1 INTRODUCTION
On September 20, 1994, the Anaheim City
Council adopted Resolution No. 94R-239
approving The Anaheim Resort Public Realm
Landscape Program (TARPRLP). Since the
adoption of the TARPRLP, proposed
modifications to the landscape program have
included six amendments.

2 PURPOSE
The information in this document is intended to
summarize the landscape concepts for the public
streets (or Public Realm as it is referred to in this
document) within The Anaheim Resort and
provide a general overview of the different
landscape treatments that help create a unifying
resort identity. Additional details showing how the
concepts are implemented are shown in the
Anaheim Resort Specific Plan (ARSP) and the
Disneyland Resort Specific Plan (DRSP)
respective Design Plans (Section 5.0 of each
document).
Streets and their edges furnish the primary space
in which landscape can be placed to transform
the identity of The Anaheim Resort. The most
visually prominent areas have the greatest
impact on the design of the area.
3 LANDSCAPE CONCEPTS
The following landscape concepts are intended
to define the character of the landscape for The
Anaheim Resort.
3.1 Unity and Diversity
Public Realm landscape planting must create an
overall unity, while allowing diversity to create
distinct differences between places. This is
achieved by establishing a planting design
system in which basic elements are repeated in
an orderly, regular way, while the elements vary
to respond to particular situations.
3.2 Use Plant Material to Create
Scale
It is important that the scale of the landscape
plantings reflect the scale of place they are
intended to enhance. For example, major streets
and entries that are viewed primarily from
automobiles require a landscape treatment that is
grander in scale and texture than areas intended
solely for pedestrians. When they are
overlapping needs, that is, when both pedestrian
and automobile scales much be accommodated,
the planting design addresses both needs.
3.3 Establish a Recognizable
Streetscape Geometry
Throughout The Anaheim Resort, landscape
elements including trees and shrubs, as well as
man-made elements such as light fixtures, are
arranged in regular patterns that establish order
and a recognizable geometry. The patterns vary
to create different effects, and help differentiate
one location from another. Generally, street tree
plantings feature regularly spaced trees, and the
same trees are used consistently for
considerably lengths of the same street.
Changes in the variety of tree, or the geometry of
the planting design may occur when a street
changes in width, changes direction, or crosses
another important street. Informal masses of
trees only occur in the Public Realm where the
total width of the combined landscape area in the
Public Realm and the required street setback
areas exceeds forty feet. Planting designs in
which trees are scattered randomly are
inconsistent with the intent of this concept.
3.4 Define a Plant Palette
Another way the Public Realm Landscape
Program creates a unified identity is by
identifying the plant material used within The
Anaheim Resort, especially within the areas
visible from the street. The plant palette
emphasizes plants that have a positive visual
impact and are well adapted to The Anaheim
Resort. Many of the recommended plants are
typical of Southern California landscapes and
emphasize the special qualities of plants that are

appropriate for the changing California climate.
Palms, broad leaf evergreens and exotic
flowering shrubs are now being used in
moderation, introducing a new diverse Palette
appropriate for low water applications. A mix of
textural plants, California friendly natives, low
water Perennials and flowering shrubs are being
introduced to address the changing needs of the
landscape. A complete of list of the plants for use
in The Anaheim Resort is included in the
Planning Standard Detail No. 10.
3.5 Layer Landscape to Create
Depth
To create an illusion of greater depth in narrow
spaces throughout the Specific Plan area, and to
add further variety, landscape is planted in
layers. The layers include plants in both the
Public Realm and the required setback areas.
Layers are expressed vertically by the varying
heights of plant material, streetlights and other
landscape elements; layers are also expressed
horizontally by establishing several distinct
planting areas with consistent setback
relationships.

