RESOLUTION NO. PC2022-064
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF ANAHEIM RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVE AND ADOPT PROPOSED
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2021-06111 AND MAKING
CERTAIN FINDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
(DEV2020-00127A)
(2000 EAST GENE AUTRY DRIVE)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim (the “Planning
Commission”) did receive a verified petition for the approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2021-
06111 to permit the continued operation of the “Angel Stadium of Anaheim” (“Angel Stadium”),
including events within the stadium and on the property, sale and consumption of alcoholic
beverages, and a coordinated sign program for that certain real property of approximately 152
acres of land located at 2000 East Gene Autry Way in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange,
State of California, as generally depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated
herein by this reference (the “Property”); and
WHEREAS, the Property is located within the Platinum Triangle area, and is currently
improved with an approximately 45,500 seat stadium known as “Angel Stadium of Anaheim”
(“Angel Stadium”), an approximately 1,700 person capacity performance venue known as City
National Grove of Anaheim (City National Grove) and associated surface parking lots; and
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,
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 has approved several actions relating to the area
encompassed by the Platinum Triangle; and
WHEREAS, on July 9, 1996, the City Council certified Final Environmental Impact Report
(FEIR) No. 320 (State Clearinghouse No. 95041029) and adopted Area Development Plan No.
120 for the portion of the Angel Stadium property associated with the Sportstown Development.
Area Development Plan No. 120 permitted up to 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, the renovated Angel Stadium, and the Stadium Gateway Office
Building were developed/renovated under this plan; and
WHEREAS, on March 2, 1999, the City Council adopted the Anaheim Stadium Area
Master Land Use Plan (MLUP). The boundaries for the Anaheim Stadium Area MLUP were
generally the same as those for the Platinum Triangle, with the exception that this MLUP included
15 acres adjacent to I-5 that are not a part of the current Platinum Triangle boundaries. As part of
the aproval process for the Anaheim Stadium Area MLUP, the City Council also certified FEIR
-2- PC2022-064
No. 321 (State Clearinghouse No. 9611041) and adopted the Mitigation Monitoring Program No.
106. Development within the Anaheim Stadium Area was implemented through the Sports
Entertainment (SE) Overlay Zone, which permitted existing 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 an increase of 1,871,285 square feet of new office
space, 4.52,026 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 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 intensity for the Platinum Triangle to be 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/seating 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,” State Clearinghouse No. 2003041105),
which was prepared for the General Plan and Zoning Code Update and associated actions, analyzed
the above development intensities on a citywide impact level and adopted mitigation monitoring
programs, including an Updated and Modified Mitigation Monitoring Program No. 106 for the
Platinum Triangle; and
WHEREAS, on August 17, 2004, in order to provide the implementation tools necessary
to realize the City’s new vision for the Platinum Triangle, the City Council replaced the Anaheim
Stadium Area MLUP with the Platinum Triangle Master Land Use Plan (the “PTMLUP”),
replaced the SE Overlay Zone with the PTMU Overlay Zone, approved the form of the
Standardized Platinum Triangle Development Agreement, and approved associated zoning
reclassifications. Under these updated zoning regulations, property owners desiring to develop
under the PTMU Overlay Zone provisions are required to enter into a standardized Development
Agreement with the City; and
WHEREAS, on October 25, 2005, the City Council adopted and certified the Final
Subsequent Environmental Impact Report No. 332 (“FSEIR No. 332,” State Clearinghouse No.
