitting requirements
in Commercial and Industrial Zones and FCC6409, which
requires application determination from municipalities
within 150 days.
The amendment also clarifies that the Zoning Code prohibits
non-stealth ground-mounted telecommunications antennas
within the Public and Special Purpose Zones.
The following zones are Public and Special Purpose Zones:
• “OS” Open Space Zone
• “PR” Public Recreational Zone
• “SP” Semi Public Zone
• “T” Transition Zone
33
Retaining Wall
Landscaping
Requirements
This amendment provides clarity that the Zoning Code only
requires crib walls and retaining walls that are visible to
public rights-of-way, public trails, private streets or adjacent
residential properties, to be constructed with landscaping and
irrigation facilities.
32, 34
Fences and Walls
for Sound
Attenuation
This amendment pertains to homeowners with single-family
residences abutting either a major highway, scenic
expressway, or primary arterial highway that have alley
access with no driveway along the arterial street.
This amendment reduces the required landscape setback area
in the above locations, between fences and walls and the
public right-of-way, from 10 feet to three feet; however, it
also reduces the maximum permitted wall or fence height
from eight feet to six feet.
The proposed amendment would allow these homeowners to
construct walls or fences up to six feet in height, outside of
the three-foot setback area, subject to administrative review.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission find that the
proposed ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This
determination is pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. Pursuant to this section,
the proposed amendments and adjustments fit within the general rule that CEQA only applies to
projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. In that, the
proposed amendments and adjustments would provide clarity, create consistency of terms and
definitions, streamline approval processes, and amend Code requirements to reflect current market
trends, the proposed adjustments and amendments will not have a significant effect on the
environment; and, therefore, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
CONCLUSION: Staff recommends approval of this request, for the reasons set forth in
Attachment No. 2, which in summary are to provide staff, decision makers, and members of the
public with clearer standards, procedures and definitions.

Appeal Provisions
for Shared Parking
Permits
This amendment corrects a typographical error, which states
the City Council has appeal authority over shared parking
permit review. The amendment replaces that authority with
the Planning Commission, which is consistent with current
practice.

held outside the confines of a building, whether or not a business license is required, and
which may include (or be limited to) the outdoor display of merchandise, the display of
temporary signs, flags, banners or fixed balloons, or rides, games, booths or similar
amusement devices, whether or not a fee or admission is charged for such event.
.020 Location Requirements.
.0201 Distance. No amusement activity governed hereby shall be located in any
zone where such activity is specifically prohibited by the zoning regulations of the City
of Anaheim. No part of any amusement activity, including rides, booths, exhibits,
concession stands, equipment, or other facilities connected therewith, shall be located
closer than three hundred (300) feet to any occupied dwelling. Carnivals, fairs, and other

.0301 Vacant Site. Any vacant parcel or any group of adjoining vacant parcels.
.0302 Any Business or Commercial Retail Center. For the purposes of this
section the term, “Business or Commercial Retail Center” shall mean one (1) or more

group of parcels which are developed as a single project with shared vehicle access,
driveways and/or parking.
.0303 Any single parcel developed with a single land use or group of uses other
than a business or commercial retail center.
.0304 Any group of adjoining parcels developed with a group of land uses other
than a business or commercial retail center, and which parcels are developed as a single

.040 Prohibited Carnivals or Circuses. Under no circumstances shall a permit be
issued for a carnival or circus on the same project site for which the maximum number of
permits for special events, as defined in Section 18.92.220 (“S” Words, Terms and
Phrases), has already been issued during the same calendar year. The limitation
contained in this section shall not apply to commercially zoned properties which are a

properties or residential uses.
.050 Duration. No permit for a carnival or circus shall be issued for more than ten (10)

applicant shall submit information on a plan, or plans, to the Planning Services Division
for review and approval as required on the application, to verify that the carnival or circus
use of the site is not likely to have an adverse impact on surrounding land uses. The
plan(s) shall accurately and clearly depict the site on which the carnival or circus is
proposed. No permit shall be issued for a carnival or circus if the submitted plan(s) are
not approved.
.070 Parking. As part of the determination as to whether the proposed location of an
amusement activity is suitable or not, the Planning Director shall take into account the
availability of off-street parking areas to accommodate the automobiles which can be
reasonably be anticipated in connection with the amusement activity. The Planning
Director will verify that any use of such parking areas does not reduce the number of
parking spaces to less than the number of spaces reasonably required for the existing
businesses and uses. No permit shall be issued for a carnival or circus if the site does not
have adequate parking.
.080 Operational Standards. The carnival and circus shall continually adhere to the
following operational standards for the duration of the event:

