PC2012-*** A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM PLANNING COMMISSION DETERMINING THAT A DETERMINING THAT A CLASS 1 CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION IS THE APPROPRIATE ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION AND APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 3798, AND AMENDING CONDITIONS OF APROVAL OF RESOLUTION NO. ZA95-28 (DEV2012-00018) (721 SOUTH WEIR CANYON ROAD, SUITES 123-125) WHEREAS, on October 12, 1995, the Anaheim Zoning Administrator, by Resolution No. ZA95-28, did approve Conditional Use Permit No. 3798 to permit the sale of beer and wine for on-premises consumption in an existing restaurant; and WHEREAS, on October 22, 1998, the Anaheim Zoning Administrator, by Resolution No. ZA98-30, did approve an amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 3798 to permit a 900 square foot expansion to the existing 1,209 square foot restaurant with the sale of beer and wine for on-premises consumption; and WHEREAS, the Anaheim City Planning Commission (hereinafter referred to as "Planning Commission") did receive a verified petition to amend Conditional Use Permit No. 3798 to further expand an existing restaurant and upgrade a Type 41 (On-Sale Beer and Wine) ABC license to a Type 47 (On-Sale General) ABC license, which would allow the full sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption, for that certain real property located at 721 South Weir Canyon Road, Suites 123-125 in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, as more particularly shown on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference; and WHEREAS, the subject property is developed with a neighborhood shopping center and is located in the SP 88-1, Development Area 2 (SC) (Sycamore Canyon Specific Plan, Commercial Area, Scenic Corridor Overlay) zone. The Anaheim General Plan designates this property for Neighborhood Center land uses; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in the City of Anaheim on April 23, 2012, at 5:00 p.m., notice of said public hearing having been duly given as required by law and in accordance with the provisions of the Anaheim Municipal Code, Chapter 18.60, to hear and consider evidence for and against said proposed conditional use permit and to investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; and WHEREAS, said 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 the conditional use permit, does find and determine the following facts: - 2 - PC2012-*** 1. The request to amend the permit for an existing restaurant is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized under Code Section No. 18.08.030.010 (Alcoholic Beverage Sales - On Sale) of the Anaheim Municipal Code. 2. The operation of the restaurant, including the proposed expansion, will not adversely affect the adjoining land uses or the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located, as conditioned herein. 3. The size and shape of the site for the use is adequate to allow the full development of the proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area or to the health and safety as the operation of the restaurant is consistent with the operational characteristics of the shopping center. 4. The traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue burden upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area because the traffic generated by this use will not exceed the volume of traffic planned for the streets and highways in the area. 5. The granting of the conditional use permit will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim because the use is a bonafide full service restaurant with accessory alcoholic beverage sales and the restaurant is located within an existing commercial building at the intersection of two arterial highways. WHEREAS, the proposed project falls within the definition of Categorical Exemptions, Class 1 (Existing Facilities) as defined in the State CEQA Guidelines, and is therefore, exempt from the requirement to prepare additional environmental documentation. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission, for the reasons hereinabove stated does hereby approve an amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 3798 as described above. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does hereby amend and restate the conditions of approval adopted in connection with Conditional Use Permit No. 3798, to read as stated in Exhibit “B” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, which conditions are hereby found to be a necessary prerequisite to the proposed use of the subject property in order to preserve the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Anaheim. Extensions for further time to complete conditions of approval may be granted in accordance with Section 18.60.170 of the Anaheim Municipal Code. Timing for compliance with conditions of approval may be amended by the Planning Director upon a showing of good cause provided (i) equivalent timing is established that satisfies the original intent and purpose of the condition (s), (ii) the modification complies with the Anaheim Municipal Code and (iii) the applicant has demonstrated significant progress toward establishment of the use or approved development. - 3 - PC2012-*** BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this permit is approved without limitations on the hours of operation or the duration of the use. Amendments, modifications and revocations of this permit may be processed in accordance with Chapters 18.60.190 (Amendment to Permit Approval) and 18.60.200 (City-Initiated Revocation or Modification of Permits) of the Anaheim Municipal Code. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that, except as expressly amended herein, the provisions of Resolution Nos. ZA95-28 and ZA98-30, approving Conditional Use Permit No. 3798, shall remain if full force and effect. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Anaheim City Planning Commission does hereby find and determine that adoption of this Resolution is expressly predicated upon applicant's 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. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED 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. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the applicant is responsible for paying all charges related to the processing of this discretionary case application within 15 days of the issuance of the final invoice. Failure to pay all charges shall result in the revocation of the approval of this application. THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION was adopted at the Planning Commission meeting of April 23, 2012.

The proposed expansion an existing automotive repair facility in order to add a new service bay, storage area with accessory sales of parts and permit the sales of automobiles with a landscape setback less than required by code is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized under Section 18.08.030.040.0402 of the Anaheim Municipal Code. 2. The proposed expansion an existing automotive repair facility in order to add a new service bay, storage area with a landscape setback less than required by code will not adversely affect the adjoining land uses, or the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located because this facility has been in this location since 1996, with minimal impacts to the surrounding community; 3. The size and shape of the site proposed expansion for an existing automotive repair facility is adequate to allow the full development of the proposed use, in a manner not detrimental to either the particular area or health and safety; 4. The traffic generated by the expansion an existing automotive repair facility will not increase or impose an undue burden upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area because the traffic generated by this use will not exceed the volume of traffic planned for the streets and highways in the area; 5. The granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim and will improve the aesthetics of the areas and continue to provide a land use that is compatible with the surrounding area. - 3 - PC2012-*** WHEREAS, the Planning Commission does further find and determine that the requested variance to allow a landscape setback less than required by code should be approved for the following reasons: 1. That there are special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, which do not apply to other property under identical zoning classification in the vicinity. The configuration of this property restricts the ability to expand and enclose the use and eliminate the outdoor visibility of the automotive use which is desirable because of the proximity of the residential use to the south. Further, because the facility abuts an existing driveway adjacent to the residential use, expansion opportunity is restricted; 2. That, because of the proximity of the driveway adjacent to the residential use configuration, site size and surroundings, strict application of the Zoning Code would deprive the property of privileges enjoyed by other property under identical zoning classification in the vicinity. WHEREAS, the proposed project falls within the definition of Categorical Exemptions, Class 1 (Existing Facilities) as defined in the State CEQA Guidelines, and is therefore, exempt from the requirement to prepare additional environmental documentation. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission, for the reasons hereinabove stated does hereby approve the amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 3843 (CUP3843D) to permit the expansion of an existing automotive repair facility to add a new service bay, storage area, accessory sales of parts and permit the sale of automobiles with a landscape setback less than required by code. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does hereby amend, in their entirety, the conditions of approval adopted in connection with Planning Commission Resolution No. PC96-55, approving Conditional Use Permit No. 3843, as previously amended, to read as stated in Exhibit “B” attached hereto and incorporated by this reference which are hereby found to be a necessary prerequisite to the proposed use of the subject property in order to preserve the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Anaheim. Extensions for further time to complete conditions of approval may be granted in accordance with Section 18.60.170 of the Anaheim Municipal Code. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that, except as expressly amended herein, the provisions of Resolution No. PC2008-96, approving Conditional Use Permit No. 3843, as previously approved, shall remain if full force and effect. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this permit is approved without limitations on the duration of the use. Amendments, modifications and revocations of this permit may be processed in accordance with Chapters 18.60.190 (Amendment to Permit Approval) and 18.60.200 (City-Initiated Revocation or Modification of Permits) of the Anaheim Municipal Code. - 4 - PC2012-*** BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED 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 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the applicant is responsible for paying all charges related to the processing of this discretionary case application within 15 days of the issuance of the final invoice.

That the applicant requests a variance to construct a new freestanding sign with a size that is greater than permitted by code: SECTION NO. 18.44.090.020.0201 Maximum Height of Freestanding Sign (8 feet permitted; 23 feet proposed) SECTION NO. 18.44.090.020.0201 Maximum Size of Freestanding Sign (60 square feet permitted; 81 feet proposed) 2. The requested variance is hereby approved because there are special circumstances applicable to the property because of the lack of visibility of the property due to the increased grade of Imperial Highway. - 2 - PC2012-*** 3. Strict application of the Code would deprive the property of privileges enjoyed by other properties under the identical zoning classification in the vicinity because another variance was approved for a commercial retail center across Imperial Highway from the subject property for a freestanding sign due to the lack of visibility from Imperial Highway. WHEREAS, the proposed project falls within the definition of Categorical Exemptions, Section 15301, Class 11 (Accessory Structures) as defined in the State CEQA Guidelines, and is therefore, exempt from the requirement to prepare additional environmental documentation. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does hereby approve Variance No. 2011-04878 subject to the conditions of approval described in Exhibit “B” attached hereto and incorporated by this reference, which are hereby found to be a necessary prerequisite to the proposed use of the subject property in order to preserve the health, safety and general welfare of the Citizens of the City of Anaheim. Extensions for further time to complete conditions of approval may be granted in accordance with Section 18.60.170 of the Anaheim Municipal Code. Timing for compliance with conditions of approval may be amended by the Planning Director upon a showing of good cause provided (i) equivalent timing is established that satisfies the original intent and purpose of the condition (s), (ii) the modification complies with the Anaheim Municipal Code and (iii) the applicant has demonstrated significant progress toward establishment of the use or approved development. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this Variance is approved without limitations on the duration of the use. Amendments, modifications and revocations of this permit may be processed in accordance with Chapters 18.60.190 (Amendment to Permit Approval) and 18.60.200 (City-Initiated Revocation or Modification of Permits) of the Anaheim Municipal Code.

PC2012-*** A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION DETERMINING THAT PREVIOUSLY-CERTIFIED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT NO. 2010-00343 AND ADDENDUM ARE THE APPROPRIATE ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION AND RECOMMENDING CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2010-05492 (DEV2010-00043A) (2626 EAST KATELLA AVENUE) WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did receive a verified Petition for Conditional Use Permit No. 2010-05492, as described below; and WHEREAS, the applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to permit a transit facility (the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center); and WHEREAS, the subject property is developed with industrial uses and is located in the Semi Public (SP) Zone and the Platinum Triangle Mixed Use (PTMU) Overlay Zone, and the Anaheim General Plan designates this property for Mixed-Use land uses; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in the City of Anaheim on April 23, 2012, at 5:00 p.m., notice of said public hearing having been duly given as required by law and in accordance with the provisions of the Anaheim Municipal Code, Chapter 18.60, to hear and consider evidence for and against said proposed amendment to conditional use permit and to investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; and WHEREAS, said 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, does find and determine the following facts: 1. The proposed request to permit a transit facility is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by Anaheim Municipal Code Section 18.14.030.040.0402 (Transit Facilities). 2. The proposed conditional use permit, as conditioned herein, would not adversely affect the adjoining land uses and the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located because the transit facility would be a relocation of an existing transit facility located approximately one quarter mile away, in a larger facility with more parking and services than the existing station, and said transit facility would not be detrimental to the adjacent properties. 3. The size and shape of the site for the use is adequate to allow the full development of the proposed project in a manner not detrimental to the particular area or to the health and safety. - 2 - PC2012-*** 4. The traffic generated by the proposed project will not impose an undue burden upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area because the proposed project includes street improvements to adequately serve the traffic generated by the transit facility. 5. The granting of the conditional use permit and the variance under the conditions imposed will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim as the proposed project will be compatible with the surrounding area through conditions of approval for the use and is not a health or safety risk to the citizens of the City of Anaheim. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FINDING: The Planning Commission has reviewed the proposed Conditional Use Permit for a transit facility and does recommend that the City Council, based on its independent review of Previously-Certified Environmental Impact Report No. 343 and Addendum prepared in connection with the Anaheim Regional Intermodal Center, and the requirements of California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), unless additional or contrary information is received during the public meeting, find and determine that Previously-Certified Environmental Impact Report No. 343 and Addendum are adequate to serve as the required environmental documentation for said proposed Conditional Use Permit and satisfy all the requirements of CEQA; and that no further environmental documentation need be prepared for the proposed Conditional Use Permit. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission, for the reasons hereinabove specified does hereby recommend City Council approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2010-05492 to permit a transit facility. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that amendments, modifications and revocations of this permit may be processed in accordance with Chapters 18.60.190 (Amendment to Permit Approval) and 18.60.200 (City-Initiated Revocation or Modification of Permits) of the Anaheim Municipal Code.

Public Works Department Development Services Division [DRAFT] ATTACHMENT NO. 4 -1- PC2012-*** RESOLUTION NO. PC2012-*** A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL AMEND THE PLATINUM TRIANGLE MASTER LAND USE PLAN (MISCELLANEOUS CASE NO. 2012-00535) (DEV2010-00043A) WHEREAS, the Platinum Triangle comprises approximately 820 acres located at the confluence of Interstate 5 and SR-57 Freeways in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, generally east of Interstate 5 Freeway, west of the Santa Ana River channel and SR-57 Freeway, south of the Southern California Edison easement, and north of the Anaheim City limit area. The Platinum Triangle encompasses the Angel Stadium of Anaheim, the Honda Center, the City National Grove of Anaheim, the Anaheim Amtrak/Metrolink Station, and surrounding residential and mixed use development, light industrial buildings, industrial parks, distribution facilities, offices, hotels, restaurants, and retail development; and WHEREAS, since 1996, the Anaheim City Council (the "City Council") has approved several actions relating to the area encompassed by the Platinum Triangle; and WHEREAS, on May 30, 1996, the Anaheim City Planning Commission (the "Planning Commission") certified Final Environmental Impact Report No. 320 and adopted Area Development Plan No. 120 for that portion of the Stadium property associated with the Sportstown Development. Area Development Plan No. 120, which entitled a total of 119,543 seats for new and/or renovated stadiums, 750,000 square feet of urban entertainment/retail uses, a 500-room hotel (550,000 square feet), a 150,000-square-foot exhibition center, 250,000 square feet of office development and 15,570 on-site parking spaces. The Grove of Anaheim, the renovated Angel Stadium of Anaheim, and the Stadium Gateway Office Building were developed/ renovated under this plan; and WHEREAS, on March 2, 1999, the City Council adopted the Anaheim Stadium Area Master Land Use Plan (MLUP). The boundaries for this MLUP were generally the same as those for the Platinum Triangle, with the exception that this MLUP included 15 acres adjacent to I-5 that are not a part of the current Platinum Triangle boundaries. As part of the approval process for the Anaheim Stadium Area MLUP, the City Council also certified Final Environmental Impact Report No. 321 and adopted Mitigation Monitoring Program No. 106. Development within the boundaries of the Anaheim Stadium Area Master Land Use Plan was implemented through the Sports Entertainment (SE) Overlay Zone, which permitted current uses to continue or expand within the provisions of the existing zoning, while providing those who may want to develop sports, entertainment, retail, and office uses with standards appropriate to those uses, including increased land use intensity. Implementation of this Overlay Zone was projected to result in a net loss of 491,303 square feet of industrial space and increases of 1,871,285 square feet of new office space, 452,026 square feet of new retail space, and 991,603 square feet of new hotel space. Projects that were developed under the SE Overlay Zone included the Ayers Hotel, the Arena Corporate Center, and the Westwood School of Technology; and -2- PC2012-*** WHEREAS, on May 25, 2004, the City Council approved a comprehensive citywide General Plan and Zoning Code Update, which included a new vision for the Platinum Triangle. The General Plan Update changed the General Plan designations within the project area from Commercial Recreation and Business Office/Mixed Use/Industrial to Mixed-Use, Office-High, Office-Low, Industrial, Open Space and Institutional to provide opportunities for existing uses to transition to mixed- use, residential, office, and commercial uses. The General Plan Update also established the overall maximum development intensities for the Platinum Triangle, which permitted up to 9,175 dwelling units, 5,000,000 square feet of office space, 2,044,300 square feet of commercial uses, industrial development at a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 0.50, and institutional development at a maximum FAR of 3.0. In addition, the square footage/seats allocated to the existing Honda Center and all of the development intensity entitled by Area Development Plan No. 120 was incorporated into the Platinum Triangle Mixed- Use land use designation. Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) No. 330, which was prepared for the General Plan and Zoning Code Update and associated actions, analyzed the above development intensities on a citywide impact level and adopted mitigation monitoring programs, including an Updated and Modified Mitigation Monitoring Plan No. 106 for the Platinum Triangle; and WHEREAS, in order to provide the implementation tools necessary to realize the City’s new vision for the Platinum Triangle, on August 17, 2004, the City Council replaced the Anaheim Stadium Area MLUP with the Platinum Triangle Master Land Use Plan (the "PTMLUP"), replaced the SE Overlay Zone with the Platinum Triangle Mixed Use (PTMU) Overlay Zone, approved the form of the Standardized Platinum Triangle Development Agreement and approved associated zoning reclassifications. Under these updated zoning regulations, property owners desiring to develop under the PTMU Overlay Zone provisions are required to enter into a standardized Development Agreement with the City of Anaheim; and WHEREAS, on June 7, 2005, City Council approved three Development Agreements to govern the development of an approximate 14.64-acre project on three parcels located within the Platinum Triangle at 1515 East Katella Avenue (Development Agreement No. 2005-00001), 1781 South Campton Avenue (Development Agreement No. 2005-00002), and 1551 East Wright Circle (Development Agreement No. 2005-00003); and determined that previously-certified FEIR No. 330; the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for Development Agreement Nos. 2005-00001, 2005-00002 and 2005-00003; and, Mitigation Monitoring Plan No. 128 were adequate to serve as the required environmental documentation for the proposed project; and WHEREAS, on October 25, 2005, the City Council approved amendments to the General Plan, the PTMLUP, and the PTMU Overlay Zone to increase the allowable development intensities within the Platinum Triangle to 9,500 residential units; 5,000,000 square feet of office uses; and 2,254,400 square feet of commercial uses, and certified Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (FSEIR) No. 332 including Updated and Modified Mitigation Monitoring Plan No. 106A for the PTMLUP as the required environmental documentation for said amendments; and WHEREAS, following the certification of FSEIR No. 332, the City Council approved two addendums to FSEIR No. 332 in conjunction with requests to increase the Platinum Triangle intensity by 67 residential units; 55,550 square feet of office development; and 10,000 square feet of commercial uses. A project Environmental Impact Report was also approved to increase the allowable development intensities by an additional 699 residential units to bring the total allowable development intensity within -3- PC2012-*** the Platinum Triangle to up to 10,266 residential units; 5,055,550 square feet of office uses; and 2,264,400 square feet of commercial uses; and WHEREAS, on February 13, 2007, the City embarked upon a process to amend the General Plan, the PTMLUP, the PTMU Overlay Zone, the Platinum Triangle Standardized Development Agreement, and related zoning reclassifications to increase the allowable development intensities within the Platinum Triangle to up to 18,363 residential units; 5,657,847 square feet of commercial uses; 16,819,015 square feet of office uses; and 1,500,000 square feet of institutional uses (the "Platinum Triangle Expansion Project"); and WHEREAS, as required by law, the City Council certified Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report for the Platinum Triangle Expansion Project (FSEIR No. 334), including Updated and Modified Mitigation Monitoring Plan No. 106B for the PTMLUP, in December 2007 and again in April as the required environmental documentation for said amendments and related zoning reclassifications; and WHEREAS, following the approval of FSEIR No. 334, a lawsuit was filed challenging the adequacy of FSEIR No. 334. In consideration of the City’s exemplary historical record in avoiding CEQA litigation and its commitment to proper environmental review, the City Council repealed the approval of the Platinum Triangle Expansion Project, including FSEIR No. 334 and various related actions, and directed staff to prepare a new Subsequent Environmental Impact Report for the project; and WHEREAS, on October 26, 2010, the City Council approved amendments to the General Plan, the PTMLUP, the PTMU Overlay Zone, and related zoning reclassifications to increase the allowable development intensities within the PTMU Overlay Zone to up to 18,909 residential units; 14,340,522 square feet of office uses; and 4,909,682 square feet of commercial uses; and 1,500.000 square feet of institutional uses, and Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report for the Revised Platinum Triangle Expansion Project (FSIER No. 339), including Updated and Modified Mitigation Monitoring Plan No. 106C for the PTMLUP as the required environmental documentation for said amendments and related zoning reclassifications; and WHEREAS, on April 23, 2012, the applicant requested amendments to subsections 4.2.1 (Katella Avenue) and 4.2.5 (Douglass Road) of Section 4.2 of Chapter 4 of the PTMLUP as further described in Exhibit A; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing on April 23, 2012, pertaining to said amendment to the Platinum Triangle Master Land Use Plan, notice of said hearing having been duly given as required by law and in accordance with the provisions of the Anaheim Municipal Code, Chapter 18.60, to hear and consider evidence for and against said amendment and to investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; and WHEREAS, said Commission, after due consideration, inspection, investigation and study made by itself, and after due consideration of all evidence and reports offered at said hearing, does hereby find and determine as follows: -4- PC2012-*** 1. The Planning Commission has recommended that the City Council approve said amendment to the Platinum Triangle Master Land Use Plan to revise the Landscape Concept Plan and Cross Sections for Katella Avenue and Douglass Road. 2.

CITY OF ANAHEIM ) I, Grace Medina, Senior Secretary for the Anaheim Planning Commission, do hereby certify that the foregoing resolution was passed and adopted at a meeting of the Anaheim Planning Commission held on April 23, 2012, by the following vote of the members thereof: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: NOES: COMMISSIONERS: ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 23rd day of April, 2012. ______________________________________________________ SENIOR SECRETARY, ANAHEIM PLANNING COMMISSION -6- PC2012-*** Exhibit “A” Additions are shown in red bold and deletions are shown in red strikethrough. 4.2.1 Katella Avenue The central feature of Katella Avenue, between the Santa Ana Freeway and the entrance to Angel Stadium of Anaheim, The City National Grove of Anaheim and the Amtrak/Metrolink station, is the grove-style planting of Date Palms. This planting continues the treatment of Katella Avenue in The Anaheim Resort west of the Santa Ana Freeway. Mass plantings of Agapanthus, a purple flowering shrub, provide a low shrub under-story for the Date Palms located in the parkway. A second row of matching Date Palms will be planted in the setback area in six-foot square cut-outs. The maintenance of the setback area is the responsibility of the property owner. The median will also consist of Date Palms, with flowering vines such as Bougainvillea ‘San Diego Red’ attached to the trunk of the tree in combination with alternate mass plantings of Agapanthus shrubs and Star Jasmine ground cover. Adjacent to ground floor commercial uses, the setback area will be paved to provide pedestrian access. The landscaping for Katella Avenue changes near the railroad grade separation and further east to the City limits. Along this section of Katella Avenue, the Date Palms are eliminated within the Pedestrian/Landscape Realm and large-scaled Mexican Fan single row of Date Palms are planted within the parkways. 4.2.5 Douglass Road North of Katella Avenue, Douglass Road will contain four travel lanes and bike lanes. The street landscape will consist of a double row of Mexican Fan Palms in the parkway and setback areas. Bougainvillea (Bougainvillea) will be attached to the base of the palm trunks and yellow and orange Daylilies or a similar low red flowering shrub will be planted at the base of the palm trees. Adjacent to the Honda Center, the median will be a painted median to allow for better traffic flow in and out of the Honda Center and Angel Stadium of Anaheim (Figure 33). North of the Honda Center, the median will be a raised median planted with a single row of green canopy trees and a single species of massed flowering groundcover. South of Katella Avenue, the streetscape design will be determined as part of the development process for ARTIC Douglass Road will include up to eight travel lanes at the Katella Avenue intersection. The median will not be landscaped to allow for better traffic flow in and out of the Anaheim Regional Transportation Center and Angel Stadium of Anaheim. The street landscape will consist of a row of Mexican Fan Palms in the parkway and Canopy Tree (Chinese Flame Tree or similar canopy tree) within the setback area (Figure 33a). On the west side of Douglass Road, south of the ARTIC entrance intersection, no sidewalk is planned due to the narrow railroad bridge span. -7- PC2012-*** -8- PC2012-*** ATTACHMENT NO. 5 April 2012 EIR Addendum Prepared for: Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center State Clearinghouse #: 2009071071 ATTACHMENT NO. 6 Addendum to the Final EIR ADDENDUM TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center Anaheim, California State Clearinghouse Number: 2009071071 Environmental Impact Report Number: EIR2010-00343 Master Case Number: DEV2010-00043 Prepared for: City of Anaheim, Public Works 200 S.

