CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING
OCTOBER 25, 2005
The City Council of the City of Anaheim met in regular session on October 25, 2005 at 3:10 P.M. in
the Council Chambers of Anaheim City Hall, 200 South Anaheim Boulevard.
PRESENT: Mayor Curt Pringle, Council Members: Richard Chavez, Lorri Galloway, Bob
Hernandez and Harry Sidhu
STAFF PRESENT: City Manager Dave Morgan, City Attorney Jack White, and City Clerk Sheryll
Schroeder
A copy of the agenda for the meeting of the Anaheim City Council was posted on October 21, 2005
at the City Hall exterior bulletin board.
PLATINUM TRIANGLE STREETSCAPING PLAN WORKSHOP (P100)
Sheri Vander Dussen, Planning Director, reminded Council that the Platinum Triangle Master Land
Use Plan provided for a dynamic mix of uses and high density urban housing with a carefully
planned network of pedestrian walkways, streetscape improvements and recreation spaces and
the streetscape plan was to signify entrance into the Platinum Triangle and create a distinctive
character for each street while contributing towards a vibrant, pedestrian urban environment
Mayor Pringle confirmed that the landscape plan had been approved by Council at the time the
Platinum Triangle Master Land Use Plan was adopted. Ms. Vander Dussen replied the plan had
been approved but the actual variety of tree and plant material could be modified due to cost or
availability of materials at the time of installation. If any substantial changes were needed that
would result in a different concept, she explained, the modified concept would return to Council
before implementation.
Providing details on the various streetscapes, Ms. Vander Dussen began with Katella Avenue, the
core of the new mixed use area with most residents and visitors to the Platinum Triangle arriving
on this street which provided access to Angel Stadium, the Grove, the Arrowhead Pond and the
proposed ARTIC Station. She indicated the existing streetscape did not have a landscaped
median or any consistent parkway treatments and contained noticeable overhead electrical lights
and pointed out the approved landscape concept would make a bold palm grove landscape
statement with palm trees and flowering shrubs similar to the treatment of Katella Avenue in the
Anaheim Resort west of the 5 Freeway. Between the 5 Freeway and east of State College
Boulevard, there would be a single row of date palms in the median island and a single row of
palms in the parkway, and a white or purple flowering shrub would be planted in the parkway. She
added flowering vines such as bougainvillea would be planted adjacent to the trunk of each palm
tree along with a complementary orange or yellow flowering shrub and as development occurred
on Katella, a second row of matching palms would be added in the private setback area. In
addition, adjacent to ground floor commercial uses, the setback area would be paved to provide for
more pedestrian access and uses such as outdoor dining. She pointed out the landscaping for
Katella would change near the railroad grade separation and further east to the city limits and
along this section of Katella, the date palms in the parkway would be replaced with Mexican fan

palms and palm trees would not be required in the setback area. She pointed out these concepts
would provide for a grand entrance to the City and would visually link the Platinum Triangle and the
Anaheim Resort.
For State College Boulevard, the landscape treatment would extend from Cerritos Avenue to the
north and to the southern City boundary. Ms. Vander Dussen indicated the east side of the
existing street had landscaped parkways with Mexican fan palms and canopy trees along a portion
of the street with an entry treatment at the intersection with Orangewood Avenue but that the
majority of the street did not have any landscaped parkways or medians. She noted the primary
planned landscape treatment consisted of Mexican fan palms, a flowering tree such as the Golden
Trumpet tree, Camphor trees and low flowering groundcover. Mayor Pringle asked if the Golden
Trumpet tree was used thematically in any other street and Ms. Vander Dussen responded that
information would be researched and provided. She added the parkways would be planted with
Mexican fan palms alternated with a flowering canopy tree and that the median island would
contain a single row of Camphor trees and low flowering groundcover which would also would be
planted in the parkways. Again, to encourage pedestrian access to this area, she pointed out the
setback area could be paved adjacent to ground floor commercial uses.
For Gene Autry Way, a major entrance to Anaheim Stadium, Ms. Vander Dussen reported the
landscape treatment would extend from State College Boulevard to the bridge crossing the 5
Freeway. She pointed out the existing street did not have sidewalks and a combination of large
eucalyptus trees and canopy trees had been planted along the roadway, however the landscape
concept called for large canopy trees such as the Crepe Myrtle tree, Mexican fan palms and
flowering shrubs such as orange day lilies.
In connection with the Platinum Triangle Subsequent EIR, Ms. Vander Dussen remarked staff was
proposing a minor 4.5 foot increase to the right-of-way width on both sides of the street between
State College Boulevard and Betmor Lane, an amendment Council would consider this evening.
This extra width would increase the parkway width from five to seven feet and would widen the
sidewalk from five to 7.5 feet to better accommodate future pedestrian access, she noted staff was
also proposing the landscape plan be slightly modified to provide for canopy trees to be planted in
the median island and in the parkways along with yellow day lilies. The Mexican fan palms with
flowering vines would be located in the setback area to create a more pedestrian friendly
environment offering more shade for residents and visitors to this area while still retaining the
dramatic skyline effect.
The next street, Orangewood Avenue, stated Ms. Vander Dussen, would have landscape
treatment from the I-5 Freeway to the 57 Freeway. The existing street had limited landscape
treatment, with some trees in the parkway and a landscape entry statement near State College
Boulevard, however, the approved landscape plan for this street, she explained, included Mexican
fan palms, a flowering canopy tree such as the Tipu tree, which is found in the Resort area on
Harbor Boulevard, and low flowering shrubs such as Natal Plum. The parkways would be planted
with alternating Mexican fan palms and the flowering Tipu tree and the Tipu tree would also be
planted in the median. Additionally, Natal plum shrubs would be planted in the parkways and
medians and a vine such as Boston Ivy would be planted at the base of the palm trees. Again,
stated Ms. Vander Dussen, the setback area adjacent to ground floor commercial uses could be
paved to provide better pedestrian access. Mayor Pringle asked if the portion of Orangewood
Avenue in the City of Orange would have compatible landscape treatment. Russ Maguire, Deputy
City Engineer, remarked that by past action, the City of Orange chose not to have parkway or
street landscaping as they set their building development too close and did not want to consider
ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
October 25, 2005

