A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION
APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2012-05624 AND
VARIANCE NO. 2012-04902 AND MAKING CERTAIN
FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2012-00085)
(1584 WEST KATELLA AVENUE)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (hereinafter referred to as
the “Planning Commission”) did receive a verified Petition for Conditional Use Permit No. 2012-
05624 and Variance No. 2012-04902 to construct a new coin-operated, self-serve car wash
facility (the “Project”) with a variance from front setback requirements and fewer parking spaces
than required by the Anaheim Municipal Code (herein referred to as the "Code") for certain real
property located at 1584 West Katella Avenue in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State
of California, as more particularly described on Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated
herein by this reference (the “Property”); and
WHEREAS, the Property, consisting of approximately 0.23-acres, is developed with a
vacant office building. The Property is located in the General Commercial (C-G) Zone. The
Anaheim General Plan designates the Property for General Commercial land uses; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in
the City of Anaheim on November 5, 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 Chapter 18.60 of the
Code, to hear and consider evidence for and against said proposed conditional use permit to
investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; and
WHEREAS, as the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public
Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.; herein referred to as “CEQA”), the Planning Commission
finds and determines that the proposed project is within that class of projects which consists of
the construction of a limited number of new, small facilities or structures, which would include a
commercial building not exceeding 2,500 square feet in floor area, and that, therefore, pursuant
to Section 15303 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, the proposed project will not
cause a significant effect on the environment and is, therefore, categorically exempt from the
provisions of CEQA; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, after due inspection, investigation and study
made by itself and in its behalf, and after due consideration of all evidence and reports offered at
said hearing with respect to the request to permit the Project on the Property does find and
determine the following facts:
1. The proposed use is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by
the General Commercial (C-G) zone, subject to the approval of Variance No. 2012-04902 and
the conditions of approval.
- 2 - PC2012-***
2. The proposed use 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 the project has been
designed so as to minimize impacts on adjacent properties; this would include sound attenuating
features contained within the vacuum equipment to minimize noise impacts on the residential
properties to the south.
3. The size and shape of the site 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
because the site can accommodate the parking, traffic flows, and circulation without creating
detrimental effects on adjacent properties.
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 vehicular
circulation is designed to minimize impacts on the surrounding neighborhood because cars will
enter the facility from Katella Avenue and exit through an existing driveway on Bayless Street.
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 because the project has
been designed to minimize impacts on the surrounding neighborhood.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission does further find and determine that the variance
request from setback requirements and fewer parking spaces than required by the Code should be
approved for the following reasons:
(a) SECTION NO. 18.08.060.010 Minimum
landscaped setback
(15 feet required; 10 feet proposed)
(b) SECTION NO. 18.42.040.010 Minimum
number of parking spaces.
(16 spaces required; 7 spaces proposed)
1. That the variance, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not cause fewer off-
street parking spaces to be provided for the proposed use than the number of such spaces
necessary to accommodate all vehicles attributable to such use under the normal and reasonably
foreseeable conditions of operation of such use because it was determined that seven spaces
would be sufficient based on staff’s observations of similar car wash facilities, as well as detailed
operational information provided by the applicant.
2. That the variance, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not increase the demand
and competition for parking spaces upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of the
proposed use because the on-site parking will adequately accommodate the parking demands of
the car wash facility.
- 3 - PC2012-***
3. That the variance, under the conditions imposed, will not increase the demand and
competition for parking spaces upon adjacent private property in the immediate vicinity of the
proposed use because most self serve car wash customers typically park on-site for a short period
of time, dry their vehicles in the wash bays, and leave the facility without drying or vacuuming
their vehicles.
4. That the variance, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not increase traffic
congestion within the off-street parking areas or lots provided for the proposed use because the
project site will provide adequate ingress and egress points to the Property and will be designed
to allow for adequate on-site circulation.
5. That the variance, under the conditions imposed, will not impede vehicular ingress to
or egress from adjacent properties upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of the
proposed use because the project will provide ingress or egress access points that are designed to
allow for adequate on-site circulation.
6. That there are special circumstances applicable to the Property, including size, shape,
location and surroundings, which do not apply to other property under the identical zoning
classification in the vicinity of the proposed Project that result in limited and inefficient use of
the Property if it were developed in conformance with development standards.
7. That, because of these special circumstances, strict application of the Zoning Code
deprives the Property of privileges enjoyed by other property under the identical zoning
classification in the vicinity since the Property has a shallow lot depth as compared to other
commercial properties located on a Major Arterial Highway.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Anaheim City Planning
Commission does hereby approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2012-05624 and Variance No.
2012-04902 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.
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.
- 4 - PC2012-***
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
November 5, 2012. Said Resolution is subject to the appeal provisions set forth in Chapter 18.60
of the Code pertaining to appeal procedures and may be replaced by a City Council Resolution in
the event of an appeal.

