been established to provide for the orderly development of,
and upon adoption of an ordinance reclassifying said
property to this zone, shall be applicable to that certain
property (hereinafter referred to as the 'Specific Plan
area') described in the Specific Plan No. 90-4 document
(hereinafter referred to as the 'Specific Plan') marked
'Exhibit A' and on file in the Office of the City Clerk
approved by the Anaheim City Council on September, 1991, as
the same may be hereinafter amended. These standards
provide for the arrangement, development and use of a
variety of residential housing types, supporting commercial
facilities and open space consistent with the intent,
purpose and goals of the City's General Plan and Zoning
Ordinance. The Specific Plan provides for the continued
operation of the existing sand and gravel facility within
Development Areas 4, 5, 15, 16, 17, 25, 27 and 28 until such
time as residential/commercial development occurs. Although
the Eastern Transportation Corridor, which is designed and
planned by the Orange County Transportation Corridor
Authority, is not subject to these regulations, the Specific
Plan provides for and accommodates the ETC. Application of
these regulations is specifically intended to provide the
most appropriate use of the land, create a harmonious
relationship among land uses and protect the health, safety
and welfare of the community.
.020 In accordance with the provisions of Chapter
18.93 of the Anaheim Municipal Code (Specific Plan
Ordinance), the standards herein are patterned after the
zone districts and definitions contained in Chapter 18
'Zoning' of the Anaheim Municipal Code.

as established by this Chapter are approximate and are
limited in accuracy by the scale at which the Development
Plan Map (Exhibit 9 in the Specific Plan document) is drawn.
Acreage figures in the Development Plan Statistical Summary
(Table 1 of the Specific Plan document), are shown to the
nearest acre based upon mechanical planimeter readings of
the Development Plan Map at a scale of 1"=5001.

Orange County Transportation Corridor Agency, and of
the precise alignments of arterial highways approved by
the City of Anaheim.
.0503 Intermediate schools, elementary schools
and public parks are shown symbolically within
development areas and an estimated acreage has been
assigned to each. Should the actual school and/or park
acreage change, residential acreage within affected
development areas will be adjusted accordingly and
shall be in addition to and separate from the
modifications and fifteen (15) percent limitation
described above.
Precise development area boundaries and acreage will be
established as hereinafter provided by the submittal, review
and approval of subdivision plans in conjunction with the
subdivision process as set forth in Title 17 of the Anaheim
Municipal Code. Boundary and acreage variations from those
shown on the Development Plan Map and Development Plan
Statistical Summary (Exhibit 9 and Table 1 in the Specific
Plan document) shall be permitted as part of the subdivision
approval in accordance with this section without amendment
to the Specific Plan. The City Zoning Map shall reflect the
boundaries of the development areas as defined in
conjunction with the recordation of subdivision maps.

tree removals not associated with the initial
grading and landscaping for the Mountain Park
Specific Plan).
a. That principles of good forest management
will best be served by the proposed removal;
b. That a reasonable and practical development
of the property on which the tree is located
requires removal of the tree or trees whose
removal is sought;
C. That the character of the immediate
neighborhood in respect of forestation will
not be materially affected by the proposed
removal;
d. That the topography of the building site
renders removal reasonably necessary; and,
85
