.010 Purpose. To permit the maximum amount of development in The Platinum
Triangle consistent with the General Plan and the infrastructure capacity analyzed by EIR
No. 330, SEIR No. 332, EIR No. 335 and SEIR No. 334, the PTMU Overlay Zone
establishes land use intensities for each of the following development districts: Arena
District, ARTIC District, Gateway District, Gene Autry District, Katella District,
Orangewood District, Stadium District and the Office District. The boundaries of the
development districts are depicted in The Platinum Triangle Master Land Use Plan,
which boundaries are incorporated herein by this reference.
.020 Table 20-D (Development Intensities: The Platinum Triangle Mixed Use
(PTMU) Overlay Zone) indicates the maximum land use intensities analyzed by EIR No.
330, SEIR No. 332, EIR No. 335 and SEIR No. 334. The Planning Department will
maintain an accounting of the total number of dwelling units and the total amount of
square footage approved within each district. Development shall not exceed the overall
total land use intensity for the PTMU Overlay Zone or the intensity identified for each
district, unless a dwelling unit transfer is approved in accordance with Section
18.20.040.030 (Dwelling Unit Transfer), provided, however that land uses may be
converted to another type of land use in a district if the environmental impacts of the
conversion are within the parameters of SEIR No. 334, as substantiated by additional
analysis approved by the City Engineer and Planning Director and subject to the approval
of the Planning Director in connection with the approval of the Final Site Plan.
.030 Dwelling Unit Transfer. A request for approval of a dwelling unit transfer
shall be submitted to the Planning Department for review and approval by the City in
accordance with the following:
-15- PC2007-151

.0301 A transfer of dwelling units from the Stadium District to the Katella, Gene
Autry, Gateway Districts shall be permitted subject to approval of the Planning
Commission and the City Council at noticed public hearings, provided that the Planning
Commission's decision shall be in the form of a recommendation to the City Council and
provided that the applicant demonstrates the following:
.O1 That the transferred units are proposed to be located within the density
transfer boundaries indicated in Figure A of the Platinum Triangle Supplement Sewer
Study, dated April, 2007 as it may be amended, on file in the City, or other areas in the
Katella, Gene Autry, Gateway and Orangewood Districts where environmental impacts
are within the parameters of SEIR No. 334, as substantiated by additional analysis
approved by the City Engineer and Planning Director.
.02 That the request for the dwelling unit transfer shall be submitted by a
verified owner of property where the units are proposed to be located and that the request
shall be accompanied by a fee as prescribed in Chapter 18.80 (Fees), no part of which
shall be returnable to the applicant except as set forth in Section 118.60.070 (Withdrawal
of Application).
.03 That the density of the property where the units are proposed to be located
are set forth by District in Appendix G of The Platinum Triangle Master Land Use Plan.
.04 That the dwelling unit transfer request has been submitted concurrently
with the processing of a development agreement prepared pursuant to Section
18.20.185.020 (Development Agreement) and that the final site plan or master site plan,
attached as an exhibit to the development agreement, incorporates the transferred units
and has been prepared in compliance with the PTMU Overlay Zone.
.0302 That issuance of grading and building permits and approval of subdivision
plans for projects incorporating an approved dwelling unit transfer, shall only be
permitted if there is a valid development agreement recorded on the property.
.0303 That if the development agreement were to expire or be terminated or
otherwise determined invalid, no permits, including but not limited to, grading and
building permits, shall be issued for the transferred units or subdivision plans approved
for the transferred units, until such time as the property owner amends the development
agreement or enters into another development agreement incorporating the transferred
units.
.0304 The transfer of dwelling units may be subject to additional criteria as
established by the City.

1 bedroom 1.5 spaces
2 bedroom 2.0 spaces
3 bedroom 2.5 spaces
4 bedroom 3.5 spaces
.0102 Number of Spaces for Non-Residential Uses. The number of parking
spaces for non-residential uses shall be determined by the type of use (use class) specified
in Table 42-A (Non-Residential Parking Requirements) of Chapter 18.42 (Parking and
Loading).
.0103 Number of Spaces for Mixed-Use Projects. Due to variations in parking
demand and the needs of each project, vehicle parking requirements, the demand for
drop-off and pick-up locations and the design of the parking areas, including ingress and
egress, shall be determined as part of the final site plan review process by the City Traffic
and Transportation Manager based upon information contained in a parking demand
study prepared by an independent traffic engineer, as approved by the City Traffic and
Transportation Manager. The parking demand study shall be prepared at the property
owner/developer's expense and provided as part of the final site plan application.
.0104 On-Street Parking. Parking located on a private or public street directly in
front of a use may be considered for parking credit; providing a parking management
plan is approved by the City Engineer, which adequately addresses how parking will be
limited to the use that it is intended to serve.
.0105 Tandem Parking. Tandem Parking may be permitted in conjunction with
subterranean parking and tuck-under buildings, where both spaces are assigned to the
same designated dwelling unit.
.0106 Valet Parking. Valet parking may be permitted in conjunction with
subterranean parking, provided valet services are provided for and managed by an on-site
management company or homeowner's association.
.0107 Drop-off and Pick-Up Locations. Drop-off and pick-up locations shall be
incorporated into the design of parking areas, and the number, location and design shall