BIG A AUTO WASH
LETTER OF OPERATION, CUP2012-05624 1584 W. Katella Ave. Anaheim, CA Big A Auto Wash will be a 5 bay self-service carwash, located at 1584 W. Katella Avenue, Anaheim, CA. The operating hours will be 6:00 A.M. to 10:30 P.M. This will be a state of the art facility, incorporating green technology. We will be utilizing CFL and LED lighting products and are currently researching the use of solar panels. All biodegradable products will be used. All wash equipment will conserve water, using the latest technology with a low gpm usage. In order for the site to function properly it will be necessary for a 10-foot setback across the Katella Ave. frontage. If a 15’ setback along Katella Avenue is required the site will not be deep enough, north to south to accommodate the proper turning radiuses, carwash building depth, drive isles and parking spaces. A 15’ setback along Katella Avenue would create a hardship for the project. In addition, a 10’ setback will line up with the adjacent properties setback of 10’ that we previously developed. We will be installing dense landscaping across the Katella Avenue frontage. This setback area will have extensive landscaping that will consist of large evergreen trees spaced every 20’ with dense hedge/shrubs to screen the parking lot from view of the street. In addition, the new carwash project will be utilizing the existing driveway from the adjacent property for vehicle ingress, therefore a 15’ setback will not line up properly along Katella Avenue. At this type of business parking requirements are very short term. Customers are in custody of their vehicle at all times. There are 7 parking stalls in the rear area. 5 wash bays will accommodate 5 additional parking spaces. Additional parking spaces are available in front of each wash bay for 5 additional spaces. This would be a total of 17 parking spaces. Many customers wash the vehicle and remain parked in the wash bay while drying their vehicle. In fact with the addition of the “Spot Free Rinse” a high percentage of customers drive-off after washing and do not park to dry their vehicle. Additional parking is also available at our adjacent Laundromat parking lot. Both businesses have opposite peak parking demands. The Carwash peak-parking requirement is during the day and the Laundromat peak-parking requirement is in the evening. On weekends, the peak parking requirements are generally offset as well. The Laundromat is busy in the early morning tapering off during the afternoon and then picks up again in the evening hours. This is especially true during the summer months when it is very hot. The typical customer does not like doing laundry during the afternoon heat, due to the fact that Laundromats are cooled by evaporative, (swamp coolers) and the heat is intensified by the dryers in the store. The carwash is not typically busy in the early morning or evening hours, but busy during the afternoon. The peak parking requirements are also offset by seasonal business. The laundry is busiest during the winter. This is when the carwash business is very slow. In the summer when the carwash business is busy, the laundry is slow due to the fact that our customers are washing a significantly less volume of clothes due to the hot weather. This is an industry standard; customers are primarily wearing shorts, t-shirts and sandals and not washing comforters and heavy blankets. In addition, many customers are on summer vacation and their children are not in school, reducing the frequency of their visits and volume of clothes being washed. After nearly 18 years in the self-service carwash business I am confident that there is ample parking at this location. I also believe that the current Anaheim parking code requirement for a carwash business is more applicable to a full-service carwash operation, which requires much more parking than a self-service carwash operation. We will be requesting not to have a loading area at this business. We do not receive any traditional type deliveries at this business including UPS or Fed Ex. Any such deliveries would go to our office. We do not have a full time employee on site to sign for such deliveries. All soap and detergents are
ATTACHMENT NO. 3
delivered to our warehouse in concentrated 5-gallon boxes. These detergents are brought to the carwash with a passenger vehicle as needed. It will be necessary to have a parking stall in the rear area within 30’ of Bayless Street, which is a low traffic, primarily residential street. The site size is constrained for parking. There will not be any vehicle queuing or stacking, this driveway will be used for egress/exit purposes. Vacuum motor noise will be mitigated through the use of “quiet motor” technology and additional dome insulation. Some security and safety measures to be implemented are a building alarm system with cellular back-up monitoring. Real time, off-site security camera surveillance. There will be bright and ample lighting throughout the property. This business will be developed, owned and operated by Adam and Allen Antoyan Jr. We have been in the carwash and Laundromat business for nearly 18 years. We currently own and operate Big A Auto Wash Orange, located at 1044 W. Katella Ave., on the southwest corner of Katella and Batavia in the city of Orange. This is located approximately 1-1/4 miles east of the Honda Center in Anaheim. In fact many of our regular customers are Anaheim residents and business owners. We also own and operate Big A Coin Laundry, adjacent to the proposed project at 1576 W. Katella Ave., Anaheim. This is a 3,100 square foot freestanding Laundromat business we opened in 2000. We have invested in the immediate area by purchasing the property to the rear at 1814 S. Bayless Street and the subject property at 1584 W. Katella Ave.