Environmental Impact Report (Final EIR – SCH No. 2009071071) for the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC) project and the associated General Plan Amendment (GPA2010-00480) that were approved by the City of Anaheim (City) council on September 28, 2010. This Addendum has been prepared because the City has proposed revisions to the original project description. This Addendum provides an evaluation of proposed revisions to the original ARTIC project description. 1.1 BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW 1.1.1 Background The City, in partnership with the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), proposes to relocate the existing Anaheim Metrolink/Amtrak Station that is south of Katella Avenue and adjacent to the City National Grove of Anaheim. The new location will be approximately one quarter (0.25) mile east along the existing OCTA railroad right-of-way (ROW). The OCTA railroad ROW is part of the Los Angeles to San Diego (LOSSAN) Corridor. The total project site is approximately 19 acres, comprised of 16 acres for the facilities, two acres of OCTA and City roads and ROW, and less than one acre of Caltrans ROW. Approximately 18 of the 19 total acres are owned by OCTA and the City. The 405 parking spaces at the existing Anaheim Metrolink/Amtrak Station are not included in the acreage count as only minor improvements related to parking management are anticipated. The existing parking lot will continue its current use for the ARTIC project. ARTIC is envisioned to include the development of an Intermodal Terminal, Public Plaza/Drop-Off Area, Pedestrian Concourse Bridge, Stadium Pedestrian Tunnel, the Tracks/Platforms, Baggage Tunnel, and Surface Parking/Access. 1.1.2 Prior Environmental Review With the City as the lead agency, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared for the ARTIC project in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Notice of Preparation (NOP) for the EIR was published on February 10, 2010 and circulated to the public, local, state and federal agencies, and other interested parties. In addition to the public and agency comment period, a public scoping meeting was conducted on February 24, 2010 in the City of Anaheim. The Draft EIR was published on July 21, 2010 and circulated for public and agency review until September 3, 2010. On September 13, 2010, the Planning Commission adopted resolutions recommending City Council certification of the Final EIR and approval of General Plan Amendment No. 2010-00480. On September 28, 2010, the Anaheim City Council held a public hearing to consider the Planning Commission’s recommendations. Subsequently, the City Council certified the Final EIR, adopted CEQA findings, statement of overriding considerations, and mitigation monitoring plan and approved the General Plan Amendment. 1.2 PURPOSE OF THE EIR ADDENDUM According to Section 15164(a) of the CEQA Guidelines, the lead agency or a responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are EIR Addendum 1.0 Introduction 1-2 necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 exist. Section 15162 of the Guidelines lists the conditions that would require the preparation of a subsequent EIR rather than an addendum. These include the following: 1. Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; 2. Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or 3. New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time of the previous EIR was certified as complete or the negative declaration was adopted, shows any of the following: a. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration; b. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; 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 project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or d. Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. If none of the above conditions are met, the lead agency may not require preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. Rather, the lead agency can decide that no further environmental documentation is necessary or can require an Addendum be prepared. As revisions to the ARTIC project description do not meet the conditions listed in Section 15162, an Addendum is considered the appropriate document to discuss the environmental implications of the revised project. Consequently, a Subsequent EIR is not required. Nonetheless, CEQA requires that the lead agency support this determination with substantial evidence in the record. This Addendum serves as that vehicle, and a review of its contents substantiates the finding that the information provided herein merely updates, clarifies, and amplifies the information provided in the certified September 2010 Final EIR (Final EIR) for the ARTIC project. The rationale and the facts that support this finding are provided in the body of this Addendum. EIR Addendum 1.0 Introduction 1-3 1.3 FORMAT OF THIS ADDENDUM This Addendum has been organized into four chapters, as described below: Chapter 1.0 – Introduction: This chapter includes a description of the background of the project, prior environmental review, and purpose of this Addendum. Chapter 2.0 – Project Description: This chapter provides a description of the original project description that was approved in the Final EIR, the revised project description addressed in this Addendum, and a comparison of the two. Chapter 3.0 – Comparative Evaluation of Environmental Impacts: This chapter addresses project changes with the potential to have an effect on the environment and includes analyses of impacts of the revised project compared with impacts analyzed in the Final EIR. Chapter 4.0 – Conclusion: This chapter summarizes the information and findings developed in the previous chapters. EIR Addendum 2.0 Project Description 2-1 2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1 ORIGINAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION ARTIC will relocate the existing Anaheim Metrolink/Amtrak Station to accommodate growing passenger demand and increased ridership expected with Metrolink, Amtrak, and other transportation services. The new location will be located approximately one quarter (0.25) mile east along the existing OCTA railroad ROW. The Intermodal Terminal will be no more than a three-level building of approximately 310,000 gross square feet that is comprised of approximately 140,000 square feet at-grade or above-grade and approximately 170,000 square feet below the building. The tracks and platforms are envisioned to consist of two through-tracks and one single-ended siding track (stub-end track) with a platform as large as 86,000 square feet. ARTIC will also include a Bus Transit Center, Metrolink/Amtrak Concourse, Public Hall/Waiting Area, Program Space, Public Plaza/Drop-Off Area, Stadium Pavilion, Katella Avenue Pedestrian Bridge, and a pedestrian trail easement. Additionally, Douglass Road will be lowered approximately 8 feet from the existing road surface at its lowest point, and approximately 1,100 total linear feet will be re-graded. ARTIC is also envisioned to include approximately 960 (includes the existing 405 spaces) surface parking spaces. The existing surface parking spaces will be accessed by vehicles from Katella Avenue via Stadium Crossing (formerly identified as Sportstown). The main vehicle access to the Bus Transit Center and the Public Plaza/Drop-Off Area would be via Douglass Road from Katella Avenue, which also serves as an entry and exit during events occurring at Angel Stadium. A secondary right-in/right-out access would be provided to ARTIC from Katella Avenue. Additionally, Douglass Road between the Angel Stadium Parking Lot and the Railroad Bridge will consist of four lanes and Douglass Road from the Railroad Bridge to Katella Avenue would be widened to an eight-lane configuration as it approaches Katella Avenue and four lanes under the Railroad Bridge. A left-turn pocket from Douglass Road into the Bus Transit Center, and a southbound left turn pocket for the main entrance into ARTIC will be provided. Northbound lane configuration will have two left-turn lanes, one through-lane, one right-turn/through-lane and one right-turn lane for northbound traffic. Three lanes are proposed for southbound traffic. 2.2 REVISED PROJECT DESCRIPTION ADDRESSED IN ADDENDUM ARTIC will be approximately 0.25 miles east of the Anaheim Metrolink/Amtrak Station. This location is south of Katella Avenue, on an approximately 19-acre site which is owned by OCTA and the City (Figure 2.2-1b and Figure 2.2-2b). In addition to the two main parcels, improvements will be made to approximately 2 acres of OCTA and City ROW and less than an acre of Caltrans ROW. ARTIC will include the development of an Intermodal Terminal, Public Plaza/Drop-Off Area, Pedestrian Concourse Bridge, Stadium Pedestrian Tunnel, Tracks/Platforms, Baggage Tunnel, Douglass Road Improvements, Katella Avenue Improvements, and Surface Parking/Access (Figure 2.2-3b). The project will also include improvements to Douglass Road and Katella Avenue.

Approximately 12,075 square feet will be available for commercial tenants and 960 square feet allocated to retail kiosks located inside and outside the building. The Intermodal Terminal will be encased in a translucent glazing material and rise to a maximum of 150 feet above the existing ground level. The Intermodal Terminal will be adjacent to the Tracks/Platforms and located north of the LOSSAN corridor. The at-grade and above-grade levels will include the Bus Transit Center, Public Hall, commercial tenant space, and access to the Pedestrian Concourse Bridge. Bus Transit Center The Bus Transit Center will include waiting areas, bus bays, driving lanes, on three sides of the Intermodal Terminal. The Bus Transit Center will contain 13 bus bay spaces and one straight curb space, four curbside bus spaces for OCTA bus staging and layover, 6 parking spaces for OCTA and service provider supervisors, and at-grade service dock space. Pedestrian Concourse Bridge The Pedestrian Concourse Bridge will connect the upper level of the Terminal Building with the passenger platforms. The bridge will span the at-grade bus facility, the two tracks, and the two platforms. Public Hall The Public Hall will be located on the first level of the Intermodal Terminal and utilize approximately 14,410 square feet. This space is designed to enhance the traveling public’s experience. The uses will include terminal operations, passenger-oriented retail/restaurants, and passenger waiting areas. This area has access to exterior Public Plaza/Drop-Off Area and public parking to the north. 2.2.2 Baggage Tunnel Near the east end of the rail platforms, there will be a tunnel under the tracks and platforms with ramps to the passenger platforms. Access to this tunnel will be via ramps leading to and from the platforms. This tunnel will be used for moving baggage and providing access for maintenance activities. 2.2.3 Public Plaza/Drop-Off Area ARTIC will include an exterior Public Plaza/Drop-Off Area with two traffic islands. The Public Plaza/Drop-Off Area will be north of the Intermodal Terminal and south of Katella Avenue. The Public Plaza/Drop-Off Area is intended to be used for taxi and private automobile Drop-Off, with a designated walkway from the Intermodal Terminal to the surface parking south of Katella Avenue. There will be one-way vehicle circulation around the Public Plaza/Drop-Off Area with access from Douglass Road and Katella Avenue. EIR Addendum 2.0 Project Description 2-6 2.2.4 Stadium Pedestrian Tunnel The Stadium Pedestrian Tunnel will be located northwest of SR-57, along the LOSSAN corridor, and will provide a pedestrian tunnel under the tracks and platforms. The Stadium Pedestrian Tunnel will provide access to Angel Stadium, surface parking, and the Tracks/Platforms. The Stadium Pedestrian Tunnel will include ramps and stairways. This tunnel is in addition to the existing tunnel associated with the current Amtrak/Metrolink station, which will remain in place. 2.2.5 Tracks/Platforms The Tracks/Platforms construction work will be within OCTA ROW, Caltrans ROW, and Anaheim property that are bounded by the Santa Ana River to the east and Katella Avenue to the north. There will be no improvements to the existing Santa Ana River railroad bridge or the existing Katella Avenue railroad bridge. The current rail operations, the station operations, and related facilities operations will be maintained during construction. The two side platforms will be a minimum of 16 feet wide and a maximum of 38 feet wide with additional width at the east end for vertical circulation. The platforms will be approximately 1,000 feet in length. A replacement railroad bridge will be constructed over Douglass Road to accommodate the two- track/two-platform alignment (Figure 2.2-4b). Passengers are intended to access the platforms from the Pedestrian Concourse Bridge that connects the Intermodal Terminal to the station platforms. The platforms can also be accessed from the south surface parking (Lot B) and the existing surface parking (Lot C) (See Section 2.2.10 for a detailed description of parking). Canopies will be provided on the rail platforms per the requirements of Amtrak and Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) /Metrolink. 2.2.6 Douglass Road Improvements Douglass Road Between Angel Stadium Parking Lot and the Railroad Bridge This section of roadway currently has four reversible lanes without a sidewalk. To maximize the person carrying capacity of the road within the physical constraints of the SR-57 overpass, it is proposed that Douglass Road be improved to allow a pedestrian sidewalk on one side of Douglass Road under the SR-57 overpass. Douglass Road from the Railroad Bridge to Katella Avenue Douglass Road will be four lanes wide under the Railroad Bridge. The typical section will have two lanes in each direction for typical daily use plus a two-way left turn lane. The design will not incorporate a raised median so that reversible lanes can be employed to manage heavy event traffic conditions. Douglass Road will initially be widened to a seven-lane configuration as it approaches Katella Avenue and eventually widened to eight lanes as traffic warrants (Figure 2.2- 5b). A southbound left-turn pocket from Douglass Road into the Bus Transit Center is provided along Douglass Road just north of the Railroad Bridge. A southbound left-turn pocket will be provided for the main entrance into ARTIC.

This width will allow for a portion of Douglass Road ultimately having eight lanes south of the Katella Avenue intersection. The ultimate northbound lane configuration is proposed to have two left-turn lanes, one through lane, one right-turn/through lane and one right- turn lane for northbound traffic. There will be three lanes for southbound traffic. In order to reach the proposed Douglass Road width of approximately 120 feet, a total of approximately 24,145 square feet of ROW located along the east side of Douglass Road (22,477 square feet) and the south side of Katella Avenue (1,668 square feet) will be acquired from the retail center. The widening of Douglass Road will require reconfiguration of driveway access and parking areas on both sides of Douglass Road. One retail business and two vacant commercial spaces are located on the parcel that will be acquired. Douglass Road – Vertical Profile In the vicinity of the Railroad Bridge, Douglass Road will be lowered approximately five feet at its lowest point, from the existing road surface. Lowering Douglass Road is necessary to meet vertical clearance requirements for the new bridge. The proposed profile will meet the Metrolink vertical clearance standard of 15.5 feet for overcrossings. Approximately 1,100 total linear feet of Douglass Road will be re-graded. This re-grading will center north and south of the Railroad Bridge along Douglass Road to meet the grade requirements. A maximum vertical profile of six percent will be used in accordance with Caltrans Highway Design Standards for Urban Highways. Katella Avenue Improvements Katella Avenue will require up to six feet of widening to accommodate a new eastbound through lane at the Douglass Road and Katella Avenue intersection. This through lane will feed a right- turn lane into ARTIC. The minimum width of curb lanes will be 13 feet and all other lanes will be 11 feet wide. The existing bus stop on Katella Avenue will be retained. 2.2.7 Katella Avenue Pedestrian Bridge The pedestrian bridge will not be included for opening day and will be constructed at a later date. It will be constructed over Katella Avenue, connecting the project site and the Honda Center. The bridge would be a clear span bridge approximately 175 feet long, 20 feet wide, and 17 feet clear above Katella Avenue. Supports within Katella Avenue would not be required. It is proposed that the bridge will include both elevators and stairwells on the north and south ends, with stairwells extending approximately 50 feet from the bridge. The bridge and stairways would be covered, but the bridge would be open on both sides. The touchdown point on the south side of the bridge is proposed within the OCTA owned parcel of the ARTIC site. The touchdown point on the north side of the bridge is proposed within the Honda Center site, which is leased to the Honda Center by the City of Anaheim. The construction of the bridge will accommodate future widening of Katella Avenue on the north side of the street as per the General Plan and the Platinum Triangle Master Land Use Plan. The bridge would also be designed to accommodate widening on the south side of Katella Avenue to incorporate anticipated improvements associated with the ARTIC project. EIR Addendum 2.0 Project Description 2-10 2.2.8 ARTIC Pedestrian Trail A trail easement, parallel to the existing Santa Ana River Trail and within the ARTIC site boundaries, is envisioned to be located along the east side of ARTIC between the railroad ROW and Katella Avenue. Grant proposals have been submitted for projects that include building a new retaining wall; making a wider elevated area with 1,600-foot long separate, designated bikeway (existing) and permeable pedestrian/equestrian pathway (new); adding lighting, fencing and seating; adding landscaping, carbon sequestering trees; adding drainage improvements and connections to the ARTIC stormwater system; providing interpretive, educational signage; and, providing easy and safe access from the Trail to ARTIC. The ARTIC pedestrian trail will be constructed based upon available funding. 2.2.9 Surface Parking/Access ARTIC will have approximately 1,082 surface parking spaces. ARTIC parking will be located in four locations. These surface locations are the existing Anaheim Metrolink/Amtrak parking (existing surface parking, Lot C), the parking south of the Intermodal Terminal and the railroad tracks (south surface parking, Lot B), the parking north of the Intermodal Terminal and south of Katella Avenue (north surface parking, Lot A), and supervisor parking at the Bus Transit Center. The existing surface parking, Lot C, will provide 405 spaces that are currently used for the existing Anaheim Metrolink/Amtrak Station. From Lot C, patrons will access the Platforms through the Stadium Pedestrian Tunnel or the existing tunnel at the current Metrolink/Amtrak Station, and the Intermodal Terminal via the Stadium Pedestrian Tunnel followed by the Pedestrian Concourse Bridge. The existing surface parking will be accessed by vehicles from Katella Avenue via Stadium Crossing or from Douglass Road. The south surface parking, Lot B, will provide 221 spaces. Patrons will access the Tracks/Platforms using a ramp or stairs to the south platform and walk across the Pedestrian Concourse Bridge to the north platform and the Intermodal Terminal. Vehicles will access the south surface parking via Douglass Road. The north surface parking, Lot A, will provide 456 spaces, including six spaces provided at the Bus Transit Center for supervisors. Lot A will be accessed by vehicles from Douglass Road or Katella Avenue. In addition, ingress only will be provided through the service yard and parking lot of the adjacent JT Schmid restaurant and retail center. The main vehicle access to the Bus Transit Center and the Public Plaza/Drop-Off Area will be via Douglass Road south of Katella Avenue. Patrons will access the Intermodal Terminal and the Platforms through the Public Plaza/Drop-Off Area. Douglass Road also serves as an entry and exit during events occurring at Angel Stadium. Traffic lights will be installed along Douglass Road to control circulation in this area at the main entry and at the bus entry from Douglass Road. A secondary right-in/right-out access will be provided to ARTIC from Katella Avenue. The access point will be immediately west of the Santa Ana River. The Santa Ana River Trail is used by bicyclists, equestrians, and pedestrians and is located along the east side of ARTIC. Pedestrian access will be provided by sidewalks along Katella Avenue and Douglass Road, as well as through a gate located off of the Santa Ana River Trail and just north of the tracks. EIR Addendum 2.0 Project Description 2-11 2.2.10 Sponsorship and Signage Program The ARTIC project will have a project signage and sponsorship program. This signage program will include entry signs, directional signage and way finding, including Dynamic (DMS) and Changeable Message Signs (CMS). The DMS will be located along Douglass Road. The CMS are anticipated for Katella Avenue, and will display messages to motorists advising them of upcoming closures, detours, and traffic conditions. The project will also include a sponsorship signage program that could include up to thirteen, approximately 85 feet high by 20 feet wide pylon signs with up to 760 square feet of advertising space per sign. These signs will be processed per the requirements of the SP Zone via a proposed amendment to Section 18.14.130 (Signs) of Chapter 18.14 (Public and Special Purpose Zones) of the Anaheim Municipal Code that is being requested as part of the ARTIC project. This amendment would allow the Planning Director to approve the signs as part of a coordinated sign program subject if they are in conjunction with a transit facility, complement the architecture of the transit facility, and provide a unifying element along the streetscape. 2.2.11 Bicycle Access Bicycle access will be along Douglass Road and via a direct at-grade connection to the Santa Ana River Trail just north of the rail corridor. Bicyclists will also be able to access ARTIC via the existing intersection of Katella Avenue and the Santa Ana River Trail. Bicycle parking (bicycle racks and lockers) will be located at the southeast corner of the Intermodal building. The existing bicycle lockers and bicycle racks at the existing surface parking (Lot C) will also remain. 2.2.12 Utility Relocation and Proposed Utilities ARTIC will require relocating existing utilities and the construction of new utilities. These utilities include electrical, water, sewer, gas, drainage, and ground water recharge system. Electrical Existing overhead electrical transmission lines located along Douglass Road will be undergrounded as part of the road improvements. Electrical service by the City of Anaheim will be provided via new underground ducts leading from the current service north of Katella Avenue on Douglass Road south under Douglass Road and into the facility. Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels will be included on the project site to reduce the use of off-site generated electricity. PV panels will be provided on the Concourse Bridge and in the south surface parking (Lot B). A PV array of up to 130 kilowatt (kW) (dc) will be considered for the site and could generate between 7 to 10 percent of site annual energy demands, dependent on location, orientation and cell type. Water The existing fire hydrants located on both sides of Douglass Road will be relocated according to the appropriate fire code for the proposed and existing uses. An existing 8-inch water line will be abandoned in lieu of a new 16-inch water line. The existing 8-inch water line will be retained where possible for future use as a reclaimed water line. EIR Addendum 2.0 Project Description 2-12 Sewer The existing 8-inch sanitary sewer line along the west side of Douglass Road that serves the existing uses west of Douglass Road will remain. A new 15-inch sanitary sewer line will be installed from ARTIC to connect into the main 30-inch sanitary sewer line in Katella Avenue. This line will connect to the existing Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) sewer main. Gas The 2-inch gas line will remain but may be relocated to accommodate construction. A gas line to the facility will be supplied from the existing 2-inch line located along Douglass Road. Drainage The storm drain will be reconfigured to reflect the change in Douglass Road elevation. The existing stormwater system will be replaced based on ARTIC components. Currently, there is a 48-inch reinforced concrete pipe that conveys run-off from SR-57 to an outfall at the Santa Ana River. Additionally, stormwater from Douglass Road drains into a pump station under the roadway, and is pumped into the existing 48-inch pipe. With the lowering of Douglass Road, this existing pump station will require replacement and the new installation will conform to the new lower street level. The above identified 48-inch pipe crosses the project site prior to reaching the river. This pipe will be relocated south of the railroad corridor to accommodate the drive access into the south surface parking (Lot B). No new discharge points will be created into the Santa Ana River. Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be designed into the drainage system for ARTIC to comply with current regulations. ARTIC is being designed so no increases in runoff based on current site conditions will occur due to this new construction. Ground Water Recharge System The ARTIC project will have a 4-inch tap to the existing Ground Water Recharge System located adjacent to the site on the east boundary near the Santa Ana River. This system will provide reclaimed water use for the cooling towers, toilet flushing, and the on-site irrigation system. 2.2.13 Construction Construction of the proposed project and associated infrastructure improvements is anticipated to take approximately 26 months. The Air Quality Impact Analysis uses a 26-month construction time frame as the “worst case” scenario. Generally, construction will occur during normal daylight hours but railroad connection activities and some street utility construction will require night construction activities. In particular, construction of the rail tracks and the new railroad bridge over Douglass Road and the platforms and tunnels construction will require nighttime construction. This construction requires that the railroad service be shut down on a short-term temporary basis. This shutdown of rail service can only be done at night and weekends to avoid shutdowns during peak operational hours. This construction was assessed in the Noise Impact Assessment (Appendix D of the Final EIR). EIR Addendum 2.0 Project Description 2-13 The approximate volume of cut and fill is anticipated to balance on the site. A small import quantity may be required. Excavated material from the building foundation and Douglass Road lowering will be used to raise the new rail platforms to match the existing main line track elevation, and to fill selected areas of the site to the desired grade. All construction workers will be required to park vehicles on-site without impacting either local businesses or local parking lots for the duration of construction. The staging areas for construction are assumed to be on site. All construction workers will be encouraged to carpool during construction as feasible. Material distribution to and from the site will occur through truck deliveries with the potential for rail deliveries of limited materials. Truck deliveries will access ARTIC by use of City of Anaheim streets during off-peak hours. 2.3 COMPARISON OF APPROVED AND REVISED PROJECT Table 2.3-1 Comparison of Differences between the Final EIR and the Addendum to the Final EIR Project analyzed in the Final EIR Project Analyzed in the Addendum to the Final EIR Change Intermodal Terminal Building: approximately 310,000 square feet, comprised of 140,000 square feet at-grade or above, 170,000 square feet below grade Intermodal Terminal Building: approximately 67,000 square feet with at-grade and above grade levels and four kiosks Reduced building square footage and added four kiosks Bus Transit Center: under the Intermodal Terminal Building with a 16-bay bus facility (two, eight bay islands) Bus Transit Facility: waiting areas on three sides of Terminal Building, 13 bus bay spaces and one straight curb space, four curbside bus spaces for OCTA bus staging and layover, and 6 parking spaces for supervisors Moved Bus Transit Facility from below- grade to above-grade and changed bus facilities from 16-bay to 13 bus bay spaces, one curbside space, and six parking spaces for supervisors Metrolink/Amtrak Concourse Tunnel Pedestrian Concourse Bridge The Tunnel was removed from project and replaced with the Bridge Public Hall Waiting Area Public Hall Different name, but no change in physical improvement Program Space Merged to Intermodal Terminal Baggage Tunnel New project element Public Plaza/Drop-off Area Public Plaza/Drop-off Area No change EIRAddendum 2.0 Project Description 2-14 Stadium Pavilion: a pedestrian bridge over the tracks and platforms Stadium Pedestrian Tunnel Changed from a bridge over the tracks to a tunnel underneath Stub-end track Removed from project Platforms: side platform between 21 and 40 feet wide, 1,200 feet long;

