(DEV DEV2013-00034A)
WHEREAS, the Platinum Triangle comprises approximately 820 acres located at the
confluence of the Interstate 5 and State Route 57 ("SR -57 Freeway") freeways in the City of
Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, generally east of the Interstate 5 Freeway, west
of the Santa Ana River channel and the SR -57 Freeway, south of the Southern California Edison
easement, and north of the Anaheim City limit. The Platinum Triangle encompasses the Angel
Stadium, the Honda Center, the City National Grove of Anaheim, the Anaheim Regional
Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC), 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 City Council of the City of Anaheim ("City Council") has
approved several actions relating to the area encompassed by the Platinum Triangle; and
WHEREAS, on May 30, 1996, the City Council certified Final Environmental Impact
Report No. 320 and adopted Area Development Plan No. 120 for that portion of the Angel
Stadium property associated with the Sportstown Development. Area Development Plan No.
120 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 1.5,570 on-site parking spaces.
The Grove of Anaheim, the renovated Angel Stadium and the Stadium Gateway Office Building
were developed/renovated under Area Development Plan No. 120; and
WHEREAS, on March 2, 1999, the City Council adopted the Anaheim Stadium Area
Master Land Use Plan ("MLUP"). The boundaries of the MLUP were generally the same as
those for the Platinum Triangle, with the exception that the MLUP included 15 acres adjacent to
the Interstate 5 freeway that are not a part of the current Platinum Triangle boundaries. As part
of the approval process for the 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 MLUP was implemented through the Sports Entertainment Overlay
Zone ("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 the SE 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
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 (known as "General Plan Amendment No. 2004-00419") changed the
General Plan designations within the Platinum Triangle 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 No. 330 ("FEIR No. 330"), which was prepared for the General
Plan and Zoning Code Update and associated actions, analyzed the above development
intensities on a City-wide impact level and adopted mitigation monitoring programs, including
that certain Updated and Modified Mitigation Monitoring Plan No. 106 for the Platinum
Triangle; and
WHEREAS, on August 17, 2004 and in order to provide the implementation tools
necessary to realize the City's new vision for the Platinum Triangle, the City Council replaced
the MLUP with the Platinum Triangle Master Land Use Plan (the "PTMLUP"), replaced the SE
Overlay Zone with the Platinum. Triangle Mixed Use Overlay Zone ("PTMU Overlay Zone"),
approved the form of a Standardized Platinum Triangle Development Agreement, and approved
associated zoning reclassifications. Under those updated zoning regulations, property owners
2
desiring to develop under the PTMU Overlay Zone provisions were thereafter required to enter
into a standardized Development Agreement with the City of Anaheim; and
WHEREAS, on October 25, 2005, the City Council certified Final Subsequent
Environmental Impact Report No. 332 ("FSEIR No. 332"), adopted a Statement of Findings of
Fact, a Statement of Overriding Considerations, and the Updated and Modified Mitigation
Monitoring Program No. 106A to provide for the implementation of the PTMLUP, in
conjunction with its consideration and approval of General Plan Amendment No. 2004-00420,
Miscellaneous Case No. 2005-00089 and Zoning Code Amendment No. 2004-00036, which
collectively allowed for an increase in 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
WHEREAS, also on October 25, 2005 and in response to the application of Lennar
Platinum Triangle, LLC ("Original Developer"), Don H. Watson, Trustee of the Don H. Watson
Family Trust, Julius Realty Corporation, Traffic Control Services, Inc., Joselito D. Ong and
Renee Dee Ong, Roger C. Treichler and Vicki Treichler, as Co -Trustees of the Treichler Family
Trust, the Robert Stovall Family Partnership, L.P. and Jennifer Leonard and Linda Gaffney, as
tenants in common (collectively referred to herein, along with the Original Developer, as the
"Original Owner") for entitlements allowing for the development of up to 2,681 residences with
a mix of housing types, including high rise residential towers, street townbomes, podium
townhomes and lofts, with 150,000 square feet of street -related retail commercial development,
public park space and associated infrastructure to be developed in four phases (the "Original
Project") on certain real property consisting of approximately 43 acres and bounded by State
College Boulevard on the east, Gene Autry Way on the south, and Katella Avenue on the north
(the "Property"), the City Council determined that FSEIR No. 332, a revision to the Updated and
Modified Mitigation Monitoring Program No. 106A to add new mitigation measure MM 5.10-7
thereto, and an Addendum to FSEIR No. 332, together with Mitigation Monitoring Plan No. 138,
were, collectively, adequate to serve as the required environmental documentation for the
Original Project and that no further environmental documentation needed to be prepared for the
Original Project and the "Original Development Approvals" (as defined below) for the Original
Project; and
WHEREAS, the entitlements for the Original Project consisted of (1) General Plan
Amendment No. 2005-00434, to amend Figure LU -4 of the Land Use Element of the General
Plan to re -designate an approximately 10.4 -acre site from the "Office -High" land use designation