(d) No sound amplifying equipment shall be operated with an excess
of fifteen watts of power in the last stage of amplification.

proposed. No permit shall be issued for a carnival or circus if the submitted plan(s) are

businesses and uses. No permit shall be issued for a carnival or circus if the site does not
have adequate parking.

Summary of Amendments
Ordinance
Section Municipal Code Chapter(s) Description/Analysis
1 18.04 (Single-Family Residential Zones)
Single-Family Residential Zones: This amendment clarifies that only “enclosed”
accessory structures shall count against the cumulative maximum square footage of
detached structures in single-family residential zones, and that unenclosed structures such
as swimming pools, tennis courts, etc. do not count towards this limitation.
2, 3 18.06 (Multiple-Family Residential Zones) Multiple-Family Residential Zones: This amendment clarifies and streamlines multiple-
family residential projects:
• Private Patios – Clarifies that the Code permits encroachment for private patios for
ground floor residential units of up to eight (8) feet into required street setbacks and
setbacks abutting interior property lines.
• Recreational-Leisure Areas – Streamlines multiple-family residential development by
providing a ratio of common to private areas and a minimum amount of required
common area.
4, 15 18.08 (Commercial Zones)
18.38 (Supplemental Use Regulations)
Conversion and Continued Use of Residential Structures: This amendment provides
regulatory relief and consistency by removing a code section that is no longer relevant and
is not consistent with other Commercial Zone requirements. The amendment removes the
code section outlining requirements for the commercial use of a residential structure and
adds clarification that the conversion or continued use of a residential structure within a C-
G or O-L zone to a commercial use requires a conditional use permit.

9 18.14 (Public and Special-Purpose Zones) Stealth Ground-Mounted Telecom in Public and Special-Purpose Zones: This
amendment provides regulatory relief by changing the permitting requirements
for stealth ground-mounted telecommunications antennas in Public and Special- Purpose
Zones.
The amendment would change the permitting from a Conditional Use Permit to
a Telecommunications Antenna Review Permit consistent with the permitting
requirements in Commercial and Industrial Zones and FCC6409, which requires
application determination from municipalities within 150 days.
The amendment also clarifies that the Zoning Code prohibits non-stealth ground-mounted
telecommunications antennas within the Public and Special Purpose Zones.
The following zones are Public and Special Purpose Zones:
• “OS” Open Space Zone
• “PR” Public Recreational Zone
• “SP” Semi Public Zone
• “T” Transition Zone
10 18.36 (Types of Uses) Day Care Centers: This amendment provides regulatory relief by removing the minimum
amount of children required for a day care use. The amendment also brings the
requirements for a day care use in line with the State law definition, which does not
include a minimum number of children.
11, 12, 13 18.38 (Supplemental Use Regulations) Accessory Dwelling Units: This amendment provides regulatory relief and streamlines
development by allowing ADUs to be constructed above existing nonconforming

Section Municipal Code Chapter(s) Description/Analysis
16 18.38 (Supplemental Use Regulations) Ground-Mounted Mechanical and Utility Equipment: This amendment provides
regulatory relief by removing the limitation on placing ground-mounted equipment in
street setback areas. Electrical transformers, backflow prevention devices, and double
check detector assemblies shall still be located a minimum of five (5) feet from the
property line, except in single-family zones, but the amendment would no longer require
the equipment to be placed outside of the street setback. Additionally, the amendment
requires the screening of equipment with live landscaping if located within a required
structural setback area abutting any public or private street.
17 18.38 (Supplemental Use Regulations) Outdoor Storage: This amendment provides consistency within departmental practices by
updating the type of ground material required for outdoor storage. “Gravel” is replaced by
“crushed angular rock”, which is the more specifically appropriate material for outdoor
storage yards to reduce dust and runoff.