These issues are re- evaluated in this Addendum in light of the changes that have occurred to the original ARTIC project description. This evaluation determines whether, with these changes, implementation of the revised project would result in any new significant impacts or substantially more severe impacts than identified in the Final EIR. The Final EIR (Section 3.0, Environmental Analysis) describes the criteria that were used to determine the significance of environmental impacts. All mitigation measures identified in the Final EIR were subsequently adopted by the City of Anaheim as conditions of project approval. All applicable measures also will apply to the revised project changes described in this Addendum. In the Final EIR, cumulative impacts were discussed individually in each environmental issue area section. Likewise, for this Addendum, cumulative impacts are discussed in each environmental issue area section. 3.2 LAND USE AND PLANNING Please refer to Section 3.1 of the Final EIR for an analysis of potential land use and planning impacts associated with the original ARTIC project. No impacts were anticipated. The revised project would not change the nature of the development as previously proposed and evaluated in the Final EIR. Though the numbers of bus bays, platforms, parking spaces, and road improvements, as well as pedestrian access options, have changed, the revised project still serves as an intermodal transit center in compliance with existing land use policies. Additionally, the sponsorship and signage program would be in compliance with the SP Zone via an amendment to Section 18.14.130 (Signs) of Chapter 18.14 (Public and Special Purpose Zones) of the Anaheim Municipal Code. Therefore, the assessment of compatibility with existing land uses would not change and additional impacts are not anticipated. 3.2.1 Cumulative Impacts The Final EIR concluded that the project, as analyzed, would have no cumulative impact on land use. Based on the foregoing analysis and information, there is no evidence that project modifications would result in more substantial or new significant cumulative impacts related to land use compared to what was identified in the Final EIR. Therefore, the revised project would not require major changes to the Final EIR and would not result in new significant environmental impacts. 3.3 TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC Please refer to Section 3.2 of the Final EIR for an analysis of potential impacts associated with the original ARTIC project. An updated Traffic Impact Assessment was prepared on March 22, 2012 to evaluate potential new impacts as a result of the revised project. See Appendix A for the EIR Addendum 3.0 Comparative Evaluation of Environmental Impacts 3-2 complete report. This analysis found that access to ARTIC would be adequate under the revised project. Motorists entering and exiting ARTIC would still be able to do so comfortably, safely, and without undue congestion. No additional impacts were found and no additional mitigation measures were required. Therefore, the revised project would not change the determination presented in the Final EIR. 3.3.1 Cumulative Impacts Since the revised project did not result in additional impacts that required mitigation, the cumulative impacts analyzed in the Final EIR will suffice. 3.4 AIR QUALITY Please refer to Section 3.3 of the Final EIR for an analysis of potential air quality impacts associated with the original ARTIC project. Less than significant impacts with mitigation were anticipated. The air quality analysis for the original ARTIC project evaluated the “worst-case” scenario for emissions. Additionally, the original ARTIC project in the Final EIR included a building that was larger than the revised project and mitigated for impacts that were greater. The revised project proposes a smaller building with less grading, without proposing a reduction in mitigation. For construction estimates, the fact that no soil will be exported from the site (the Final EIR included the export of 80,000 cubic yards) removes all on-road truck emissions from the modeled grading activities. The removal of on-road haul trucks is estimated to reduce emissions as follows: NOx reduced by 20% (approximately 14 lbs/day), diesel PM reduced 19% (approximately 0.5 lbs/day), and CO2 (greenhouse gas [GHG]) reduced by 23% (approximately 2,100 lbs/day). For operations estimates, traffic levels for the revised project are expected to increase by 405 trips per day over the previously modeled 4,714 trips per day, thus resulting in an 8.5% increase overall. This increase can be used to prorate the existing emissions estimate as an approximation of the emissions increase. Compared to the emission estimates in Table 3.3-5 of the Final EIR (Operational Daily Emissions), the resulting approximate total emissions that include increases in NOx, diesel PM, and GHG are still below the significance thresholds of each pollutant: NOx is 46.5 lbs/day (55 threshold), diesel PM is 4.3 lbs/day (150 threshold), and GHG is 6,086 MT/yr (10,000 threshold). Therefore, the revised project would not create significant additional construction or operational emissions beyond what was analyzed in the Final EIR. Therefore, additional impacts are not anticipated beyond those impacts described in the Final EIR. 3.4.1 Cumulative Impacts The Final EIR found that the project, as analyzed, would have less than significant cumulative impacts on air quality. Based on the foregoing analysis and information, there is no evidence that project modifications would result in more substantial or new significant cumulative impacts related to air quality compared to what was identified in the Final EIR. Therefore, the revised project would not require major changes to the Final EIR and would not result in any new significant environmental impacts. EIR Addendum 3.0 Comparative Evaluation of Environmental Impacts 3-3 3.5 NOISE Please refer to Section 3.4 of the Final EIR for an analysis of potential noise impacts associated with the original ARTIC project. Less than significant impacts with mitigation were anticipated. The revised project would not create the need for additional construction activities to occur. The revised project would not create the need for additional construction activities to occur. Regarding operations, the original ARTIC project estimated an increase of 4,714 daily vehicle trips, which was estimated to cause a negligible increase (less than 1 dBA) in noise levels (see Table 3.4-7 in the Final EIR). Traffic levels during operation for the revised project are expected to increase by 405 trips per day (for a total of 5,119 trips), which is considered negligible as well. The noise conditions would remain substantially consistent with what was analyzed in the Final EIR and mitigation measures presented in the Final EIR would continue to reduce potential impacts associated with construction to less than significant levels. Therefore, additional impacts are not anticipated. 3.5.1 Cumulative Impacts The Final EIR found that construction for the project, as analyzed, would cause less than significant impacts with mitigation incorporated. The Final EIR found cumulative impacts for the operation of ARTIC to be less than significant. Based on the foregoing analysis and information, there is no evidence that project modifications would result in more substantial or new significant cumulative impacts related to noise compared to what was identified in the Final EIR. Therefore, the revised project would not require major changes to the Final EIR and would not result in any new significant environmental impacts. 3.6 GEOLOGY AND SOILS Please refer to Section 3.5 of the Final EIR for an analysis of potential geology and soil impacts associated with the original ARTIC project. Less than significant impacts were anticipated. The structures proposed in the revised project would be designed in accordance with appropriate industry standards, including established engineering and construction practices and methods per the California Building Code, Orange County Building and Safety Department Code, National Engineering Handbook, current American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association guidance documents, and existing SCRRA standards. With these engineering and construction practices in place, the revised project would remain consistent with the original ARTIC project analyzed in the Final EIR. Therefore, additional impacts are not anticipated. 3.6.1 Cumulative Impacts The Final EIR found that the project as analyzed would not have a significant cumulative impact on geology and soils because they are site specific. Based on the foregoing analysis and information, there is no evidence that project modifications would result in more substantial or new significant cumulative impacts related to geology and soils compared to what was identified in the Final EIR. Therefore, the revised project does not require major changes to the Final EIR and would not result in any new significant environmental impacts. EIR Addendum 3.0 Comparative Evaluation of Environmental Impacts 3-4 3.7 UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS Please refer to Section 3.6 of the Final EIR for an analysis of potential impacts associated with the original ARTIC project. Less than significant impacts were anticipated. The revised project would not change the type of use from the Final EIR since the nature of the development is consistent with the Final EIR. The revised project would also not result in additional visitors or features that would increase the demand of utilities and service systems, beyond what was analyzed in the Final EIR, and no adverse changes to waste water, water supply, and solid waste would occur. Therefore, use of utilities and service systems would remain consistent with what was analyzed in the Final EIR and additional impacts are not anticipated. 3.7.1 Cumulative Impacts The Final EIR found that the project as analyzed would not have a significant cumulative impact on utilities and service systems. Based on the foregoing analysis and information, there is no evidence that project modifications would result in more substantial or new significant cumulative impacts related to utilities and service systems compared to what was identified in the Final EIR. Therefore, the revised project does not require any major changes to the Final EIR and would not result in any new significant environmental impacts. 3.8 HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS Please refer to Section 3.7 of the Final EIR for an analysis of potential impacts associated with the original ARTIC project. Less than significant impacts with mitigation incorporated were anticipated. The revised project changes would not create or cause the need for hazardous materials that were not analyzed in the original Final EIR, nor would it expose people to new hazards. Therefore, the revised project would not affect hazards and hazardous materials and additional impacts are not anticipated. 3.8.1 Cumulative Impacts The Final EIR found that the project as analyzed would not have a significant cumulative impact on hazards and hazardous materials. Based on the foregoing analysis and information, there is no evidence that project modifications would result in more substantial or new significant cumulative impacts related to hazards and hazardous materials compared to what was identified in the Final EIR. Therefore, the revised project does not require any major changes to the Final EIR and would not result in any new significant environmental impacts. 3.9 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY Please refer to Section 3.8 of the Final EIR for an analysis of potential impacts to hydrology and water quality associated with the original ARTIC project. Less than significant impacts with mitigation were anticipated. Structures added as a result of the revised project would be constructed within the developed and paved area that was analyzed in the Final EIR. The BMPs, SWPPP, and Water Quality Management Plan identified in the Final EIR would continue to minimize potential impacts as a result of the revised project. The revised project would also adhere to the mitigation measures identified in the Final EIR and remain consistent with applicable regulations. The project is anticipated to access the Orange County Water District's EIR Addendum 3.0 Comparative Evaluation of Environmental Impacts 3-5 Ground Water Replenishment System pipeline to supplement the water supply for landscaping and toilet flushing within the Intermodal Terminal. The use of this water supply will be in compliance with all applicable regulations and is not expected to impact ground water resources. Therefore, the revised project would not change the effects previously analyzed and mitigated for and additional impacts are not anticipated. 3.9.1 Cumulative Impacts The Final EIR found that the project as analyzed would not have a significant cumulative impact on hydrology and water quality. The majority of the Santa Ana River watershed is already developed and surface flows are not expected to increase significantly. Based on the analysis and information presented above, there is no evidence that the revised project would result in more substantial or new significant cumulative impacts related to hydrology and water quality compared to those disclosed and analyzed in the Final EIR. Therefore, the revised project does not require any major changes to the Final EIR and would not result in any new significant environmental impacts. 3.10 AESTHETICS Please refer to Section 3.9 of the Final EIR for an analysis of potential impacts associated with the original ARTIC project. Less than significant impacts were anticipated. The revised project changes in bus bays, parking spaces, road improvements, platforms, and utilities would not add new features to the site that would affect the visual landscape of the area or add light, glare, or shadows. The Stadium Pedestrian Tunnel and the Baggage Tunnel would be constructed underneath the railroad tracks and the Pedestrian Concourse Bridge and would not add features to the visual landscape that would stand out from the existing structures. The Pedestrian Concourse Bridge would be consistent with the design and appearance of the project elements approved in the Final EIR, as well as with the planned architecture envisioned for the Platinum Triangle. The ARTIC sponsorship and sign program would not impact sensitive receptors on the Santa Ana River Trail, as the Santiago Hills and San Bernardino Mountain range are to the east. For the Avalon Anaheim Stadium condominium residents, the view corridor of these scenic resources already includes SR-57, Angel Stadium, the Anaheim Metrolink/Amtrak Station, billboards, telephone poles, high-voltage transmission lines, parking lots, street lights, and road signage. The sponsorship and signage program is intended to complement an already developed visual landscape and contribute to the enhancement of aesthetic quality and overall visual character of the site vicinity. The proposed amendment to the Anaheim Municipal Code would only allow the Planning Director to approve a coordinated sign program for the transit facility if findings can be made that the proposed program complements the architecture of the transit facility and provides a unifying element along the streetscape. These additional changes as a result of the revised project would not add light, glare, and shadows separate from what was evaluated in the Final EIR. Therefore, the aesthetic conditions would remain consistent with what was analyzed in the Final EIR and additional impacts are not anticipated. EIR Addendum 3.0 Comparative Evaluation of Environmental Impacts 3-6 3.10.1 Cumulative Impacts Less than significant cumulative impacts were anticipated in the Final EIR. Since the revised project would add features consistent with the features evaluated in the Final EIR, development in conjunction with related projects in the area would not cumulatively obstruct views of scenic resources. Furthermore, implementation of the revised project would continue to intensify urban uses in agreement with the vision described in the City of Anaheim General Plan, the Platinum Triangle Master Land Use Plan, and the Platinum Triangle Mixed Use Overlay Zone. Based on the analysis and information presented above, there is no evidence that the revised project would result in more substantial or new significant cumulative impacts related to aesthetics compared to those disclosed and analyzed in the Final EIR. Therefore, the revised project does not require any major changes to the Final EIR and would not result in any new significant environmental impacts. 3.11 CULTURAL RESOURCES Please refer to Section 3.10 of the Final EIR for an analysis of potential impacts to cultural resources associated with the original ARTIC project. Less than significant impacts with mitigation incorporated were anticipated. Changes as a result of the revised project would be located within the project area that was evaluated for cultural resources in the Final EIR. Construction activities would be consistent with what was analyzed in the Final EIR and would adhere to the mitigation measures presented in the Final EIR. Therefore, additional impacts to cultural resources, beyond what was studied in the Final EIR, would not occur as a result of the revised project. 3.11.1 Cumulative Impacts Less than significant cumulative impacts were anticipated in the Final EIR. Potential impacts to cultural resources as a result of the original project would be localized and remain within the project area boundaries. Based on the analysis and information presented above, there is no evidence that the revised project would result in more substantial or new significant cumulative impacts related to cultural resources compared to those disclosed and analyzed in the Final EIR. Therefore, the revised project does not require any major changes to the Final EIR and would not result in any new significant environmental impacts. 3.12 BIOLOGICAL RESOURES Please refer to Section 3.11 of the Final EIR for an analysis of potential impacts to biological resources associated with the original ARTIC project. Less than significant impacts with mitigation incorporated were anticipated. Changes as a result of the revised project would be located within the project area that was evaluated for biological resources in the Final EIR. Construction activities for the revised project would be consistent with the Final EIR and would not remove additional habitat beyond what was previously analyzed. Since the biological conditions would remain consistent with what was analyzed in the Final EIR, additional impacts are not anticipated as a result of the revised project. EIR Addendum 3.0 Comparative Evaluation of Environmental Impacts 3-7 3.12.1 Cumulative Impacts Less than significant cumulative impacts were anticipated in the Final EIR. The original ARTIC project will not adversely impact federal or state listed species, protected natural plant communities, or waterbodies and the potential impacts to nesting migratory birds will be less than significant with mitigation. Based on the analysis and information presented above, there is no evidence that the revised project would result in more substantial or new significant cumulative impacts related to biological resources compared to those disclosed and analyzed in the Final EIR. Therefore, the revised project does not require any major changes to the Final EIR and would not result in any new significant environmental impacts. 3.13 GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS Please refer to Section 3.12 of the Final EIR for an analysis of potential impacts associated with the original ARTIC project. Less than significant impacts were anticipated. The greenhouse gas analysis for the original ARTIC project evaluated the “worst-case” scenario for emissions. Additionally, the original ARTIC project in the Final EIR included a building that was larger than the revised project and mitigated for impacts that were greater. The revised project proposes a smaller building with less grading, without proposing a reduction in mitigation. For construction estimates, the fact that no soil will be exported from the site (the Final EIR included the export of 80,000 cubic yards) removes all on-road truck emissions from the modeled grading activities. The removal of on-road haul trucks is estimated to reduce CO2 (GHG) by 23% (approximately 2,100 lbs/day). For operations estimates, traffic levels for the revised project are expected to increase by 405 trips per day over the previously modeled 4,714 trips per day, thus resulting in an 8.5% increase overall. This increase can be used to prorate the existing emissions estimate as an approximation of the emissions increase. Compared to the emission estimates in Table 3.3-5 of the Final EIR (Operational Daily Emissions), the resulting approximate total emissions that include increases in GHG is 6,086 MT/yr (10,000 threshold). Therefore, the revised project would not create substantial additional construction emissions and operational emissions beyond what was analyzed in the Final EIR. Therefore, no additional significant impacts are anticipated. 3.13.1 Cumulative Impacts The Final EIR found that the project, as analyzed, would have less than significant cumulative impacts on greenhouse gases. Based on the foregoing analysis and information, there is no evidence that project modifications would result in more substantial or new significant cumulative impacts related to air quality compared to what was identified in the Final EIR. Therefore, the revised project does not require any major changes to the Final EIR and would not result in any new significant environmental impacts. EIR Addendum 4.0 Conclusion 4-1 4.0 CONCLUSION Based on information and analyses in this Addendum and pursuant to Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines, the City has determined the following: 1. There are no substantial changes to the original project that would require major revisions to the Final EIR due to new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of impacts identified in the Final EIR. 2. Substantial changes have not occurred in circumstances under which the project is being undertaken that would require major revisions of the Final EIR to disclose new significant effects or a substantial increase in the severity of impacts identified in the Final EIR. 3. There is no new information of substantial importance not known at the time the Final EIR was certified that shows any of the following: • The project would have new significant effect not discussed in the Final EIR. • There are impacts determined significant in the Final EIR that would be substantially increased. • There are no additional mitigation measures or alternatives to the project that would substantially reduce one or more significant effects identified in the Final EIR. • There are no additional mitigation measures or alternatives that were rejected by the project proponent that are considerably different from those analyzed in the Final EIR that would substantially reduce any significant impacts identified in that EIR. Thus, since none of the above conditions are met by the revised project, this Addendum is sufficient.

ARTIC, Anaheim\- July 2011 Update -\Report\3123 ARTIC, Anaheim TIA 04-11-12.doc xii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This traffic impact analysis addendum evaluates the potential traffic impacts and circulation needs associated with the proposed Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC) project (hereinafter referred to as Project) in the City of Anaheim, California, located in an area of the City referred to as the Platinum Triangle. This addendum traffic impact analysis report assesses the potential traffic impacts associated with a change in Project development totals, specifically the increase in parking spaces from 960 spaces to 1,087 spaces for a net increase of 127 parking spaces. Additionally, the Project now consists of the construction of a 67,000 square-feet (SF) regional transportation facility as compared to a 310,000 SF regional transportation facility (hereinafter referred to as Previous Project) as evaluated in the Traffic Impact Analysis for ARTIC, Anaheim, dated July 16, 2010. It should be noted that a detailed list of the differences between the proposed Project and previous Project analyzed in this traffic impact analysis addendum is provided at the end of the Executive Summary. This addendum traffic impact analysis report is intended to support the preparation of an addendum to EIR No. 343, to be prepared by Kleinfelder, in conjunction with the discretionary review of the conditional use permit for the Project. It should be noted that the analysis determined that there are no new traffic impacts and therefore no new mitigation measures are required. The Project site is bounded by Katella Avenue to the north, the Orange Freeway (SR-57) to the south, the Santa Ana River to the east and Douglass Road to the west, with the Los Angeles to San Diego (LOSSAN) rail corridor bisecting the site. The scope of the Project is to relocate the existing Anaheim Metrolink/Amtrak station with a larger intermodal facility. The new facility will include a nominal amount of passenger- oriented retail uses and restaurants marketed towards both transit users and the general public. Construction of ARTIC is estimated to be completed in 2014. The Project would provide improvements to convert the site from a former County of Orange maintenance facility to a fully functioning regional transportation facility. Along with the Metrolink Service Expansion Program currently underway, the site would accommodate existing transit services and future services such as Bus Rapid Transit and other rubber-tired fixed route and shuttle services. The proposed ARTIC site includes the 13.58-acre Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) parcel and an adjacent 2.2-acre parcel owned by the City of Anaheim. The proposed Project will replace the existing Metrolink station located to the west of the Project site along the northern edge of the Angel Stadium of Anaheim parking area. While there are industrial buildings on the proposed Project site, the buildings are vacant and will be demolished as part of the Project development. This study analyzes the relocation of the existing rail station to the ARTIC site with the facilities necessary to support existing transit services (rail and non-rail), as well as to accommodate future transit services such as the planned OCTA’s Metrolink Service LINSCOTT, LAW & GREENSPAN, engineers LLG Ref. 2-10-3123-1 ARTIC, Anaheim N:\3100\2103123 - ARTIC, Anaheim\- July 2011 Update -\Report\3123 ARTIC, Anaheim TIA 04-11-12.doc xiii Expansion Program (MSEP) currently underway, OCTA’s proposed Bravo service and other fixed route services. ARTIC will also include passenger-oriented retail and civic space. A total parking supply of up to 1,087 parking spaces will be provided within three parking lots, Lot A (ARTIC North Parking Lot), Lot B (ARTIC South Parking Lot) and Lot C (existing Metrolink/Amtrak Parking Lot), with a parking supply of approximately 461 parking spaces, 221 parking spaces and 405 parking spaces, respectively. Access to the Project site and parking lots would be provided via driveways located along Douglass Road, Katella Avenue and at the existing Sportstown access on Katella, west of the 57 Freeway. The proposed Project is forecast generate 6,134 daily trips (one half arriving and one half departing), with 1,001 trips (772 inbound, 229 outbound) produced in the AM peak hour and 838 trips (207 inbound, 631 outbound) produced in the PM peak hour on a “typical” weekday. The existing Project (Metrolink Station) generates 1,015 daily trips (one half arriving and one half departing), with 183 trips (119 inbound, 64 outbound) produced in the AM peak hour and 223 trips (86 inbound, 137 outbound) produced in the PM peak hour on a “typical” weekday. After taking credit for the existing Metrolink land use, the proposed Project is forecast to generate 5,119 net daily trips (one half arriving and one half departing), with 818 net trips (653 inbound, 165 outbound) produced in the AM peak hour and 615 net trips (121 inbound, 494 outbound) produced in the PM peak hour on a “typical” weekday.

Site Access & On-Site Circulation All the Project driveways are forecast to operate at an acceptable service level of LOS B or better during the AM and PM peak hours for Year 2014 With Project traffic conditions. As such, Project access will be adequate. Motorists entering and exiting the Project site will be able to do so comfortably, safely and without undue congestion. The maximum number of inbound vehicle queue calculated during the Year 2014 With Project Traffic Conditions occurs on the inbound southbound left-turn movement from Douglass Road into Driveway 2 during the AM peak hour. The queue on Douglass Road is forecast to have a maximum queue of eight (8) vehicles. This vehicle queue length translates to 176 feet in queuing (assuming an average car length of 22 feet). The maximum number of outbound vehicle queue calculated during the Year 2014 With Project Traffic Conditions occurs on the outbound westbound right-turn movement from Driveway 2 onto Douglass Road during the AM and PM peak hours. The queue on Driveway 2 is forecast to have a maximum queue of three (3) vehicles.

All of the other Project driveways are forecast to operate with a maximum queue of two (2) vehicles during the AM and/or PM peak hours. Based on the Driveway Stacking/Storage and Queuing Analysis, adequate vehicle storage is provided at all of the driveways and review of the proposed site plan indicates that all Project driveways have sufficient stacking to accommodate the forecast vehicle queues. Based on the above, no changes to the proposed configuration of the Project driveways are necessary. The on-site circulation was evaluated in terms of vehicle-pedestrian conflicts. Based on our review of the preliminary site plan, the overall layout does not create any unsafe vehicle- pedestrian conflict points and the driveway throating is sufficient such that access to parking spaces is not impacted by internal vehicle queuing/stacking. Curb return radii have been confirmed and are adequate for passenger cars, buses, shuttles, service/delivery trucks and trash trucks. Project traffic is not anticipated to cause significant queuing/stacking on the Project driveways. The on-site circulation is very good based on our review of the proposed site plan, whereas the alignment, spacing and throating of the Project driveways is adequate. The circulation around the buildings is adequate with sufficient sight distance along the drive aisles. To supplement the operations analysis for the site access evaluation, the intersection of Douglass Road at Katella Avenue has been analyzed using the HCM 2000 Methodology to determine the appropriate northbound approach lane geometry for the Year 2014 Project opening condition without requiring the need for any roadway improvements to Douglass Road on the north side of the intersection. As a result of the HCM analysis, the intersection of Douglass Road at Katella Avenue is recommended to consist of a northbound lane configuration of two NBL turn lanes, one NBTR lane and one NBR lane for the Year 2014 Project opening condition. The intersection of Douglass Road at Katella Avenue operates at acceptable LOS D or better based on the HCM 2000 Methodology and the lane configuration mentioned above. Proposed Mitigation and Improvement Strategies Existing With Project Intersection Improvements: Since there were no impacted intersections under the Existing With Project traffic conditions, no improvements have been recommended. It should be noted that the intersection of Douglass Road at Katella Avenue assumes a northbound lane configuration of two NBL, one NBTR and one NBR for the “with” Project scenario as identified in the Project Description of the ARTIC EIR.

The Project site is bounded by Katella Avenue to the north, the Orange Freeway (SR-57) to the south, the Santa Ana River to the east and Douglass Road to the west, with the Los Angeles to San Diego (LOSSAN) rail corridor bisecting the site. This addendum traffic impact analysis report assesses the potential traffic impacts associated with a change in Project development totals, specifically the increase in parking spaces from 960 spaces to 1,087 spaces for a net increase of 127 parking spaces. Additionally, the Project now consists of the construction of a 67,000 square-feet (SF) regional transportation facility as compared to a 310,000 SF regional transportation facility (hereinafter referred to as Previous Project) as evaluated in the Traffic Impact Analysis for ARTIC, Anaheim, dated July 16, 2010 (July 2010 traffic impact analysis report). This addendum traffic impact analysis report is intended to support the preparation of an addendum to EIR No. 343, to be prepared by Kleinfelder, in conjunction with the discretionary review of the conditional use permit for the Project. It should be noted that a detailed list of the differences between the proposed Project and previous Project analyzed in this traffic impact analysis addendum is provided in Section 15.0. The scope of the Project is to relocate the existing Anaheim Metrolink/Amtrak station with a larger intermodal facility. The new facility will include a nominal amount of passenger-oriented retail uses and restaurants marketed towards both transit users and the general public. Construction of ARTIC is estimated to be completed in 2014. The Project would provide improvements to convert the site from a former County of Orange maintenance facility to a fully functioning regional transportation facility. Along with the Metrolink Service Expansion Program currently underway, the site would accommodate existing transit services and future services such as Bus Rapid Transit and other rubber-tired fixed route and shuttle services. The proposed ARTIC site includes the 13.58-acre Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) parcel and an adjacent 2.2-acre parcel owned by the City of Anaheim. The proposed Project will replace the existing Metrolink station located to the west of the Project site along the northern edge of the Angel Stadium of Anaheim parking area. While there are industrial buildings on the proposed Project site, the buildings are vacant and will be demolished as part of the Project development. This study analyzes the relocation of the existing rail station to the ARTIC site with the facilities necessary to support existing transit services (rail and non-rail), as well as to accommodate future LINSCOTT, LAW & GREENSPAN, engineers LLG Ref. 2-10-3123-1 ARTIC, Anaheim N:\3100\2103123 - ARTIC, Anaheim\- July 2011 Update -\Report\3123 ARTIC, Anaheim TIA 04-11-12.doc 2 transit services such as the planned OCTA’s Metrolink Service Expansion Program (MSEP) currently underway, OCTA’s proposed Bravo service and other fixed route services. ARTIC will also include passenger-oriented retail and civic space. A total parking supply of up to 1,087 parking spaces will be provided within three parking lots, Lot A (ARTIC North Parking Lot), Lot B (ARTIC South Parking Lot) and Lot C (existing Metrolink/Amtrak Parking Lot), with a parking supply of approximately 461 parking spaces, 221 parking spaces and 405 parking spaces, respectively. Access to the Project site and parking lots would be provided via driveways located along Douglass Road, Katella Avenue and at the existing Sportstown access on Katella, west of the 57 Freeway. This report documents the findings and recommendations of a traffic impact analysis conducted by Linscott, Law & Greenspan, Engineers (LLG) to determine the potential impacts the Project may have on the local and/or regional network in the vicinity of the Project site. The traffic impact analysis evaluates the existing operating conditions at twelve (12) key study intersections within the Project vicinity, estimates the trip generation potential of the proposed Project and forecasts future (near-term and long-term) operating conditions without and with the proposed Project. It should be noted that five (5) Project driveways were also analyzed for the near-term “with” Project scenarios. This traffic impact analysis report satisfies the City of Anaheim Criteria for Preparation of Traffic Impact Studies and is consistent with the requirements and procedures outlined in the 2009 Orange County Congestion Management Program (CMP). The Project site has been visited and an inventory of adjacent area roadways and intersections was performed. Existing (i.e. baseline) peak hours and daily traffic information has been collected at twelve (12) key study intersections and eight (8) key study roadway segments, respectively, on a “typical” weekday for use in the preparation of intersection and roadway segment level of service calculations. This traffic report analyzes existing (i.e. baseline) and future (near-term and long-term) weekday AM and PM peak hour and daily traffic conditions for Existing (i.e. baseline), Year 2014 and Year 2030 traffic conditions without and with the proposed Project. Peak hour and daily traffic volumes for the Existing, Year 2014 Without Project and Year 2030 With Project traffic conditions were provided by the City of Anaheim. 1.1 Study Area The study intersections listed below are locations that could potentially be impacted by the proposed Project. Twelve (12) existing key study intersections and five (5) future Project driveways listed below were selected based on location of Project and “51 or more peak hour trips threshold” criteria outlined in the City of Anaheim Criteria For Preparation of Traffic Impact Studies as well as discussions with the City of Anaheim staff.