either a median island on State College or parkway landscaping on either the west side of State
College south of Orangewood or the southside of Orangewood. Mayor Pringle requested staff
contact the City of Orange again particularly addressing the question of the median island. The
City Manager indicated his office would assist Public Works and get in touch with the City of
Orange with that request. Mayor Pringle also brought up two concerns related to the landscape
concept for Orangewood, specifically objecting to the Natal plum and Boston ivy, suggesting
bougainvillea or other flowering shrubs in their place and Ms. Vander Dussen concurred.
As new connector streets were developed, magnolia trees would be planted along the ends of the
streets, primarily in tree wells or they could be planted in parkways with turf and groundcover
depending on whether the adjoining developer chooses to provide on street parking. This concept
was to provide a unifying element to all of the new neighborhoods along the connector streets.
The final street, Market Street, would be landscaped between Katella Avenue and Gene Autry Way
and would consist of a large canopy tree such as the London Plane tree, planted in tree grates in
the parkway. According to Ms. Vander Dussen, ground floor commercial uses were required along
the full length of Market Street so the setback area could be paved to provide extra room for
pedestrian activity and outdoor eating areas as well as access to the new commercial uses.
Angled parking would be provided on the west side of the street with additional canopy trees and
landscaped fingers with low shrubs or ground cover and parallel parking would be provided on the
east side of the street.
Along with the landscaping treatment in the Triangle would be complementary streetscape fixtures,
many of the same type of streetscape fixtures found in the Anaheim Resort, commented Ms.
Vander Dussen. In addition, Anaheim Resort light standard with banners would be used
throughout the Platinum Triangle with the exception of Market Street and on the connector streets,
which would use a more pedestrian-oriented acorn light. The standard bus shelter used
throughout the city would also be used in the Platinum Triangle as well as the same type of
newspaper racks and directional signage presently used in the Anaheim Resort.
Russ Maguire, Deputy City Engineer, reported once the overall program was adopted as part of
the General Plan, Public Works was requested to be the lead on two main elements, the
implementation plan for the Public Works backbone facilities (arterials and everything in the
arterials, including streetscape, sewers, storm drains, etc.) and a feasibility study for funding both
the construction and maintenance of those improvements. He commented a workshop had been
set for December 20th for the implementation plan which would describe all the improvements and
their costs and schedule as well as the feasibility for funding the construction and maintenance of
the improvements.
Mayor Pringle confirmed with Ms. Vander Dussen that every development agreement executed by
a developer in the Platinum Triangle contemplated the formation of a district to fund the
improvements and property owners gave up their right to contest the formation of that district.
Mayor Pringle asked if a preliminary schedule for the improvements would be provided at the
workshop; Mr. Maguire indicated there would be a schedule with a suggested priority for all public
works improvements but it would not address the proposed fire station. Mayor Pringle asked the
City Manager when future fire needs would be considered and Mr. Morgan recommended that
discussion be added to the December 20th workshop. The Mayor recognized the piece of property
at the corner of Orangewood and Anaheim Way purchased from Orange County Transportation
Authority might not have a detailed plan in place, but he would like a Council discussion on what
elements would be considered for that site; Mr. Morgan concurred.

Council Member Sidhu asked how the improvements would be maintained ten or twenty years from
now. Mr. Maguire indicated the City was looking at a maintenance district for the public
improvements but that the local streets would generally be part of the homeowner's association
fees. Ms. Vander Dussen remarked the streets were going to be public, but in the case of Market
Street and some of the other connector streets, they would be managed and maintained by the
local homeowners association.