A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION
DETERMINING THAT CLASS 1 CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION
IS THE APPROPRIATE ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION
DENYING VARIANCE NO. 2012-04899
(DEV2010-00113A)
(2560 EAST LA PALMA AVENUE)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (hereinafter referred to as
the “Planning Commission”) did receive a verified Petition to approve Variance No. 2012-04899
to construct a 6-foot high wrought iron fence and gates exceeding the permitted height within the
required front yard setback of the C-G (General Commercial) zone, as required by the Anaheim
Municipal Code (herein referred to as the "Code"), for that certain real property located at 2560
East La Palma in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, as more
particularly shown in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the
“Property”); and
WHEREAS, the Property, consisting of approximately 1-acre, is developed with a 10,304
square foot church. The Property is located in the C-G (General Commercial) zone. The
Anaheim General Plan designates the Property for General Commercial land uses; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in
the City of Anaheim on November 5, 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 Chapter 18.60 of the
Code, to hear and consider evidence for and against said proposed variance and to investigate
and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission does further find and determine that the request
for a variance to construct a 6-foot high wrought iron fence and gates exceeding the permitted
height within the required front setback should be denied for the following reasons:
SECTION NO. 18.46.110.030 Permitted Fences and Walls.
(3-foot maximum height permitted;
6 feet proposed)
1. That the strict application of the Code does not deprive the subject property of
privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity because the property is not irregular or
unique in shape and other properties in the vicinity do not maintain legally-permitted fences of a
similar height in the required front setback area.
2. That there are no special circumstances applicable to the property pertaining to
topography and location, which do not apply to identical zoned properties in the vicinity.
- 2 - PC2012-***
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does hereby
deny Variance No. 2012-04899.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that any amendment, modification or revocation 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 Code.
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 November 5, 2012. Said Resolution is subject to the appeal provisions set forth in Chapter
18.60 of the Anaheim Municipal Code pertaining to appeal procedures and may be replaced by a
City Council Resolution in the event of an appeal.

JUSTIFICATION FOR VARIANCE
PLANNING DEPARTMENT PLANNING SERVICES DIVISION
-Page 1-
Sections 18.74.060 of the Anaheim Municipal Code requires that before any variance may be
granted by the Planning Commission, the following shall be shown:
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; and
2. That, because of such special circumstances, strict application of the zoning code
deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by other property under identical zoning
classification in the vicinity.
In order to determine if special circumstances exist, and to assist the Planning Commission to
arrive at a decision, please provide a letter of justification to answer each of the following
questions regarding the property for which a variance is sought, as fully and completely as
possible. The letter should list each code section for which a variance is required including a
brief description of the requirement. Justification must be provided for each separate variance
request.
1. Identify any special physical characteristics of the property such as shape, topography,
location or surroundings that cause the requested development to not meet zoning codes.
2. Do other properties in the vicinity have the same type of physical characteristics as
this property? If so, please identify a few of them.
3. Identify any other neighboring properties that have the same type of improvement that
you are requesting.
4. Identify the cause of the special characteristics of the site that limits the ability to
comply with code requirements (e.g. natural slope of the land, placement of other
structures).
The property at 2560 East La Palma, currently zoned for religious assembly uses, (CUP 2010-
05513), abuts one residential lot on the east property line. Visual screening along the east
property line is maintained by the presence of a 6 ft. high cinder block wall and the presence of
mature trees on the adjacent residential property. (see photographs).
The property owner is seeking two variances that would enable it to build a 72” high fence along the
north property line with a manually retractable, hinged gate at the point of entrance (15 ft. from
property line) and at the point of exit (20 ft. from property line). The fence is proposed to be located
four ft. from the front property line. The two variances relate to:
1. Fence height, as listed in section 18.46.110 of the Anaheim Zoning Code, which restricts the
height of fences to 3 ft. in the front setback area.
2. Fence location, as listed in section 18.46.110 of the Anaheim Zoning Code, which prohibits
fencing in the front setback area.
Without these variances, the owner will not be able to enhance the security of the overall property, as
a 3 ft. fence provides little deterrence to acts of vandalism and/or graffiti, nor will it be able to maintain
current number of on-site parking spaces.
CITY OF ANAHEIM JUSTIFICATION FOR A VARIANCE OR CODE WAIVER
Page 2 of 2
1. Identify any special physical characteristics of the property such as shape, topography,
location or surroundings that cause the requested development to not meet zoning codes.
As the site is configured, the number of parking spaces has been maximized. The current
layout of these spaces, however, includes 16 parking spaces which are partially located within
the fence setback area. The provision of a security fence outside the setback area would
result in the elimination of 16 parking spaces, more than 25% of the current number of parking
spaces. The elimination of these spaces would bring the number of spaces below the required
threshold for the facility.
2. Do other properties in the vicinity have the same type of physical characteristics as
this property? If so, please identify a few of them.
Assembly facilities located at 412 Crescent Way (see photo 4) and 1222 N. State College (see
photo 6) have parking spaces that extend into front fence setback areas. Each of these sites
would lose spaces if they were required to meet the setback standard.
3. Identify any other neighboring properties that have the same type of improvement that
you are requesting.
Assembly facilities located at Lincoln and Harbor (see photos 1A and 1B), 630 N. Anaheim
Blvd. (see photo 3), 500 S. Walnut (see photos 3A and 3B), 412 Crescent Way (see photo 4),
827 S. Walnut (see photos 5A and 5B), and 1222 N. State College (see photo 6) have fencing
and gates within the fence setback area. All have fencing closer to the sidewalks than that
which is proposed at this facility. Further, all have fencing that is at heights which are
approximate or greater than that which is proposed at this facility.
4. Identify the cause of the special characteristics of the site that limits the ability to
comply with code requirements (e.g. natural slope of the land, placement of other
structures).
The size and placement of the existing main building structure prevents us from providing a
minimally allowable number of parking spaces, while, at the same time, providing for a
security fence that is situated according to current city setback standards.