The City of Orange uses the same methodology to determine intersections to be analyzed in Traffic Impact Studies. The City of Orange sent a letter requesting the analysis of 12 intersections within the City of Orange during their review of EIR 343. In response, all 12 requested intersections were reviewed to see if they met the LINSCOTT, LAW & GREENSPAN, engineers LLG Ref. 2-10-3123-1 ARTIC, Anaheim N:\3100\2103123 - ARTIC, Anaheim\- July 2011 Update -\Report\3123 ARTIC, Anaheim TIA 04-11-12.doc 5 minimum peak hour trip threshold. Those City of Orange intersections that were forecast to receive 51 or more peak hour trips from the Project were further scrutinized to determine whether or not the Project-generated traffic created significant impacts in connection with the identified City of Orange intersections. For those City of Orange intersections that were forecast to receive less than 51 peak hour Project-generated trips, the Project will not create any significant impacts.

Figure 3-1 presents an inventory of the existing roadway conditions within the study area evaluated in this report. The number of travel lanes and intersection controls for the key area study intersections are identified. 3.2 Existing Traffic Volumes Existing AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes for the twelve (12) key study intersections evaluated in this report, along with existing daily two-way traffic volumes for the eight (8) key roadway segments, were provided by the City of Anaheim. Figures 3-2 and 3-3 present the existing AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes, respectively, for the twelve (12) key study intersections. Figure 3-4 presents the existing daily traffic volumes for the eight (8) key study roadway segments. Appendix A contains the raw existing intersection turning movement and roadway segment traffic count data which was collected by Transportation Studies Inc. in Year 2008 and 2009 and was provided by the City of Anaheim. Appendix B contains the freeway segment and ramp existing traffic volumes. 3.3 Capacity Analysis Methodologies Existing AM and PM peak hour operating conditions for the twelve (12) key study intersections were evaluated using the Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) Methodology for signalized intersections and the methodology outlined in Chapter 17 of the Highway Capacity Manual 2000 (HCM 2000) for unsignalized intersections. It should be noted that the methodology outlined in Chapter 16 of the Highway Capacity Manual 2000 (HCM 2000) for signalized intersections was utilized for Caltrans controlled intersections. Freeway mainline, ramp merge and diverge and weaving segments are also analyzed using Chapters 22-25 of the HCM 2000. 3.3.1 Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) Method of Analysis (Signalized Intersections) In conformance with the City of Anaheim requirements, existing AM and PM peak hour operating conditions for the key signalized study intersections were evaluated using the Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) method. The ICU technique is intended for signalized intersection analysis and estimates the volume to capacity (V/C) relationship for an intersection based on the individual V/C ratios for key conflicting traffic movements. The ICU numerical value represents the percent signal (green) time and thus capacity, required by existing and/or future traffic. It should be noted that the ICU methodology assumes uniform traffic distribution per intersection approach lane and optimal signal timing. LINSCOTT, LAW & GREENSPAN, engineers LLG Ref. 2-10-3123-1 ARTIC, Anaheim N:\3100\2103123 - ARTIC, Anaheim\- July 2011 Update -\Report\3123 ARTIC, Anaheim TIA 04-11-12.doc 11 Per City of Anaheim requirements, the ICU calculations use a lane capacity of 1,700 vehicles per hour (vph) for through and all turn lanes. A clearance adjustment factor of 0.05 was added to each Level of Service calculation. The analysis methodologies used by the City of Anaheim for signalized intersections are also consistent with the methodology used by the City of Orange, as are the LOS thresholds. Therefore, the same assumptions were applied for both jurisdictions. The ICU value translates to a Level of Service (LOS) estimate, which is a relative measure of the intersection performance. The ICU value is the sum of the critical volume to capacity ratios at an intersection; it is not intended to be indicative of the LOS of each of the individual turning movements. The six qualitative categories of Level of Service have been defined along with the corresponding ICU value range and are shown in Table 3-1. 3.3.2 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) Method of Analysis (Unsignalized Intersections) The 2000 HCM unsignalized methodology was utilized in the analysis of stop-controlled intersections. For all-way stop-controlled intersections, this methodology estimates the average control delay for each of the subject movements and determines the level of service for each movement. The overall average control delay measured in seconds per vehicle and level of service is then calculated for the entire intersection. The HCM control delay value translates to a Level of Service (LOS) estimate, which is a relative measure of the intersection performance. For one-way and two-way stop-controlled (minor street stop-controlled) intersections, this methodology estimates the worst side street delay, measured in seconds per vehicle and determines the level of service for that approach. The HCM delay value translates to a Level of Service (LOS) estimate, which is a relative measure of the intersection performance. The six qualitative categories of Level of Service have been defined along with the corresponding HCM control delay value range, as shown in Table 3-2. 3.3.3 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) Method of Analysis (Signalized Intersections) Based on the HCM operations method of analysis, level of service for signalized intersections is defined in terms of control delay, which is a measure of driver discomfort, frustration, fuel consumption and lost travel time. The delay experienced by a motorist is made up of a number of factors that relate to control, geometries, traffic and incidents. Total delay is the difference between the travel time actually experienced and the reference travel time that would result during ideal conditions: in the absence of traffic control, in the absence of geometric delay, in the absence of any incidents and when there are no other vehicles on the road. In Chapter 16 of the HCM, only the portion of total delay attributed to the control facility is quantified. This delay is called control delay. Control delay includes initial deceleration delay, queue move-up time, stopped delay and final acceleration delay. In contrast, in previous versions of the HCM (1994 and earlier), delay included only stopped delay.

The six qualitative categories of Level of Service that have been defined along with the corresponding HCM control delay value range for signalized intersections are shown in Table 3-3. 3.3.4 Volume to Capacity (V/C) Ratio Method of Analysis (Roadway Segments) The arterial roadway criteria for the City of Anaheim involve the use of average daily traffic (ADT) volume to capacity (V/C) ratios. LOS C (V/C not to exceed 0.80) is the performance standard that has been adopted for the study area circulation system by the City of Anaheim. The City of Orange has utilized LOS D as the performance standard for arterials. Although the arterial segment V/C analysis provides a general assessment of overall system performance, the performance is measured on the ability to serve peak hour traffic demands. To identify deficient arterial segments, the segments that are identified as deficient under daily conditions are evaluated under peak hour conditions to evaluate the capability of serving forecast peak hour throughput. Arterial segments that operate deficiently under peak hour conditions are candidates for mitigation improvements. Note that the City of Orange does not provide provisions for peak hour segment analysis but rather uses daily V/C analysis as the basis for improvement requirements. The City of Anaheim applies the Urban Streets analysis identified in Chapter 15 of the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) to determine level of service under peak hour traffic volumes on deficient daily segments. The peak hour link analysis determines directional AM and PM peak hour V/C ratios for each link that exceeds the daily LOS threshold. The peak hour capacity is determined by using Equation 15-7 of the HCM, multiplying the mid-block number of lanes for each direction by a lane capacity of 1,900 vehicles per hour, then multiplied by the percentage of green time at the controlling signalized intersection for that arterial segment. The percentage of green time is estimated by dividing the directional V/C ratios by the total V/C ratio at signalized intersections along the arterial segment. The highest resulting percentage is the estimated percentage of green time for that arterial segment. If the V/C ratio of the arterial segment under peak hour conditions is LOS E or F, improvements should be considered to improve the segment to an acceptable LOS. LOS analysis of forecast daily traffic volumes was applied for the arterial segments throughout the study area. The segment analysis assumes roadway capacities for each jurisdiction as applied in the current General Plans for each City and Orange County Highway Design Manual (September 1991) as noted in Table 3-4. The capacities reflect LOS E capacities and are consistent with those that are applied in daily V/C analysis consistent with methodologies adopted for each jurisdiction. Note that the City of Orange takes advantage of a capacity enhancement for Smart Streets as designated by the Orange County Transportation Authority. For Katella Avenue, Orange increases daily capacity by five percent to account for Smart Street related improvements that enhance throughput along these key corridors. The City of Anaheim does not currently account for capacity enhancements to Smart Streets. LINSCOTT, LAW & GREENSPAN, engineers LLG Ref. 2-10-3123-1 ARTIC, Anaheim N:\3100\2103123 - ARTIC, Anaheim\- July 2011 Update -\Report\3123 ARTIC, Anaheim TIA 04-11-12.doc 13 3.3.5 Freeway Mainline and Ramp Merge/Diverge Points The freeway mainline and freeway ramp criteria are based on peak hour HCM 2000 density analysis. The capacities are based on information contained in the HCM 2000 and the Caltrans Ramp Meter Design Manual. Existing traffic count data was provided by Caltrans. Ramp merge and diverge analysis was carried out by applying Highway Capacity Software (HCS), the electronic version of the HCM 2000 for freeway-to-arterial interchanges. According to HCM 2000 methodology, the ramp merge and diverge areas focus on an influential area of 1,500 feet, including the acceleration or deceleration lane and adjacent freeway lanes. The methodology incorporates three fundamental steps: Determination of the traffic entering the freeway lanes upstream of the merge or at the beginning of the deceleration lane at diverge; Determination of the capacity for the segment; and Determination of the density of traffic flow within the ramp influence area and its level of service. The level of service (LOS) for freeway ramps is determined by traffic density based on criteria outlined in the HCM 2000. Freeway mainline levels of service are similarly determined from segment density. Table 3-5 presents the correlation between LOS and density in terms of passenger cars per mile per lane (pc/mi/ln) for both freeway ramps and basic freeway segments. 3.3.6 Freeway Weaving Analysis Freeway weaving is defined as the crossing of two streams of traffic traveling in the same direction along a significant length of highway without the aid of traffic control devices. Typically, weaving segments are formed when merge areas are followed by diverge areas within 2,500 feet of the merge area. Auxiliary lanes do not need to be present to be defined a weaving area. Weaving analysis uses the most current version of the HCM 2000 and provides a density for the weaving area within the freeway segment and corresponding LOS. Freeway weaving analysis was carried out by applying HCS software to weaving areas. According to HCM 2000, the weaving analysis supersedes ramp merge/diverge analysis and therefore were not analyzed for identified weaving segments. Table 3-6 specifies the LOS for associated freeway weaving densities. 3.4 Impact Criteria and Thresholds For intersections and arterial segments, significant impacts are determined using the City of Anaheim Criteria for Preparation of Traffic Impact Studies. Under the General Plan Build-out scenarios, these locations are governed by the City’s Growth Management Element. All State owned facilities are analyzed consistent with the Caltrans Guide for the Preparation of Traffic Impact Studies for all scenarios. LINSCOTT, LAW & GREENSPAN, engineers LLG Ref. 2-10-3123-1 ARTIC, Anaheim N:\3100\2103123 - ARTIC, Anaheim\- July 2011 Update -\Report\3123 ARTIC, Anaheim TIA 04-11-12.doc 14 3.4.1 Intersections According to the City’s Circulation Element and stated in the City of Anaheim Criteria for Preparation of Traffic Impact Studies, LOS D is the minimum acceptable condition that should be maintained during the morning and evening peak commute hours on all City intersections. The City of Orange has utilized LOS D as the performance standard for intersections. The relative impact of the added Project traffic volumes generated by the proposed Project during the AM and PM peak hours was evaluated based on analysis of future operating conditions at the key study intersections, without, then with, the proposed Project. The previously discussed capacity analysis procedures were utilized to investigate the future delay or volume-to-capacity relationships and service level characteristics at each study intersection. The significance of the potential impacts of the Project at each key intersection is determined based on the sliding scale criteria presented in Table 3-7. As mentioned previously, LOS D [> 0.81 and ≤ 0.90 (signalized) & > 25.0 s/v and 35.0 s/v (unsignalized)] is an established level of service standard for intersections in the City of Anaheim. As indicated in Table 3-7, the Project-related increase in ICU value that defines a significant impact at signalized intersections varies with LOS. Per the City’s guidelines, a change in ICU value, within LOS C, equal to or greater than 0.05 is an impact and within LOS D, a change in ICU equal to or greater than 0.03 is also an impact. With LOS E or F, a change in ICU equal to or greater than 0.01 is considered an impact. For the unsignalized intersections, this report defines a significant impact as a decrease in LOS by one level or more for those locations operating at LOS D, E, or F (LOS delay values shown in Table 3-2). Two distinct mitigation strategies have been considered for this analysis. One strategy consists of physical capacity improvements (e.g. additional lanes, modified lane configurations). The second strategy includes operational improvements designed to improve traffic flow (e.g. ITS improvements, CCTV, adaptive traffic management systems, changeable message signs, interconnect infrastructure upgrades). Each strategy is consistent with industry practices as well as strategies previously accepted and employed in the area. Capacity improvements are considered at locations where Project impacts result in an unacceptable LOS. Operational improvements are considered for Project impacts in which the LOS operates at an acceptable level, but the Project results in an increase in LOS that exceeds the City's significant impact threshold. For General Plan Build-out analysis, consistent with the City’s Growth Management Element, a project is deemed to have a significant impact if the project results in deterioration of the LOS to an unacceptable LOS or an increase in the ICU value of 0.01 if the intersection currently operates at LOS E or F under without project conditions. Mitigation measures, discussed later in the report are required to bring deficient intersections and roadway segments to an acceptable LOS.

The previously discussed capacity analysis procedures were utilized to investigate the future volume-to-capacity relationships and service level characteristics at each roadway segment. For City of Anaheim segments, a project is deemed to have a significant impact if the project results in deterioration of the daily LOS to an unacceptable LOS (LOS D, E, or F) coupled with a continued deficiency under peak hour conditions. A significant impact is also determined by an increase in the daily ICU value of 0.01 if the segment currently operates at LOS E or F under daily without project conditions and the segment is found to be deficient under peak hour conditions. For City of Orange segments, a project is deemed to have a significant impact if the project results in deterioration of the daily LOS to an unacceptable LOS (LOS E or F) or causes an increase in the daily ICU value of 0.01 if the segment currently operates at LOS E or F under daily without project conditions. 3.4.3 Caltrans Facilities Caltrans District 12 has established that LOS D is the operating standard for all Caltrans facilities. Caltrans has determined that all state owned facilities that operate below LOS D should be identified and improved to an acceptable LOS although specific criteria to identify project related impacts is not specified in the Caltrans Traffic Impact Study Guidelines. Analysis of Caltrans facilities is conducted in Sections 11.0 and 12.0 of this report.

An occasional approach phase is fully utilized; many drivers begin to feel somewhat restricted within groups of vehicles. C 0.71 – 0.80 GOOD. Occasionally drivers may have to wait through more than one red light; backups may develop behind turning vehicles. D 0.81 – 0.90 FAIR. Delays may be substantial during portions of the rush hours, but enough lower volume periods occur to permit clearing of developing lines, preventing excessive backups. E 0.91 – 1.00 POOR. Represents the most vehicles intersection approaches can accommodate; may be long lines of waiting vehicles through several signal cycles. F > 1.00 FAILURE. Backups from nearby locations or on cross streets may restrict or prevent movement of vehicles out of the intersection approaches.

Most vehicles do not stop at all. Short cycle lengths may also contribute to low delay. B > 10.0 and < 20.0 This level generally occurs with good progression, short cycle lengths, or both. More vehicles stop than with LOS A, causing higher levels of average delay. C > 20.0 and < 35.0 Average traffic delays. These higher delays may result from fair progression, longer cycle lengths, or both. Individual cycle failures may begin to appear at this level. The number of vehicles stopping is significant at this level, though many still pass through the intersection without stopping. D > 35.0 and < 55.0 Long traffic delays At level D, the influence of congestion becomes more noticeable. Longer delays may result from some combination of unfavorable progression, long cycle lengths, or high v/c ratios. Many vehicles stop and the proportion of vehicles not stopping declines. Individual cycle failures are noticeable. E > 55.0 and < 80.0 Very long traffic delays This level is considered by many agencies to be the limit of acceptable delay. These high delay values generally indicate poor progression, long cycle lengths and high v/c ratios. Individual cycle failures are frequent occurrences. -F 80.0 Severe congestion This level, considered to be unacceptable to most drivers, often occurs with over saturation, that is, when arrival flow rates exceed the capacity of the intersection. It may also occur at high v/c ratios below 1.0 with many individual cycle failures. Poor progression and long cycle lengths may also be major contributing factors to such delay levels. 5 Source: Highway Capacity Manual 2000, Chapter 16 (Signalized Intersections).

The first step is traffic generation, which estimates the total arriving and departing traffic on a peak hour and daily basis. The traffic generation potential is forecast by applying the appropriate vehicle trip generation equations and/or rates to the Project development tabulation. The second step of the forecasting process is traffic distribution, which identifies the origins and destinations of inbound and outbound Project traffic. These origins and destinations are typically based on demographics and existing/expected future travel patterns in the study area. The third step is traffic assignment, which involves the allocation of Project traffic to study area streets and intersections. Traffic assignment is typically based on minimization of travel time, which may or may not involve the shortest route, depending on prevailing operating conditions and travel speeds. Traffic distribution patterns are indicated by general percentage orientation, while traffic assignment allocates specific volume forecasts to individual roadway segments and intersection turning movements throughout the study area. With the forecasting process complete and Project traffic assignments developed, the impact of the Project is isolated by comparing operational (LOS) conditions at selected key intersections using expected future traffic volumes with and without forecast Project traffic. If necessary, the need for site-specific and/or cumulative local area traffic improvements can then be evaluated. LINSCOTT, LAW & GREENSPAN, engineers LLG Ref. 2-10-3123-1 ARTIC, Anaheim N:\3100\2103123 - ARTIC, Anaheim\- July 2011 Update -\Report\3123 ARTIC, Anaheim TIA 04-11-12.doc 24 5.0 PROJECT TRAFFIC CHARACTERISTICS 5.1 Project Traffic Generation Forecast The daily trip generation rate for the Project was developed based on the estimation of the numbers of originating passengers at ARTIC and the necessary infrastructure required to meet that demand. The needs for ARTIC were first analyzed in the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center Transit and Parking Facility Description Report (Carter and Burgess, October 2007). The Needs Assessment Update and Validation Technical Memorandum (Cordoba Corporation, August 2009) updated the analysis with updated information from the various providers of service at ARTIC. Originating passenger information was provided by the various service providers that will utilize ARTIC (Metrolink, Amtrak, OCTA, etc). The analysis conducted for these reports considered all originating passengers for each service provider at ARTIC. The mode of access for each originating passenger was then determined from the planned service levels for each provider – some arrive by car (driver or passenger), others transferring from another transit mode, others walking or bicycling to ARTIC. The daily vehicle trips were then compiled by adding the parking vehicles, drop off vehicles, taxis, buses and shuttles. The daily trip generation rate was then calculated by taking these total vehicle trips and dividing by the number of parking spaces, as calculated in the Needs Assessment Update and Validation Technical Memorandum. Trip Generation for the AM and PM peak hours was derived using the factors provided in the Institute of Transportation Engineers’ Trip Generation, 7th Edition, Land Use codes 090 and 093. The trip rate includes buses, taxis and shuttles. Table 5-1 summarizes the trip generation rates used in forecasting the vehicular trips generated by the proposed Project and presents the forecast daily and peak hour Project traffic volumes for a "typical" weekday. Review of row (A) of Table 5-1 shows that the development of the proposed Project is forecast to generate 6,134 daily trips (one half arriving and one half departing), with 1,001 trips (772 inbound, 229 outbound) produced in the AM peak hour and 838 trips (207 inbound, 631 outbound) produced in the PM peak hour on a “typical” weekday. Review of row (B) of Table 5-1 shows that the existing Project generates 1,015 daily trips (one half arriving and one half departing), with 183 trips (119 inbound, 64 outbound) produced in the AM peak hour and 223 trips (86 inbound, 137 outbound) produced in the PM peak hour on a “typical” weekday. As shown in row (C) of Table 5-1, the Project upon completion is forecast to generate 5,119 net daily trips (one half arriving and one half departing), with 818 net trips (653 inbound, 165 outbound) produced in the AM peak hour and 615 net trips (121 inbound, 494 outbound) produced in the PM peak hour on a “typical” weekday. It should be noted that the anticipated increase in ridership at this station, based on the Orange County Transportation Authority’s (OCTA) Metrolink Service Expansion Project (MSEP) report, was accounted for in the Needs Assessment report, and that document was the basis for the trip generation.

Figure 5-1 displays the traffic distribution pattern for the existing Project. Figures 5-2A through 5-2D display the traffic distribution patterns for the Lot A (ARTIC North Parking Lot), Lot B (ARTIC South Parking Lot), Lot C (Metrolink/Amtrak Parking Lot) and the ARTIC Bus Service, respectively. Traffic volumes, both entering and exiting the site, have been distributed and assigned to the adjacent street system based on the following considerations: Anaheim Metrolink Station Trip Access Distribution Survey, the site's proximity to major traffic carriers (i.e. SR-57 Freeway, Katella Avenue, etc.), expected localized traffic flow patterns based on adjacent street channelization and presence of traffic signals, the traffic-carrying capacity and travel speed available on roadways serving the Project site, existing intersection traffic volumes, ingress/egress availability at the Project site and input from City of Anaheim staff. The Project trip distribution pattern was submitted to the City staff for their review and approval prior to proceeding with further analyses. 5.2.1 Existing Project Traffic Volumes The directional traffic distribution pattern for the existing Project is presented in Figure 5-1. The anticipated AM and PM peak hour existing Project trips at the key study intersections are presented in Figures 5-3 and 5-4, respectively. In addition, Figure 5-5 presents the Daily existing Project trips at the key study roadway segments. The existing Project trips assignment presented in the above mentioned figures reflect the traffic distribution characteristics shown in Figure 5-1 and the existing Project trips forecast presented in the row (B) portion of Table 5-1. It should be noted that the AM peak hour, PM peak hour and Daily existing Project trips presented in Figures 5-3, 5-4 and 5-5, respectively, are shown as negative values since these volumes were “removed” from the street system in conjunction with the Project development. 5.2.2 Proposed Project Traffic Volumes The directional traffic distribution patterns for the proposed Project are presented in Figures 5-2A through 5-2D. The anticipated AM and PM peak hour proposed Project trips at the key study intersections and future Project driveways are presented in Figures 5-6 and 5-7, respectively. In addition, Figure 5-8 presents the Daily proposed Project trips at the key study roadway segments. The proposed Project trips assignment presented in the above mentioned figures reflect the traffic distribution characteristics shown in Figures 5-2A through 5-2D and the proposed Project trips forecast presented in the row (A) portion of Table 5-1. Consequently, the net ARTIC Project trips, as shown in row (C) are reflected in the future traffic conditions.

In addition, Figure 6-3 presents the Daily Existing With Project traffic volumes at the eight (8) key study roadway segments. The traffic volumes presented in the above mentioned figures were provided by City of Anaheim. Appendix C contains the detailed Existing With Project traffic volume data. 6.2 Year 2014 Without Project Traffic Volumes In order to make a realistic estimate of future on-street conditions prior to implementation of the proposed Project, anticipated Year 2014 traffic volumes are calculated by interpolation of model growth. Background ambient traffic growth estimates have been calculated by interpolating between the existing volumes and the Year 2030 With Project volumes. The status of other known development projects (related projects) in the area has been researched at the City of Anaheim, and have been included as part of the cumulative background settings for the near-term (Year 2014) traffic conditions. Based on information provided by the City of Anaheim, there are twenty-five (25) related projects located in the City of Anaheim that have either been built, but not yet fully occupied, or are being processed for approval. These twenty-five (25) related projects have been included as part of the cumulative background settings. Table 6-1 provides a brief description for each of the twenty-five (25) related projects. These related projects are expected to generate vehicular traffic, which may affect the operating conditions of the key study intersections and roadway links. The anticipated Year 2014 Without Project traffic conditions AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes at the twelve (12) key study intersections are presented in Figures 6-4 and 6-5, respectively.

