EXHIBIT "A"
Proposed General Plan Amendment No. 2013 -00488 would revise the text on page LU -33 of
the General Plan Land Use Element as shown below. Deletions are shown in str+ket#r and
additions are shown in underline Tables LU -5 and LU -6 are proposed to amended as shown
on the "Existing" and "Proposed" tables on the following pages.
Land Use Buildout Analysis
Providing a blueprint for the future development of Anaheim is one of the primary purposes of the General
Plan. The Land Use Plan, which includes areas within Anaheim's sphere -of- influence, identifies 16
16,519 acres of residential land uses, 644 659 acres of residential mixed -use land uses, and 5,619 acres of
other employment - generating land uses. Assuming a probable intensity for each of the land use
designations, the land use plan provides for 42-9,308 137,954 dwelling units (see Table LU -5). Based on a
factor of 3.3 persons per household (1.5 per household in mixed -use areas), the estimated build -out
population of the Land Use Plan would be 404, 407,463 persons.
Of the employment - generating land uses, the land use plan provides for a total of 4,150 1,121 acres of
Neighborhood, Regional and General Commercial uses, 625 532 acres of office uses, and 2,677 2,684 acres
of industrial uses and 707 acres of residential and non - residential mixed use. Combined with the eff*Ge and
these land use designations
would generate approximately 251,495 228,470 jobs using the probable intensity factors (FARs) for each non-
residential land use designation (see Table LU -6). Additional employment opportunities will also be provided
by the implementation of the Commercial Recreation land use designation through the Anaheim Resort,
Disneyland Resort and Hotel Circle Specific Plans.

Notes:
The number of dwelling units for each designation is calculated by adding the number of existing dwelling units in
areas of the City that are not anticipated to change to the number of units that are calculated by multiplying the
gross acres of areas that are most likely to change by the probable residential densities, then by adding the
assumed number of dwelling units for the Mountain Park Specific Plan described below.
Dwelling units in areas not anticipated to change are the number of dwelling units in areas that are not likely to be
further subdivided or areas that have a fixed buildout capacity through a specific plan. These are determined by:
1) adding the number of parcels in areas that are not likely to further subdivide; or 2) by referencing the number of
units expected at buildout for areas addressed through specific plans (see Table LU -1).
The Mountain Park Specific Plan area assumes a total buildout of 2,500 dwelling units - 485 units of Low Medium
Hillside Density and 2,015 units of Low Medium Density.
Mixed -Use densities and buildout projections for The Platinum Triangle are identified separately in Table LU -4.
Acreages identified in this table are approximate.

Notes:
The estimated square feet for each designation
is calculated by adding
the existing building
square feet in areas of
the City that are not anticipated to change to the
gross acres
of areas that are most likely to change multiplied by
the probable Floor Area Ratios (FAR).
For The Anaheim Resort/Commercial Recreation land use designation, please refer to
the Disneyland Resort,
Anaheim Resort and Hotel Circle Specific Plans.
Build -out intensities for the Platinum Triangle are based on
the maximum intensities described in Table LU -4.