18.92 (Definitions)
Outdoor Dining Requirements: The previously proposed amendment would:
• Allow the conversion of up to three parking spaces to outdoor dining space
• Update the definition of, “outdoor dining”, in order to provide clarity on the use
• Remove the requirement for the outdoor dining to be accessible directly from the
restaurant, if the use does not include the sale of alcohol
• Require the restaurant to enclose the outdoor dining area with permanent
improvements such as landscape planters, fencing, decks, patio or shade structures,
and/or other decorative barriers, which physically define and/or separate the outdoor
dining area from other open or public areas.
Staff has incorporated the following changes in response to the questions posed by the
Planning Commission:
• The conversion of parking spaces to outdoor dining spaces would be limited to
restaurants within Commercial Retail Centers – Large;
• The amendment creates an Outdoor Dining Parking Permit that outlines requirements
regarding health, safety and design.
• The Outdoor Dining Parking Permit would require the dining area to be:
o Compatible with the design of the restaurant building in a manner that is safe,
provides proper access and is fully visible from the restaurant
o Designed in a manner which does not interfere with the flow of pedestrian or other
traffic
o Maintained in a good state of repair and in a safe, sanitary and attractive condition

• Residential Parking Requirements – Clarifies parking space requirements based on
number of bedrooms in single-family, detached dwellings. This amendment provides
clarity that one (1) additional parking space per bedroom over five (5) bedrooms is
required.

direction may count towards the seventy-five (75%) minimum requirement for direct
vehicle access.

Specific Plan No. 90-2)
Non-Residential Parking Requirements: This amendment provides clarity and
consistency:
• Automotive - Impound Yards – This amendment provides clarity on parking
requirements for Automotive – Impound Yards by adding the use to the Non-
Residential Parking Requirements table.
• Parking Garage Dimensions and Accessways – This amendment provides consistency
between City departments and industry standards by removing the code section
regulating residential parking garage dimensions and accessways. Such projects will
be required to follow applicable City and Building Code standards.
• East Center Street Parking Structure – This amendment increases consistency within
city parking standards by referring the commercial parking requirements for the East
Center Street Parking Structure to the general parking section.
• Fast Food/ Take Out Restaurant Parking – Aligns parking requirements for fast-food/
take out restaurant parking, which is included under parking for Restaurants – General,
with Retail Sales – General. The requirements for these two uses were previously the
same; however, when the parking requirement for Retail Sales – General was reduced
to 4 spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area, Restaurants –General stayed at
5.5 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of GFA. This amendment re-aligns the parking
requirements for both above uses. It also will provide regulatory relief since the
reduction of required parking spaces will eliminate the requirement for a parking
tabulation when a new restaurant takes over a retail space within a shopping center.

Section Municipal Code Chapter(s) Description/Analysis
32, 33, 34 18.46 (Landscaping and Screening) Sound Attenuation: This amendment pertains to homeowners with single-family
residences abutting either a major highway, scenic expressway, or primary arterial
highway that have alley access with no driveway along the arterial street.
This amendment reduces the required landscape setback area in the above locations,
between fences and walls and the public right-of-way, from 10 feet to three feet; however,
it also reduces the maximum permitted wall or fence height from eight feet to six feet.
The proposed amendment would allow these homeowners to construct walls or fences up
to six feet in height, outside of the three-foot setback area, subject to administrative
review.
Retaining Wall Landscaping Requirements: This amendment provides clarity that the
Zoning Code only requires crib walls and retaining walls that are visible to public rights-
of-way, public trails, private streets or adjacent residential properties, to be constructed
with landscaping and irrigation facilities.

Special Events: This amendment provides for clarity of the special event permit
requirements by separating the four components that currently exist within one section into
four individual sections. Application procedures were added to these four sections, along
with special event regulations within The Platinum Triangle section, for consistency
purposes.
The four sections are as follows:
• Flags and Banners
• Outdoor Activity
• Christmas Tree Lot and Pumpkin Patches
• Carnival and Circuses
This amendment also allows for flags and banners for newly constructed homes or
condominiums for up to two (2) years and up to six (6) months for new apartment
complexes.