5. Grant an exclusive franchise to Earthlink, Inc. to mount, install, operate and maintain certain
F130 of its equipment in areas approved by Anaheim on certain streetlight poles, traffic signal
poles and utilize Anaheim fiber to connect certain radio antennas to its internet point of
presence to create a privately owned and operated City-wide broadband wireless network.
RESOLUTION NO. 2005-201 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM declaring its intention to grant an exclusive franchise to Earthlink, Inc.,
to install, operate and maintain aCity-wide wireless broadband communications network
upon certain City-owned facilities located within the public rights-of-way in the City of
Anaheim; stating the terms and conditions upon which it is proposed to grant the franchise;
and establishing the date, hour and place when and where any person having any interest
therein or any objection thereto may appear and be heard thereon.
Tom Wood, Assistant City Manager, reported the City would be granting an exclusive franchise to
Earthlink, Inc. to install wireless broadband connectivity throughout the City. He indicated Anaheim
would be providing the space, while Earthlink would provide capital and services for the program,
remarking the ambitious program was anticipated to take effect January 1S`
Don Berryman, Executive Vice President of Earthlink and President of Municipal Network Division,
commented the City's process for selecting a vendor was the most efficient and effective process
he had been involved in nationwide. Mayor Pringle asked what type of program the City of
Philadelphia was using; Mr. Berryman responded that instead of utilizing a franchise agreement
process, Philadelphia created anon-profit organization called Wireless Philadelphia to cover 135
square miles of the city and county of Philadelphia. Mayor Pringle explained the City's process in
requesting information related to broadband connectivity resulting in a Request for Proposal
process from which a provider was not selected. He emphasized this was neither a public utility
nor a separate entity and that Anaheim was not creating exclusivity of the airwaves. Mayor Pringle
believed there was greater value in making sure the cost of the service was market driven making
Earthlink competitive with other ISB providers thus offering the Anaheim community the most value
for their dollars.
Council Member Sidhu asked if there were any other cities offering the same service and Mr.
Berryman responded Philadelphia was the first contract awarded but since that time other cities
had reached a Request for Proposal process. Anaheim would be the second City to offer this type
of service to its residents. He added that Earthlink anticipated offering a retail price of
ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
October 25, 2005

approximately $20 per month and that written into the franchise agreement was the fact they would
be upgrading equipment as technology improved.
Council Member Hernandez moved to approve Item 5, RESOLUTION NO. 2005-201 A

Seconded by Council Member Galloway. Roll Call vote: Ayes - 5; Mayor Pringle, Council
Members Chavez, Galloway, Hernandez and Sidhu; Noes - 0. Motion Carried
27. ORDINANCE NO. 5999 (INTRODUCTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF
M142 ANAHEIM adding Chapter 4.22 to Title 4, adding Section 18.38.260 to Chapter 18.38 and
amending Sections 18.08.030 and 18.92.220 of Chapters 18.08 and 18.92 respectively, of
Title 18 of the Anaheim Municipal Code relating to smoking lounges.
Mayor Pringle said he pulled Item No. 27 from the consent calendar to remark there had been
complaints received related to late hours, noise related to smoking lounges and the City had taken
steps for a permit process to allow action should the rules governing the permit be violated.
Sheri Vander Dussen reported the Planning Commission had recommended the adoption of the
ordinance with the goal to create astream-lined, business-friendly, administrative process to permit
smoking lounges so long as they operated under the criteria intended to minimize potential impacts
to adjoining residential and business uses. She indicated a conditional use permit would not be
required, but that staff would issue the permit which would comply with State and local regulations
with respect to land use as well as indoor smoking. Proposing to allow smoking lounges in all
commercial zones within the City, Ms. Vander Dussen indicated they would have to be located at
least 200 feet from any residential zone or residential use and 1,000 feet from any school.
Activities that would be permitted as part of the regulatory permit would include indoor smoking,
outdoor seating, similar to a restaurant, food and beverage service (typically prepackaged items)
and recorded music.
Activities not permitted in conjunction with a smoking lounge would include service of alcoholic
beverages, fees for entry, live entertainment or amusement devices (arcades). These activities,
Ms. Vander Dussen pointed out, required a conditional use permit per existing zoning regulations
as they could potentially change the dynamics of a business from one in which patrons simply
gather and socialize to one that operates more like a nightclub, which has the potential to disturb
nearby residents.
Ms. Vander Dussen indicated there were eleven existing smoking lounges currently operating in
Anaheim and they would be required to conform to the new regulations with the exception of the
location criteria, because many of the businesses don't meet the location criteria of 1,000 feet from
a school or 200 feet from a residential zone and the parking standards as well. She remarked
ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
October 25, 2005
Page 11
there had been numerous complaints from the Police Department and Community Preservation
Office with noise being the most predominant complaint and she expected those activities would
be reduced and possibly eliminated by compliance with the operating standards included in the
draft ordinance.
Mayor Pringle asked what the fee was for the permit and Ms. Vander Dussen replied the permit fee
would be $150.
Council Member Sidhu remarked Anaheim was a business friendly city but also wanted to insure
citizens were protected and that regulations were in place to be followed and protect
neighborhoods.
Council Member Chavez asked how a smoking lounge cafe could provide entertainment, if they
wished. Ms. Vander Dussen indicated a conditional use permit was required so the Planning
Commission would have the opportunity to determine if there were certain conditions that should
be imposed to insure activities would not disturb nearby residents or existing businesses, which
was the same process every restaurant had to follow. Council Member Chavez was supportive of
the ordinance and it would allow the business to be regulated so that others would not be
impacted.
Council Member Galloway asked how the permit process would work; Ms. Vander Dussen
indicated a regulatory form would be submitted at the business license counter and a fee of $150
would be paid. Council Member Galloway asked how involved the Police Department was in the
oversight of smoking lounges and the reply given indicated there was not scheduled oversight of
the smoking lounges, that typically officers would review two or three times a year.
Council Member Hernandez asked if entertainment was added would that not place the business in
a different category related to fire safety (number of maximum seating and exits) Ms. Vander
Dussen indicated there were additional regulations that could apply as uses evolve or change and
fire safety was one of the items examined through the conditional use permit process. She pointed
out the Code did not differentiate between shades of live entertainment, that it could be a guitarist
with no amplification or a live rock band. This was why any entertainment proposed in a smoking
lounge would be subject to the conditional use process so that the Planning Commission could
review and impose conditions as appropriate, especially since complaints had been received
relating to smoking lounges with live entertainment.
Council Member Sidhu moved to introduce ORDINANCE NO. 5999 AN ORDINANCE OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM adding Chapter 4.22 to Title 4, adding Section 18.38.260 to Chapter 18.38 and
amending Sections 18.08.030 and 18.92.220 of Chapters 18.08 and 18.92 respectively, of Title 18
of the Anaheim Municipal Code relating to smoking lounges.
29. Ratify the appointment of Marcie Edwards to the Board of Directors of the Metropolitan
0148 Water District, replacing Tom Tait.
Mayor Pringle pointed out Anaheim was one of three cities in Orange County that directly
appointed individuals to represent the community on the Metropolitan Water District Board and that
former Council Member Tom Tait had served in that capacity. Mayor Pringle then nominated
Marcie Edwards to fill the appointment, seconded by Council Member Chavez. Roll call vote:

RESOLUTION N0. 2005-204 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ANAHEIM approving the Hazard Mitigation Plan for the City of Anaheim.
MOTION: Authorize the City Manager to submit the Plan to the Governor's Office of
Emergency Services and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Dave Morgan indicated Council had requested a presentation on the City's emergency
preparedness plan and activities and additionally, there would also be a presentation on the City's
proposed Hazard Mitigation Plan to ensure Anaheim eligibility for FEMA funds.
Fire Chief Roger Smith began his presentation listing potential disasters that could occur in
Anaheim, such as earthquakes, wildfires, Prado Dam flooding as well as international or domestic
terrorism events. He explained the Disaster Relief and Emergency Services Act required
municipalities (through federal, state and local guidance programs) to establish and follow an
emergency response plan.
HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN (HMP} - A component of this process was the establishment of a
natural hazard mitigation plan designed to protect city-owned facilities and infrastructure. Chief
Smith indicated this pre-disaster plan would demonstrate how a community could lower its risk and
exposure to disasters and included a variety of measures, modified code regulations, construction
projects, educational programs, and equipment acquisitions. Having the Hazard Mitigation in place
would not preclude a city from participating in federal recovery reimbursements; however, having it
in place would be cost effective, build partnerships, reduce losses and facilitate recovery as well as
establish funding priorities.
Chief Smith indicated the Hazard Mitigation Plan would outline short and long-range mitigation
goals, document on-going mitigation activities, and demonstra#e how a municipality would carry out
mitigation. In addition, the plan would fulfill Federal requirements and position the City to be
eligible for submitting for a variety of hazard mitigation grant programs. He remarked there were
27 short and long-range activities within Anaheim's HMP and the City was seeking grant funds for
continuation of upgrades to Walnut Canyon Dam and flood protection walls to surround a utility
substation.
EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN -Chief Smith reported the plan was written to demonstrate how
a community would respond to a grave emergency or disaster. The City's plan was approved by

all authorities including the State Office of Emergency Services (OES) with OES just recently
providing commentary to the City and both Police and Fire Disaster Managers were working
through the document to update the plan to reflect new federal government compliance related to
National Incident Management System (SIMS). He remarked a copy of this plan was on file in the
City Clerk's office and was updated every three years.
One of the lessons learned from Hurricane Katrina, Chief Smith commented, was to put together a
task force of public safety, utilities and community services staff to gather data and assistance and
disseminate that information to City officials and employees, residents and various volunteer
groups so all would have a better idea of what to do in emergency situations. Chief Smith noted
there was training provided related to weapons of mass destruction, NIMS training, first responder
awareness citywide with employee and public safety personnel, and command officer training both
at fire and police department levels related to terrorist events.
He also reported there were strategies in place to prevent situations from occurring and safety
personnel worked to identify risks. In addition, ten tabletop exercises relating to emergency
preparedness were performed involving all cities and associated agencies such as health care
facilities, schools, etc. As well, he noted there were monthly emergency operation center
meetings for City employees, key command staff and any of the private sector partnerships to go
over lessons learned, review situations, and do educational pieces on incident command or NIMS
so that many things were being done locally to be ready. He stated there was not another city in
Orange County that had the level of equipment nor the training Anaheim had regarding chemical,
biological, radiological and nuclear explosive devices.
Citizen preparedness was also in place with over 600 residents certified in Anaheim, and a mobile
education unit was being put together taking CERT on the road and putting together a mobile
education unit to go out into the communities to provide this information. According to Chief Smith,
there is much information available, both in pamphlets, flyers, etc. in the Disaster Preparedness
office.
Mr. Morgan ended the presentation by indicating the City had a complex and comprehensive
emergency preparedness plan and was one of only two Orange County cities and a handful of
cities in the state receiving homeland security funding from the federal government to assist the
City in preparing and responding to any potential threat. He added Anaheim was one of four cities
in the nation that participated in the Smart City program and selected to advance technological
tools to ensure Anaheim was well prepared and ready to respond and test some of these systems
to be eventually presented across the country. He indicated action was necessary to approve the
resolution for the Hazard Mitigation Plan for submittal to FEMA.
Council Member Chavez asked if there was a massive call for help from Anaheim, who would be in
charge and who would be making decisions. Chief Smith indicated that Anaheim would always
retain command authority but would unify with a variety of agencies both state and federal. He
emphasized the important point was that Anaheim be prepared, understand the community's
needs and call other agencies in for help and articulate those needs. Council Member Chavez
asked if it was safe to assume residents should be prepared to be on their own for at least three to
five days; Chief Smith concurred that in the event of a major disaster, local resources would be
exhausted quickly and residents should prepare themselves at least three to five days until other
resources became available.