In addition, Figure 6-9 presents the Daily Year 2014 With Project traffic volumes at the eight (8) key study roadway segments. 6.4 Year 2030 Without Project Traffic Volumes The Year 2030 traffic volume forecasts were obtained from the Anaheim Traffic Analysis Model (ATAM). ATAM is the traffic forecasting tool for the City of Anaheim and has been certified by the Orange County Transportation Authority to be consistent with the Orange County Transportation Analysis Model (OCTAM). ATAM relies upon OCTAM for the regional traffic component. OCTAM is based on and is consistent with the Southern California Association of Government’s (SCAG’s) regional transportation model, incorporating adopted regional growth projections. In addition, the General Plan Buildout highway network is assumed in the Cities of Anaheim and Orange for Year 2030 analysis and all other facilities are consistent with the Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH) buildout. As a subarea model, ATAM incorporates the City of Anaheim General Plan within the City limits. As General Plan Amendments are processed, ATAM is updated to reflect any changes to the General Plan. Therefore ATAM contains every adopted project within the City’s limits. There are also a number of projects which are currently under various stages of analysis, and have been incorporated into ATAM for the purposes of this project. The following projects listed below are some of the projects relevant to ARTIC but are separate, distinct, and independent from ARTIC in terms of funding, lead agency status, purpose and need and regulatory requirements. A complete list of all projects included in ATAM is included in the ARTIC EIR Section 6.2. Each relevant project listed below has undergone or is currently undergoing their own separate project clearance process, including but not limited to CEQA and NEPA and are included in the long-term cumulative analysis of this study. These projects are: Anaheim Rapid Connection California High-Speed Rail California-Nevada Super Speed Train (CNSST) Desert Express Revised Platinum Triangle Expansion Amendment to the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan City of Orange General Plan Update Orange Center Specific Plan It should be noted that the Revised Platinum Triangle Expansion includes ARTIC. As a result, the Year 2030 forecast volumes from ATAM are considered the Year 2030 With Project volumes. Therefore, to obtain the without Project volumes, the Project trips were subtracted from the “with” Project volumes. The anticipated Year 2030 Without Project traffic conditions AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes at the twelve (12) key study intersections are presented in Figures 6-10 and 6-11, respectively.

Future trip activity is estimated and assigned throughout the study area. It should be noted that the lane configurations utilized for the Year 2030 conditions analyses reflect the adopted and certified Platinum Triangle Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (SEIR 339). These lane configurations were assumed for the Year 2030 Conditions since all of the Platinum Triangle mitigation measures are now part of the Circulation Element. 9.1 Year 2030 Intersection Capacity Analysis Table 9-1 summarizes the peak hour Level of Service results at the key study intersections for Year 2030 traffic conditions. The first column (1) of ICU/LOS values in Table 9-1 presents a summary of existing AM and PM peak hour traffic conditions (which were also presented in Table 7-1). The second column (2) lists Year 2030 Without Project traffic conditions. The third column (3) in Table 9-1 presents forecast Year 2030 With Project traffic conditions. The fourth column (4) of Table 9-1 shows whether the traffic associated with the Project will have a significant impact based on the LOS standards and the significance impact criteria defined in this report. The fifth column (5) of Table 9-1 presents the Level of Service with the implementation of improvements, if necessary. 9.1.1 Year 2030 Without Project Traffic Conditions Review of column (2) of Table 9-1 indicates that all of the twelve (12) key study intersections are forecast to operate at acceptable LOS D or better for the Year 2030 Without Project traffic conditions. 9.1.2 Year 2030 With Project Traffic Conditions Review of column (3) of Table 9-1 indicates that all of the twelve (12) key study intersections are forecast to operate at acceptable LOS D or better for the Year 2030 With Project traffic conditions, when compared to the LOS standards defined in this report. The intersection of Sportstown/Katella Avenue has improved level of service with the Project due to the redistribution of Project traffic. One (1) key study intersection (Douglass Road at Katella Avenue) will be significantly impacted based on the LOS standards and the significance impact criteria defined in this report. It should be noted that the intersection of Douglass Road at Katella Avenue operates at an acceptable LOS, but exceeds the minimum required threshold, thus creating a significant impact. The installation of changeable message signs on both Katella Avenue and Douglass Road, which is a Project Design Feature, will improve operational capacity of this intersection. Hence, this Project design feature will offset the impact of the Year 2030 With Project traffic conditions.

The fifth column (5) in Table 9-2 forecasts the Year 2030 With Project traffic conditions. 9.2.1 Year 2030 Without Project Traffic Conditions Review of column (4) of Table 9-2 shows that six (6) of the key study roadway segments are forecast to operate at adverse LOS on a daily basis under Year 2030 Without Project traffic conditions based on the LOS impact criteria outlined in this report. 9.2.2 Year 2030 With Project Traffic Conditions Review of column (5) of Table 9-2 shows that the same six (6) key study roadway segments are forecast to continue to operate at adverse LOS on a daily basis under Year 2030 With Project traffic conditions based on the LOS impact criteria outlined in this report. However, as presented in Table 9-3, these study roadway segments are forecast to operate at LOS D or better during the AM and PM peak hours. As a result, the study roadway segments are not significantly impacted by Year 2030 With Project traffic and therefore no improvements are required. .

To meet these goals, the CMP contains a number of policies designed to monitor and address system performance issues. OCTA developed the policies that makeup Orange County’s CMP with local jurisdictions, the California Department of Transportation, and the South Coast Air Quality Management District. As Orange County’s Congestion Management Agency (CMA), Orange County Transportation Agency (OCTA) is responsible for the administration of the CMP, as well as providing data and models that are consistent with the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) region, and developing the deficiency plan processes. The 2009 Orange County Congestion Management Program (CMP) stipulates the requirements for maintaining LOS E at CMP intersections and roadway segments. The following four (4) Congestion Management Program (CMP) intersections are located within the study area: 1. Manchester Avenue/I-5 Southbound Ramps at Katella Avenue 2. Anaheim Way/I-5 Northbound Ramps at Katella Avenue 7. SR-57 Southbound Ramps at Katella Avenue 8. SR-57 Northbound Ramps at Katella Avenue The following eight (8) study area arterial segments are included in the CMP network 1. Katella Avenue between Manchester Avenue and Anaheim Way 2. Katella Avenue between I-5 Freeway and Lewis Street 3. Katella Avenue between Lewis Street and State College Boulevard 4. Katella Avenue between State College Boulevard and Sportstown 5.

The four (4) intersections listed below are Caltrans’ ramp intersections and have been analyzed using the Highway Capacity Manual 2000 (HCM) Methodology: 1. Manchester Ave/I-5 Southbound Ramps at Katella Ave 2. Anaheim Way/I-5 Northbound Ramps at Katella Ave 7. SR-57 Southbound Ramps at Katella Ave 8. SR-57 Northbound Ramps at Katella Ave It is expected that the results obtained from using the ICU methodology and the HCM methodology will be compatible and lead to similar conclusions. However, the two methods measure and analyze different travel flow characteristics, which leads to results that are not identical. The minimum required level of service to be maintained at Caltrans ramp intersections is LOS D as identified by Caltrans District 12 staff. In addition, Freeway Ramp Analysis for merge/diverge/weaving was also conducted using the methods provided in the Highway Capacity Manual 2000 (HCM 2000) for the following eight (8) Caltrans ramps: Merge/Diverge Analysis 1. I-5 Northbound On-Ramp from Katella Ave 2. I-5 Southbound Off-Ramp to Katella Ave/Orangewood Ave 3. SR-57 Northbound On-Ramp from Eastbound Katella Ave 4.

SR-57 Southbound between Ball Rd On-Ramp and Katella Ave Off-Ramp Similarly, Freeway Segment Analysis was also conducted using the methods provided in the Highway Capacity Manual 2000 (HCM 2000) for the following four (4) Caltrans freeway segments: 1. SR-57 Northbound from Orangewood Ave to Katella Ave 2. SR-57 Southbound from Katella Ave to Orangewood Ave LINSCOTT, LAW & GREENSPAN, engineers LLG Ref. 2-10-3123-1 ARTIC, Anaheim N:\3100\2103123 - ARTIC, Anaheim\- July 2011 Update -\Report\3123 ARTIC, Anaheim TIA 04-11-12.doc 70 3. SR-57 Northbound from Katella Ave to Ball Rd 4. SR-57 Southbound from Ball Rd to Katella Ave Caltrans currently does not have any additional improvements identified or planned for the identified impacted and deficient segments. Outside of the additional northbound lane which will be constructed on the Northbound SR-57 freeway in the next few years, there are no planned or programmed improvements to the surrounding freeways. In addition, the City does not have jurisdiction over the State Highway System and, therefore, cannot directly implement mitigation measures associated with project related impacts on mainline segments. Section 14.0 will discuss State Highway System impacts and mitigation strategies in further detail. Since freeway merge, diverge and weaving segment operations are dependent upon mainline and ramp capacities, reducing congestion on these facilities contributes to higher speeds and could lead to an improved LOS. Improving merge, diverge and weaving facilities through the addition of auxiliary lanes within the area could provide additional capacity and reduce the segment density. Operational improvements through improved signage or other ITS measures may also be developed in consultation with Caltrans in order to improve the LOS. 11.1 Year 2014 Intersection Capacity Analysis Table 11-1 summarizes the peak hour Level of Service results at the four (4) Caltrans study intersections for Year 2014 traffic conditions.

The existing intersection of Sportstown and Katella Avenue is a full-access, signalized intersection that provides access to Lot C (Metrolink/Amtrak Parking Lot). Driveway 1 along Douglass Road is a one-way stop-controlled, right-in and left-out/right-out only driveway providing access to the Schmid Property. Driveway 2 along Douglass Road is a five-legged, full-access (only the northbound left is restricted), signalized intersection providing ingress/egress from Lot A (ARTIC North Parking Lot) and egress for the buses. Driveway 3 along Douglass Road is a signalized intersection that provides inbound-only access to the buses only. Driveway 4 along Douglass Road is a one-way stop-controlled, full-access driveway providing access to Lot B (ARTIC South Parking Lot). Driveway 5 along Katella Avenue is a one-way stop-controlled driveway that provides right- in/right-out only access to Lot A (ARTIC North Parking Lot) as well as to the buses area. It should be noted that the ARTIC patrons parking in Lot C, which also has access from Douglass Road, would access the train platforms through the Stadium Pedestrian Tunnel which will be constructed on the west end of the platforms. 13.1.1 Year 2014 With Project Traffic Conditions Table 13-1 summarizes the intersection operations at the five (5) Project driveways for Year 2014 With Project traffic conditions for the proposed Project. The operations analysis for the Project driveways is based on the Highway Capacity Manual 2000 (HCM 2000) methodology for signalized and unsignalized intersections. Review of Table 13-1 shows that all the Project driveways are forecast to operate at an acceptable service level of LOS B or better during the AM and PM peak hours for Year 2014 With Project traffic conditions. As such, Project access will be adequate. Motorists entering and exiting the Project site will be able to do so comfortably, safely and without undue congestion. Appendix S presents the Year 2014 With Project Delay/LOS calculation worksheets for the five (5) Project driveways. A driveway analysis was not performed for Year 2030. Between Year 2014 and Year 2030, several new services will be provided at ARTIC, as stated in Section 6.4. The access and parking requirements for these services have not been defined. It is uncertain how many of these services will use the proposed ARTIC access points, and if the parking lot will be expanded or modified to serve the future uses at ARTIC. As stated in Section 6.4, the projects that will utilize ARTIC will be undergoing their own environmental analyses and these projects will do their own site access evaluation based on their project proposals.

The queuing evaluation was conducted based on projected Year 2014 With Project peak hour driveway traffic volumes and the Highway Capacity Manual 2000 (HCM) signalized and unsignalized methodology. 13.2.1 Year 2014 With Project Traffic Conditions Based on the HCM service level calculations, which calculates a critical (95th percentile) queue value in number of vehicles per lane, the maximum number of inbound vehicle queue calculated during the Year 2014 With Project Traffic Conditions occurs on the inbound southbound left-turn movement from Douglass Road into Driveway 2 during the AM peak hour. The queue on Douglass Road is forecast to have a maximum queue of eight (8) vehicles. This vehicle queue length translates to 176 feet in queuing (assuming an average car length of 22 feet). The maximum number of outbound vehicle queue calculated during the Year 2014 With Project Traffic Conditions occurs on the outbound westbound right-turn movement from Driveway 2 onto Douglass Road during the AM and PM peak hours. The queue on Driveway 2 is forecast to have a maximum queue of three (3) vehicles. This vehicle queue length translates to 66 feet in queuing (assuming an average car length of 22 feet). All of the other Project driveways are forecast to operate with a maximum queue of two (2) vehicles during the AM and/or PM peak hours. Based on the analysis, adequate vehicle storage is provided at all of the driveways and review of the proposed site plan indicates that all Project driveways have sufficient stacking to accommodate the forecast vehicle queues. Based on the above, no changes to the proposed configuration of the Project driveways are necessary. 13.3 Internal Circulation Evaluation The on-site circulation was evaluated in terms of vehicle-pedestrian conflicts. Based on our review of the preliminary site plan, the overall layout does not create any unsafe vehicle-pedestrian conflict points and the driveway throating is sufficient such that access to parking spaces is not impacted by internal vehicle queuing/stacking. Curb return radii have been confirmed and are adequate for passenger cars, buses, shuttles, service/delivery trucks and trash trucks. Project traffic is not anticipated to cause significant queuing/stacking on the Project driveways. The on-site circulation is very good based on our review of the proposed site plan, whereas the alignment, spacing and throating of the Project driveways is adequate. The circulation around the buildings is adequate with sufficient sight distance along the drive aisles. 13.4 Intersection of Douglass Road and Katella Avenue Operations Analysis (HCM Methodology) To supplement the operations analysis for the site access evaluation, the intersection of Douglass Road at Katella Avenue has been analyzed using the HCM 2000 Methodology to determine the appropriate northbound approach lane geometry for the Year 2014 Project opening condition without LINSCOTT, LAW & GREENSPAN, engineers LLG Ref. 2-10-3123-1 ARTIC, Anaheim N:\3100\2103123 - ARTIC, Anaheim\- July 2011 Update -\Report\3123 ARTIC, Anaheim TIA 04-11-12.doc 92 requiring the need for any roadway improvements to Douglass Road on the north side of the intersection. As a result of the HCM analysis, the intersection of Douglass Road at Katella Avenue is recommended to consist of a northbound lane configuration of two NBL turn lanes, one NBTR lane and one NBR lane for the Year 2014 Project opening condition. As presented in Table 13-1, the intersection of Douglass Road at Katella Avenue operates at acceptable LOS D or better based on the HCM 2000 Methodology and the lane configuration mentioned above.

The City currently has a traffic fee program in place to fund General Plan improvements required under 2030 No Project and With Project conditions. The City has a long-standing policy that as development occurs throughout the City, traffic studies are prepared to demonstrate the need for implementation of the improvements identified in the General Plan and developer fees and other local dedicated taxes will contribute to those improvements as needed. The fee, initially developed in 1993 and updated periodically provides a proper nexus between increased development in the City and associated traffic impacts to the citywide circulation system. Developers contribute fees to the City, which uses the fund to implement circulation improvements in the City or as the City of Anaheim’s local match for leveraging funding from OCTA and Caltrans for circulation system improvements. Hence, the improvements assumed in the build-out of the General Plan, prior to the approval of the Proposed Project are expected to be paid for and implemented through the City’s existing traffic impact fee program. Additionally, the City of Anaheim currently has a Community Facilities District (CFD) in place associated with development in the Platinum Triangle. The CFD is expected to contribute funds to all infrastructure needs in the Platinum Triangle including transportation. The City has proposed improvement strategies that return all intersections to an acceptable LOS under the 2030 With Project scenario. The fair-share calculations, presented later on in the report, identify the proposed Project’s fair-share percentage based on Project trips to study area intersections. The proposed Project would be expected to contribute that percentage toward the costs of the recommended improvements. Intersection and arterial segment improvements in the City of Orange, in addition to State Highway System facility improvements throughout the study area will have fees contributed to them by the proposed Project, commensurate with the fair-share analysis. Although Anaheim does not have jurisdiction over the facilities, the project will be responsible for contributions for the appropriate fair-share toward the recommended improvements. Those specific improvements and fair-shares for facilities in the City of Orange and Caltrans facilities are discussed later in this chapter. 14.2 Steps for Mitigation Measures As a general rule, mitigation measures for intersections or arterials begin with identification of any measures that might have been recommended as part of other traffic studies in the area. These mitigation measures are then applied to determine whether they result in intersection or roadway segment operation within acceptable thresholds. If mitigation measures were not previously identified either as part of a traffic study or planned future improvements, mitigation is achieved by identifying new improvements that will provide adequate capacity for the critical movement for an intersection or for arterial segments. Critical movements are conflicting intersection turning movements that are identified to have the highest LINSCOTT, LAW & GREENSPAN, engineers LLG Ref. 2-10-3123-1 ARTIC, Anaheim N:\3100\2103123 - ARTIC, Anaheim\- July 2011 Update -\Report\3123 ARTIC, Anaheim TIA 04-11-12.doc 95 ICU for opposing movements; i.e. each of the approaches at a four-legged intersection will contain a critical movement that conflicts with an opposing movement. Since the combination of the ICU values for each critical movement defines the ICU, providing additional through lanes or turning lanes is dependent upon whether the critical movement is a through or turn (left or right) movement. The decision of whether additional lanes should be auxiliary lanes that just add capacity to the intersection without widening the street segment or extended to adjacent intersections is dependent upon the performance, proximity and improvement needs of adjacent intersections. Mitigation measures are further analyzed for feasibility. A preliminary feasibility assessment is reliant upon potential cost-effectiveness and right-of-way acquisition. Right-of-way acquisitions are least preferred as they incur relocation and compensation cost for displaced residences and businesses which are additional burdens to the community, hence wherever feasible additional capacity for through movements or turn movements are facilitated through re-striping or widening, provided the intersection has sufficient receiving lanes as vehicles pass through the intersection. For those intersections, roadway segments, freeway ramps and freeway segments where projected traffic volumes are expected to result in unacceptable operating conditions, this report recommends traffic mitigation improvements that change the intersection and/or roadway geometry to increase capacity. These capacity improvements involve roadway widening and/or re-striping to reconfigure (add lanes) roadways to specific approaches of a key intersection. The identified improvements are expected to: Address the impact of existing traffic, Project traffic and future non-project (ambient traffic growth and related projects) traffic and Improve Levels of Service to an acceptable range and/or to pre-project conditions. 14.3 Existing With Project Improvements 14.3.1 Intersections Improvements Since there were no impacted intersections under the Existing With Project traffic conditions, no improvements have been recommended. It should be noted that the intersection of Douglass Road at Katella Avenue assumes a northbound lane configuration of two NBL, one NBTR and one NBR for the “with” Project scenario as identified in the Project Description of the ARTIC EIR. 14.3.2 Roadway Segments Improvements Since there were no impacted roadway segments under the Existing With Project traffic conditions, no improvements have been recommended. 14.4 Year 2014 With Project Improvements Table 14-1 presents a summary of the Year 2014 With Project improvements with the resulting levels of service.

Appendix T contains the Project Related Fair-Share Calculation Tables for all the intersections, roadway segments, Caltrans ramp locations and Caltrans freeway segments analyzed in this report 14.5.1 Intersections Improvements The results of the Year 2030 With Project traffic conditions level of service analysis indicate that the proposed Project will significantly impact one (1) of the of the twelve (12) key study intersections. While mitigation measures are required for Project related significant impacts, the Project will also contribute fair share costs for cumulative impacts under buildout conditions. The improvements listed below have been identified to mitigate the traffic impacts at the intersections significantly impacted by the Year 2030 With Project traffic: Douglass Road at Katella Avenue: It should be noted that the intersection of Douglass Road at Katella Avenue operates at an acceptable LOS, but exceeds the minimum required threshold, thus creating a significant impact. The installation of changeable message signs on both Katella Avenue and Douglass Road, which is a Project Design Feature, will improve operational capacity of this intersection. Hence, this Project design feature will offset the impact of the Year 2030 With Project traffic conditions. 14.5.2 Roadway Segments Improvements Since there were no impacted roadway segments under the Year 2030 With Project traffic conditions, no improvements have been recommended. 14.5.3 Caltrans Ramp Intersections Improvements The results of the Year 2030 With Project traffic conditions level of service analysis indicate that the proposed Project will significantly impact one (1) of the of the four (4) key study Caltrans ramp intersections. The improvements listed below have been identified to mitigate the traffic impacts at the Caltrans ramp intersection significantly impacted by the Year 2030 With Project traffic: Manchester Avenue/I-5 Southbound Ramps at Katella Avenue: Widen and/or re-stripe Katella Avenue to construct a pedestrian refuge island on the west leg of intersection with pedestrian buttons. Modify the existing traffic signal and install eastbound right-turn overlap phase on Katella Avenue. 14.5.4 Caltrans Ramp Locations Improvements (Merge/Diverge Analysis) Since there were no impacted ramp locations based on the merge/diverge analysis under the Year 2030 With Project traffic conditions, no improvements have been recommended.