Grammatical Errors, Incorrect References and Internal Consistency: These
amendments correct grammatical errors, update incorrect references and create internal
consistency of terminology throughout the Zoning Code related to the following items:
• Smoking Lounge (Ordinance Section 7) – This amendment corrects a typographical
error that duplicates the Smoking Lounge use within the Commercial Zone Primary
Use Table.
• Appeal Provisions for Shared Parking Permits (Ordinance Section 29) – This
amendment corrects a typographical error, which states the City Council has appeal
authority over shared parking permit review. The amendment replaces that authority
with the Planning Commission, which is consistent with current practice.
• Permitted Fences and Walls (Ordinance Section 31) – This amendment provides
consistency for permitted fences and walls by adding freeways and toll roads to the list
of locations under the Permitted Fences and Walls Table.
• Density Definitions (Ordinance Section 35) – This amendment provides consistency
between conflicting definitions for “Density” and “General Plan Density –
Maximum”. The outdated definition for “Density” will be deleted and “Density” will
refer to the definition for “General Plan Density – Maximum”.
• Floor Area Ratio (Ordinance Section 36) – This amendment clarifies the definition of
“Floor Area Ratio” to exclude dedications and roadway easements.

ITEM NO. 2
PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
City of Anaheim
PLANNING AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT
DATE: SEPTEMBER 27, 2021
SUBJECT: ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2021-00179 AND
ADJUSTMENT NO. 3 TO THE EAST CENTER STREET
DEVELOPMENT SPECIFIC PLAN NO. 90-2 (SPN90-2C)
CODE STREAMLINING AND IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
LOCATION: Citywide
APPLICANT: City of Anaheim
REQUEST: This is a City-initiated request to amend various chapters of Title 18
(Zoning) of the Anaheim Municipal Code (Code) to provide clarity, create consistency
of terms and definitions, streamline approval processes and amend Code requirements
to reflect current market trends. The proposed Zoning Code Amendment (ZCA)
includes adjustments to the East Center Street Development Specific Plan.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission, by
motion, determine that the proposed actions are not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA
Guidelines; and, recommend City Council approval of ZCA2021-00179, including
Adjustment No. 3 to the East Center Street Development Specific Plan No. 90-2
(SPN90-2C).
BACKGROUND: In 2004, the City comprehensively updated its Zoning Code. Since
that time, the City has amended the Code on an as-needed basis as the result of staff’s
periodic review of the Code. These periodic amendments have evolved into the
Planning and Building Department’s award winning “Code Streamlining and
Improvement Program.” This program strategically evaluates and amends the Zoning
Code on a continuous basis in response to market and business trends. Such
amendments included the consolidation and streamlining of the regulatory permit
process, reduction in the level of review required for several land uses, creation of an
administrative permit process for reviewing requests for shared parking, and the
creation of a Minor Conditional Use Permit.
PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS: In a continued effort to provide regulatory relief,
staff has reviewed Anaheim’s existing Zoning Code and permitting practices to identify
additional potential changes to further streamline the entitlement process for existing
and new businesses in the City. The Zoning Code includes several chapters of Zoning
and Development Standards for the City’s specific plans. The City processes
modifications to these specific plan chapters as Specific Plan Adjustments.
Attachment 3
ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2021-00179
September 27, 2021
Page 2 of 2
Similar to previous amendments, this request includes modifications to permitted land uses,
development standards, procedures, and definitions contained in the Zoning Code. Attachment 1 to
this staff report shows the redlined changes to Title 18; Attachment 2 provides a description of each
amendment and an analysis of why the Planning Commission should recommend that the City
Council approve the amendment.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission find that the
proposed ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This
determination is pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. Pursuant to this section,
the proposed amendments and adjustments fit within the general rule that CEQA only applies to
projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. In that, the
proposed amendments and adjustments would provide clarity, create consistency of terms and
