18.120.030 INTENT OF INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT AREAS.
.010 Industrial Area (DA -1). The intent of the Industrial Area (DA -1) is to provide for and
encourage the development of light and heavy industrial uses and related facilities, and further,
to recognize the unique and valuable industrial land resources existing within the City of
Anaheim and to protect Anaheim Canyon as a viable, successful commerce and employment
center. This resource is found to have both local and regional significance due to an ideal
industrial environment, including central geographic location, regional access and circulation,
availability of utilities and services, and a well-established industrial base. The underlying base
zone for this area is the "P' Industrial Zone and, unless otherwise indicated, the standards of the
"P" Industrial Zone shall apply.
.020 Recycling Area (DA -2). The intent of the Recycling Area (DA -2) is to provide for
and encourage a specific location for waste recycling and material recovery uses and facilities
within Anaheim Canyon. Due to the presence of an ideal industrial environment, including
-12- PC2015-086
central geographic location, regional access and circulation, availability of utilities and services,
and the presence of a large urban population, the availability of land for recycling, materials
recovery and related uses is a resource found to have both local and regional significance. The
underlying base zone for this area is the "I" Industrial Zone and, unless otherwise indicated, the
standards of the "I" Industrial Zone shall apply.
.030 Transit Oriented Area (DA -3). The intent of the Transit Oriented Area (DA -3) is to
provide for and encourage the development of a high-quality, pedestrian and bicycle friendly
mixed-use district that will define the core of Anaheim Canyon and take full advantage of the
Anaheim Canyon Metrolink Station and convenient access to the Riverside Freeway and open
space areas. This area provides a unique location for new workforce and commuter housing
within Anaheim Canyon, including affordable housing. These resources are found to have both
local and regional significance due to the City's central geographic location and ideal proximity
to regional markets and labor pools, and regional access, circulation and public transit routes.
This mixed use area, and its continued development in a quality manner, is found to be a
resource essential to the community's economic health and the preservation of a competitive
growth potential. The underlying, base zone for this area is the "MU" Mixed Use Overlay Zone
and, unless otherwise indicated, the standards of the "MU" Mixed Use Overlay Zone shall apply.
.040 Local Commercial Area (DA -4). The intent of the Local Commercial Area (DA -4) is
to provide locations for the development of locally -serving commercial and retail amenities, such
as sit-down restaurants, fast food restaurants, professional services and other commercial uses
that serve the local workforce. These areas are dispersed throughout Anaheim Canyon and
provide a viable opportunity to create new worker amenities within a walkable or bikeable
distance from most area businesses. The underlying base zone for this area is "C -NC"
Neighborhood Center Commercial Zone and, unless otherwise indicated, the standards of the "C-
NC" Neighborhood Center Commercial Zone shall apply.
.050 General Commercial Area (DA -5). The intent of the General Commercial Area (DA -
5) is to provide locations for larger, regionally -serving commercial, entertainment and medical
uses. These larger uses are important to the city and the region. These uses are intended to take
full advantage of good freeway access and visibility. The underlying base zone for this area is
"C -G" General Commercial Zone and, unless otherwise indicated, the standards of the "C -G"
General Commercial Zone shall apply.
.060 Open Space/Water Area (DA -6). The intent of the Open Space/Water Area (DA -6) is
to ensure that all existing water -related, open space areas are protected from incompatible uses
and maintained in an orderly manner. Anaheim Canyon is located on some of the most
permeable soil in Orange County, and groundwater recharge is a critically important activity of
regional importance. Protecting these areas is an important focus of the Specific Plan. In addition
to groundwater recharge activities, this area also encourages the creation of bicycle and
pedestrian trails that link Anaheim Canyon to surrounding neighborhoods and the Santa Ana
Trail system. Certain non -open space or water uses are also allowed within this development
area, as indicated in Tables 120-A, 120-B and 120-C. The underlying base zone for this area is
the "OS" Open Space Zone, and, unless otherwise indicated, the standards of the "OS" Zone
shall apply.
.070 Flex Area (DA -7). The intent of the Flex Area (DA -7) is to provide locations for a
wide range of industrial, office and commercial uses. This area allows flexibility in both the
types of uses and development standards that are applied. Every use that is included in either
"DA -1" or "DA -5" can also be located within the Flex Area. In the event there is a conflict
-13- PC2015-086
between the development standards of the two Development Areas, the least restrictive standard
shall apply within the Flex Area. The underlying base zones for this area are "I" Industrial Zone
and "C -G" General Commercial Zone and, unless otherwise indicated, the standards of the "I"
Industrial Zone and "C -G" General Commercial Zone shall apply.
18.120.040 USES.
.010 Primary Uses. Table 120-A (Primary Uses by Development Area: Residential Use
Classes) and Table 120-B (Primary Uses by Development Area: Non -Residential Use Classes)
identify allowable primary uses, listed by classes of uses as defined in Chapter 18.36 (Types of
Uses).