LINSCOTT, LAW & GREENSPAN, engineers LLG Ref. 2-10-3123-1 ARTIC, Anaheim N:\3100\2103123 - ARTIC, Anaheim\- July 2011 Update -\Report\3123 ARTIC, Anaheim TIA 04-11-12.doc 102 14.6 Caltrans Ramps and Freeway Improvements As identified in the Year 2014 With Project traffic conditions, there are three (3) freeway ramp locations (weaving segments) and two (2) freeway mainline segment deficiencies. For the Year 2030 With Project traffic conditions, there are three (3) freeway ramp locations (weaving segments) and one (1) freeway mainline segment deficiencies. For the Year 2030 With Project traffic conditions, the traffic volume on all freeway segments within the study area increases when compared with Existing traffic conditions. The proposed Project forecast volumes are generally consistent with the No Project scenario forecast volumes, with some segments and ramps experiencing a slight increase in the peak hour. Improvements beyond the planned system improvements will be required to maintain an acceptable LOS for the State Highway System. Potential improvement measures would include the addition of one lane to freeway mainline segments. However, capacity improvements to the freeway mainline are not feasible improvement options. The rationale is that Caltrans has not identified any further improvements through a Corridor Study beyond those already assumed in the build-out analysis for SR-57 and the City has no control over State facilities. Additional capacity improvements are infeasible due to physical, right-of-way, and other environmental constraints. For example, the expansion of the identified freeway segments would involve significant right-of- way acquisition, which would involve either the acquisition of residences and/or businesses, or this would involve bringing the freeway facilities close to such residences and businesses. It is not a legal prerogative or policy of the City to support further freeway widening when such widening would have negative impacts on adjacent businesses and residences. State facilities located within the City have been significantly expanded over the past several years and City businesses and areas which were subject to an acquisition or which were located near acquisitions have not fully recovered from the acquisition activities. As an example, remnant residential and commercial parcels exist along I-5 at the Euclid Street exit. Other examples also exist. In addition, bringing State facilities closer to residences and businesses is also not a social or legal prerogative of the City. The City does not desire to further exacerbate these land use and air quality incompatibility issues by encouraging the expansion of freeway facilities adjacent to suburban-style tract houses. As a result of these policy prerogatives and identified constraints, the Project is not expected to mitigate the freeway mainline segments to an acceptable LOS. Impacts to freeway ramp facilities are the result of high forecast volumes on the ramps themselves coupled with high forecast volumes on the freeway mainline adjacent to the ramp facilities. The utilization of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and signage improvements could potentially improve the flow and operational capacity of Caltrans facilities, but would not reduce the impacts to less than significant levels. Thus, the impact will remain significant and unavoidable. Since the major freeway facilities within the study area, I-5 and SR-57 have reached their design capacity or will have reached it by Year 2030 and the required physical improvements are largely the result of background regional traffic, consultation between the City of Anaheim and Caltrans will be necessary to reach consensus on any potential operational improvement measures. The improvement measures could consist of ITS improvements, enhanced signage, or other operational improvements. LINSCOTT, LAW & GREENSPAN, engineers LLG Ref. 2-10-3123-1 ARTIC, Anaheim N:\3100\2103123 - ARTIC, Anaheim\- July 2011 Update -\Report\3123 ARTIC, Anaheim TIA 04-11-12.doc 103 The City of Anaheim has no jurisdiction to implement the physical improvements on the Caltrans facilities and a statement of overriding considerations will be discussed in the EIR identifying the potential operational improvements to Caltrans facilities. Pursuant to Caltrans’ Guide for the Preparation of Traffic Impact Studies (December 2002), consultation between the City of Anaheim and Caltrans will be necessary to reach consensus on any potential operational improvement measures that can be implemented in the study area to assist in mitigation of traffic increases related to implementation of the proposed Project. 14.6.1 Caltrans Freeway Segments State highway facilities within the study area are not within the jurisdiction of the City of Anaheim. Rather, those improvements are planned, funded, and constructed by the State of California through a legislative and political process involving the State Legislature; the California Transportation Commission (CTC); the California Business, Transportation and Housing Agency; the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans); and OCTA. In California, most State Highway System improvements are programmed through two documents, the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) or the State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP). State and federal fuel taxes generate most of the funds used to pay for these improvements. Funds expected to be available for transportation improvements are identified through a Fund Estimate prepared by Caltrans and adopted by the CTC. These funds, along with other fund sources, are deposited in the State Highway Account to be programmed and allocated to specific project improvements in both the STIP and SHOPP by the CTC. The STIP is developed from Regional Transportation Improvement Programs (RTIPs) proposed by Regional Transportation Planning Agencies (RTPAs/MPOs) throughout California and the Interregional Transportation Improvement Program (ITIP) proposed by Caltrans. Of the funds made available by the CTC for the STIP, 25 percent is made available for Caltrans to propose expansion and capacity-enhancing improvements on the statutorily designated Interregional Road System while 75 percent of the funds are made available to the RTPAs/MPOs to propose all types of improvements on all other State Highway System Roads, other non-State highway roads eligible to use federal funds, and on the Interregional Road System. Transportation funds generally come from a variety of sources including National Highway System funds; State fuel taxes; federal fuel taxes; sales taxes on fuel; truck weight fees; roadway and bridge tolls; user fares; local sales tax measures; development fees, where applicable; bond revenues; and State and local general and matching funds. Improvements to State Highway Systems are deemed to be matters of federal, State, regional, and local concern. On the federal level, the City, through its Congressional delegation, has aggressively sought federal monies for regional roadway improvements. Within the study area, relatively recent projects have provided improvements to the freeway facilities. Interstate 5 within the study area was widened in the late 1990’s under the OCTA Measure M. Additionally, the I-5 and SR-57 interchange to the south of the study area was recently upgraded to improve flow on all facilities. LINSCOTT, LAW & GREENSPAN, engineers LLG Ref. 2-10-3123-1 ARTIC, Anaheim N:\3100\2103123 - ARTIC, Anaheim\- July 2011 Update -\Report\3123 ARTIC, Anaheim TIA 04-11-12.doc 104 The State Highway System I-5 freeway and ramps that are cumulatively deficient under 2030 conditions are at their recommended build-out, according to the Route Concept Report (RCR) for the Interstate 5 facility approved by Caltrans in Year 2000. On I-5, the RCR identifies a concept facility of eight general-purpose lanes and two high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes for the segment between the SR-22/57 interchange, south of the Study Area, to SR-91, north of the Study Area. On SR-57, the RCR identifies an eight-lane existing facility with two HOV lanes for the segment between the I-5/SR-22 interchange, south of the study area to SR- 91, north of the study area. For the 2030 analysis, the concept build-out facility of five general- purpose lanes and two HOV lanes was assumed, although there is still ongoing study for the funding and timeline for implementation of these improvements. State and local funding sources, including Renewed Measure M funding through OCTA, is currently assessing improvements on SR-57. In an attempt to further increase capacity and reduce congestion on SR-57, a feasibility study was conducted by OCTA to examine alternatives for adding an additional lane in each direction between the Los Angeles County line and the I-5/SR-22/SR-57 interchange. This study concluded that due of extensive right-of-way impacts and expanded traffic at the I-5/SR-22/SR-57 interchange, any consideration of capacity improvements should be deferred until the SR-57 is extended southward to the I-405 freeway. The following improvements are currently in the design and environmental stages with dedicated funding from OCTA through the Measure M Program. SR-57 Northbound between Orangethorpe Avenue to Lambert Road: Addition of one general-purpose freeway lane from north of the SR-91 near Orangethorpe Avenue in Placentia to Lambert Road in Brea (The project is currently in the design phase and construction is scheduled to begin in fall Year 2010). SR-57 Northbound between Katella Avenue Off-Ramp to Lincoln Avenue Off-Ramp: Addition of auxiliary lane capacity (entered the environmental phase in Year 2008 and construction is scheduled to follow approximately one year after the Orangethorpe Avenue to Lambert Road segment begins construction in late Year 2010 if project is approved) (Source: OCTA). For improvements to the Caltrans facilities, the City of Anaheim, lead agency for this project, will have to decide whether (1) changes, alterations, or mitigation measures are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency such as Caltrans and not the City of Anaheim. It must determine if such changes have been adopted by such other agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency and/or (2) whether any further mitigation to the impacted State Highway System are feasible, and if not, whether specific overriding economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits of the project outweigh the unavoidable cumulative traffic impacts caused by the Project. The City of Anaheim has already taken steps to alleviate most of the impacts of increased development of the Platinum Triangle. The Gene Autry Extension Project and recent capacity improvements to State College Boulevard and Katella Avenue are just some of the examples of the City of Anaheim’s commitment to an effective circulation system within the Platinum Triangle. The City of Anaheim has an existing CFD program that outlines its strategy toward implementing many LINSCOTT, LAW & GREENSPAN, engineers LLG Ref. 2-10-3123-1 ARTIC, Anaheim N:\3100\2103123 - ARTIC, Anaheim\- July 2011 Update -\Report\3123 ARTIC, Anaheim TIA 04-11-12.doc 105 of the improvements necessitated by increased development in the Platinum Triangle, including ARTIC. With completion of the improvements described in the mitigation, the significant impacts associated with the proposed Project would be fully mitigated with the exception of the improvements to State highway facilities. However, inasmuch as the primary responsibility for approving and/or completing certain improvements located outside of Anaheim lies with agencies other than the City of Anaheim (i.e., City of Orange and Caltrans); there is the potential that significant impacts may not be fully mitigated if such improvements are not completed for reasons beyond the City of Anaheim’s control. Should that occur, the Project’s traffic impact would remain significant. The City is committed to working with the City of Orange and Caltrans to identify the most appropriate improvement strategies for their facilities and acknowledges the fair-share cost of improvements to those facilities, however, the City of Orange and Caltrans have full jurisdiction toward implementing the identified improvements under their jurisdiction. 14.6.2 Caltrans Freeway Ramps and Weaving Segments Neither the State or any other agency, such as OCTA, currently has a program in place for construction of the mainline, ramp, and weaving segment improvements at the Year 2030 time horizon to satisfy baseline congested conditions; nor is there currently any mechanism in place that would ensure that funds contributed to Caltrans or to the State to ameliorate impacts on freeway mainlines will be used for their intended purpose. In addition, because the I-5 and SR-57 are exclusively controlled by the State, there is no mechanism by which the City can construct or guarantee the construction of any improvements to I-5 or SR-57. Proposed Project fair-share percentages have been computed for all the Caltrans Facilities under Year 2030 With Project conditions. The fair-share percentages have been computed per the methodology outlined in the Caltrans Guide for the Preparation of Traffic Impact Studies. Appendix “B” of the guidelines directs users to use a formula to calculate equitable share responsibility for the traffic impacts of proposed Project. The guidelines are not intended to establish a legal standard for determining equitable responsibility, but rather to provide a starting point for discussions with Caltrans to address the traffic mitigation and fair-share responsibilities. The traffic on the State Highway System is regional in nature and the deficiencies are the result of expected regional growth. Caltrans has not entered into an agreement with the City and Caltrans has not adopted a program by which Caltrans can ensure that developer fair-share will assist in the funding of potential capacity or operational improvements on the study area State Highway System. Because I-5 is at its Conceptual Buildout, and OCTA and State funding is committed to the planned widening of SR-57, there is no guarantee that impact fees from the proposed Project will be dedicated to the improvements of the study area State Highway System. Standard capacity improvements, through the addition of one or more lanes on the freeway ramps, will not necessarily result in acceptable ramp operations for ramps that are forecast to operate deficiently. The density of the ramps is influenced by both the mainline and ramp volume, therefore, LINSCOTT, LAW & GREENSPAN, engineers LLG Ref. 2-10-3123-1 ARTIC, Anaheim N:\3100\2103123 - ARTIC, Anaheim\- July 2011 Update -\Report\3123 ARTIC, Anaheim TIA 04-11-12.doc 106 the traffic on the mainline must be reduced or the capacity of the mainline facility must be enhanced through the addition of an auxiliary lane to improve freeway ramp performance. The weaving analysis revealed that several weaving areas operate at deficient levels of service under Year 2030 With Project traffic conditions as a result of high mainline forecast volumes and cumulative growth. Potential improvements include the implementation of an auxiliary lane within the weaving area to improve operations although this does not satisfy the capacity needs of the corresponding and adjacent mainline segment. 14.7 Other Mitigation Measures This section will generally describe the mitigation measures that have been developed for the proposed Project in regards to transportation and traffic. These mitigation measures will apply to any owner or developer of real property within the boundaries of ARTIC. 14.7.1 Project Level Impact Analysis The payment of transportation impact fees is required per the Anaheim Municipal Code. These fees go towards the funding of the implementation of improvements addressed by the City of Anaheim Circulation Element. As set forth below, the City shall sufficiently fund required Project related improvements: Prior to the approval of the final subdivision map or issuance of a Building Permit, whichever occurs first, the property owner/developer shall pay the identified fair- share responsibility identified in the traffic analysis for this project as determined by the City. Prior to approval of the first final subdivision map or issuance of the first building permit, whichever occurs first, the property owner/developer shall irrevocably offer for dedication (with subordination of easements), including necessary construction easements, the ultimate arterial highway right(s)-of-way adjacent to their property as shown in the Circulation Element of the Anaheim General Plan. 14.7.2 Transportation Fee Program The payment of transportation impact fees is required per the Anaheim Municipal Code. These fees go towards the funding of the implementation of improvements addressed by the City of Anaheim Circulation Element. As set forth below, the City shall sufficiently fund required Project related improvements: Prior to issuance of the first building permit for each building, the property owner/developer shall pay the appropriate Transportation Impact and Improvement Fees to the City of Anaheim in amounts determined by the City Council Resolution in effect at the time of issuance of the building permit with credit given for City- authorized improvements provided by the property owner/developer. The property owner shall also participate in all applicable reimbursement or benefit districts, which have been established.

With implementation of the improvements presented previously, the significant Project related or cumulative impacts associated with the proposed Project would be fully mitigated. However, inasmuch as the primary responsibility for approving and/or completing certain improvements located outside of Anaheim lies with agencies other than the City of Anaheim (i.e., Caltrans), there is the potential that significant impacts may not be fully mitigated if such improvements are not completed for reasons beyond the City of Anaheim’s control (e.g., the City of Anaheim cannot undertake or require improvements outside of Anaheim’s jurisdiction or the City cannot construct improvements in the Caltrans right-of-way without Caltrans Approval). Should that occur, the Project’s traffic impact would remain significant. 14.9 City of Orange Improvements 14.9.1 Intersections Improvements As shown in the analysis, no intersections in the City of Orange are impacted by ARTIC; no improvements have been recommended. 14.9.2 Roadway Segments Improvements As shown in the analysis, no roadway segments in the City of Orange are impacted by ARTIC; no improvements have been recommended.

The trip generation rates are based on the number of parking spaces, which is the most reliable means of determining trip generation for transit stations. While trip generation for the retail components are fixed based on a square-foot ratio, transit stations have more variables, including vehicle occupancy rates. The current parking studies assume a 1.2 vehicle occupancy rate, which is higher than existing conditions. As a result, more people are ridesharing because fewer spaces are being provided per passenger, when future Metrolink expanded service is considered. The result is that the trip rate would be the same, but there would be a different number of people per car.

This is because the Year 2030 With Project Traffic Conditions volume forecasts were obtained from the Anaheim Traffic Analysis Model (ATAM). Since the Revised Platinum Triangle Expansion includes buildout of ARTIC, which does not change, the Year 2030 forecast volumes from ATAM are considered the Year 2030 With Project volumes. Therefore, to obtain the without Project volumes, the Project trips were subtracted from the “with” Project volumes. Therefore, since the Project trips changed between this current traffic impact analysis report and the July 16, 2010 traffic impact analysis report, the Year 2030 Without Project traffic volumes changed, while the Year 2030 With Project traffic volumes remained constant.

This addendum traffic impact analysis report assesses the potential traffic impacts associated with a change in Project development totals, specifically the increase in parking spaces from 960 spaces to 1,087 spaces for a net increase of 127 parking spaces. Additionally, the Project now consists of the construction of a 67,000 square-feet (SF) regional transportation facility as compared to a 310,000 SF regional transportation facility (hereinafter referred to as Previous Project) as evaluated in the Traffic Impact Analysis for ARTIC, Anaheim, dated July 16, 2010 (July 2010 traffic study). It should be noted that a detailed list of the differences between the proposed Project and previous Project analyzed in this traffic impact analysis addendum is provided at the end of the Summary of Conclusions. This addendum traffic impact analysis report is intended to support the preparation of an addendum to EIR No. 343, to be prepared by Kleinfelder, in conjunction with the discretionary review of the conditional use permit for the Project. The Project site is bounded by Katella Avenue to the north, the Orange Freeway (SR-57) to the south, the Santa Ana River to the east and Douglass Road to the west, with the Los Angeles to San Diego (LOSSAN) rail corridor bisecting the site. The Project is to replace and enlarge the existing Anaheim Metrolink/Amtrak station and will include a nominal amount of commercial/mixed use development to serve visitors of the transit facility. Construction of ARTIC is estimated to be completed in 2014. The Project would provide improvements to convert the site from a former County of Orange maintenance facility to a fully functioning regional transportation facility. Along with the Metrolink Service Expansion Program currently underway, the site would accommodate existing transit services and future services such as Bus Rapid Transit and other rubber-tired fixed route and shuttle services. The proposed ARTIC site includes the 13.58-acre Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) parcel and an adjacent 2.2-acre parcel owned by the City of Anaheim. The proposed Project will replace the existing Metrolink station located to the west of the Project site along the northern edge of the Angel Stadium of Anaheim parking area. While there are industrial buildings on the proposed Project site, the buildings are vacant and will be demolished as part of the Project development. After taking credit for the existing Metrolink land use, the proposed Project is forecast to generate 5,119 net daily trips (one half arriving and one half departing), with 818 net trips (653 inbound, 165 outbound) produced in the AM peak hour and 615 net trips (121 inbound, 494 outbound) produced in the PM peak hour on a “typical” weekday.

All eight (8) of the key study roadway segments are forecast to operate at acceptable LOS B on a daily basis under Existing With Project traffic conditions based on the LOS impact criteria outlined in this report. Year 2014 With Project Conditions None of the key study intersections under the Year 2014 With Project traffic conditions are significantly impacted by the addition of Project traffic per the impact criteria outlined in this report. None of the key study roadway segments under the Year 2014 With Project traffic conditions are significantly impacted by the addition of Project traffic per the impact criteria outlined in this report. Year 2030 With Project Conditions One (1) key study intersection (Douglass Road at Katella Avenue) will be significantly impacted based on the LOS standards and the significance impact criteria defined in this report. It should be noted that the intersection of Douglass Road at Katella Avenue operates at an acceptable LOS, but exceeds the minimum required threshold, thus creating a significant impact. The installation of changeable message signs on both Katella Avenue and Douglass Road, which is a Project Design Feature, will improve operational capacity of this intersection. Hence, this Project design feature will offset the impact of the Year 2030 With Project traffic conditions. None of the key study roadway segments under the Year 2030 With Project traffic conditions are significantly impacted by the addition of Project traffic per the impact criteria outlined in this report.

However, inasmuch as the primary responsibility for approving and/or completing certain improvements located outside of Anaheim lies with agencies other than the City of Anaheim (i.e., City of Orange and Caltrans); there is the potential that significant impacts may not be fully mitigated if such improvements are not completed for reasons beyond the City of Anaheim’s control. Should that occur, the Project’s traffic impact would remain significant. The City is committed to working with the City of Orange and Caltrans to identify the most appropriate improvement strategies for their facilities and acknowledges the fair-share cost of improvements to those facilities, however, the City of Orange and Caltrans have full jurisdiction toward implementing the identified improvements under their jurisdiction. Unavoidable Impacts Although every effort was made through site analyses and aerial imagery evaluation to ensure that all recommended improvements are physically feasible, there are improvements identified in this study that may not be feasible due to high Project cost, the inability to undertake right-of-way acquisitions as a matter of policy to preserve existing businesses, environmental constraints, or jurisdictional considerations. With implementation of the improvements presented previously, the significant Project related or cumulative impacts associated with the proposed Project would be fully mitigated. However, inasmuch as the primary responsibility for approving and/or completing certain improvements located outside of Anaheim lies with agencies other than the City of Anaheim (i.e., Caltrans), there is the potential that significant impacts may not be fully mitigated if such improvements are not completed for reasons beyond the City of Anaheim’s control (e.g., the City of Anaheim cannot undertake or require improvements outside of Anaheim’s jurisdiction or the City cannot construct improvements in the Caltrans right-of-way without Caltrans Approval). Should that occur, the Project’s traffic impact would remain significant. City of Orange Improvements As shown in the analysis, no intersections or roadway segments in the City of Orange are impacted by ARTIC; no improvements have been recommended. Proposed Project Comparison to Previous Project Traffic Impact Analysis Report A brief comparison of the proposed Project’s development tabulation, trip generation characteristics, Project access and potential traffic impacts in comparison to those identified in the Traffic Impact Analysis for ARTIC, Anaheim, dated July 16, 2010 (Previous Project) is shown below. The July 16, 2010 traffic study evaluated the potential impacts associated with construction of ARTIC with 960 parking spaces: LINSCOTT, LAW & GREENSPAN, engineers LLG Ref. 2-10-3123-1 ARTIC, Anaheim N:\3100\2103123 - ARTIC, Anaheim\- July 2011 Update -\Report\3123 ARTIC, Anaheim TIA 04-11-12.doc 125 Development Size: The proposed Project acreage is the same as the Previous Project.

ATTACHMENT NO. 7 ANAHEIM REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION INTERMODAL CENTER (ARTIC) PARKING DEMAND ANALYSIS Contents: Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center Parking Demand Analysis, Parsons Brinckerhoff, February 3, 2012 Peer Review and Technical Analysis of ARTIC Parking Demand Analysis prepared by Parsons Brinckerhoff, Richard Willson, Ph.D. FAICP, April 11, 2012 Prepared for: City of Anaheim Public Works Department April 11, 2012 Document Overview This parking demand analysis is intended to support the City of Anaheim’s deliberations concerning the Conditional Use Permit for the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC). The analysis considers parking demand associated with the transit facility, with an expected opening day in 2014. The general approach taken here is to provide sufficient commuter parking to support increased ridership, acknowledging that in the long-term, growth of the Platinum Triangle and improved station access will increase the use of non-vehicle station access modes such as shuttles and transit. The first document included in this report is a Parking Demand Analysis prepared by Parsons Brinkerhoff (PB Analysis), building on work completed by Cordoba Corporation in the Needs Assessment Update and Validation Technical Memorandum, August 2009. The PB Analysis assessed previous parking demand predictions in terms of technical and policy dimensions, arriving at an opening day commuter parking demand estimate of 849 spaces. This work was largely complete by June 2011, with minor updates reflected in the current February 3, 2012 document. City staff convened a review committee to consider the PB Analysis and additional parking issues. Dr. Richard Willson organized a review process to gather staff input and prepared a peer review of the PB Analysis. The second document in this report is the Willson Peer Review and Technical Analysis memorandum, which reached a conclusion in support of the PB Analysis parking demand estimate. The memorandum includes other analyses, including ARTIC retail patron parking demand. The City of Anaheim is obligated to study parking demand for uses that do not have code-provided parking ratios. This report provides the justification for the conclusions that: The PB Analysis demand estimate of 849 spaces for ARTIC commuters and employees is an appropriate basis for design and initial operations. This more than doubles the currently available supply, allowing growth in rail ridership to occur. Additional parking demand associated with ARTIC retail uses should be considered, bringing the total ARTIC demand estimate to 872 spaces. The planned parking supply of 1,082 spaces significantly exceeds the predicted commuter demand. 1 Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC) PARKING DEMAND ANALYSIS PREPARED BY PARSONS BRINCKERHOFF Prepared for: City of Anaheim Public Works Department Revised Febuary 3, 2012 2 PARKING DEMAND A guiding objective of the ARTIC transit vision is to reduce commuting patron reliance on single occupant private automobiles. ARTIC will improve access to transit options by connecting rail services to local bus routes, taxi service, private bus and shuttle services, bicycles and pedestrian amenities. This connecting of modes has a direct effect on lowering the parking demand, and consequently the needed parking supply, at ARTIC. To determine parking demand for the ARTIC, a critical assessment of previous parking demand analyses was conducted. The base condition for assumed transit services and ridership forecasts were derived from the Needs Assessment Update and Validation Technical Memorandum prepared by Cordoba Corporation in August 2009 (hereinafter referred to as the 2009 Cordoba Technical Memorandum). This is the same source document relied upon for the project environmental analysis and clearances. The parking demand calculated was based on two principal parking user types: originating passengers and on-site staff (employees). The retail land use provided for in the ARTIC facility is assumed to be incidental and accessory to the principal transit use. As such, the retail land use is assumed to share the transit customer base and therefore would not generate additional parking demand of its own. The parking demand estimates from the 2009 Cordoba Technical Memorandum were re-evaluated to ensure they reflect realistic market characteristics of transit services planned at ARTIC. As a first step, the originating passenger service levels provided by the 2009 Cordoba Technical Memorandum were reviewed by Parsonsons Brinckerhoff for each transit provider. The projected daily ridership estimates (total boardings) for each transit provider were maintained. The next steps included revisiting, and revising if warranted, the mode split percentage of each service provider. This was a key refinement from the uniform mode splits assumed in the 2009 Cordoba Technical Memorandum analysis. The occupancy rate for automobiles was reviewed and held at 1.2 persons per vehicle, consistent with the prior guiding baseline assumption. In order to achieve a 1.2 persons per vehicle rate it will be important to not over supply parking, to accentuate bicycle and pedestrian connectivity to the ARTIC site, and to ensure effective and attractive connecting feeder distributor transit services that accommodate “the last mile traveled” interests of the patrons. Table 1 presents a summary of the parking demand. It includes the projected originating passenger volumes for each transit provider and the corresponding parking demand, and an estimated employee parking demand. An additional demand for eight (8) parking spaces for police personnel use was included based on City direction. Specific factors evaluated include: • Regional Rail: By Year 2015, Amtrak will serve ARTIC with 26 trains per day. The projected number of daily boardings for Amtrak is anticipated to be 575 passengers in 2013. Amtrak primarily serves as a long-distance intercity passenger rail with a majority of patrons composed of tourists and visitors. The characteristics of these riders typically represent groups of people or families carrying luggage. The likelihood of such riders traveling by a private automobile to ARTIC would be higher than compared to commuter rail riders. Amtrak qualifies as a High generator of originating passenger trips with drive as the primary mode-of-access to reach ARTIC. 3 An assumption was made that at least 75% of daily originating Amtrak passengers will travel by auto with a split of 70% driving alone and 30% being dropped off or picked up by auto. The remaining 25% was assumed to travel to ARTIC by other transit. No Amtrak riders were assumed to walk or bike. The revised service level and mode shares result in a daily parking demand of 251 parking spaces for Amtrak patrons. • Commuter Rail: With implementation of the Metrolink Service Expansion Program (MSEP), being implemented separately by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), Metrolink is forecasted to generate 1,600 daily boardings at ARTIC. Metrolink patron characteristics show they are consistent patterned commuters; traveling on a regular basis within or between metropolitan areas and suburbs in Orange and Los Angeles counties. These commuters are further characterized as passengers whose trip purpose is mainly work-related and who arrive shortly before their departure at a station. It is noted that while roll out of the MSEP is expected to be deployed over a longer period of time then previously assumed, the 1,600 daily boardings forecast for opening year was held. Using the forecasted boarding is considered a conservative approach in estimating parking demand for the opening year ARTIC condition. Year 2001 and 2006 Metrolink On-Board Survey data (Source: Los Angeles Metro Transit Authority) was analyzed as part of the research in developing this parking plan. Of particular note, the 2001 survey indicated the following mode-of-access splits for the current Metrolink station in Anaheim: o Drive alone – 46% o Drop-off/Pick-up – 10% o Walk – 18% o Bike – 1% o Bus – 25% The 2006 Metrolink On-board Survey revealed a different mode split than 2001, and is summarized below for the Anaheim Station: o Drive alone – 89% o Carpool – 4% o Drop-off/Pick-up – 3% o Walk – 0% o Bike – 1% o Bus – 4% Based on the notable difference in the two Metrolink surveys, data in the 2009 Cordoba Technical Memorandum, and the desire and expectation for ARTIC to operate significantly different than the existing Anaheim station with less dependency on single occupant vehicles, a middle ground assumption was derived from the 2009 Cordoba Technical Memorandum. This middle ground takes into consideration the future more frequent and dispersed bus access services planned for ARTIC. The assumption is 50% of patrons will arrive at the station by a non- transit mode of transport. 90% of these passengers will arrive at the station by private automobile, with 20% being dropped-off and picked-up and 70% drive and park. The remaining 10% of originating passengers are assumed to access the 4 station via non-auto modes of transportation (5% bike and 5% walk). Based on these assumptions, the Metrolink commuter rail daily parking demand is estimated to be 467 parking spaces. • Local/Regional Bus: OCTA is expected to adjust the routing of five existing bus routes (50, 53, 57, 430, 757) so they will have direct connections to the ARTIC. These five routes currently service areas near the existing Anaheim station and ARTIC site. These routes are a mixture of “local”, “station link” and “express bus” services each serving a distinct purpose. The availability of these connected local, station link and express bus services to the ARTIC will offer improved choices and added benefits such as convenient proximity of a stop, faster connectivity, ease of transfer, and cost affordability. This will play a part in inducing shifts in travel behavior from driving alone to using transit connections to ARTIC. These public buses essentially provide feeder and distributor service to the ARTIC; they do not generate parking demand of their own at the ARTIC. All local/express bus boardings are assumed to either be non-auto originating passengers or transfer passengers from the rail services. • Anaheim Resort Transit (ART) Services: The combined daily ridership estimate for these transit services, which are part of the Anaheim Transportation Network (ATN), is projected to be 4,560 daily boardings. ART buses typically transport riders between Anaheim hotels and The Anaheim Resort entertainment venues A separate concurrent study is underway by ATN that is expected to restructure and possibly expand the current ART services in part to work with the new ARTIC intermodal paradigm. Anaheim Resort Transit services to and from ARTIC would operate as feeder and distributor service similar to the local/regional bus services offered by OCTA (i.e. feeder/distributor); therefore, no additional parking demand is foreseen. • Private Carriers: Greyhound, Coach America, tourism buses, and other intercity services constitute private carriers that may serve the ARTIC. These services are typically characterized by long-haul operations in excess of 100 miles. In prior ARTIC technical analyses, these carriers were projected to attract a daily ridership of 600 passengers at ARTIC by opening day. The parking calculations assume Greyhound and Coach America patrons are less likely to travel by automobile and park at ARTIC. Rather, patrons are expected to transfer from a public transit bus or be dropped off at a station. Tourism and international bus services can have similar patronage to Amtrak rail service, so some parking demand will exist. For purposes of the ARTIC parking calculations, it is assumed that the ridership activity will reflect a 75%-25% split between transfer passengers and drive-access passengers respectively. The further splits for drive-access mode were assumed to be 25% in their own private automobiles and 75% dropped-off/picked-up by private vehicles. Holding the vehicle occupancy rate for those that do drive and park at 1.2 persons per vehicle, the potential parking demand for the private carriers is estimated to be 31 spaces. 5 Table 1 Opening Year ARTIC Parking Demand Service Provider Daily Ridership Transfer Passengers Daily Originating Passengers Using Non-Transit Mode-of-Access Passenger Mode Split Auto Occupancy.

