WHEREAS, the City Council finds, after careful consideration of the action of the

1. That the proposed building heights of up to 400 feet on the subject property
as identified in the staff report dated September 27, 2(105 for six (6) of the fifteen (15) Development
.tirea; are proper subjects for which a conditional use permit is authorized by Anaheim Municipal
C: ode Section 18.20.050.
2. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the adjoining land uses or the
~trowth and development of the area because the residential towers with building heights of up to
4()U feet would be part of a new comprehensively planned community with careful consideration
given to building mass and potential shade and shadow impacts; and the additional height would
achieve a project that is compatible and consistent with the General Plan Mixed-Use land use
designation and The Platinum Triangle Master Land Use Plan (PTMLUP).
:i. That the size and shape of the site proposed for the use ,is adequate to allow
the full development of the proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area or to
health and safety. The Master Site Plan encompasses approximately 41 acres with careful
consideration of building placement and distribution of residential density throughout the site.
4. The proposed maximum heights have been analyzed in The Platinum
Triangle Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report No. 332 and found to have no adverse
impact on either adjoining land uses or the growth and development of the area with the imposition
of a mitigation measure from the Updated and Modified Mitigation Monitoring Program No. 106A
requiring a shadelshadow study to mitigate impacts to shadow sensitive receptors (i.e., residential,
recreational, outdoor restaurants and pedestrian areas); and, further that said measure has been made
a part of Mitigation Monitoring Plan No. 138 relating to the proposed project as fully described in
Development Agreement No. 2005-00008.
5. The Platinum Triangle Master Land Use Plan provides for a dynamic mix of
land uses and upscale, high-density urban housing at densities of up to 100 dwelling units/acre.
6. That the granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed
will nc.~t be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of Anaheim.
7. The incorporation of towers into the design of the master planned community
does not result in an increase in density beyond which is currently permitted by the General Plan.

Anaheim that, for the reasons hereinabove stated, Conditional Use Permit No. 2005-04999 be, and