A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION
RECOMMENDING THAT THE ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL
CERTIFY FINAL SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT NO. 2008-00340
AND ADOPT FINDINGS AND A STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS,
MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM 85C AND
A WATER SUPPLY ASSESSMENT (MIS2008-00284) FOR
AMENDMENT NO 14 TO THE ANAHEIM RESORT SPECIFIC PLAN PROJECT
(DEV2010-00044)
WHEREAS, the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan area includes 581 gross acres of the
1,078-acre Anaheim Resort, located generally west of Interstate 5, south of Vermont Avenue, east of
Walnut Street and north of Chapman Avenue; and
WHEREAS, in 1989, the City of Anaheim initiated the Commercial Recreation Area
Enhancement Program and Transportation/Land Use Strategy Plan. The goal of the City’s efforts was
to address the need for visual enhancement and infrastructure improvements in the Commercial
Recreation Area. Specifically, the Commercial Recreation Area Enhancement Program’s goal was to
comprehensively address signage, landscaping, and other land use and site development issues. The
Transportation/Land Use Strategy’s goal was to assess existing and future transportation conditions
and recommend improvements commensurate with land use intensification projections over the next
20 years. In 1990, in connection with these studies, the City Council adopted a revised C-R Zoning
Ordinance and established Design Guidelines for the area; and
WHEREAS, The Commercial Recreation Area has been renamed The Anaheim Resort
and encompasses approximately 1,078 acres designated on the Anaheim General Plan Land Use Plan
for Commercial Recreation land uses; and
WHEREAS, in 1993, the Anaheim City Council (“City Council”) approved The
Disneyland Resort Specific Plan and EIR, a proposal for approximately 489.7 acres in The Anaheim
Resort to develop an international multi-day resort including a second theme park, hotel rooms,
internal transportation systems, public parking facilities, administrative offices and ongoing
modification of the existing Disneyland theme park. In 1994, the City Council subsequently approved
the Hotel Circle Specific Plan to provide for the development of up to 969 hotel rooms on
approximately 6.8 acres in the Anaheim Resort; and
WHEREAS, in order to provide a long range comprehensive plan for future
development for the remaining properties in The Anaheim Resort and to further implement the goals of
the above-noted studies, City staff began work in 1991 on the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan and
Master Environmental Impact Report (“MEIR No. 313”); and
WHEREAS, On September 20, 1994, the City Council adopted the Anaheim Resort
Specific Plan to provide a long-range comprehensive plan for future development of approximately
549.5 acres surrounding The Disneyland Resort and Hotel Circle. The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan
includes zoning and development standards, design guidelines, a streetscape program, and a public
facilities plan, intended to maximize the area’s potential, guide future development, and ensure a
-2- PC2012-***
balance between growth and infrastructure. The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan permits the
development of hotel, convention, retail, and other visitor-serving uses as well as the infrastructure
improvements that are needed to support future development; and
WHEREAS, On September 27, 1994, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 5453,
codifying the Zoning and Development Standards for the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan into the
Anaheim Municipal Code and Ordinance No. 5454 rezoning properties into the Anaheim Resort
Specific Plan (SP 92-2) Zone. Conditions of approval were applied to these rezonings.
WHEREAS, Since the adoption of the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan, proposed
modifications to the specific plan have included 13 amendments and 6 adjustments, which have
expanded the total acreage of the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan area to 581.3 acres; and,
WHEREAS, in conjunction with the approval of the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan,
City Council also adopted The Anaheim Resort Identity and Public Realm Landscape Programs. The
Anaheim Resort Identity Program contains specific recommendations for the location and design of
gateways, directional signs, banners, light fixtures, and street furniture for The Anaheim Resort; this
program has been amended once since its approval. The Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape
Program summarizes landscape concepts proposed for the public streets within The Anaheim Resort
and provides a general overview of the different landscape treatments that will help create a unifying
resort identity; this program has been amended four times since its approval; and,
WHEREAS, in support of the adoption of the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan and The
Anaheim Resort Identity and Public Realm Landscape Programs, City Council certified MEIR No.
313. Since being certified in 1994, two validation reports have been prepared (1999 and 2004) to
evaluate the continued relevance and accuracy of MEIR No. 313; and