This translates to approximately 550 daily passengers. The assumptions for FlyAway shuttle service included a 50%-50% split between non-transit and transit patrons. In addition, mode split assumptions for non-transit users were consistent with that assumed for Private Carriers. Based on incorporating these splits and holding an average vehicle occupancy rate of 1.2 persons per vehicle, it was estimated the potential parking demand for FlyAway passengers to be 58 spaces. • Employees: Parking demand was estimated for on-site staff personnel. While it is assumed that some level of staffing will be on-site 24/7 (principally for security and facility maintenance), the highest demand for employee parking will occur weekdays between the hours of 6:00am and 7:00pm. This is assumed to be the time of day when all services of ARTIC would be in full operation concurrently. During these hours the following staff are assumed to be on-site and create a corresponding parking demand at a worst case 1:1 ratio: 3 Amtrak, 2 Metrolink, 2 OCTA, 1 Anaheim Resort Transit, 1 private transit service provider, 1 Airport FlyAway, 3 Taxi Drivers (staging), 1 Security Officer, 2 Terminal Operations, and 19 retail employees for a total parking space demand of 34. Based on direction from the City eight police staff parking spaces have been added to the demand calculation. These spaces will be located near the existing train station building, which is expected to be converted to a police substation. These spaces bring the total staffing demand to 42 spaces, which is presented in Table 1. Peer Review and Technical Analysis of ARTIC Parking Demand Analysis prepared by Parsons Brinckerhoff, R. Willson, 4/17/12, Page PR-1 T e c h n i c a l M e m o r a n d u m To: Jamie Lai, Transit Manager City of Anaheim From: Richard Willson, Transportation Consultant Subject: Peer Review and Technical Analysis of ARTIC Parking Demand Analysis prepared by Parsons Brinckerhoff Date: April 17, 2012 Summary This memo provides a peer review of the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC) Parking Demand Analysis prepared by Parsons Brinckerhoff (PB Analysis), dated February 3, 2012. The peer review examines a spreadsheet analysis of ARTIC parking demand that concludes that opening day parking demand will be 849 spaces.1 This memo also considers parking demand associated with ARTIC retail uses. The PB Analysis and this peer review provide a basis for a determining that ARTIC parking is adequate under the City of Anaheim code provision, "If a parking demand study is required by Table 42-A (Non-Residential Parking Requirements) due to the unique nature of the use, the parking requirements shall be determined by the Planning Services Manager of the Planning Department and/or his or her designee and/or the Planning Commission based on information contained in a parking demand study prepared by an independent traffic engineer.” This memo considers each element of the PB Analysis in the context of best practice in transit station parking analysis, evidence on access modes to transit stations, and the characteristics of the different user groups. It considers factors that might lead to an overestimate or underestimate of parking demand. On the whole, this peer review concludes that these factors roughly balance out and concludes that the PB Analysis ARTIC transit-related parking demand model prediction of 849 spaces is an appropriate basis for design and initial operations.2 This memo also includes a prediction of parking demand from restaurant and retail uses to be included in ARTIC. Including that demand would increase the estimate to 872 spaces, below the expected supply of 1,082 spaces. Therefore, this analysis supports a CUP determination that parking supply will exceed demand. 1 This estimate is for transit patrons and ARTIC employees only, and does not include ARTIC commercial patrons or other uses that might use ARTIC parking, such as Honda Center, Angel Stadium, or private restaurants not part of ARTIC. 2 The details that follow assess factors that are judged realistic and those that could lead to a “possible” or “likely” overestimate or underestimate. The conclusion reached about the PB Analysis parking demand level considers the likelihood of overestimate or underestimate, as well as the magnitude of that parking demand component. Peer Review and Technical Analysis of ARTIC Parking Demand Analysis prepared by Parsons Brinckerhoff, R. Willson, 4/17/12, Page PR-2 The appendices provide information on parking supply at comparable rail stations, information from Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) station access surveys and OCTAM model parameters, , and references. Background and Context The existing Anaheim Stadium Station has an observed peak parking occupancy of between 350 and 400 spaces, which is a true representation of the demand under the existing transit services and parking policies. The premise of ARTIC, of course, is that demand will increase by opening day as the result of transit improvements, the ARTIC facility itself, and Platinum Triangle development. To verify existing parking occupancy, the City of Anaheim Police Department conducted parking occupancy counts during the week of August 15th (Monday) through August 20th (Saturday) 2011. These counts were conducted in the mid-day (between 1:00 and 3:00 PM) and in the evening (between 1:00 and 4:00 AM). Figure PR-1 summarizes the results. Figure PR-1. Anaheim Stadium Station Parking Counts The results confirm a demand of between 350 and 400 spaces during the daytime peak. The highest demand day observed was Saturday, which may reflect weekend trips on Amtrak. Weekday overnight demand is around 100 spaces, with higher levels on Friday and Saturday. These high levels likely stem from overnight weekend trips on Amtrak. Note that the Angels were playing on each of these days, so the daytime parking counts may reflect some impact by early game arrivers seeking to use the Anaheim Stadium station parking. Based on counts, about 30% of peak demand is present overnight. These overnight parkers include those on multiday trips and those leaving cars at the station overnight while they commute to their home destination. The data collection activity included recording the license plate numbers of parked vehicles, so that the different overnight users could be identified. Figure 2 shows an analysis of the overnight parkers using the group of vehicles parked on Monday August 15th and tracking them Peer Review and Technical Analysis of ARTIC Parking Demand Analysis prepared by Parsons Brinckerhoff, R. Willson, 4/17/12, Page PR-3 throughout the week. If the car was parked overnight but not in the lot during the day, that parker is considered a “station car”, meaning that it is likely that a car is being stored at the station in the evening and is being used to travel to a worksite during the day. Those cars that were present in the evening and during the day are considered to be those parked by transit riders on overnight and multi- day trips. Those cars were tracked through Saturday August 20th to determine the number of days parked. Figure PR-2 shows the distribution of overnight parkers. Figure PR-2. Type of Overnight Parkers at the Anaheim Stadium Station The results show that about half of the overnight parking was station cars, with the remainder being multi-day trips. The most common multi-day trip those was one night overnight, with small numbers of two-night, three-night, and five-night parkers. The presence of 20 cars parked for six nights may indicate that some non-ARTIC users are storing vehicles at the parking facility. ARTIC opening day parking demand will be higher than current conditions, of course, because of enhanced Metrolink and Amtrak services, the attraction of the ARTIC facility, and Platinum Triangle development. One simple way of thinking about ARTIC opening day parking demand is to consider that the parking supply plans allows for a more than doubling of the existing demand. This is a substantial increase in parking capacity, and it is occurring in a context in which neighboring stations in Fullerton and Orange plan to increase their parking capacity. Another way of assessing the amount of parking is to examine stations elsewhere that have similarities with ARTIC. Appendix A provides a brief profile of three stations identified in this analysis. The closest comparison found is the Downtown San Jose Diridon Station, which service similar uses (Amtrak, commuter rail, and bus), is located next to a sports facility in an urbanizing area, and is Peer Review and Technical Analysis of ARTIC Parking Demand Analysis prepared by Parsons Brinckerhoff, R. Willson, 4/17/12, Page PR-4 planned for High Speed Rail. That station has 581 parking spaces and reaches 90% parking occupancy. To predict opening day parking demand, the PB Analysis drew on the Cordoba Corporation Needs Assessment Update and Validation Technical Memorandum (2009), and made some adjustments in assumptions and factors. The PB Analysis predicts parking demand based on daily ridership (boardings). These boardings are converted into parking demand by considering the percentage of passengers originating at the station (rather than transferring from another transit mode), estimates of the share of transit users arriving by walk, bicycle, drop-off, or driving, and an estimated automobile occupancy rate (reflecting shared rides, carpooling, and vanpooling). Parking estimates for ARTIC employee parking are provided as well, and are included in the 849 space total. The next part of this technical memo reviews the PB Analysis, step-by-step, and provides comments and information concerning each component. The charts and narratives that follow assess each step in the model and reach conclusions about which model components are realistic and which might lead to an overestimate or underestimate of parking demand. Comments are also provided on how parking demand from restaurants and ancillary commercial uses (not included in the draft PB Analysis) that can be added to the model. Part 1: Review of PB Model Components Regional rail demand The PB Analysis concludes that parking demand associated with Amtrak riders will be 251 spaces. Amtrak use is more likely to be for business and vacation travel than daily commuting. A search for other studies revealed that the access needs of Amtrak riders are less studied than commuter rail station systems. Empirical data on the mode of Amtrak station access was not identified as part of this review. The comments in Table PR-1, therefore, are based on general transportation planning knowledge about passenger rail services such as Amtrak and how they differ from commuter rail. Of course, the approximately 400 space current demand includes all Amtrak riders, so the baseline combined demand is known. The categories in the table generally correspond to columns in Table 1 in the PB Analysis. Peer Review and Technical Analysis of ARTIC Parking Demand Analysis prepared by Parsons Brinckerhoff, R. Willson, 4/17/12, Page PR-5 Table PR-1. Factors in Amtrak Parking Estimate3 Factor Discussion Impact on PB Analysis parking demand estimate Daily boardings - 575 Weak economic conditions in the last two years mean that service improvements and ridership demand increases embedded in the original forecast may be slower in coming. Possible overestimate % originating passengers – 75% The PB Analysis revised upward to 75% the percentage of originating passengers (from 50% in the 2009 Cordoba Technical Memorandum). This is an appropriate adjustment since a 50% share of Amtrak riders arriving by transit on opening day is an aggressive assumption. Amtrak riders are less likely to take transit to the station than Metrolink commuters because of luggage, trips with family members, and irregular use. Even so, achieving a 25% transit share to ARTIC for these trips will require very strong linking transit services. Possible underestimate Walk/bike share – 0% The PB Analysis assumes no walk or bicycle access. This is appropriate because Amtrak riders are more likely to have luggage and be coming from a larger draw area (Metrolink stops are more closely spaced than Amtrak stops). Some daily commuters will use Amtrak because the of Rail to Rail shared pass, and therefore bicycle to ARTIC, but the number is small; bicycle commuters are accounted for in the PB Metrolink analysis. Realistic Drop off share – 22.5% The PB Analysis 22.5% drop-off rate is consistent with the type of trips taken on Amtrak. Longer duration trips associated with Amtrak are more likely to be dropped off than daily commuter trips. Note that some drop-off riders might involve short term parking, but since this use has a high turnover, the impact on total demand is minor. Realistic Auto occupancy rate of 1.2 implies a shared ride rate of 10% – 18% The 1.2 persons per vehicle rate implies shared ride level of about 34% among non-drop off auto arrivals (if shared rides have two persons per car), or 22% (if shared rides have 2.5 persons per car). Expressed as a percentage of total riders, this implies a shared ride rate of between 10% and 18% of all rail Amtrak boarders. Amtrak riders are more likely to have higher vehicle occupancies because of families taking trips and sharing a ride to the station (as opposed to daily Metrolink commuters). Realistic Multi-day trips (not included in PB model) The PB Analysis does not account for the impact of multi-day trips on effective parking capacity. Because the model is based on daily ridership, the effect of a three-day trip is to occupy a parking space in days one through three of the trip, thereby using a space that would otherwise be used by daily commuters on day two and three. If one in three Amtrak vehicles is parked for three days, it would increase effective parking demand by 66%. (or 33% if the average trip duration is two days). The results of parking occupancy studies conducted August 15 – 20, 2011 show that most overnight trips are 24 hour trips. The number of six- day trips may reflect car storage by those not using transit. Possible underestimate Conclusion: forecast is supported. There is a possibility of overestimate (ridership) and a possibility of underestimate (% of originating passengers and multi-day trips) in the PB Analysis, but it is likely that the factors balance out. Parking management (pricing for multi-day trips) can manage multi-day demand and encourage drop off. 3 The PB Analysis converts total boardings to originating trips by applying a reduction to account for passengers transferring from other modes of transit (i.e., their trip does not originate at the station). As a result, the mode share percentages provided in Table 1 of the PB analysis are percentage of the originating trips, not total boardings. For this memo, these rates are converted to a percentage of total boardings so they can more easily be compared to existing studies. For example, the drop-off rate for Regional Rail in Table 1 of the PB Analysis is shown as 30%, but this is 30% of the originating trips. To determine what percentage this is of total boardings, that rate is multiplied by the % boarding (reflecting originating trips) rate shown on the table (e.g., 0.3 * 0.75 = 22.5%). This is done for all calculations in this memo. Peer Review and Technical Analysis of ARTIC Parking Demand Analysis prepared by Parsons Brinckerhoff, R. Willson, 4/17/12, Page PR-6 Commuter Rail The PB Analysis concludes that Metrolink demand will be 467 spaces. The PB Analysis recognizes that service enhancements for Metrolink will increase demand over existing conditions. It should be also recognized that commuter parking capacity will increase at neighboring stations in Fullerton and Orange, which means that commuters will have more choices about the stations they use to park. Of course, the increased parking capacity and train service will attract more riders to all the stations. Table PR-2 (next page) reviews the model components. Peer Review and Technical Analysis of ARTIC Parking Demand Analysis prepared by Parsons Brinckerhoff, R. Willson, 4/17/12, Page PR-7 Table PR-2. Factors in Commuter Rail Parking Estimate Factor Discussion Impact on PB Analysis Parking Demand Estimate Daily boardings – 1,600 The 1,600 ridership level may be considered as the high end of possible demand, since weakness in the economy is affecting ridership and the pace of Metrolink service enhancements. This 1,600 ridership level is greater than the current Metrolink level of boardings. The Metrolink Service Expansion Program (MSEP) has been implemented more slowly than expected because of economic conditions. As the regional economy improves, both sales tax resources and transit demand are likely to lead to increased Metrolink service. The use of 1,600 daily boardings by opening day is likely to have led to an overestimate of parking demand. Overestimate % originating passengers – 50% The 50% originating level is carried forward from the 2009 Cordoba Technical Memorandum. It is an aggressive assumption that was made because of ARTIC’s goals for multi-modal access, with improved transit, shuttle, and non-automobile access. Appendix B shows that transit access share for Anaheim Station has been 11% (averaging 2001, 2006 and 2010 surveys). Appendix C shows a 23% transit access level from selected Caltrain and BART stations. Build-out of close-by high density housing and Anaheim transit connectors may bring about the 50% level about in the longer-term future, but this is an aggressive level for opening day conditions. Underestimate Walk – 2.5%/bike - 2.5% The PB Analysis combined 5% walk and bicycle access share is less than the combined walk/bike level (9%) found in OCTA Anaheim Station surveys (see Appendix B); ARTIC will be next to a bicycle trail. Because the walk and bicycle share may have been underestimated, this would lead to a possible overestimate of parking demand. Possible overestimate Drop off – 10% The PB Analysis uses a 10% drop off share. This is consistent with drop off shares displayed in Appendix B. Realistic Auto occupancy rate of 1.2 – implies a shared ride rate of 8% - 12% The 1.2 persons per vehicle rate implies shared ride level of about 34% of non-drop off auto arrivals (if shared rides have two persons per car), or 22% (if shared rides have 2.5 persons per car). Expressed as a percentage of total riders, this implies a shared ride rate of between 8% and 12% of all rail Metrolink boarders. This is higher than the existing level of 2% (see Appendix B) and between 5% and 9% at comparison stations (Appendix C). The PB Analysis statement that a 1.2 persons-per-vehicle rate can be affected by bicycle and pedestrian connectivity and effective shuttles is not supportable, since those are already accounted for in originating passenger and mode share calculations. However, the City can use incentives and disincentives to increase carpooling to the station: reserved carpool/vanpool spaces, not oversupplying overall parking, and mentions differential pricing. In addition to these factors, employer-sponsored vanpools can increase the persons per vehicle rate. These vanpools can both deliver train riders from their homes or reduce the need for overnight station cars by delivering train commuters to worksites. Achieving the 1.2 rate will require a concerted effort by a Transportation Management Organization or similar entity. Possible underestimate Overnight parking The PB Analysis does not explicitly account for the impact of vehicles left overnight and used during the day (often termed “station cars”). These vehicles do not conflict with daytime parking demand unless they interfere with parking capacity for early morning daily commuters and again in the afternoon when the station cars return (i.e., the station car is not retrieved from the space in the morning by the time an outbound commuter arrives and seeks the space). Differential parking pricing can be used to manage station cars. Results of parking occupancy studies conducted August 15 – 20, 2011 suggest that 52 station cars were parked, 14.6% of the peak daytime demand. Possible underestimate Turnover in spaces Generally, commuter spaces are used by one commuter per day. The PB Analysis assumes that there is no space turnover. It is possible that there will be some turnover in spaces as Metrolink introduces midday service that serves non-work trips. Possible overestimate Peer Review and Technical Analysis of ARTIC Parking Demand Analysis prepared by Parsons Brinckerhoff, R. Willson, 4/17/12, Page PR-8 Conclusion: forecast is supported and consistent with previous forecasts. Overestimation factors (ridership, walk/bike share, and turnover) are likely to be balanced by underestimation factors (originating passengers share, vehicle occupancy, and overnight parking impact). Parking management and pricing can manage overnight demand and encourage drop off, carpool/vanpool, and transit access. Local/regional bus The PB Analysis concludes that zero percent of local and regional bus service will be trips originating at ARTIC, and therefore forecasts a parking demand of zero for this transit use. This is supportable because bus riders will seek a bus stop closest to their destination, possible since bus service has more frequent stops than rail. Bus riders are unlikely to drive to ARTIC and park to take the bus, especially because they can avoid the anticipated ARTIC parking charges by accessing the bus at a stop closer to their trip origin where parking is likely to be free. Best practice in rail station parking assigns parking to rail users who come from a larger catchment area. Conclusion: forecast is supported. Anaheim Transit Projects The PB Analysis concludes that Anaheim Resort Transit, OCTA Go Local, circulator/fixed guideway, and employer shuttles will generate zero originating passengers. That is because these services are intended to link an ARTIC arrival (on rail) to local destinations or to bring nearby residents or workers to ARTIC. Users of Anaheim transit project are unlikely to drive to ARTIC and park to take one of these services. Best practice in rail station parking only assigns parking to rail users who come from a larger catchment area. Conclusion: forecast is supported as long as ARTIC parking is not proposed as off-site parking by commuting employees at nearby major activities centers. Parking management and access controls measures can ensure that this does not occur. Private Carriers and Airport Shuttles The PB Analysis concludes that 31 spaces of parking demand will be associated with 600 daily private bus trips for intercity and international buses, and that 58 spaces of parking demand will be associated with 550 airport daily shuttles providing access to regional airports. They assume a 25% originating passenger level and a high level of drop-off for buses and 50% for airport shuttles. This is consistent with the profile of intercity bus riders, which is likely to have a more transit-dependent characteristic. There is no empirical data to support these factors, but the PB Analysis assumptions are supportable and prudent in accommodating a level of parking for this use. Table PR-3 (next page) reviews the elements of the demand. Peer Review and Technical Analysis of ARTIC Parking Demand Analysis prepared by Parsons Brinckerhoff, R. Willson, 4/17/12, Page PR-9 Table PR-3. Factors in Private Carriers and Airport Shuttles Parking Estimate Factor Discussion Impact on PB Analysis parking demand estimate Daily boardings – 600 (private carrier) and 550 (airport shuttle) These demand levels depend on the service plans of these entities. These levels represent a fully developed service program. Possible overestimate % originating passengers – 25% (private carrier) and 50% (airport shuttle) These lower originating passenger levels are appropriate given the more transit dependent nature of intercity bus riders. Realistic Walk/bike share – 0% The PB Analysis assumes no walk or bicycle access, because these riders are more likely to have luggage and be coming from a larger draw area. While this is reasonable, any walk or bicycle access would mean that parking demand is possibly overestimated. Possible overestimate Drop off - 18.75% (private carrier) and 37.5% (airport shuttle) PB uses a 22.5% drop off ratio for originating automobile access trips. Longer duration trips associated with private carriers and flyaway are more likely to be dropped off than daily commuter trips. Realistic Auto occupancy rate – 1.2 implies a shared ride rate of 3% - 8% The PB analysis uses a 1.2 persons per vehicle rate, which implies shared ride level of about 34% of non-drop off auto arrivals (if shared rides have two persons per car), or 22% (if shared rides have 2.5 persons per car). Expressed as a percentage of total riders, this implies a shared ride rate of between 3 and 8% of all rail private carrier and flyaway boarders. These riders are more likely to have higher vehicle occupancies because of families taking trips and sharing a ride to the station (as opposed to daily Metrolink commuters). Realistic Multi-day trips (not included in PB Analysis) The PB Analysis does not account for the impact of multi-day trips on effective parking capacity. Because the model is based on daily ridership, the effect of a three-day trip is to occupy and parking space in days one through three of the trip, thereby using a space that would otherwise be used by daily commuters on day two and three. If one in three private carrier/airport vehicles is parked for three days, it would increase effective parking demand is increased by 66%. (or 33% if the average trip duration is two days). Flyaway shuttles are likely to be multi-day parking. Underestimate Conclusion: forecast is supported. In the long-term, this use might be considered on an “as space available” basis. Employees The PB Analysis estimates the total number of employees by different users of ARTIC to arrive at a 42 space demand. It is unlikely, however, that all employees will all be on-site at the peak occupancy period (due to work shifts, absences, etc.), and it is unlikely that they will all drive alone to ARTIC (service workers usually have a higher level of drop-off and alternative mode use than the general population). These two factors suggest that the 42 spaces demand may be overstated. Conclusion: forecast may be overstated. Peer Review and Technical Analysis of ARTIC Parking Demand Analysis prepared by Parsons Brinckerhoff, R. Willson, 4/17/12, Page PR-10 Parking for ancillary uses and restaurants within ARTIC The PB Analysis assumed that the retail and restaurant uses are “incidental and accessory to the principle transit use”, meaning that patrons of those uses are already accounted for in the variety of access modes, including ARTIC parking. This is a reasonable position because the main purpose of those uses is to support patrons of the ARTIC facility. Having said that, however, it is possible that some non-transit riders will come to the site as a destination, especially some of the restaurant uses. This section provides an analysis of that parking demand. The scenario examined here is that there will be 12,075 square feet of retail uses on the site, comprised of 9,400 square feet of restaurant and 2,675 square feet of retail. Using Los Angeles Union Station as an example, restaurants in that facility include sit-down dining, a bar, and fast food facilities such as Subway, Starbucks, etc. Virtually all of the fast food customers are transit riders, but some of the sit- down restaurant and bar patrons come for that use as a destination. This scenario assumes a 50/50 breakdown between sit-down restaurant and fast food, and that the gross leasable area (GLA) is 90% of gross floor area. ARTIC plans also assume 960 square feet of future retail kiosks. No parking demand is calculated for retail kiosks since their demand will be exclusively walk-by captive trips whose parking demand is already accounted for in the transit parking demand calculations. The City of Anaheim’s code requirement for restaurants is 15 spaces per 1,000 square feet, with 8.0 spaces per 1,000 square feet in mixed use complexes. Convenience retail requires 5.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet. Because this is a parking demand analysis, rather than a code analysis, this section estimates a unique parking demand level for ARTIC restaurant and commercial uses based on the methodology in the Urban Land Institute Shared Parking model (Second Edition) and the author’s experience with mode shares in train station facilities. A key factor in this calculation is the time at which parking demand peaks in the overall ARTIC facility, which is expected to be mid-afternoon. That demand level that should form the basis of any added parking requirements for ARTIC, since nighttime demand can be accommodated in a shared parking arrangement in vacated commuter spots. Table PR-4 provides a step-by-step adjustment to the base parking demand rates provided in the ULI model. Those base rates are adjusted downward to account for use of alternative modes to access ARTIC (e.g., patrons who walk or take a local shuttle to ARTIC rather than drive), trips already accounted for because the patrons are transit riders (termed “non-captive” by ULI, meaning the share that are not “captive” as the result of arriving to use transit), and the demand that will be exhibited in the 2 PM peak occupancy of the facility (termed “peak hour adjustment” by ULI). The base rates are multiplied by these factors to produce a net rate of parking demand. These rates are significantly lower than the base rates and the City’s parking requirement. Peer Review and Technical Analysis of ARTIC Parking Demand Analysis prepared by Parsons Brinckerhoff, R. Willson, 4/17/12, Page PR-11 Table PR-4.

