Public Hearing Item:
ITEM NO. 1 ZONING CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2020-00171 DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT NO. 2020-00002 (DEV2020-00127)
Related to the Development of The Angel Stadium
Property
Location: 2000 Gene Autry Way Request: The applicant requests approval of a Zoning Code
Amendment and Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) for the development of the Stadium District Sub-Area A Project (Angel Stadium Property). The Zoning Code Amendment would
modify Title 18 (Zoning Code) of Anaheim Municipal Code to permit Stadium and Sports Arena Complexes within the Arena and Stadium Districts of the Platinum Triangle Mixed Use Overlay Zone, subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The DDA would be between the City of Anaheim and SRB
Management, LLC to purchase and develop the Angel Stadium Property. The DDA includes a Master Site Plan that provides the framework for the development of the site with a mixed-use community of up to 5,175 residential dwelling units, 1.75 million square feet of commercial uses (including up to 943 new hotel
rooms), 2.7 million square feet of office space, public parks up to 13.2 acres, and a site for a fire station. The proposed project provides for the retention and maintenance of the existing 45,500-seat Angel Stadium, with an option for the applicant to replace the
existing stadium with a new stadium of the same approximate size and seating capacity. Environmental Determination: The Planning Commission will
consider whether a Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment (SCEA) is the appropriate environmental documentation for this request under the California Environmental Quality Act.
