Re: Special Circumstances Waiver No. 2001-00009 -Approved
On February 22, 2001, Annika M. Santalahti, Zoning Administrator, considered your request to permit the
issuance of nine special event permits, in addition to the four permitted by Code, for a total of thirteen
special event permits during calendar year 2001. She made the following findings:
(a) That this Special Circumstances Waiver, to allow six signs which are not currently
permitted by Code, will serve the public interest, safety and general welfare by providing temporary
directional signage along Magic Way which clearly and efficiently assists pedestrian circulation within The
Disneyland Resort where the proposal is located.
(b) That the proposal will allow pedestrian directional signs to be located in the setback
areas on the north and south sides of Magic Way between Walnut Street (on the west) and Disneyland
Drive (on the east) from March 16, 2001 through June 5, 2001.
(c) That the six signs are designed to be compatible with other existing wayfinding signs
within The Disneyland Resort.
(d) That permanent standards to address the issue of adequate signs to safely direct
pedestrians will be determined through a Specific Plan Code Adjustment, which is under consideration.
Based on the above findings, Special Circumstances Waiver No. 2001-00009 is approved, subject to the
following conditions:
1. That a total of thirteen (13) special event permits shall be permitted for this property during calendar
year 2001 (four (4) permits being permitted by the Code and nine (9) additional permits pursuant to
this special circumstances waiver).
2. That this special circumstances waiver is approved for the period of March 16, 2001 through June 5,
2001.
3. That not less than five (5) regular business days prior to commencement of the activity authorized by
this Special Circumstances Waiver No. 2001-00009, the applicant shall obtain a special event permit
from the Planning Department for each of the nine (9) additional special events.
4. That subject 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 Nos. 1 and 2, and as conditioned herein.

Re: Special Circumstance Waiver No. 2001-00006 -Denied
On February 22, 2001, Annika M. Santalahti, Zoning Administrator, considered your request for Special
Circumstances Waiver No. 2001-00006 to retain nineteen (19) pageantry style banners mounted on light
poles in conjunction with the automobile dealership on property located at 1600 West Lincoln Avenue.
She made the following findings:
1. That two prior special circumstances waivers have been approved for this business
permitting 19 banners for 18 months (from June 14, 1999 through January 27, 2001) based on road
construction activities (on the freeway on-and off-ramps and on Lincoln Avenue) in connection with the I-
5/Santa Ana Freeway widening project.
2. That the petitioner requests approval to retain the 19 existing pageantry-style banners
attached to the display area light poles for an additional 6 months; but that the Public Works Department
has indicated that construction activities on the I-5 Freeway and Lincoln Avenue have been completed
since December 2000.
3. That although no road construction activity is currently underway in the vicinity, future
road construction work, involving primarily a pavement rehabilitation project at the Lincoln Avenue and
Euclid Street intersection and on Lincoln Avenue east of Euclid Street, is expected to commence in
approximately seven months, during September 2001.
4. That the extraordinary circumstances previously applicable to this property due to the I-5
widening project no longer apply because that construction project has been completed; and that the
previous construction impacts, including lane closures, traffic congestion and difficult access, no longer
exist and, therefore, allowing special event permit privileges would set an undesirable precedent and may
deprive other properties under identical zoning classification in the vicinity the land use privileges
proposed for this property.
5. That four special event permits (totaling 36 days) can be obtained for this business
location during calendar year 2001, as permitted by the Zoning Code and without a special circumstances
waiver; and that if future road construction activities in the area adversely impact the business, the
applicant may petition for a special circumstances waiver specifically coinciding with the timing of such
construction.
Based upon the above findings, the Zoning Administrator denied Special Circumstances Waiver No.
2001-00006.
This decision shall become final unless an appeal to the City Council, in writing, accompanied by an
appeal fee, is filed with the City Clerk within ten (10) days from the date of this letter or unless members
of the City Council request review of this decision within said 10 days.