Council Member Hernandez emphasized Anaheim was recognized as a leader in the area of
emergency response and was now in the process of honing the response system for the City. He
indicated cities in California would be better prepared and more experienced in disaster response
than any other state due to the number of wildfires that have occurred over the years and have
developed a system of working well with other agencies.
Council Member Hernandez moved to approve Item 32, RESOLUTION N0.2005-204, A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM approving the Hazard
Mitigation Plan for the City of Anaheim, seconded by Council Member Chavez and authorize the
City Manager to submit the Pian to the Governor's Office of Emergency Services and the Federal
Emergency Management Agency. Roll call vote: Ayes - 5; Mayor Pringle, Council Members:
Chavez, Galloway, Hernandez and Sidhu. Noes - 0. Motion carried.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
33. This is a public hearing to consider the acquisition and condemnation of a portion of certain
P121 real property located at 2501 East Lincoln Avenue for the Lincoln Avenue/Sunkist Street
Intersection Project.
This item continued to November 8, 2005.
Mayor Pringle indicated he would not be present during the public hearings for Item No's. 34 and
35 due to a potential conflict of interest. He indicated that on Item 35, he had a previous business
relationship with a company that was then purchased by Lennar, therefore that created an
economic conflict and he would not be able to participate for a few more months. Regarding Item
34, one area dealing with the width of the road on Gene Autry Way, City Attorney has indicated
there may be a conflict,
Mayor Pro Tem Chavez conducted the hearings.

(Continued from the Council meeting of September 27, 2005, Item #41).
Mayor Pringle not present for this matter due to a potential conflict of interest. Mayor Pro Tem
Chavez indicated the hearing had been continued from September 27, 2005 and that public
comments had been received but that additional public testimony would be taken this evening.
Sheri Vander Dussen, Planning Director, reported this hearing had been continued to allow staff to
provide Council with additional information regarding various aspects of the project. The first
request related to a separate project currently underway to extend Gene Autry Way west of the I-5
Freeway and how the construction of that street extension between the I-5 Freeway and Haster
would affect the neighborhoods to the west of the Platinum Triangle. She indicated the status of
additional fire stations to serve the Platinum Triangle was also requested as was a description of
the Platinum Triangle streetscape and landscape plan. She explained the requested information
was described in the staff report and the streetscape/landscape plan had been discussed in the
earlier workshop. The Gene Autry Way project between the I-5 Freeway and Haster Street was
currently in process. Ms. Vander Dussen indicated right of way acquisitions had been underway,
with construction anticipated to start in September, 2007 with completion by summer of 2009. That
project, she explained, was not a part of the Platinum Triangle and no changes were proposed to
the approved design for that street segment. Referring to impacts from that project to the
neighborhoods to the west of the I-5 Freeway, Ms. Vander Dussen indicated connecting Gene
Autry Way with Haster Street would add additional traffic onto Haster Street. She indicated the
impacts of those trips were analyzed and mitigated as part of two EIR's prepared in connection
with the extension of Gene Autry Way and as part of the project, improvements would be made to
Haster Street to facilitate overall circulation including the installation of a new traffic signal at the
intersection of Gene Autry Way and Haster Street to allow pedestrians to safely cross Haster. She
noted Haster Street would also be widened from four to six lanes between Katella and Gene Autry
and a new left turn lane would be provided from southbound Haster Street to eastbound Gene
Autry Way. This project, she emphasized, would improve the overall mobility in the area and
provide better access in the neighborhoods west of the I-5 Freeway to the Platinum Triangle. In
the Platinum Triangle itself, Ms. Vander Dussen stated, the ultimate right-of-way for Gene Autry
Way between State College Boulevard and Betmor Lane was proposed to be widened by 4.5 feet
on each side of the road which would provide for a slightly wider parkway and sidewalk within the
public right-of-way which resulted in a pedestrian friendly streetscape and would only affect the
portion of Gene Autry Way in the Platinum Triangle.
With regard to fire stations, Ms. Vander Dussen commented the Fire Department had identified the
need for two new stations to serve the ultimate build-out of the Platinum Triangle. Last month, she
explained, Anaheim acquired a site along Santa Cruz Street north of Orangewood Avenue which
had been identified as a potential site for a battalion headquarters and ultimately include three fire
companies, an ambulance, a company officer facility and a battalion chief. She added a second
fire station housing one company would be needed by about 2015 and staff was in the process of
exploring potential locations in the north/central area of the Platinum Triangle. In addition, she
noted interim fees for fire facilities were currently being collected as part of the development
agreement with developers in the mixed use district; however, these fees would not be sufficient to
cover the full cost to acquire the land and construct the new fire stations. Within the next two
months, the Fire Department would be providing Council with a recommended funding plan which
was expected to include new fees.

