A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM APPROVING AND ADOPTING GENERAL PLAN
AMENDMENT NO. 2015-00504.
(GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 2015-00504)
(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
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, on December 18, 2007 and in response to the application of Platinum
Triangle Partners, LLC ("Original Owner") for entitlements allowing for the development of a
residential project consisting of up to 878 residential units, two public parks, and new public
connector streets (the "Original Project") on certain real property consisting of approximately
15.6 acres and bounded by State College Boulevard on the west, Orangewood Avenue on the
south, and Angel Stadium of Anaheim on the north (the "Property"), the City Council determined
that the Second Addendum to FSEIR No. 332 was 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
2
WHEREAS, the entitlements for the Original Project consisted of (1) Conditional Use
Permit No. 2006-05093, to permit two residential towers up to 350 feet in height; (2)

200800003 1001 (the "Original Development Agreement"); 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
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
square feet of commercial uses, 16,819,015 square feet of office uses, and 1,500,000 square feet
of institutional uses (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
Environmental Impact Report for the Platinum Triangle Expansion Project; and
WHEREAS, on December 16, 2008, the City Council approved that certain Amendment
No. I to the Original Development Agreement for the purpose of extending the initial term of the
Original Development Agreement to January 22, 2016. Amendment No. I to the Original
Development Agreement was recorded in the Official Records on February 23, 2009 as
Instrument No. 2009000081176; and
WHEREAS, on or about October 26, 2010, the City Council approved the Revised

hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
WHEREAS, this City Council, after due consideration, inspection, investigation and
study made by itself, and after due consideration of all evidence and reports offered at said
hearing, does hereby find and determine as follows:
1. That proposed General Plan Amendment 2015-00504 maintains
internal consistency with the General Plan. The proposed modifications to the
D
Land Use Element, Circulation Element, and Green Element of the General Plan
are consistent with Goals 5.1 and 15.1 of the Land Use Element to create and
enhance dynamic, identifiable places for the benefit of Anaheim residents,
employees and visitors, and to continue to establish The Platinum Triangle as a
thriving economic center that provides residents, visitors and employees with a
variety of housing, employment, shopping and entertainment opportunities that
are accessed by arterial highways, transit systems and pedestrian promenades,
which is consistent with the goals and policies set forth in the General Plan for the
Mixed Use land use designation and the Platinum Triangle Master Land Use Plan,
as proposed to be amended by, and contingent upon and subject to the approval by
the City Council of, Miscellaneous Case No. 2016-00631, now pending;
2. That proposed General Plan Amendment 2015-00504 would not be
detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the
City because the proposed relocation of the public park is consistent with the
goals and policies of the Land Use Element of the General Plan encouraging
mixed-use and commercial development that provides safe, protected places for
pedestrians to walk, attractive surroundings, opportunities for social interaction,
and comfortable places to sit and relax;
3. That proposed General Plan Amendment 2015-00504 continues to
be consistent with the intent of the General Plan and would maintain the balance
of land uses within the City; and
4. The proposed General Plan Amendment 2015-00504 is physically
suitable to accommodate the proposed modifications, including but not limited to,
access, physical constraints, topography, provision of utilities, and compatibility
with surrounding land uses.
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
the findings made in this Resolution. The City Council expressly declares that it considered all
evidence presented and reached these findings after due consideration of all evidence presented
to it.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the aforesaid findings and
determinations and based upon a thorough review of proposed General Plan Amendment 2015-
00504, Addendum No. 6, the other CEQA Documents, and the evidence received to date, does
hereby approve General Plan Amendment 2015-00504, as shown on Exhibits A through C
attached to this Resolution, contingent upon and subject to (1) the approval of the other Proposed
New Entitlements, specifically, Zoning Code Amendment No. 2015-00128, Miscellaneous Case
No. 2016-00631, Conditional Use Permit No. 2015-05806, Tentative Tract Map No. 17918 and
Development Agreement No. 2015-00001, now pending; and (2) the mitigation measures set
forth in Mitigation Monitoring Program 106C approved in conjunction with FSEIR No. 339 and
Mitigation Monitoring Plan No. 334 for the Proposed New Project.

conditions set forth in a separate resolution of this City Council adopted substantially
concurrently with this Resolution relating to the proposed Development Agreement No. 2015-
