public hearing having been duly given as required by law and in accordance with the provisions of
Chapter 18.60 of the Code, to hear and consider evidence for and against the Proposed Project; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all evidence and reports
offered at said hearing and all testimony and arguments (if any) of all persons desiring to be heard,
this City Council considered all factors relating to the Proposed Project, including Amendment No.
15 to the ARSP and the recommendations of the Planning Commission, and does hereby find and
determine as follows 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
detennine as follows:
1. The property proposed for the specific plan amendment and redesignation of the
property to the Medium Density (Modified) density category has unique site characteristics and
surroundings as it is located in the ARSP, an area of the City that is designated for tourist and visitor -
serving uses. The proposed amendment would not change the boundaries of the existing ARSP. The
ARSP is one of three specific plans that implement the General Plan's Commercial -Recreation land
use designation. The proposed amendment will not make any changes to the development standards
that implement this designation.
2. The proposed amendment is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan,
subject to, and depending upon the approval of General Plan Amendment No. 2017-00517, now
pending, to redesignate the property located 1414 and 1441 South Manchester Avenue to the
"Medium Density (Modified) density category. The specific plan amendment is also consistent with
the purposes, standards and land use guidelines of the General Plan, as amended, in that the subject
properties located in the ARSP are designated by the General Plan for Commercial Recreation land
uses and the proposed project is for hotel development.
3. The proposed amendment would increase the development intensity permitted for the
property for hotel use and allow continued development in accordance with the ARSP. The proposed
amendment maintains the balance of land uses within the City by encouraging tourist and
entertainment related industries in an area of the City specifically designated for this type of
development.
4. The proposed amendment contributes to a balance of land uses throughout the City by
increasing the development opportunity of a property designated for tourist -oriented uses within The
Anaheim Resort, thereby encouraging commercial land uses at a location identified as such by the
General Plan.
5. The proposed amendment respects environmental and aesthetic, and historic resources
consistent with economic realities since all potential environmental impacts associated with the
proposed project and the increase in density were analyzed, the proposed hotel would be an
improvement upon the older hotel currently located on the site, and the existing Quality Inn and
Suites hotel is not identified as a historic resource; and
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM DOES
HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1.
That Table 116-B (Hotel/Motel Room Density) of Section 18.116.060 (Development
Density Areas—Commercial Recreation (C-R) District (Development Area 1) of Chapter 18.116
(Anaheim Resort Specific Plan No. 92-2 (SP 92-2) Title 18 (Zoning) of the Anaheim Municipal
Code be, and the same is hereby, amended and restated to read in full as follows:
TABLE 116-B
HOTEL/MOTEL ROOM DENSITY
Density Category
Maximum Density
Up to 50 rooms per gross acre or 75 rooms per lot or parcel existing on the date of
Low Density
adoption of the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan (or for amended areas, the date of the
adoption of the specific plan amendment), whichever is greater.
SECTION 2_
That Section 3.3.2 of the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan be amended to read in its entireity
as follows:
3.3.2 Commercial Recreation (C-R) District Development Density
The ARSP establishes five density designations in the C-R District (Development Area 1)
that will help assure that development of the area will be compatible with proposed
infrastructure and with the goal to protect surrounding residential uses. These density
designations are based upon hotel/motel development and allow up to 20% of each
hotel/motel project gross square footage, excluding parking facilities, to be developed with
integrated (i.e., included within the main hotel/motel complex) accessory uses. These
accessory uses will reduce the otherwise maximum permitted hotel/motel density at the rate
of one hotel/motel room per six hundred (600) gross square feet of accessory use. For
properties proposed to be developed with permitted and conditionally permitted uses other
than hotels/motels with accessory uses, the traffic generation characteristics of said uses shall
not exceed those associated with the other -wise permitted hotel/motel (including accessory
uses) density as determined by the Planning Director or designee prior to Final Site Plan
review and approval.