This is significantly less than that would be required under the standard and mixed-use code requirement. Since the PB Analysis already includes 19 retail employee parking spaces, the net increase to the 849 space original estimate is 23 additional peak hour patron spaces for the retail, bringing the total peak ARTIC demand to 872 spaces. 4 The 0.75 mode adjustment means that 25% of those arriving would use a mode other than driving alone. This includes shared rides to the site and a small number of those walking or biking from nearby workplaces. This estimate is based results from on Travel Behavior Impacts of Transit-Oriented Development in California (2004), adjusted by the author for the Anaheim context. 5 The captive adjustment ratios vary according to the likelihood that the patron is already on the site for transit purposes. These estimates draw on studies of transit-oriented developments in California, including Travel Behavior Impacts of Transit-Oriented Development in California (2004). Peer Review and Technical Analysis of ARTIC Parking Demand Analysis prepared by Parsons Brinckerhoff, R. Willson, 4/17/12, Page PR-12 Appendix A – Parking Supply at Comparable Rail Stations The following describes three stations that have similarities to the concept espoused in ARTIC – rail stations that have higher levels of rail service than normal commuter rail locations, are in urbanizing locations, and are near major sports facilities. San Jose Diridon Station in downtown San Jose has 581 parking spaces. The parking occupancy is 90%, with a daily parking fee of $3. The station has an access mode share of 24% transit, 5% bicycle, and 15% walk. These mode splits may become possible for ARTIC as the Platinum Triangle builds out; the transit share could be higher if Anaheim’s local ARTIC connectivity projects are fully implemented. This station is in the core of San Jose and is within walking distance of HP Pavilion sport facility. It serves Caltrain and ACE (Altamont Commuter Express) commuter rail, VTA light rail, Amtrak, and may serve a BART extension in the future. It is also planned as a future station for the California high speed rail project. Los Angeles Union Station, the hub of the Southern California rail system, has approximately 3,000 spaces, privately operated. The parking fee is $6 per day, with a $70 per month pass ($60 per month pass available to Metrolink riders). Union Station has the highest level of California Amtrak boardings, the highest level of Metrolink boardings in Southern California, and is a major bus hub. It represents a higher level of transit activity than will be achieved at ARTIC. Nonetheless, it is a useful example because it contains the wide variety of transit services, has the type of restaurant and commercial uses anticipated for ARTIC, and has a distinctive architecture that means that it is draw in itself. Coliseum/Airport (978 surface spaces) is on the Fremont line. The parking facility fills by about 8:30 AM. The station has a 2008 access mode share of 19% transit, <1% bicycle, and 12% walk. Daily parking is free, but monthly reserved parking is available for $42 per month. This station is next to the McAfee Coliseum (home of the Oakland A’s baseball team and the Oakland Raiders football team). It has dedicated shuttle service to Oakland Airport, but does not offer long- term airport parking (the time limit is 24 hours). BART has a greater service frequency than Metrolink/Amtrak but this station provides a view of the long-term situation that could emerge with great transit supply and land use intensity. Peer Review and Technical Analysis of ARTIC Parking Demand Analysis prepared by Parsons Brinckerhoff, R. Willson, 4/17/12, Page PR-13 Appendix B – Station Access Modes from OCTA Station Access Surveys, OCTAM Model Parameters, Comparable Stations Surveys of Metrolink riders were conducted in 2001, 2006, and 2010 (OCTA). The following shows the results for the Anaheim Station. The results vary significantly, likely due to the relatively small sample size (e.g., the 2010 survey produced 125 Anaheim Station responses). The three surveys are averaged in the table below to produce a larger sample. Parking conditions did not change significantly in that ten year period, so averaging these results is a reasonable approach. Year of Survey Drive alone Drop-off Carpool Transit Bicycle Walk 2001 46% 10% 0% 25% 1% 18% 2006 89% 3% 4% 4% 1% 0% 2010 75% 10% 2% 3% 1% 8% Average all years 70% 8% 2% 11% 1% 9% The results show that the existing Anaheim station’s primary station access mode is driving alone and parking. This is not surprising given the land use context, plentiful free parking, and limited transit and alternative access facilities. ARTIC is part of a comprehensive strategy to reduce automobile dependency in the Platinum Triangle, which means that current conditions do not necessarily predict future station access modes. These data, however, provide a starting point for understanding the changes that will be brought about by ARTIC, local access improvements, and more local population. OCTA has provided the Anaheim Station/ARTIC station access mode shares used in their model for 2005 and 2035. The following summarizes the data in the model. Note that all vehicle access (park- and-ride, carpool/vanpool-and-ride, and kiss-and-ride) are combined in the automobile access category. The automobile access share maps closely the survey data shown above, while the 2035 mode shares reflect the impact of Platinum Triangle build-out and local transit access improvements. Access mode 2005 2035 Automobile 78% 55% Walk 1% 8% Bus 21% 37% While each rail station has unique qualities, it is instructive to examine access mode splits at station that have similarities with the vision expressed for ARTIC. The table that follows provides information from mode access surveys at two stations on the Caltrain line (San Jose to San Francisco commuter rail service) and two stations on the BART line (Bay Area heavy rail transit service).

Caltrain is included because it provides commuter rail service with multi-directional and off-peak service as is contemplated for the Metrolink service expansion in Orange County. Caltrain stations have a high level of land use and transportation integration. BART is included despite the fact that it is heavy rail service (rather than commuter rail) because Metrolink service expansion provides service levels that approach some BART stations, and because transit/land use integration is more mature in these stations.

PC2012-*** A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVING, IN PART, AN AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2010- 05486 AND AMENDING CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NO. PC 2010-057 AND DETERMINING THAT A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION IS THE APPRPRIATE ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION FOR THIS REQUEST (DEV2009-00083) (2232 SOUTH HARBOR BOULEVARD) WHEREAS, on July 19, 2010, the Anaheim City Planning Commission (hereinafter referred to as ("Planning Commission"), by its Resolution No. PC2010-057, did approve Conditional Use Permit 2010-05486 to permit the conversion of two adjoined vacant commercial buildings located on a legal non-conforming 4.8-acre site into the “Battle of the Dance” dinner theater including enhanced landscaping and wall murals pursuant to Section 18.60.180 of the Anaheim Municipal Code located at 2232 South Harbor Boulevard, City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, as more particularly shown on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference; and WHEREAS, this property is currently developed with a 43,500 square foot building, located in the SP92-2 Anaheim Resort Specific Plan Zone and the Anaheim General Plan designates this property for Commercial Recreation land uses; and WHEREAS, on April 23, 2012, the Planning Commission did receive a verified Petition to amend Conditional Use Permit No. 2010-05486 (designated as "Conditional Use Permit No. 2010-05503B") to allow additional entertainment and community assembly uses in conjunction with a previously approved dinner theatre, with or without the sale of alcoholic beverages for on premises consumption, including: concerts; public dances; private parties, meetings and banquets; religious assembly; and, sporting and convention events; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in the City of Anaheim on April 23, 2012 at 5:00 p.m., notice of said public hearing having been duly given as required by law and in accordance with the provisions of the Anaheim Municipal Code, Chapter 18.60, to hear and consider evidence for and against said proposed amendment to conditional use permit and to investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; 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 pertaining to the request for an amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 2010-05486, does find and determine the following facts: 1. The request to amend this conditional use permit to allow additional entertainment and community assembly uses in conjunction with a previously-approved dinner theatre, with or without the sale of alcoholic beverages for on premises consumption, including: - 2 - PC2012-*** concerts; public dances; private parties, meetings and banquets; religious assembly; and, sporting and convention events is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized under Municipal Code Section 18.116.070 of the Zoning Code. 2. With exception of the requested public dance and concert uses, the request to amend this conditional use permit to allow additional entertainment and community assembly uses, with or without the sale of alcoholic beverages for on premises consumption, would not adversely affect the surrounding land uses and the growth and development of the area because the property is currently developed with an approximately 43,500 square-foot, 950-seat live performance theatre and the proposed uses are compatible with the surrounding area. 3. The size and shape of the site is adequate to allow the full operation of the proposed uses, with exception of the public dances and concert uses, in a manner not detrimental to the particular area or to the health, safety and general welfare of the public. 4. The traffic generated by allowing additional uses at the site would not impose an undue burden upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area because the number of vehicles entering and exiting the site is consistent with traffic impacts associated with the originally-permitted dinner theatre. 5. The granting, in part, of the amended conditional use permit under the conditions imposed will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim and will provide a land use that is compatible with the surrounding area. WHEREAS, the Planning Commission does further find and determine, with respect to the requested public dance (dance venue), launch party and concert uses, that all of the conditions and criteria for approving an amendment to this conditional use permit are not present for the following reasons: 1. The business owner has allowed public dances to operate at this location in violation of the Anaheim Municipal Code for approximately seven months. During that time, the City has received numerous complaints from adjacent residents regarding noise emanating from the building and disturbing the adjacent residential neighborhood. Complaints have also been received regarding excessive noise caused by patrons leaving the venue, such as noise from car stereos, alarms and horns. These conditions have been witnessed by City staff visiting the venue while public dances are being held. 2. There have been 26 calls for police service to this location within the past seven months and most of these calls have been attributed to noise and disturbance complaints resulting from the public dance operation and a concert which took place on September 11, 2011. In addition, Police and Planning Department staff members have personally witnessed disorderly conduct committed by patrons leaving the premises including a person urinating in public, an overly-intoxicated patron, and littering on adjacent properties. 3. On April 12, 2012, Police Department staff members visited an advertised public dance event and witnessed entertainment being provided by “go-go” dancers that is prohibited by Chapter 18.54 (Sex-Oriented Businesses) of the Anaheim Municipal Code. - 3 - PC2012-*** 4. Based upon the observations noted above, the Planning Commission hereby determines that public dances (dance venue), launch parties and concerts cannot be hosted at this location without detriment to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim and such uses are not compatible with the surrounding area. WHEREAS, the proposed project will not create any additional environmental impacts beyond those analyzed and addressed by the previously approved Mitigated Negative Declaration and associated Mitigation Monitoring Program No. 158, and is therefore, exempt from the requirement to prepare additional environmental documentation. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission, for the reasons hereinabove stated does hereby approve the amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 2010-05486 (CUP2010-05486B), in part, to permit additional entertainment and community assembly uses in conjunction with a previously approved dinner theatre, with or without the sale of alcoholic beverages for on premises consumption, including: private parties, meetings and banquets; religious services; and, sporting and convention events; and does hereby deny the request to allow public dances (dance venue), launch parties and music concerts. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does hereby amend, in their entirety, the conditions of approval adopted in connection with Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2010-057, approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2010-05486, as previously amended, to read as stated in Exhibit “B” attached hereto and incorporated by this reference which are hereby found to be a necessary prerequisite to the proposed use of the subject property in order to preserve the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Anaheim. Extensions for further time to complete conditions of approval may be granted in accordance with Section 18.60.170 of the Anaheim Municipal Code. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that, except as expressly amended herein, Resolution No. PC2010-057, approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2010-05486, shall remain if full force and effect. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this permit is approved without limitations on the duration of the use. Amendments, modifications and revocations of this permit may be processed in accordance with Chapters 18.60.190 (Amendment to Permit Approval) and 18.60.200 (City-Initiated Revocation or Modification of Permits) of the Anaheim Municipal Code. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED 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 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the applicant is responsible for paying all charges related to the processing of this discretionary case application within 15 days of the issuance of the final invoice. Failure to pay all charges shall result in the revocation of the approval of this application. - 4 - PC2012-*** THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION was adopted at the Planning Commission meeting of April 23, 2012. Said resolution is subject to the appeal provisions set forth in Chapter 18.60 “Zoning Provisions - General” of the Anaheim Municipal Code pertaining to appeal procedures and may be replaced by a City Council Resolution in the event of an appeal.

This traffic analysis supplements the Battle of the Dance Traffic Impact Analysis prepared by Kunzman Associates, Inc. (May 13, 2010). The purpose of this supplemental traffic analysis is to address the proposed additional uses proposed for the project site. This report summarizes our methodology, analysis, and findings. Although this is a technical report, every effort has been made to write the report clearly and concisely. To assist the reader with those terms unique to transportation engineering, a glossary of terms is provided within Appendix A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Battle of the Dance project is proposed to be located in The Anaheim Resort on the east side of Harbor Boulevard between Wilken Way and Chapman Avenue in the City of Anaheim. The approximately 5 acre project site is proposed to consist of a 950 seat dinner theater. The project site provides a total of 352 on‐site parking spaces (with 84 of the parking spaces designed for tandem parking). Based upon a reciprocal parking agreement, the Battle of the Dance project can use the 31 parking spaces (including the 2 handicap parking spaces) at the adjacent Jack in the Box restaurant. The additional uses proposed for the project site are described in a letter included within Appendix B. PARKING CODE The City of Anaheim Parking Code requirements are included in Appendix C. The additional uses proposed for the project site shall meet the City of Anaheim Parking Code requirements. In addition, the additional uses proposed for the project site shall adhere to the Parking Management Plan previously submitted within the Battle of the Dance Traffic Impact Analysis prepared by Kunzman Associates, Inc. (May 13, 2010). ATTACHMENT NO. 8 Mr. Jonathan Borrego, Principal Planner CITY OF ANAHEIM March 7, 2012 www.traffic-engineer.com 2 Any additional use proposed for the project site should include a Parking Management Plan provision that recommends vehicles be directed towards parking spaces closest to Harbor Boulevard when possible. This recommendation shall be enforced during hours of operation after 10 PM. TRIP GENERATION ANALYSIS The traffic generated by the project is determined by multiplying an appropriate trip generation rate by the quantity of land use. Trip generation rates are predicated on the assumption that energy costs, the availability of roadway capacity, the availability of vehicles to drive, and our life styles remain similar to what we know today. A major change in these variables may affect trip generation rates. Trip generation rates can be determined for daily traffic and morning peak hour inbound and outbound traffic, and evening peak hour inbound and outbound traffic from the Institute of Transportation Engineers, Trip Generation, 8th Edition, 2008. Typically, the morning and evening peak periods are from 7:00 AM – 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM. The additional uses proposed for the project site are not expected to occur during the morning peak period, except for the television or film productions in either the bar area and dance floor (item 7 in Appendix B). This use is recommended to start at 9:00 AM. The remainder of the additional uses proposed for the project site would not coincide with the Battle of the Dance PM peak period analyzed within the Battle of the Dance Traffic Impact Analysis prepared by Kunzman Associates, Inc. (May 13, 2010). CONCLUSIONS The additional uses proposed for the project site shall not overlap with the existing Battle of the Dance operation. Sufficient on‐site parking shall be provided by the additional uses proposed for the project site to meet the City of Anaheim Parking Code requirements. In addition, the additional uses proposed for the project site shall adhere to the Parking Management Plan previously submitted within the Battle of the Dance Traffic Impact Analysis prepared by Kunzman Associates, Inc. (May 13, 2010). The additional uses proposed for the project site are not expected to occur during the morning peak period, except for the television or film productions in either the bar area and dance floor (item 7 in Appendix B). This use is recommended to start at 9:00 AM. The remainder of the additional uses proposed for the project site would not coincide with the Battle of the Dance PM peak period analyzed within the Battle of the Dance Traffic Impact Analysis prepared by Kunzman Associates, Inc. (May 13, 2010). Any additional use proposed for the project site should include a Parking Management Plan provision that recommends vehicles be directed towards parking spaces closest to Harbor Boulevard when possible. This recommendation shall be enforced during hours of operation after 10 PM.

APPENDIX B BATTLE OF THE DANCE ADDITIONAL USE DESCRIPTION March 7, 2012 Jonathan E. Borrego, AICP Principal Planner City of Anaheim Planning Department 200 S. Anaheim Blvd., Suite 162 Anaheim, CA 92805 RE: BATTLE OF THE DANCE DINNER THEATER ADDITIONAL USES Dear Mr. Borrego: There would be no change in the current theater operations of Battle of the Dance [BoD], hours and operations as per CUP with only limited additional uses in the theater portion per the requests below. The principal operations will continue to be a dinner theater. Management’s long term goal has been to generate an Anaheim dinner theater attraction that will be most similar to one of the many successful comparable attractions near Disneyworld in Orlando, Florida. With the right combination of exposure, of a show with broad appeal to a family oriented audience, and with an improving economy, we remain confident that we will succeed. To this end, most all additional uses will not conflict or add to facility trip visits during the current approved hours of operation. The intent of the request is to allow for additional uses not part of the original CUP that better utilize the facilities and are also consistent with the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan. In this regard, hosted events, special events, religious services, competitions and comparable uses would be in ‘off hours’ when Battle of the Dance would otherwise be not performing. The presentBoD winter Schedule is limited to 4 days per week, Thursday through Sunday, with show hours generally between 6 PM to 9:00 PM. The summer or peak schedule for BoD would be as per the present CUP, with operations 7 days per week with hours up to 11:PM. By adding additional uses, the goals will be to generate more revenue from operations not included in the current BoD show, during off hours, that will promote the BoDshowthrough higher visibility and whichshould be beneficial for the Anaheim Resort area.If BoD can achieve the attendance projections submitted for the original CUP, we foresee cessation of the majority of the additional uses sought for during this time of economic distress. Charity, religious and youth oriented activities would only continue in a manner that promotes civic and community objectives and probably on a limited basis as the facility uses would allow for without undue over usage. 1] SUNDAY CHURCH SERVICES – hours possible 9: AM TO 3: PMSaturday/ Sunday only. (Prior use by the Saddleback Church.We have ongoing efforts to have a comparable religious service a regular ongoing use); No religious services are to coincide with Battle of the Dance or hosted event hours or performances;Maximum customers in theater portion of structure: 990. PAGE TWO 2] Periodic Charity Events (Grandma’s House of Hope; Explorers, Etc.); No charity events are to coincide with Battle of the Dance or hosted event hours or performances; Regular approved hours and days per existing CUP operations; maximum customers in theater portion of structure: 990 3] Hosted events for conventions and expositions: No convention or exposition events are to coincide with Battle of the Dance or hosted event hours; Hours 9: AM to 11: PM 7 Days per the week;Lobby area Maximum customers 730. Theater area Maximum customers 990.(Events expected be only in one of the two areas but in any event would not exceed permitted occupancy of current facilities). 4] Events center for High School proms, 15th birthdays, weddings and other personal events: No comparable ‘events center’ event will coincide with Battle of the Dance or hosted event hours;Hours/Days: Within operating hours and days of current CUP; Maximum customers 730. 5] Hosted events with food service, on-site alcohol sales, may include live music and dancing in existing bar area and dance floor [limited to approximately 50% of building on Harbor frontage]; No hosted events of this nature are to coincide with Battle of the Dance event hours and some hosted events may intentionally be scheduled to follow the show hours to enhance attendance for performances;Days of the week: Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday: Hours 9:PM to 2:AM; Last call for beverages 1:30 AM; Music ends at 1:45 AM. Operations limited to front building not including the theater, and will not commence until theater operations have ended for any dinner show on the date of any hosted event.Maximumcustomers 730. 6] Concerts/Performances in theater: Book marquee quality shows/performers for either single shows or series of shows in main theater with limited menu; No theater concert or performance of this nature are to coincide with Battle of the Dance as they would occupay the same stage and therefore not be practical. Some Concerts/Performances may intentionally be scheduled to follow the show hours to enhance attendance for performances; Hours 6: PM to 12:01 AM. 7] Television or film productions in either the bar area and dance floor [50% of building on Harbor frontage], or when appropriate theater area of the facility. No separate television or film productions are to coincide with Battle of the Dance or hosted event hours or performances;Any amplified music required for the productions will be limited to the 50% of building on Harbor frontage for hours after 11: PM. Food service to be available on limited menu at all times when open. Hours from 8: AM to 2:PM. Lobby area Maximum customers 730.

Non-residential off-street parking requirements for automobiles and other vehicles shall be determined by the type of use (use class) associated with the property. Table 42-A (Non-Residential Parking Requirements) specifies the number of parking spaces for each non-residential use, regardless of the zone district in which the use is located. .0101 For uses not listed, parking requirements may be those determined to be reasonably necessary by the City Traffic and Transportation Manager. The City Traffic and Transportation Manager may require a parking study in order to make this determination. .0102 Except as expressly provided in this section, within a business unit containing more than one (1) use class, the minimum number of parking spaces shall be based on the use class with the highest parking requirement. If a combination of parking ratios applies, the number of required spaces shall be the sum total of the requirements for each type of use established. .0103 For purposes of interpretation of this section, "GFA" shall mean gross floor area of buildings, as measured from exterior wall to exterior wall. .0104 In computing parking requirements, fractional numbers shall be rounded off to the nearest whole number, fractions of one-half (0.5) or more being counted as one (1) full space. .0105 If the GFA upon which the number of parking spaces is based is less than one thousand (1,000) square feet (or other unit of measurement, as designated herein), the minimum number of required spaces shall be prorated in direct proportion to the minimum number of spaces required for each one thousand (1,000) square feet (or other unit of measurement designated herein). Such proration shall also apply in instances where a division of such applicable unit of measurement into the GFA produces a quotient of other than a whole number. .0106 Except as otherwise expressly provided in this chapter, any employee parking space requirements shall be based on the maximum number of employees present at any given time. .0107 Except as otherwise expressly provided in this chapter, all parking spaces shall conform to Standard Detail No. 470 (Minimum Off-Street Parking Dimensions). .0108 If a parking demand study is required by Table 42-A (Non-Residential Parking Requirements) due to the unique nature of the use, the parking requirements shall be determined by the City Traffic and Transportation Manager and/or Planning Commission, based on information contained in a parking demand study prepared by an independent traffic engineer. The study shall be provided by the applicant, at its sole expense, to the City at the time of application for such use. .020 Trucks and Other Vehicles. In addition to the requirements in Table 42-A (Non-Residential Parking Requirements), spaces shall be provided for trucks and other vehicles used in the business, of a number and size adequate to accommodate the maximum number and types of trucks and/or vehicles to be parked on the site at any one time.

Unless conditions to the contrary are expressly imposed upon the granting of any variance pursuant to this section, the granting of the variance shall be deemed contingent upon operation of the proposed use in conformance with the assumptions relating to the operation and intensity of the use, as contained in the parking demand study that formed the basis for approval of the variance. Exceeding, violating, intensifying or otherwise deviating from any of the assumptions as contained in the parking demand study shall be deemed a violation of the express conditions imposed upon the variance, which shall subject the variance to revocation or modification pursuant to the provisions of Section 18.60.200 (City-Initiated Revocation or Modification of Permits). .030 Sex-Oriented Businesses. Any application for a waiver or deviation from the provisions of this chapter relating to off-street parking requirements for any sex-oriented business, as defined in Chapter 18.54 (Sex-Oriented Businesses), shall comply with the following provisions: .0301 The application shall be determined by the City Hearing Officer appointed pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.12.110 (Appointment of Hearing Officer) of Chapter 1.12 (Procedural), following a duly noticed public hearing thereon held in accordance with the same procedure as set forth in subsection .040 of Section 18.54.030 (Statements and Records) of this Code. Such public hearing shall, upon the request of the applicant, be combined with the public hearing required for issuance of the sex-oriented business permit, as required pursuant to said subsection .040 of Section 18.54.030. .0302 The parking variance shall be approved by the Hearing Officer, if it meets the requirements and criteria set forth in subsection .010 above; otherwise, it shall be denied. Notice of such decision shall be provided in the same time and manner as set forth in Chapter 18.54 (Sex-Oriented Businesses) for processing the application for the sex-oriented use. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Anaheim Municipal Code to the contrary, the decision of the Hearing Officer shall be final. .0303 The term of the parking variance shall be coterminous with the term, or any renewal term, of the sex- oriented business permit. The processing of any renewal application for a permit pursuant to Chapter 18.54 (Sex- Oriented Businesses) shall not require the processing of a new parking variance.
