WHEREAS, pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the California

compliance with the requirements of CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines; and Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program No. 106C (MMP No. 106C); and other previously -approved
- 2 - PC2025-039
environmental documents for development in the Platinum Triangle area, serve as the appropriate
environmental documentation in connection with the Proposed Project (collectively the "CEQA
Documents"); that the approved mitigation measures continue to be appropriate for the project;
that no further environmental documentation needs to be prepared under CEQA for the Proposed
Project; and
WHEREAS, none of the conditions described in Sections 15162 or 15163 of the State
CEQA Guidelines calling for the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR or negative
declaration have occurred, specifically:
1. There have not been any substantial changes in the Proposed Project that require
major revisions of the CEQA Documents because of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
2. There have not been any substantial changes with respect to the circumstances
under which the Proposed Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the CEQA
Documents due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
3. There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and
could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time FSEIR No. 339
was certified as complete or the other CEQA Documents were adopted, that shows any of the
following: (a) the Proposed Project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in
FSEIR No. 339 or the other CEQA Documents; (b) significant effects previously examined will
be substantially more severe than shown in FSEIR No. 339 or the other CEQA Documents; (c)
mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would, in fact, be feasible
and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the Proposed Project, but the
Owner declines to adopt the mitigation measures or alternatives; or (d) mitigation measures or
alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in FSEIR No. 339 or the other
CEQA Documents would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment,
but the Owner decline to adopt the mitigation measures or alternatives; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, after due inspection, investigation and study made
by itself and in its behalf, and after due consideration of all evidence and reports offered at said
hearing with respect to the request for an amendment to a Minor Conditional Use Permit, does find
and determine the following facts:
1. The underlying zoning designation and General Plan land use designation have not
changed since the approval of the OCVIBE Mixed Use Project in 2022, which included the
Proposed Project as a component of the OCVIBE Master Site Plan.
2. The MCUP amendment to modify the OCVIBE Mural Plan would not require any
new waivers of code requirements. While the Proposed Project includes reduction in setbacks in
the final site plan, that request is not a component of the MCUP amendment to the OCVIBE Mural
Plan.
3. The MCUP amendment modifies one existing condition of approval to reference
the formal name of the OCVIBE Mural Plan, thereby maintaining equivalency and clarifying the
condition's effectiveness.
-3- PC2025-039
4. The MCUP amendment to the OCVIBE Mural Plan includes a minor modification
to add one mural on the elevator core wall along the east fagade of Parking Deck A. The applicant
submitted an exhibit that summarizes the change that will be reflected in the OCVIBE Mural Plan.
5. The nature of the approved use would not change as the OCVIBE Mural Plan
previously authorized murals as part of the overall development of public art in the OCVIBE
proj ect.
6. The addition of a single mural would not intensify the land use of the OCVIBE
project as the mural is an aesthetic enhancement that would not generate new activities, traffic, or
noise.
7. The project would continue to comply with all applicable building, fire, and safety
codes. Therefore, the setback reduction would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare, nor materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission determines that the evidence in the record
constitutes substantial evidence to support the actions taken and the findings made in this
Resolution, that the facts stated in this Resolution are supported by substantial evidence in the
record, including testimony received at the public hearing, the staff presentation, the staff report
and all materials in the project files. There is no substantial evidence, nor are there other facts, that
negate the findings made in this Resolution. The Planning Commission expressly declares that it
considered all evidence presented and reached these findings after due consideration of all
evidence presented to it.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, pursuant to the above findings, the Planning
Commission does hereby approve the amendment to the Minor Conditional Use Permit, in the
form presented at this meeting, contingent upon and subject to (1) the adoption of resolutions to
approve a Final Site Plan to construct a seven -story, 1,840-stall parking structure, a Minor
Amendment to the OCVIBE Master Site Plan to reflect the changes, and a Minor Conditional Use
Permit for reduced setbacks along Douglass Road and SR-57; and (2) the condition of approval
set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, which replaces in
its entirety Condition No. 3 of the Previous Conditions of Approval in the Original MCUP set forth
in Exhibit B of City Council Resolution No. 2024-113 which are hereby found to be a necessary
prerequisite to the proposed use of the Property in order to preserve the health, safety and general
welfare of the citizens of the City of Anaheim.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does hereby find and
determine that adoption of this Resolution is expressly predicated upon compliance with each and
all of the conditions hereinabove set forth. Should any such condition, or any part thereof, be
declared invalid or unenforceable by the final judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction,
then this Resolution, and any approvals herein contained, shall be deemed null and void.
