(DEV2015-00024)
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 15,570 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
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

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, on December 18, 2007 and in response to the application of Platinum

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
feet of commercial uses. A project Environmental Impact Report was also approved to increase
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
