Development Application PLANNING SERVICES DIVISION 200 S. Anaheim Blvd., Suite 162 Anaheim, California 92805 (714)765-5139 Phone (714)765-5280 Fax www.anaheim.net/planning FEB 2021 Z102 INTRODUCTION Certain land use and development proposals require review and approval by the Planning & Building Director (“Director”), Planning Commission, and/or City Council. The City of Anaheim project entitlement process consists of the Application Phase, and the Administrative Review Phase or the Public Hearing Phase as outlined below. The filing deadlines for each phase are available on-line or at the Planning Services Counter. Planners are also available to help you at the Planning Services Counter, Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. or by calling the counter at (714) 765-5139. PROCEDURES Application Phase: City staff reviews an application to ensure that all of the required information is provided and to evaluate the project. Staff presents a recommendation to the decision making body and prepares recommended conditions of approval. Staff also conducts a preliminary review of the project’s impact on the environment and prepares the proper environmental documentation for the project. An architectural review may be conducted during this phase if City staff deems that it is necessary for the project. At the end of this 29-day review period, staff provides written comments, a recommendation, and recommended conditions of approval at the end of this phase, whether or not the application is ready to proceed to the next phase. If the application is complete, you will be provided with a tentative hearing date. After the comments are provided, you have the option to meet with City departments to address issues and discuss conditions of approval. Administrative Review Phase: The purpose of the administrative review is to provide for Director review of Minor Conditional Use Permit applications. City staff reviews an application to ensure that all of the required information is provided and to evaluate the project. Once the application is deemed complete, staff conducts an environmental review and public notices will be mailed to neighboring property owners and tenants as required by the Zoning Code. After completion of the public notice period, the Director will approve, conditionally approve, deny, or refer a project to the Planning Commission based upon staff’s analysis and any public comments received on the project. The Director’s decision may be appealed to the Planning Commission. If appealed, staff will schedule the application for a hearing before the Planning Commission; this process is described in the Public Hearing Phase section below. Public Hearing Phase: Once the Application Phase is complete, staff schedules the application for a hearing before the Planning Commission. Staff also conducts the final environmental review in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act during this phase. For more complex cases, the environmental documentation is completed prior to commencing the Public Hearing Phase. All legal noticing is prepared in accordance with State Law. There are very few or no plan changes during this phase. Staff prepares the staff report and a copy is sent to the applicant five days prior to the public hearing. At the public hearing, the Planning Commission will approve, conditionally approve, or deny the project based upon staff’s recommendation and any public testimony received. It is important that the applicant attend the hearing and be prepared to address any questions from the Planning Commission. Testimony from the public in written form or provided in person at the hearing will also be considered. The decision of the Planning Commission may be appealed to the City Council within 10 days of the decision.