WHEREAS, in June 2008, City Council approved a contract with BonTerra Consulting
to prepare Supplemental Environmental Impact Report No. 2008-00340 (EIR No. 2008-00340) to
reevaluate all of the environmental changes that had occurred in and around the Anaheim Resort
Specific Plan area since its adoption in 1994. In August 2008, the City Council authorized exclusive
negotiations with Sonnenblick Del Rio Development relating to a development project at the Anaheim
Convention Center. In order to analyze the environmental impacts of this development project, in
October 2008, City Council approved an amendment to the agreement with BonTerra Consulting to
include this development project into the analysis for EIR No. 2008-00340; and,
WHEREAS, the Proposed Project identified as Amendment No. 14 to the Anaheim
Resort Specific Plan, would allow the maximum build-out of the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan to
increase by up to 406,359 square feet of convention center space; 180,000 square feet of commercial
development; 900 hotel rooms; and, 40,000 square feet of hotel meeting/ballroom space. Additionally,
the Proposed Project would amend the following documents that govern and regulate development
within the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan area: Anaheim General Plan, Anaheim Resort Specific Plan,
Title 18 (Zoning) of the Anaheim Municipal Code, Ordinance No. 5454, and The Anaheim Resort
Identity and Public Realm Landscape Programs. These amendments are intended to streamline
development standards, guidelines and requirements to reduce redundancy within and between these
documents; and, update the documents to reflect current conditions within The Anaheim Resort. The
-3- PC2012-***
proposed amendments do not change the types of land uses permitted within the Anaheim Resort
Specific Plan area or significantly modify the associated development standards; and,
WHEREAS, the City is the lead agency for the preparation and consideration of
environmental documents for the Amendment No. 14 to the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan project, as
defined in the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended ("CEQA") and the State of
California Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA
Guidelines"); and
WHEREAS, a Notice of Preparation (“NOP”) for EIR No. 2008-00340 and the
project’s initial study were distributed to the public on February 11, 2009. The public review period for
the initial study ended on March 13, 2009. The City held a public scoping meeting on February 25,
2009 to provide members of the public with an opportunity to learn about the project, ask questions
and provide comments about the scope and content of the information to be addressed in Draft EIR No.
2008-00340; and,
WHEREAS, Draft EIR No. 2008-00340 was made available for a 45-day public review
period from September 14, 2012 through October 29, 2012. The Notice of Availability (“NOA”),
which also included noticing for the Planning Commission public hearing and a tentative date for the
City Council public hearing, was sent to a list of interested persons, agencies and organizations, as well
as property owners in the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan area and within a 300-foot radius of the
Anaheim Resort Specific Plan area. The Notice of Completion (“NOC”) was sent to the State
Clearinghouse in Sacramento for distribution to public agencies. The NOA was posted at the Orange
County Clerk-Recorder’s office on September 14, 2012. Copies of Draft EIR No. 2008-00340 were
made available for public review at the City of Anaheim Planning Department and at the Anaheim
Central Library. Draft EIR No. 2008-00340 was also made available for download via the City’s
website; and,
WHEREAS, in conformance with the requirements of CEQA and the CEQA
Guidelines, the City will prepare, or cause to be prepared prior to the City Council Public Hearing,
tentatively scheduled for December 18, 2012, Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations
and Mitigation Monitoring Program No. 85C relating to EIR No. 2008-00340; and
WHEREAS, in conformance with Sections 15132 and 15362(b) of the CEQA
Guidelines, Final EIR No. 2008-00340 shall consist of Draft EIR No. 2008-00340; comments and
recommendations received on Draft SEIR No. 340 either verbatim or in summary; a list of persons,
organizations and public agencies that submitted comments on Draft EIR No. 2008-00340; and the
responses of the City, as Lead Agency, to significant points raised in the review and consultation
process; and Mitigation Monitoring Program No. 85C; and
WHEREAS, on November 5, 2012, the Anaheim City Planning Commission
(hereinafter referred to as "Planning Commission") did hold a public hearing, 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 EIR No. 2008-
00340 and to investigate and make findings in connection therewith; and
-4- PC2012-***
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the Planning Commission did receive evidence and
reports, including all written and verbal comments received during the 45-day public review period,
concerning the contents and sufficiency of Draft EIR No. 2008-00340; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, based on the information and evidence received

