This development is within five planning Districts (Theme Park, Hotel, Parking, Future Expansion and District A) and a C -R Overlay, which allows development within the Overlay to either be consistent with the underlying Resort District or subject to the same land uses as in the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan No. 92 -2 Zone. The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan also identifies maximum development density designations for hotel /motel development in the Hotel District (up to 5,600 hotel rooms for the entire District with up to 1,000 hotel rooms transferable to the Theme Park District), in District A (the maximum number of units permitted would be 75 hotel /motel rooms per gross acre or 75 hotel /motel rooms per parcel existing on June 29, 1993, whichever is greater) and the C -R Overlay (the maximum number of units permitted on a parcel would be the following: 1) for parcels designated Low Density up to 50 hotel rooms per gross acre or 75 rooms, whichever is greater; and 2) for parcels designated Medium Density up to 75 hotel rooms per gross acre or 75 rooms, whichever is greater; provided that for those parcels that are developed with hotel /motel rooms which exceeded the maximum density designation, the number of rooms existing on the date of adoption of The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Ordinance may be rebuilt or modified at their existing density.) It should be noted that accessory uses may be developed as well as other visitor serving commercial /retail and restaurant uses along with these hotel /motel uses. The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan also provides for the development of the Anaheim GardenWalk project pursuant to the Anaheim GardenWalk Overlay at the following density and subject to the approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 4078, as amended, to permit the following: up to 569,750 square feet of specialty retail, restaurants, and entertainment uses, including movie theaters; 1,628 hotel rooms /suites (including up to 500 vacation ownership units) and 278,817 square feet of hotel accessory uses; a transportation center, and 4,800 parking spaces. The Anaheim GardenWalk Overlay encompasses District A and the portion of the Parking District (East Parking Area) /CR Overlay south of Disney Way. Note No. 2: The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan provides for the development of approximately 582 acres within the C -R (Commercial Recreation) District which allows for hotels, motels, convention and conference facilities, as well as restaurants, retail shops and entertainment facilities; the PR (Public Recreation) District which encompasses the Anaheim Convention Center and associated parking facilities and provides for the orderly use of City -owned property as well as the existing Anaheim Hilton Hotel; the Mobilehome Park (MHP) Overlay which encompasses existing mobilehome parks within the C -R District and provides development standards for mobilehome parks and regulations and procedures to mitigate relocation concerns and adverse effects of displacement upon mobilehome owners when a park is converted to another land use; and, the Anaheim Resort Residential Overlay, which applies to focused areas of the Specific Plan and provides for the incorporation of (i) residential uses into hotel developments when such uses are fully integrated into a minimum 300 room full service hotel, or (ii) wholly residential uses on designated properties that meet the affordability requirements of the Anaheim Resort Residential Overlay. The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan also identifies maximum development density designations in the C -R District. These designations are based upon hotel /motel development and allow up to 20% of each hotel /motel project gross square footage, excluding parking facilities, to be developed with integrated (i.e., included within the main hotel /motel complex) accessory uses. These accessory uses will reduce the otherwise maximum permitted hotel/motel density at the rate of one hotel /motel room per six hundred (600) gross square feet of accessory use. For properties proposed to be developed with permitted and conditionally permitted uses other than hotels /motels with accessory uses, the traffic generation characteristics of said uses shall not exceed those associated with the otherwise permitted hotel /motel (including accessory uses) density as determined by the City Traffic and Transportation Manager prior to Final Site Plan review and approval. The density designations are as follows: "Low Density," which has a maximum density of up to 50 rooms per gross acre or 75 rooms per lot or parcel, whichever is greater; "Low- Medium Density," up to 75 rooms per gross acre or 75 rooms per lot or parcel, whichever is greater; "Medium Density," up to 100 rooms per gross acre or 75 rooms per lot or parcel, whichever is greater; and, "Convention Center (CC) Medium Density," up to 125 rooms per gross acre with trip generation characteristics mitigated to the equivalent of 100 rooms per gross acre or 75 rooms per lot or parcel, whichever is greater. For those parcels that are developed with hotel /motel rooms which exceed the maximum density designation, the number of rooms existing on the date of adoption of the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan Ordinance may be rebuilt or modified at their existing density. For projects that are developed in accordance with the Anaheim Resort Residential Overlay, the maximum number of dwelling units allowed shall be less than the number of hotel rooms proposed and such projects shall not create infrastructure impacts greater than the subject property's permitted hotel /motel density, as permitted by the property's underlying C -R District density designation unless otherwise mitigated through subsequent environmental analysis. 2 Attachment C -1 Existing Planned Roadway Network Figure C -1 Cerritos Ave Orangewood Ave The Roadway Network Resort Smartstreet 8 Lanes, Divided Stadium Area Smartstreet 8 Lanes, Divided 6 Lanes, Divided Major Arterial 8 Lanes, Divided 6 Lanes, Divided Primary Arterial 6 Lanes, Divided 4 Lanes, Divided Secondary Arterial 4 Lanes Collector Street 2 Lanes Passenger and Commuter Rail Freeway Platinum Triangle Boundary i City Boundary 0 250 500 1.000 0 Feet THE PL/"\TiP UM City of Anaheim, CA City of Anaheim Planning Department November 28, 2007 2439 -46 Attachment C -2 Proposed Planned Roadway Network Figure C -1 The Roadway Network Resort Smartstreet 8 Lanes, Divided Stadium Area Smartstreet 8 Lanes, Divided 6 Lanes, Divided Major Arterial 8 Lanes, Divided 6 Lanes, Divided Primary Arterial 6 Lanes, Divided 4 Lanes, Divided Secondary Arterial 4 Lanes Collector Street 2 Lanes Passenger and Commuter Rail Freeway Platinum Triangle Boundary City Boundary 0 250 500 t000 Q Feel THE PLATINUM TRIANGLE City of Anaheim, CA City of Anaheim Planning Department November 28, 2007 2439 -46 Street Location Existing Designation Proposed Designation Katella Avenue between Manchester Avenue and Anaheim Way 6 Lane Major Arterial 8 Lane Stadium Smartstreet Douglass Road between Katella Avenue and the SR -57 undercrossing Interior Street 6 Lane Primary Arterial Rampart Street between Orangewood Avenue and the South City Limits adjacent to the City of Orange Interior Street Secondary Arterial West Dupont Drive between Orangewood Avenue and South Dupont Drive Interior Street Collector Street South Dupont Drive between West Dupont Drive and West Towne Centre Place Interior Street Collector Street Town Centre Place between South Dupont Drive and Rampart Street Interior Street Secondary Arterial Planned Roadway Network: Figure C -1 Description of Proposed Amendments Attachment C -3 Proposed Amendments to the Circulation Element (Figure C -1: Planned Roadway Network) will modify the designations of streets within The Platinum Triangle as follows: Attachment D -1 Existing Bicycle Facilities Figure C -5 00«.00.» Existing Class I Bikeway Exisitng Class II Bikeway Existing Class III Bikeway Existing Off Road Trail Proposed Off Road Trail Proposed Top Priority Class I Bikeway Proposed 2nd Priority Class I Bikeway Proposed 3rd Priority Class I Bikeway IMO 01•0111000 Proposed Top Priority Class II Bikeway Proposed 2nd Priority Class IT Bikeway Proposed 3rd Piority Class II Bikeway Proposed Top Priority Class III Bikeway Proposed 2nd Priority Class III Bikeway Proposed 3rd Priority Class III Bikeway 0 Existing Bicycle Parking Proposed Bicycle Parking Transit Station Park and -Ride Parks /Open Space School Platinum Triangle Boundary L_.._j City Boundary THL PLAINKUM TRIANGLE City of Anaheim, CA City of Anaheim Planning Department November 28, 2007 2439 -32 Attachment D -2 Proposed Bicycle Facilities Figure C -5 0 250 500 1,000 0 Feet ■00••0«.