Ms. Vander Dussen remarked that earlier today, Council held a workshop on the landscape
component proposed for each of the streets in the Platinum Triangle which would create a
memorable, unified and civic scaled public landscape to compliment the land uses in the Platinum
Triangle. She ended by saying staff recommended Council certify the Subsequent EIR and
approve the proposed actions as outlined in the staff report and draft resolutions and ordinances.
Mayor Pro Tem Chavez opened the public hearing.
Barbara Gonzales, resident of the downtown and speaking as a trustee of the Anaheim City School
District, spoke of the educational impacts resulting from children generated by the Platinum
Triangle. She asked that Council as well as City planners be on the lookout for a larger site for the
Anaheim City School District to develop and construct a school to serve the Platinum Triangle
children.
Tim Payon, A&B Property Corporation, had commented at the September 27th hearing and sent a
letter to Council. He was not speaking for or against the project but requested Council provide
direction as to how the dilemma (which was being created by actions Council would be taking on
this item) could be resolved. He noted since the last hearing on this matter, A&B Property had
modified their own application for units in the Platinum Triangle, a process that would expand the
number of units in their project. He indicated A&B was seeking to get a share of the units equal to
their share of the land within the Triangle. He stated if the two projects on tonight's agenda were
approved, Council would be proactive in requesting staff to move forward with some changes that
would be more equitable to all of the landowners in the Triangle.
Shari Vander Dussen offered rebuttal testimony. She indicated this project would increase the
residential cap in the Platinum Triangle by 325 dwelling units and developers had been paying
school fees as building permits were issued, a funding source going directly to the school district.
She indicated staff was committed to working with the school district to identify sites or work
cooperatively with them to try to resolve any issues that result from the addition of new children in
any of the districts serving the area.
Relating to Mr. Payon's comments, Ms. Vander Dussen recognized his concern was also with
respect to the fact that if the Lennar application was approved tonight, there would be very few
units left for development potential in the Gene Autry district within the Platinum Triangle and in his
letter he indicated that his client would like to see the City take proactive action to increase the
number of residential units that could be built in the Platinum Triangle. She remarked staff had
begun to do some tentative analysis of some of the infrastructure issues in the Triangle to see how
many additional units might be able to be added and she believed it was better for the City to look
at increasing the cap overall so the infrastructure issues could be looked at on a comprehensive
basis as opposed to having individual property owners file general plan amendments. The
sanitation district, she commented, also expressed support for that type of proactive planning
because they need to size their systems as well and it was difficult to continue to make incremental
increases. Ms. Vander Dussen would be presenting to Council some options with respect to
potentially increasing the number of units in the Platinum Triangle as well as some cost estimates
as it would require some technical analysis and environmental review.
With no other testimony offered, Mayor Pro Tem Chavez closed the public hearing.
ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
October 25, 2005

Mayor Pro Tem Chavez remarked that at the last meeting, Council had asked the hearing to be
continued based on traffic impacts to the neighborhood west of the freeway and fire safety issues.
After discussion with staff, Mayor Pro Tem Chavez was confident the issues had been thoroughly
reviewed and the City had a good plan for dealing with the traffic. He remarked the beauty of the
Platinum Triangle project was the encouragement of pedestrian use, rather than vehicular use.
For the fire safety issue, Mayor Pro Tem Chavez asked when the City could anticipate breaking
ground or having a fire station built in the Platinum Triangle; Mr. Morgan replied the first station
was expected to open in late 2007 or early 2008, with the second station more close to build out
and probably completed in 2014.
Council Member Galloway asked what the process would be for developers who might want to
increase the number of units in Gene Autry Way area. Ms. Vander Dussen indicated the Platinum
Triangle was almost out of intensity in all of the districts where private owners are predominant.
She explained there were two ways to increase the intensity; for the City to initiate a general plan
amendment and zone change to add to the cap of the residential units or to allow individual
property owners to request individual general plan amendments and zone changes to increase the
cap. She noted that intensity would be assigned specifically to their parcel and the City would be
looking at the infrastructure impacts on an incremental basis. She added they could explore the
transfer of dwelling units from districts where remaining intensity was available such as the stadium
site.
Council Member Sidhu moved to approve the EIR and associated resolutions and ordinances;
seconded by Council Member Hernandez.