Commission; and
Draft EIR No. 2008-00340 has been processed and completed in compliance with the
requirements of CEQA, and all applicable CEQA Guidelines.
WHEREAS, to the extent authorized by law, the City desires and intends to use EIR
No. 2008-00340 as the environmental documentation required by CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines for
the Amendment No. 14 to the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan Project; and
WHEREAS, the California Legislature enacted Senate Bill 610 (Water Code Section
10910) which mandates that the retail water utility must prepare a Water Supply Assessment (“WSA”)
for any development project that (i) is subject to CEQA and (ii) exceeds 500 residential units, or
equivalent water demand for shopping centers, business establishments, and commercial
developments; and
WHEREAS, the Amendment No. 14 to the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan Project is
subject to CEQA and consists of over 500 residential units, or equivalent water demand for shopping

Note No. 1: The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan provides for the development of an approximate 489.7
acre international multi-day vacation designation resort including ongoing modifications to the
Disneyland theme park, the development of a new theme park, additional hotels and entertainment
areas, administrative office facilities, new public and private parking facilities, and an internal
transportation system. This development is within five planning Districts (Theme Park, Hotel, Parking,
Future Expansion and District A) and a C-R Overlay, which allows development within the Overlay to
either be consistent with the underlying Resort District or subject to the same land uses as in the
Anaheim Resort Specific Plan No. 92-2 Zone. The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan also identifies
maximum development density designations for hotel/motel development in the Hotel District (up to
5,600 hotel rooms for the entire District with up to 1,000 hotel rooms transferable to the Theme Park
District), in District A (the maximum number of units permitted would be 75 hotel/motel rooms per gross
acre or 75 hotel/motel rooms per parcel existing on June 29, 1993, whichever is greater) and the C-R
Overlay (the maximum number of units permitted on a parcel would be the following: 1) for parcels
designated Low Density – up to 50 hotel rooms per gross acre or 75 rooms, whichever is greater; and 2)
for parcels designated Medium Density – up to 75 hotel rooms per gross acre or 75 rooms, whichever is
greater; provided that for those parcels that are developed with hotel/motel rooms which exceeded the
maximum density designation, the number of rooms existing on the date of adoption of The Disneyland
Resort Specific Plan Ordinance may be rebuilt or modified at their existing density.) It should be noted
that accessory uses may be developed as well as other visitor-serving commercial/retail and restaurant
uses along with these hotel/motel uses. The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan also provides for the
development of the Anaheim GardenWalk project pursuant to the Anaheim GardenWalk Overlay at the
following density and subject to the approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 4078, as amended, to permit
the following: up to 569,750 square feet of specialty retail, restaurants, and entertainment uses,
including movie theaters; 1,628 hotel rooms/suites (including up to 500 vacation ownership units) and
278,817 square feet of hotel accessory uses; a transportation center, and 4,800 parking spaces. The
Anaheim GardenWalk Overlay encompasses District A and the portion of the Parking District (East
Parking Area)/CR Overlay south of Disney Way.
Note No. 2: The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan (ARSP) provides for the development of approximately
582 581.3 acres within The Anaheim Resort. The ARSP is divided into two development areas.
Development Area No. 1 is referred to as the C-R (Commercial Recreation) District, which allows for
hotels, motels, convention and conference facilities, as well as restaurants, retail shops and
entertainment facilities; the. Development Area No. 2 is referred to as the PR (Public Recreation)
District which encompasses the Anaheim Convention Center and associated parking facilities and
provides for the orderly use of City-owned property as well as the existing Anaheim Hilton Hotel; the.
The C-R District includes two overlays. The Mobilehome Park (MHP) Overlay, which encompasses
existing mobilehome parks within the C-R District, and provides development standards for mobilehome
parks and regulations and procedures to mitigate relocation concerns and adverse effects of
displacement upon mobilehome owners when a park is converted to another land use; and, the. The
Anaheim Resort Residential Overlay, which applies to focused areas of the Specific Plan, and provides
for the incorporation of residential uses into hotel developments when such uses are fully integrated into
a minimum 300-room full-service hotel.
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan also identifies maximum development density designations in the C-
R District. These designations are based upon hotel/motel development and allow up to 20% of each
hotel/motel project gross square footage, excluding parking facilities, to be developed with integrated
(i.e., included within the main hotel/motel complex) accessory uses. These accessory uses will reduce
the otherwise maximum permitted hotel/motel density at the rate of one hotel/motel room per six
hundred (600) gross square feet of accessory use. For properties proposed to be developed with
permitted and conditionally permitted uses other than hotels/motels with accessory uses, the traffic
generation characteristics of said uses shall not exceed those associated with the otherwise permitted
-7- PC2012-***
TABLE LU-4: GENERAL PLAN DENSITY PROVISIONS FOR SPECIFIC AREAS OF THE CITY (CONTINUED)
hotel/motel (including accessory uses) density as determined by the City Traffic and Transportation
Manager prior to Final Site Plan review and approval. The maximum development density for each of
the designations are as follows:
• “Low Density,” which has a maximum density of: up to 50 rooms per gross acre or 75 rooms per
lot or parcel, whichever is greater;
• “Low-Medium Density:,” up to 75 rooms per gross acre or 75 rooms per lot or parcel, whichever
is greater;
• “Low-Medium Density (Modified):,” up to 252 rooms and 75,593 square feet of accessory uses;
“Medium Density,” up to 100 rooms per gross acre or 75 rooms per lot or parcel, whichever is
greater; and,
• “Convention Center (CC) Medium Density:,” up to 125 rooms per gross acre with trip generation
characteristics mitigated to the equivalent of 100 rooms per gross acre or 75 rooms per lot or
parcel, whichever is greater.
For those parcels that are developed with hotel/motel rooms which exceed the maximum density
designation, the number of rooms existing on the date of adoption of the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan
Ordinance may be rebuilt or modified at their existing density. For projects that are developed in
accordance with the Anaheim Resort Residential Overlay, the maximum number of dwelling units
allowed shall be less than the number of hotel rooms proposed and such projects shall not create
infrastructure impacts greater than the subject property’s permitted hotel/motel density, as permitted by
the property’s underlying C-R District density designation unless otherwise mitigated through
subsequent environmental analysis.
The maximum development density for the PR District is up to:
• 2,158,363 square feet of convention center/meeting space
• 100,000 square feet of outdoor programmable space
• 2,500 hotel rooms
• 180,000 square feet of commercial space