2004121045), including an Updated and Modified Mitigation Monitoring Program No. 106A to
provide for the implementation of the PTMLUP and associated actions, which used the certified
FEIR No. 321 and Mitigation Monitoring Program No. 106. The land use actions associated with
FSEIR No. 332 collectively increased the allowable development intensity 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, 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
-3- PC2022-064
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, on December 11, 2007, the City Council certified Final Subsequent
Environmental Impact Report No. 334 ("FSEIR No. 334") adopting a Statement of Findings of
Fact, a Statement of Overriding Considerations, and the Updated and Modified Mitigation
Monitoring Program No. 106A in conjunction with its consideration and approval of a series of
actions in order to provide for the implementation of the PTMLUP and approval of the Platinum
Triangle Expansion Project; and
WHEREAS, following the approval of FSEIR No. 334, a lawsuit was filed by the Citizens
for Responsible Equitable Environmental Development and the Orange County Communities
Organized for Responsible Development challenging the adequacy of FSEIR No. 334. The City
Council thereafter repealed the approval of the Platinum Triangle Expansion Project 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 October 26, 2010, the City Council approved the Revised Platinum
Triangle Expansion Project, which included amendments to the General Plan, the PTMLUP and
the PTMU Overlay Zone, and related zoning reclassifications to increase the allowable
development intensities within the PTMU Overlay Zone up to 18,909 residential units, 14,340,522
square feet of office uses, 4,909,682 square feet of commercial uses, and 1,500,000 square feet of
institutional uses. Before approving said amendments and zoning reclassifications, the City
Council approved and certified the "Revised Platinum Triangle Expansion Project Subsequent
Environmental Impact Report No. 339" for the Revised Platinum Triangle Expansion Project,
including Updated and Modified Mitigation Monitoring Plan No. 106C (collectively referred to
herein as "FSEIR No. 339"); and
WHEREAS, the City Council has approved eight addenda to address modifications to the
Revised Platinum Triangle Expansion Project; and
WHEREAS, Addendum No. 1 to FSEIR No. 339, dated April 2012 (“Addendum No. 1”)
was adopted by the City Council in connection with the Katella Avenue/Interstate 5 Undercrossing
Improvement Project, which included widening of Katella Avenue at the undercrossing with I-5
between Anaheim Way and Manchester Avenue and creating a fourth through lane of traffic in
each direction of travel. Maintain dual left-turn pockets at both intersections; and
WHEREAS, Addendum No. 2 to FSEIR No. 339, dated December 2012 (“Addendum No.

style residential building with 399 dwelling units, a five-story parking structure, and a public park
on a 7.01-acre parcel commonly known as 905-917 East Katella Avenue (“Platinum Gateway
-4- PC2022-064
Project”). This project included amendments to the General Plan and the PTMLUP to increase the
total number of dwelling units to 18,988 dwelling units, reduce the commercial square footage to
4,795,111 square feet, reduce the office square footage to 14,131,103 square feet, and maintain the
same square footage for institutional uses at 1,500,000 square feet; and
WHEREAS, Addendum No. 3 to FSEIR No. 339, dated August 2014 (“Addendum No. 4”)
was adopted by the City Council in connection with the development of a five-story wrap - style
residential apartment building with 389 units and a six-story parking structure on a 4.13-acre parcel
commonly known as 1005-1105 East Katella Avenue (“Platinum Vista Project”). This project
included amendments to the General Plan and the PTMLUP to allow up to 19,027 dwelling units,
reduce the commercial square footage to 4,735,111 square feet, and maintain the same square
footage of office uses and institutional uses at 14,131,103 square feet and 1,500,000 square feet
respectively; and
WHEREAS, Addendum No. 4 to FSEIR No. 339, dated October 2015 (“Addendum No.
5”) was adopted by the City Council in connection with the revisions to a master planned mixed-
use project on a 43.1-acre property commonly known as 1404 East Katella Avenue to permit
between 1,400 and 1,746 residential units, between 38,000 and 50,000 square feet of commercial
uses, two public parks and a network of local streets ("A-Town Project"). This project amended
the PTMU Overlay Zone to modify the requirement for ground floor commercial uses on Market
Street, clarify that ground floor commercial uses are required on Gene Autry Way east of Union
Street, and expand the size of the Gene Autry District from 33 acres to 43 acres as part of a revised
project design for the A-Town Project located at State College Boulevard immediately north of
Gene Autry Way; and
WHEREAS, Addendum No. 5 to FSEIR No. 339, dated June 2016 (“Addendum No. 5”)
was adopted by the City Council in connection with the development of a mixed-use community
with 1,079 residential apartments (including 12 live/work units), 14,600 sf of retail uses, and a
1.11-acre public park on a 17.5-acre property located at the southwest corner of State College
Boulevard and Gene Autry Way (“Jefferson Stadium Park Project”). This project included
amendments to the General Plan and the PTMLUP to relocate and combine two park sites into one
park site and designate previous park site to a mixed-use designation, reconfigure internal streets,
and to reduce the allowable residential units to 18,909, increase the allowable commercial uses to
4,909,682 square feet, increase the allowable offices uses to 14,340,522 square feet, and maintain

square feet of office uses on a 14.8-acre property located on the northeast corner of Orangewood
Avenue and State College Boulevard (“LT Platinum Center Project”). This project included
amendments to the General Plan and the PTMLUP to revise the district boundaries to change the
LT Platinum Center Project site from the Gateway District to the Stadium District and created
three Sub-Areas for the Stadium District, including placing the Property into Sub-Area A and
changed the allowable development intensity on the Project Site (Sub-Area A) to 5,175 dwelling
units, 3,095,000 square feet commercial development, 2,832,300 square feet office development
and stadiums with up to 119,543 seats. The Addendum also studied the modification of density
provisions in the Platinum Triangle Area, designated for mixed-use land uses, to reduce the
maximum dwelling units to 17,348 units, increase the maximum commercial uses to 4,782,243
square feet, reduce the maximum office space to 9,180,747 square feet, and remove the designation
-5- PC2022-064
of a public park from the site. The Anaheim Traffic Analysis Model (ATAM) was updated as a
result of the transfer of land use density and the General Plan Build-out Year traffic volumes were
reanalyzed. The Platinum Triangle Improvement Plan was updated as a result of this analysis; and
WHEREAS, Addendum No. 7 to FSEIR No. 339, dated March 2017 (“Addendum No. 7”)
was adopted by the City Council in connection with the widening of Gene Autry Way from four
lanes to six lanes with medians and storm drain and stormwater improvements; widening of the

WHEREAS, in conformance with CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines and the City’s Procedures,
and prior to approving the Stadium Project, the City Council adopted its Resolution No. 2020-116
approving a Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment (State Clearing House No.