The five density categories established by the plan are:
• Low Density (up to 50 hotel rooms/acre)
• Low- Medium Density (up to 75 hotel rooms/acre)
• Low -Medium Density (Modified) (up to 252 rooms and 75,593 square feet of accessory uses)
Up to 75 rooms per gross acre or 75 rooms per lot or parcel existing on the date of
Low -Medium
adoption of the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan, whichever is greater, except that for
Density
that area identified in Ordinance No. 5694 as Area 8, the maximum density shall be
75 rooms per gross acre.
Low -Medium
Up to 252 rooms and 75,593 square feet of accessory uses.
Density (Modified)
Medium Density
Up to 100 rooms per gross acre or 75 rooms per lot or parcel existing on the date of
adoption of the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan, whichever is greater.
Medium Density
Up to 345 rooms
(Modified)
Convention Center
Up to 125 rooms per gross acre (with trip generation characteristics mitigated to the
(CC) Medium
equivalent of 100 rooms per gross) or 75 rooms per lot or parcel existing on the date
Density
of adoption of the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan, whichever is greater.
SECTION 2_
That Section 3.3.2 of the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan be amended to read in its entireity
as follows:
3.3.2 Commercial Recreation (C-R) District Development Density
The ARSP establishes five density designations in the C-R District (Development Area 1)
that will help assure that development of the area will be compatible with proposed
infrastructure and with the goal to protect surrounding residential uses. These density
designations are based upon hotel/motel development and allow up to 20% of each
hotel/motel project gross square footage, excluding parking facilities, to be developed with
integrated (i.e., included within the main hotel/motel complex) accessory uses. These
accessory uses will reduce the otherwise maximum permitted hotel/motel density at the rate
of one hotel/motel room per six hundred (600) gross square feet of accessory use. For
properties proposed to be developed with permitted and conditionally permitted uses other
than hotels/motels with accessory uses, the traffic generation characteristics of said uses shall
not exceed those associated with the other -wise permitted hotel/motel (including accessory
uses) density as determined by the Planning Director or designee prior to Final Site Plan
review and approval.
The five density categories established by the plan are:
• Low Density (up to 50 hotel rooms/acre)
• Low- Medium Density (up to 75 hotel rooms/acre)
• Low -Medium Density (Modified) (up to 252 rooms and 75,593 square feet of accessory uses)
• Medium Density (up to 100 hotel rooms/acre)
• Medium Density (Modified) (up to 345 rooms)
• Convention Center Medium Density (up to 125 hotel rooms/acre provided the trip generation
characteristics are equivalent to 100 hotel rooms/acre)
Exhibit 3.3-2, the C-R District Development Density Plan, identifies the location of each
density designation within the C-R District.
The areas with the Low Density designation are generally located where planned future
infrastructure improvements will not support more intense development, or which are located
further from the area's attractions. Areas with the Low -Medium and Medium Density
designations are located where planned future infrastructure will be sufficient to
accommodate these more intense levels of development, and which are located closer to the
main attractions of The Anaheim Resort. Areas immediately adjacent to the Anaheim
Convention Center have the Convention Center Medium designation in recognition that
guests at these hotels typically do not have automobiles and, therefore, place fewer demands
on area streets, one of the most important infrastructure factors that tend to limit development
density. In addition, the Low Medium (Modified) density designation allows 252 hotel rooms
and 75,593 square feet of commercial uses, which is equivalent to 378 hotel rooms, at the
southeast corner of Katella Avenue and Harbor Boulevard and the Medium Density
(Modified) density designation allows up to 345 rooms or its equivalent on South Manchester
Avenue.
SECTION 3.
That Exhibit 3.3-2 of the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan be replaced with Exhibit "B"
attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 4. SEVERABILITY
The City Council of the City of Anaheim hereby declares that should any section, paragraph,
subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this ordinance hereby adopted be declared for any
reason invalid or unconstitutional by the final judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, it is the
intent of the City Council that it would have adopted all other portions of this ordinance independent of
the elimination herefrom of any such portion as may be declared invalid or unconstitutional. The City
Council of the City of Anaheim hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance and each
section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or
more sections, subsection, sentence clause, phrases or portions be declared valid or unconstitutionally.