.010 Purpose. To permit the maximum amount of development in the Anaheim Resort
Specific Plan area consistent with The Anaheim Resort’s infrastructure capacity, the Specific
Plan establishes four (4)five (5) density categories in the C-R District. The following criteria
establish density modifications for hotel/motel accessory uses and uses other than
hotels/motels.
.0101 Hotel/Motel Accessory Uses. These designations are based upon hotel/motel
development and allow Up to twenty percent (20%) of each hotel/motel project gross square
footage, excluding parking facilities, to may be developed with integrated (i.e., included within
the main hotel/motel complex) accessory uses. Any accessory use, that is not identified as
“limited strictly to the use of the guests and/or employees of such hotel” within Table 116-
E, Accessory Uses Incidental to and Integrated within a Hotel or Motel Including Suite-
Type Hotels, and Otherwise Limited Herein: C-R District (Development Area 1), will
reduce the otherwise maximum permitted hotel/motel density at the rate of one hotel/motel room
per six hundred (600) gross square feet of accessory use.
.0102 Uses other than Hotels/Motels. For properties proposed to be developed with
permitted and conditionally permitted uses other than hotels/motels with accessory uses, the
traffic generation characteristics of said uses shall not exceed those associated with the otherwise
permitted hotel/motel (including accessory uses) density as determined by the City Traffic and
Transportation Manager prior to Final Site Plan review and approval. Boundaries of the density
areas are depicted in Exhibit 3.3.3b2, (Commercial Recreation (C-R) District Development
Density Plan) of the Specific Plan document.
.020 The maximum number of hotel/motel rooms allowed in each density category is
shown in Table 116-B of Section 18.116.060 (Development Density Areas - Commercial
Recreation (C-R) District (Development Area 1)).

Low-Medium Density Up to 75 rooms per gross acre or 75 rooms per lot or parcel existing on the date of
adoption of the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan, whichever is greater, except that
for that area identified in Ordinance No. 5694 as Area 8 on Exhibit 9.1a of the
Specific Plan document entitled “Legal Description Areas” (Amendment No. 3),

.030 Exceptions.
.0301 For parcels that are developed with hotel or motel rooms which exceed the
maximum density designation, the number of rooms existing on the date of adoption of the
Anaheim Resort Specific Plan Ordinance (Ordinance No. 5453, Adopted on September 27,
1994) (or for amended areas, the date of the adoption of the specific plan amendment ordinance)
may be rebuilt or modified at their existing density. (Ord. 5453 § 1 (part); September 27, 1994:
Ord. 5694 § 1; August 17, 1999.)
.0302 Densities of contiguous parcels/lots may be combined for the purpose of
developing a master plan project without processing a subdivision map to combine the
parcels/lots subject to the following:
.01 That the density on one or more parcels/lots may exceed the maximum density
allowed for said parcel/lot provided that: the maximum overall density permitted for the
combined parcels/lots is not exceeded; the proposed project does not exceed traffic impacts
associated with the otherwise permitted hotel/motel density as determined by the City’s Traffic
and Transportation Manager; and, that the environmental effects associated with the proposed
project are consistent with those cleared by the Master Environmental Impact Report for the
Anaheim Resort Specific Plan (MEIR No. 313) and Supplemental Environmental impact
Report for Amendment No. 14 to the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan (SEIR No. 340), or
other final environmental documentation.
.02 That the proposed density for each parcel/lot is shown on the Final Site Plan
processed in accordance with subsection 18.116.040.020 (Final Site Plan Review and Approval).
.03 That an unsubordinated covenant shall be recorded on each of the affected
parcels limiting the density of each parcel to that shown on the approved Final Site Plan and that
said covenant shall be recorded prior to the issuance of the first building permit for the master
plan project. The covenant shall be prepared in a form satisfactory to the City Attorney and shall
be recorded with the Office of the Orange County Recorder. A copy of the recorded covenant
shall then be submitted to the Planning Department. (Ord. 5920 § 1 (part); June 8, 2004: Ord.

Dear Ms. Kim:
Re: SCH #1991091062 Anaheim Resort Specific Plan
The California Public Utilities Commission (Commission) has jurisdiction over the safety of highway-
rail crossings (crossings) in California. The California Public Util ities Code requires Commission
approval for the construction or alteration of crossings and grants the Commission exclusive power on
the design, alteration, and closure of crossings in California. The Commission Rail Crossings
Engineering Section (RCES) is in receipt of the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) from the
State Clearinghouse for the proposed Anaheim Resort Specific Plan project.
RCES recommends that the City of Anaheim add language to the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan so that
any future development adjacent to or near the shared railroad/light rail right -of-way is planned with the
safety of the rail corridor in mind. New developments may increase traffic volumes not only on streets
and at intersections, but also at at-grade highway-rail crossings. This includes considering pedestrian
circulation patterns/destinations with respect to railroad right-of-way and compliance with the Americans
with Disabilities Act. Mitigation measures to consider include, but are not limited to, the planning for
grade separations for major thoroughfares, improvements to existing at-grade highway-rail crossings due
to increase in traffic volumes and continuous vandal resistant fencing or other appropriate barriers to
limit the access of trespassers onto the railroad right -of-way.
If you have any questions, please contact Ken Chiang at 213-576-7076, email at ykc@cpuc.ca.gov.

motel. Prior to the amendments, the site was designated for Medium Density Residential land
uses, while the balance of the motel (lobby and 56 guest rooms) was included in the SP 92-2

ARSP Amendment No. 4. In June 2004, the City Council adopted Zoning Code Amendment
No. 2004-00029, a comprehensive update of Title 18 (Zoning) of the Anaheim Municipal Code.