Resolution No. 2004-00008 pertaining to Reclassification No. 2004-00127; (4) Reclassification
No. 2005-00164, to reclassify an approximately 10.4 -acre site from the "I" Industrial Zone to the
PTMU Overlay Zone, meaning that the provisions of the PTMU Overlay Zone shall apply to the
Property in addition to and, where inconsistent therewith, shall supersede any regulations of the
"I" Industrial Zone; (5) Zoning Code Amendment No. 2005-00042, to incorporate an
approximately 10.4 -acre site into the Platinum Triangle; (5) Conditional Use Permit No. 2005-

WHEREAS, on October 25, 2005, the City Council approved the Original Development
Approvals for the Original Project; thereafter, the City and the Original Owner entered into the
Original Development Agreement on or about November 8, 2005, which was recorded in the
Official Records of the County of Orange on December 13, 2005 as Instrument No.
2005000992876 (the "Original Development Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, in reliance on the Original Development Approvals, the Original Developer
constructed certain improvements on and about the Property in accordance with the design of
Tract Map No. 16859; and
WHEREAS, following the certification of FSEIR No. 332, the City Council approved
two addenda 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

the allowable development intensities by an additional 699 residential units to bring the total
allowable development intensity within the Platinum Triangle 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

Amendment No. 2004-00036, and a series of other related actions in order to provide for the
implementation of the PTMLUP and approval of the Platinum Triangle Expansion Project; and
WHEREAS, a lawsuit was filed challenging the adequacy of FSEIR No. 334. The City
Council thereafter 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

Addendum No. 4, together with the other CEQA Documents as the environmental
documentation required by CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines and the City's Local CEQA Procedure
Manual for the Proposed New Entitlements and the Revised Project; and
WHEREAS, the City Council determines that the evidence in the record constitutes
substantial evidence to support the actions taken and the findings made in this Resolution, that
the facts stated in this Resolution are supported by substantial evidence in the record, including
testimony received at the public hearing, the staff presentation, the staff report and all materials
in the project files. There is no substantial evidence, nor are there other facts, that detract from

E
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council, pursuant to the above
findings and based upon a thorough review of proposed Addendum No. 4, the CEQA Documents
and the evidence received to date, does find and determine as follows:
1. That Addendum No. 4 was prepared for the Proposed New Entitlements and the
Revised Project in compliance with the requirements of CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and
the City's Local CEQA Procedure Manual.
2. That, based upon the evidence submitted and as demonstrated by the analysis
included in Addendum No. 4, none of the conditions described in Sections 15162 or 15163 of the
State CEQA Guidelines calling for the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR or
negative declaration have occurred; specifically:
(a) There have not been any substantial changes in the Original Project that
require major revisions of the CEQA Documents because of new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified significant effects;
(b) There have not been any substantial changes with respect to the
circumstances under which the Revised Project is undertaken that require major
revisions of the CEQA Documents due to the involvement of new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified significant effects; and
(c) There is no new inforination of substantial importance, which was not known
and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the
time FSEIR No. 339 was certified as complete or the other CEQA Documents
were adopted, that shows any of the following: (a) the Revised Project will have
one or more significant effects not discussed in FSEIR No. 339 or the other
CEQA Documents; (b) significant effects previously examined will be
substantially more severe than shown in FSEIR No. 339 or the other CEQA
Documents; (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 Revised Project, but the Owner declines to adopt the
mitigation measures or alternatives; or (d) mitigation measures or alternatives
which are considerably different from those analyzed in FSEIR No. 339 or the
other CEQA Documents would substantially reduce one or more significant
effects on the environment, but the Owner declines to adopt the mitigation
measures or alternatives.
3. In connection with the Proposed New Entitlements and the City Council's review of
all of the CEQA Documents, including Addendum No. 4, the City Council has independently
reviewed all of the CEQA Documents and has exercised its independent judgment in making the
findings and determinations set forth herein.
