That an administrative adjustment may be approved in accordance with Subsection 18.12.080.020 of the Anaheim Municipal Code, which permits waiver of the minimum number of parking spaces when the deviation from the Zoning Code requirement does not exceed 10% and when no opposition is received from property owners within 300 feet of the subject property following a 10-day notification period; however, when opposition is received, a public hearing shall be held, including public notice pursuant to Title 18 "Zoning." 2. That opposition (one letter) to this administrative adjustment was received during the original 10-day public notification period and, therefore, a public hearing was scheduled in accordance with Subsection 18.12.080 of the Anaheim Municipal Code. 3. That although the public notice indicated a reduction of 30 parking spaces, the correct number is 19 spaces. 4. That one person spoke in opposition to the proposal at the public hearing and that a second person was present in opposition; and that no correspondence was received in opposition. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FINDINGS: That the Planning Director or his authorized representative has determined that the proposed project is Categorically Exempt, Section 15061(b)(3), as defined in the State of California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines and is, therefore, categorically exempt from the requirement to prepare an Environmental Impact Report. Adj-180.doc - 1 of 3 - ZA 2000-09 "Corrected 2-7-2000" L....J C Based on the evidence presented to me, I do hereby determine to grant Administrative Adjustment No. 180, subject to the following conditions: 1. That the driveway on Euclid Street shall be reconstructed in accordance with approved Engineering Plan Nos. 19385 and 19386 to accommodate for the operation of the traffic signal at this location. The applicant shall pay for the traffic signal upgrade, striping modifications and shall provide an easement for the installation of loops on this property. 2. That plans shall be submitted to the City Traffic and Transportation Manager for review and approval showing conformance with the most current versions of Engineering Standard Plan Nos. 436 and 602 pertaining to parking standards and driveway locations. Subject property shall thereupon be developed and maintained in conformance with said plans. 3. That approval of this parking waiver is based upon the sole use of this property for professional (non-medical or dental) office use; and that no other uses with a higher parking ratio requirement than four (4) spaces per one thousand (1,000) square feet of floor area shall be permitted at this property without first obtaining approval of a new waiver. If this use is expanded and/or if additional parking is provided elsewhere on adjacent or nearby properties, a master plan, including this property, shall be prepared to address design issues such as parking, traffic circulation, directional signs and landscaping, between this property and the other properties. The purpose for such as master plan will be to address this commercial development in the context of adjoining and nearby residential uses. 4. That this property shall be developed substantially in accordance with plans and specifications submitted to the City of Anaheim by the petitioner and which plans are on file with the Planning Department marked Exhibit No. 1, and as conditioned herein. 5. That final landscaping plans shall be submitted to the Zoning Division for review and approval showing the specific plant species (trees, shrubs and ground cover), number of plants, placement and sizes which will be installed in the new landscape planters in the parking area and in the setbacks adjacent to the public streets. Said landscaping plans shall include trees near the east property line to soften the impact of the existing block wall along Fairhaven Street (i.e., the trees may be planted inside the block wall but shall be visible over the block wall to the nearby residential area). To the extent feasible (and based on the submitted and approved plan herein), the new landscaping shall comply with the most current Zoning Code requirements. 6. That prior to issuance of a building permit or within a period of one (1) year from the date of this decision, whichever occurs first, Condition Nos. 2 and 5, above-mentioned, shall be complied with. Extensions for further time to complete said conditions may be granted in accordance with Section 18.03.090 of the Anaheim Municipal Code. 7. That approval of this application constitutes approval of the proposed request only to the extent that it complies with the Anaheim Municipal Zoning Code and any other applicable City, State and Federal regulations. Approval does not include any action or findings as to compliance or approval of the request regarding any other applicable ordinance, regulation or requirement. 8. That future Tenants of this building shall participate in the City of Anaheim Transportation Network (ATN) which has a Transportation Management Association that serves the area including this building. The goal of the ATN is to create ongoing transportation solutions that help members better understand regulations, reduce costs and make it easier for commuters and visitors to travel through the area. The future Tenants of this building shall join the ATN not later than sixty (60) days after taking occupancy of the Premises, and shall maintain such membership throughout their occupancy of the building. It shall be the responsibility of the owner of this building to advise all future Tenants of this responsibility.