.020 Accessory Uses. Table 120-C (Accessory Use Classes by Development Area)
identifies allowable accessory uses and structures, listed by classes of uses as defined in Section
18.36.050 of Chapter 18.36 (Types of Uses).

.040 Use Tables. The allowable uses in Tables 120-A, 120-13, 120-C and 120-D for each
development area are established by letter designations as follows:
.0401 "P" designates classes of uses permitted by right;
.0402 "C" designates classes of uses permitted with a conditional use permit;
.0403 "N" designates classes of uses that are prohibited; and
.0404 "T" designates classes of uses permitted with a telecommunications antenna
review permit.
.050 Interpreting Classes of Uses. The provisions for interpreting the classes of uses in
Tables 120-A, 120-B, 120-C or 120-D are set forth in Section 18.36.020 (Classification of Uses)
of Chapter 18.36 (Types of Uses).
.060 Unlisted Uses. Any class of use that is not listed in Tables 120-A, 120-13, 120-C or
120-D is not permitted.
.070 General Requirements for Permitted Uses. Notwithstanding any other provisions of
this chapter, the following general requirements shall apply for the conduct of any use permitted
in any development area:
.0701 All uses shall be maintained in such a manner that they are neither obnoxious,
offensive or objectionable by reason of emission of odor, dust, smoke, gas, noise, vibration,
electromagnetic disturbance, radiation, fumes, excessive lighting (glare) or other similar causes
detrimental to the public health, safety or general welfare.
.0702 All uses shall be conducted wholly within a building except the following:
(1) Normal service station operations;
(2) Those uses whose description in Chapter 18.36 (Types of Uses) allow for
outdoor activities; and,
(3) Those uses specifically allowed by this chapter to have outdoor activities.
.080 Special Provisions. Special provisions related to a use are referenced in the "Special
Provisions" column of Tables 120-A, 120-B and 120-C. Such provisions may include references
to other applicable code sections or limitations to the specified land use.
.090 Overlay Zones. Any property that is located within an overlay zone may be subject to
additional requirements as specified in the overlay zone.
.100 Flex Area (DA -7). Every use that is included in either "DA -1" or "DA -5" can also be
-14- PC2015-086
located within the Flex Area (DA -7). The least restrictive use requirements of the two
development areas will apply to the use.

18.120.050 SITE AND BUILDING AREA.
.010 Site Development Standards — General. Site development standards are intended to
provide for the continued orderly development of each development area, to assure adequate
levels of light, air and density of development, to maintain and enhance the locally recognized
values of community appearance, to promote the functional compatibility of uses and the safe
and efficient circulation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic, all of which are found to be
necessary for the preservation of the community health, safety and general welfare.
.020 Building Site Requirements. The size and shape of the site proposed for the use shall
be adequate to allow the full development of the proposed use in a manner consistent with the
stated purpose and intent of the development area within which it is proposed to be developed.
.0201 Adequate provision shall be made for the safe and orderly circulation of both
pedestrian and vehicular traffic between the proposed site and all streets and highways, and
between coordinated facilities, accessways or parking areas on adjacent sites.
.0202 The proposed development shall not limit or adversely affect the growth and
development potential of adjoining lands or the general area in which it is proposed to be
located.
.0203 Adequate provisions shall be made for loading and unloading of supplies and
materials, and collection of refuse in a manner that is screened from view and does not obstruct
required parking and accessways or impact adjacent land uses.
.030 Building Size. No commercial building shall be less than four hundred (400) square
feet in size, excluding kiosks.
18.120.060 FLOOR AREA RATIO, RESIDENTIAL DENSITY AND STRUCTURAL
HEIGHT.
The maximum floor area ratio, residential density and structural height for each Development
Area is shown in Table 120-E. Special provisions are referenced in the "Special Provisions"
column.
.010 Floor Area Ratio Exception. An increase in the maximum floor area ratio is permitted
in connection with a conditional use permit, as set forth in Chapter 18.66 (Conditional Use
Permit) and subject to the following additional finding:
.0101 The proposed use of the structure(s) shall not create a greater impact to
infrastructure than impacts anticipated by the maximum permitted floor area ratio, as analyzed
by Environmental Impact Report No. 348 prepared for the Anaheim Canyon Specific Plan,
unless such impacts are duly analyzed and mitigated pursuant to subsequent environmental
review. Such impacts shall be determined through a sewer and traffic impact analysis to be
submitted to the City Engineer. Additional infrastructure studies may be required as determined
by the Planning Director.
.020 Structural Height Exceptions. Projections above the height limit are permitted as set
forth in Section 18.40.030 in Chapter 18.40 (General Development Standards).