ARSP, which amended Chapter 18.116 of the Anaheim Municipal Code (Anaheim Resort
Specific Plan 92-2 (SP92-2) Zoning and Development Standards) in its entirety to provide
consistent formatting with Title 18 (Zoning Code) along with minor modifications and
clarifications.
ARSP Amendment No. 7 In August 2006, the City Council approved General Plan
Amendment No. 2006-00042 and Amendment No. 7 to the ARSP to create a residential
overlay that would allow the development of residential uses in certain targeted areas when

accessory commercial uses and a 191-unit condominium complex on approximately 5 acres
located at 2232 Harbor Boulevard, in the southern portion of the ARSP area. Prior to the City
Council taking final action on this request, the applicant withdrew the proposal due to the
approval of the “SOAR” Initiative.
ARSP Amendment No. 11. In March 2008, under General Plan Amendment No. 2008-00466
and Amendment No. 11 to the ARSP, City Council adopted an initiative measure, known as the

references and terminology for Restaurants with Outdoor Dining, Restaurants with Accessory
Entertainment, Dance Venues, Massage Establishments, Amusement Devices, Amusement
Arcades and Health Clubs to be consistent with Chapters 18.16 (Regulatory Permits) and 18.92

ARSP Amendment No. 14. In ______, City Council approved General Plan Amendment No.
2010-00482 and Amendment No. 14 to the ARSP to update the ARSP to reflect current
development conditions and regulations and increase the maximum allowable square footage in
the Public Recreational (PR) district to accommodate future expansion of the Anaheim
Convention Center.
Chapter 5.0 Design Plan (Page 5-1)
The Design Plan contains descriptions of the basic concepts that will help achieve the ARSP's
fundamental goal of creating a unified resort identity for the ARSP area. Written text in this
Section describes the fundamental design concepts, while the drawings that accompany the text
show how the concepts will be implemented.
The Design Plan has been coordinated with several adopted documents that describe design
concepts for the ARSP area. These documents include The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan, The
Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape Program, and The Anaheim Resort Identity Program.
In addition, this Section is intended to supplement the Zoning and Development Standards
contained in Section 7.0, which is codified as Chapter 18.118 of the Anaheim Municipal Code.
Since the public streets are the interface between the ARSP and The Disneyland Resort Specific
Plan, both specific plans describe in detail the design of the public streets, as well as the
treatment of setback areas adjacent to public streets. The emphasis in both plans is on creating
unity through landscape design, a standardized design vocabulary for streetscape elements (such
as light poles and directional signs), and regulation of private property, including standards for
signs, building heights, and setbacks.
For ease of reference and to better depict the relationship between the two specific plans, the
ARSP contains information about the treatment of all public streets that border or are within the
ARSP area boundaries. As a result, there is an overlap in the information contained in both
specific plans along the border between the two areas. For example, the description and
illustrations of the design concept for Harbor Boulevard appear in both specific plans.
On September 20, 1994, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 94R-239 approving The
Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape Program. Subsequent amendments have been adopted
including Resolution No. 96R-178 (Amendment No. 1), 99R-137 (Amendment No. 2), 2002R-56
(Amendment No. 3), 2009R-037 (Amendment No. 4), and _______(Amendment No. 5). The
Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape Program summarizes landscape concepts proposed for
the public streets within The Anaheim Resort and provides a general overview of the different
landscape treatments that will help create a unifying resort identity.
-6-
The ARSP is also consistent with The Anaheim Resort Identity Program approved by the City
Council by adoption of Resolution No. 94R-238 and amended by Resolution Nos. 2001R-239
(Amendment No. 1) and ________ (Amendment No. 2). The Anaheim Resort Identify Identity
Program contains specific recommendations for the location and design of gateways, directional
signs, banners, light fixtures, and street furniture for The Anaheim Resort. Section 5.5 of the
ARSP summarizes how signs and other identity elements will help create the unified
environment envisioned for the entire Anaheim Resort area.
The information in this Section supplements the Zoning and Development Standards contained
in Section 7.0 in the following ways. First, it describes the fundamental design ideas and
concepts that are the basis for the standards and regulations. This description of the basic
concepts will assist in the interpretation of the intent of the ARSP in situations where several
options may be consistent with the regulations. Also, it contains design guidelines that would be
considered too general to be standards or regulations, but convey useful information about the
character and quality of development anticipated within the ARSP area. Finally, this Section
contains sketches, cross-sections and photos that show what the physical appearance of
important conditions in the ARSP area should be if the standards, regulations, and guidelines are
implemented in accordance with this section and Section 7.0. By showing how the two work
together, the intent of the ARSP can be conveyed in a more comprehensive manner.