Shari Vander Dussen, Planning Director, provided an overview of Lennar "A" Town project
located between Gene Autry Way and Katella Avenue and State College Boulevard and Betmor
Lane. She indicated it included 2,681 dwelling units in addition to about 150,000 square feet of

ground floor commercial along Market Street and it was the 8th application to be presented to
Council since the Platinum Triangle regulations were approved.
A Town Metro consisted of approximately 41 acres, Ms. Vander Dussen stated, and as it was not
feasible to develop the entire site at one time, Lennar was processing a master site plan, the first
to be processed and would accommodate the consolidation of parcels to allow for more
comprehensive site planning. The master site plan represented 15 development areas that
would combine to create a mixed use urban community featuring residential and commercial uses
as well as 3.5 acres of public parkland. Each development area, she noted, was assigned a
target number of dwelling units, commercial square footage and maximum building heights. A key
feature of the plan was to create Market Street, which would provide convenient access to local
services and create the background for a unique urban district by promoting mixed use and the
opportunity for residents and workers to be less dependent on the automobile. The plan also
depicted five new public streets unifying the neighborhoods. To facilitate traffic flow to adjacent
arterial highways, Ms. Vander Dussen reported there would be signalized intersections
constructed at Market Street and Katella Avenue, lining up with BRE's project which had already
been approved to the north as well as the intersection of Market Street and Gene Autry Way. The
project site, she remarked, was currently developed with industrial buildings and two motels all of
which would be demolished. Site one was 31 acres and presently zoned for mixed use; site 2
was the 10.5 acre portion to be added to the mixed use district by Council action tonight. Lennar
proposed six themed districts, each with a distinctive neighborhood character and a mix of
housing types including high rise residential towers, street town homes, podium town homes and
lofts. These new neighborhoods would be unified by the new Market Street and groundfloor retail
development.
Ms. Vander Dussen explained several Council actions would be required to entitle the applicant's
request. In order to construct residential uses on site 2, the applicant requested to change the
current general plan designation from office high to mixed use and to reclassify site 2 to add the
mixed use overlay to the existing industrial zone. No additional density was being requested in
the Platinum Triangle in conjunction with the redesignation, rather the existing intensity that would
be allowed would be spread across a greater number of acres. Secondly, she pointed out, the
applicant also requested a code amendment that would conditionally permit educational
institutions and condominium hotels in the Platinum Triangle. The amendment would also modify
the minimize size and dimension of private balconies to accommodate the design of high rise
residential towers, but would not reduce the overall amount of open space required for the project.
Lennar was also requesting a conditional use permit. Ms. Vander Dussen clarified the zoning
code allowed buildings to exceed height of 100 feet in the Platinum Triangle subject to approval of
a conditional use permit. She commented Lennar was the first developer to request such an
allowance and that the high rise product type was an important contribution to development of the
Triangle in creating a dynamic mix of uses in creating an urban location. Final detailed plans for
each of the high rise buildings would be submitted at a later date though the final site plan process
and subject to planning review.
In order to implement this project, the Platinum Triangle Master Plan Overlay Zone required
Council approval of a development agreement which had an initial five year term but provided for
automatic extensions of three additional five year terms subject to certain milestones being
achieved. Ms. Vander Dussen indicated construction of the project was anticipated to begin in the
spring of 2006 and expected to continue to 2025. Since the Planning Commission hearing, staff
also had made refinements to the development agreement, provided to Council, pertaining
primarily to conditions of approval. In addition, two proposed changes to exhibit B5, to amend
ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
October 25, 2005
Page 23
Condition No. 66 regarding timing of installation of reverse sewer lines and adding Condition No.
103 regarding the process of modifying development area boundaries. Ms. Vander Dussen
indicated Lennar was agreeable to the changes.
She added there had been some concern expressed that the allocation of the number of units
proposed for the Lennar project was unfair with respect to the ratio of land that Lennar controls in
this particular district. However, she pointed out, staff's position was that the Lennar project did a
very good job implementing the goals identified for the Platinum Triangle. It created a true mix of
uses, created a variety of housing types and a high density area that focused development
potential and pedestrian activity in the court area. She believed the approval would be a great
step in realizing the goals Council established for the Platinum Triangle with the adoption of the
zoning and general plan designation.
Mayor Pro Tem Chavez opened the public hearing.
Richard Knowland, Regional Vice President for Lennar, stated Lennar agreed and concurred with
staff's recommendations and was looking forward to a different approach for the multi-year,
mixed-use urban development on their site.
He remarked the company was intrigued initially as the Platinum Triangle provided a new array of
opportunities not contemplated for Orange County before. Realizing the property ownership of
the Platinum Triangle was primarily made up of small one to three acre parcels and that these
smaller developments would occur over time, Lennar recognized a similarity in terms of density
could happen there. Lennar's solution was to gather an assemblage of land; made up of 30
individual properties that Lennar independently purchased for a mass of 40 plus acres of land. He
remarked it took a while to do that but Lennar felt that was the key to unlock the vision of what the
Platinum Triangle could be which was introducing a new downtown to Orange County. Embracing
that vision, Lennar looked at other successful urban areas in the state as well as nationwide with
activities that occur 24/7, public transportation, jobs, retail and entertainment that's a short walk
away and that was the promise for the Platinum Triangle. The other advantage, he reported, was
the master planned community idea which Lennar believed would create value for the Platinum
Triangle.
Mr. Knowland provided details on the proposed A Town which would cover less than 30 percent of
what Council had already approved or was in process. Using the ten principles of smart urban
growth, Lennar was guided by the following: walk ability, connectivity both in and outside of A
Town, mixed use and diversity (generational, cultural, housing, retail) mix of house, quality
architecture and urban design, a traditional neighborhood structure which was streets and blocks,
increased density, smart transportation, sustainability and the quality of life. Lennar believed
Anaheim was the right choice for this new urban downtown as it was centrally located in southern
California, regional and national/international venues were located very close by within walking
distances, there was existing infrastructure relative to freeways and roads and more importantly a
metro link station and the promise of greater use and greater opportunities to utilize public
transportation within the Platinum Triangle that you just can't find in other places. Being adjacent
to Angel Stadium, the Pond, the Medical Center, shopping at the Block, the convention center and
the Disney Resort and Downtown Disney, he emphasized, could never have been created in
another urban area
He stated Lennar would be working on making sure residents within the Triangle and A Town
utilize the commuter network through encouragement and incentives. He commented Orange