2020079026) (the “SCEA,”) and Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP 106D) pursuant to
California Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 21155.2 (b)) based on an Infill Project Checklist
PRC Section 21094.5, CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.3 and Appendices M and N, and on the

collectively as the "CEQA Documents"; and
-6- PC2022-064
WHEREAS, Conditional Use Permit No. 2021-06111 is proposed in conjunction
with (i) Tentative Tract Map No. 19146 to permit the subdivision and redevelopment of the Angel
Stadium of Anaheim property by creating lots for future mixed-use development areas, the
stadium, public park sites, private street system, condominium air space for individual ownership
of residential or commercial units and common ownership of associated landscape, private
recreation, and parking and access drive areas; (iii) Conditional Use Permit No. 2021-06116 to
permit the continued operation of the City National Grove of Anaheim, including concerts and
events, sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages, and a coordinated sign program; and (iii)
Amendment No. 1 to the DDA. Conditional Use Permit No. 2021-06111, Tentative Tract Map No.
19146, and Conditional Use Permit No. 2021-06116 shall be referred to herein collectively as the
"Proposed Project";
WHEREAS, in conformance with CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines, and the City's CEQA
Procedures, the Planning Commission finds and determines that, based upon a thorough review of
proposed Amendment No. 1, the CEQA Documents, and the Appendix N Checklist prepared
pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060 and 15183.3 to evaluate the Proposed Project, the
CEQA Documents serve as the appropriate environmental documentation for the Proposed Project
and satisfy all the requirements of CEQA such that no further environmental documentation needs
to be prepared under CEQA at this time because the Proposed Project will not result in new or
substantially more severe significant effects than those previously identified and analyzed in the
approved SCEA, and will implement the mitigation measures identified in Mitigation Monitoring
Program 106D such that the Proposed Project will not substantially increase the severity of
significant impacts identified in the SCEA that may cause substantial adverse effects on human
beings either directly or indirectly;
WHEREAS, the City intends and desires to use the SCEA as the environmental
documentation required by CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines and the City's CEQA Procedure Manual
for the Proposed Project; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at the Civic Center in the
City of Anaheim on May 9, 2022, 5:00 p.m., notice of said 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 and testimony for and against the Proposed Project and to investigate and
make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, after due inspection, investigation and study made
by itself and in its behalf, and after due consideration of all evidence and reports offered at said
hearing with respect to the request to permit Conditional Use Permit No. 2021-06111 on the
Property does find and determine the following facts:
1. The request to permit the Proposed Project is an allowable use within the "PTMU
"Platinum Triangle Mixed-Use Overlay Zone” under subsection .060 of Section 18.20.030 (Uses)
of Chapter 18.20 (Platinum Triangle Mixed-Use Overlay Zone) of the Code, subject to the zoning
and development standards of the "PTMU" Platinum Triangle Mixed-Use Overlay Zone. Pursuant
to the code amendment approved by the City Council in 2021, the Angel Stadium and City
National Grove venues are authorized subject to approval of a CUP, the sale of alcoholic beverages
is permitted in the PTMU Overlay Zone with approval of a CUP, and a CSP is required for
properties with an area of more than 40,000 square feet. Although CSPs for developments in the
Platinum Triangle can be reviewed and approved by the Planning Director, the Director may refer
an application to the Planning Commission when it is determined that the general public interest
-7- PC2022-064
warrants such referral. Because the coordinated sign programs have been submitted in conjunction
with a TTM and two CUP’s to permit and retain the Angel Stadium and City National Grove
venues, the Planning Director has elected to refer them to the Planning Commission for review as
part of the conditional use permit application; and
2. The request to permit the Proposed Project would not adversely affect the adjoining
land uses, or the growth and development of the area in which it is proposed to be located because
the continued operation of Angels Stadium, including the sale of alcoholic beverages and the
continuation of signage through a CSP, will not adversely affect adjoining land uses, subject to the
conditions of approval contained in the draft resolution; and
3. The size and shape of the site is adequate to allow the full development of the
Proposed Project in a manner not detrimental to either the particular area or health and safety
because the continued operation of Angels Stadium venue, including the sale of alcoholic
beverages and the continuation of signage through a CSP, subject to the conditions of approval
contained in the draft resolutions, would continue to be operated in a manner not detrimental to