County Transportation Authority and others were working hard to increase the amount of ridership
and believed A Town would be a good place for that to happen. In addition, the local Anaheim
Trolley system, the future ARTIC program and other innovative shared vehicle uses would be an
added component to the pedestrian-inspired project.
He added the mix of housing from affordable to luxury would attract not only multi-generational
residents, but singles, couples and perhaps families with small children who would find a broad
array of housing opportunities in A Town. With that in mind, six different districts with specific
architectural and streetscape designs would be created, each district with its own identity. The
West Side District would be rezoned into the mixed use area with no increase in density and was
created for workforce housing. This would be a residential village with more affordable home sites
for young couples or singles. The Crescent Park District would have the lowest density with two
and three story townhomes established on the main road into A Town and surrounding Crescent
Public Park. The Park Side District would get the most attention, with high rise towers with a
public park at the foot of the tower with active park uses. The Lower Market District, on Market
Street would contain an area for the "live/work" lofts program. Residents in this town home would
have a shop downstairs on street level which would contain individual "Mom and Pop" stores.
Upper Market Street would contain more residential-serving retail, including groceries, bookstores,
coffee houses, cleaners and other resident services. The Plaza District would be at the heart of A
Town with a signature tower area, with ground floor retail as well.
Mr. Knowland ended by stating Lennar had $200 million invested in A Town and that the 30
properties they had purchased had generated about $450,000 in property tax revenue for
Anaheim, but at build-out property tax was estimated to be over $22 million. He emphasized the
project created funding sources for future maintenance of the properties and would provide 300 to
500 permanent jobs and tens of thousands of jobs in the building of the area. Mr. Knowland
indicated Lennar had talked to the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce about having a "local
business first" for consideration in the A Town retail and would also promote the idea of having
Anaheim residents going to A Town.
Casey Taormina Elkins, indicated the Taormina family unanimously endorsed and supported A
Town as proposed by Lennar Corporation remarking they were amulti-billion dollar company with
investments worldwide and a standard of quality, and professional integrity unmatched.
Todd Ament, President of Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, remarked that of all the top 100
employers in Orange County, housing was the number one item for growth in the region. He
added that anything the City did to add housing stock would be good for business. He reported
that in a discussion with Lennar Corporation a buy locally program would be considered and
Anaheim businesses would have first chance at the retail opportunities in A Town.
Jim Adams, Los Angeles Building Trade, indicated there were initially some concerns over using
local contractors and after meeting with Lennar Corporation, Lennar would ensure a list of local
contractors would be provided to the developers participating in the A Town projects. His
organization wanted to make sure contractors who were qualified, local and paid area standard
wages and benefits would be used in the development of A Town. .
Mayor Pro Tem Chavez referenced the buy local first program and in a discussion with Mr. Jim
Adams, noted there would be outreach program in place and when work became available, the
local contractors would be made aware of it and future builders would be provided a list of
available local contractors.

Council Member Galloway thanked Lennar for providing priority to local businesses in labor and in
goods. Recognizing that Lennar was not required to provide low income and very low income
affordable housing, she asked if his company had any plans to participate in other parts of the
City, particularly in redevelopment areas related to affordable housing projects. Mr. Knowland
indicated Lennar had conversations with a developer about getting involved in redevelopment
areas, but would also be providing for moderately priced workforce housing in A Town.
Public hearing closed.
Mayor Pro Tem Chavez thanked all those involved for their vision for the Platinum Triangle which
was now coming to fruition. He had previously discussed his concerns to maximize the use of
local labor and had assurances from Lennar and the assistance of the Anaheim Chamber to make
this happen. He recognized Lennar was not required to provide low income and very low income
affordable housing in the Platinum Triangle, and referenced the City's Affordable Housing
Strategic Plan which would address this issue, although in other areas of the City. He was
satisfied the City properly addressed traffic, public safety and transportation issues and believed
Lennar's A Town project was poised to become the future Orange County downtown area.
Council Member Sidhu stated he felt the A Town project was an innovative approach and that all
issues had been addressed.
Council Member Sidhu moved to certify the environmental documents, seconded by Council