either the particular area or health and safety; and
4. That the Proposed Project will not impose an undue burden upon the streets and
highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area because a traffic study was
prepared for the TTM and CUP’s, and the study concluded that, with implementation of the
mitigation measures and uniformly applicable development policies, the Proposed Project would
not substantially increase the severity of significant traffic impacts identified in City prior EIRs;
and
5. The granting of the conditional use permit will not be detrimental to the health and
safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim because Conditional Use Permit No. 2021-06111
would further the objectives of the Platinum Triangle Mixed Use Overlay Zone, subject to
compliance with the conditions contained herein.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, after due inspection, investigation and study made
by itself and in its behalf, and after due consideration of all evidence and reports offered at said
hearing with respect to the request to permit a coordinated sign program for all existing
freestanding and Stadium-mounted signs on the Property does find and determine the following
facts:
1. The signs must be part of a coordinated sign program;
2. The signs must complement the architecture of the entertainment venues and
provide a unifying element along the streetscape; and
3. The size, scale and style of the signs shall be internally consistent and consistent
with the scale of the entertainment venues and the surrounding land uses.
The CSP for Angel Stadium will continue to complement the architecture of their respective
entertainment venues, provide a unifying element along the streetscape, and are internally
consistent and consistent with their respective venues and surrounding uses in terms of their size,
scale, and style.
-8- PC2022-064
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, after due inspection, investigation and study made
by itself and in its behalf, and after due consideration of all evidence and reports offered at said
hearing with respect to the request to permit the continuation and alteration of a legally
nonconforming billboard on the Property does find and determine the following facts:
1. That the proposed modifications to the sign do not increase the height or area
of sign copy and bring the sign closer to conformity with the code;
2. That the changes proposed improve the aesthetics of the sign; and
3. That the granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed, if
any, will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of
Anaheim
The continued use and renovation of the Angel Stadium billboard provides a unique opportunity
to complement existing on-site and off-site advertising structures at the adjacent sports and
entertainment venues and develop a sense of excitement and energy that would not be suitable on
other properties in the area. In addition, the renovation would not increase the sign height or area
and would improve the aesthetics of the sign.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission 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 Planning Commission 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, the Planning Commission does recommend City Council approval of Conditional
Use Permit No. 2021-06111, contingent upon and subject to: (1) adoption of an ordinance
approving Amendment No. 1 to Disposition and Development Agreement No. 2020-00002; (2)
the adoption of a resolution approving Tentative Tract Map No. 19146; and (3) the adoption of a
resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2021-06116, now pending; and (4) the
conditions of approval set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this
reference, which are hereby found to be a necessary prerequisite to the proposed use of the Property
in order to preserve the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Anaheim.
Extensions for further time to complete said conditions of approval may be granted in accordance
with Section 18.60.170 of the Code. Timing for compliance with conditions of approval may be
amended by the Planning Director upon a showing of good cause provided (i) equivalent timing is
established that satisfies the original intent and purpose of the condition (s), (ii) the modification
complies with the Code, and (iii) the applicant has demonstrated significant progress toward
establishment of the use or approved development.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does hereby find and
determine that adoption of this Resolution is expressly predicated upon applicant's compliance
with each and all of the conditions hereinabove set forth. Should any such condition, or any part
thereof, be declared invalid or unenforceable by the final judgment of any court of competent
-9- PC2022-064
jurisdiction, then this Resolution, and any approvals herein contained, shall be deemed null and
void.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that approval of this application constitutes approval
of the proposed request only to the extent that it complies with the Code and any other applicable
City, State and Federal regulations. Approval does not include any action or findings as to
compliance or approval of the request regarding any other applicable ordinance, regulation or
requirement.