3.6 Contrast Plant Material for
Diversity and Balance
To create diversity, landscape planting design
relies on contrasting one plant material with
another. The types of contrast include form (large
vs. small, tall vs. short, narrow vs. broad, rigid vs.
loose), texture (coarse vs. fine, lush vs. sparse,
open vs. closed), and color (dark vs. light, gray
vs. green). This contrast is expressed in the
Public Realm, for example, with street tree
plantings that consist of alternating tall narrow
trees (such as palms) with short broad trees
(such as a small or medium sized canopy tree).
There will also be contrast between the planting
in the Public Realm and the adjacent Setback
Realm. For example, a formal planting of
regularly spaced palms in the Public Realm might
be complemented by plantings in the Setback
Realm of masses of eucalyptus or pines with less
regular forms.
3.7 Colorful Plants to Emphasize a
Festive Atmosphere
Colorful plant materials are used throughout The
Anaheim Resort to help create a festive, cheerful
atmosphere. Where appropriate, flowering trees
may be used, as well as flowering shrubs and
ground covers. These colorful shrubs and ground
covers are often be planted in large masses of
the same plant material in order to create a more
dramatic impression. The types of colorful plants
are varied so that color is apparent throughout
the year. The preferred color for flowering plants
is deeply colored reds, violets, oranges, yellows
and purples. The use of plants with pale colors,
including pale blue, pink, and off-white is limited.

4 PUBLIC STREETS
This Section of the Public Realm Landscape
Program describes the design concepts for each
street. Both the Anaheim and Disneyland Resort
Specific Plans provide diagrams of these streets
and show the approximate location of the Public
Realm as well as guidelines for the setback
areas of each street.
4.1 Harbor Boulevard
Harbor Boulevard is the main north-south street
within The Anaheim Resort. Between
Manchester Avenue and Orangewood Avenue,
the landscape treatment is intended to unify the
two sides of the street by establishing a
landscape treatment that is consistent on both
sides of the street. The treatment consists of
regularly spaced medium or large spreading
canopy trees and vertical trees. The canopy trees
provide shade for pedestrians that walk to the
theme parks, Anaheim Convention Center or
other Anaheim Resort uses from the hotels on
Harbor Boulevard, and the vertical trees are
intended to provide a skyline identity for the
street. The median is planted with the same
canopy trees that are planted in the landscaped
parkways. The intent is that the trees eventually
close over the street to create a green canopy.
Pedestrians are separated from vehicular traffic
by a landscaped parkway. Within the median,
shrubs are planted to form a barrier to prevent
pedestrian crossings at mid-block. This barrier
should be easily seen to be impenetrable to
pedestrians.
Due to the configuration of the DRSP Theme
Park District Drop-Off Area and the monorail and
fences along the Disneyland Theme Park
boundary, the street design has been modified to
remove the vertical palm trees from the west side
of the street north of the southernmost point of
the DRSP Theme Park District Drop-Off Area.
From the I-5 to the DRSP Theme Park District
Drop-Off Area, the landscaped parkway ranges
from 6 to 12 feet to provide for layered
landscaping adjacent to the Disneyland Theme
Park back-of-house fence. As part of
DisneylandForward, the existing DRSP Theme
Park District Drop-Off Area may be relocated
adjacent or internal to the East Parking Area or,
subject to the requirements of the ARSP, it may
be relocated to the ARSP Parking Overlay along
Manchester Avenue.
At the time the relocation occurs, the public right-
of-way and the Public Realm Landscape concept
for the west side of Harbor Boulevard will be
changed to be consistent with the east side of the
street.
At Manchester Avenue, as Harbor Boulevard
begins to rise over Interstate 5 (I-5), as well as
south of Orangewood Avenue, the Harbor
Boulevard right-of-way begins to be restricted in
width. Within these southern and northern most
reaches of Harbor Boulevard, within The
Anaheim Resort, the landscape treatment
continues the Harbor Boulevard skyline identity
with vertical trees alternating with a medium or
large canopy tree. However, because there is not
adequate right-of-way for a landscaped parkway,
the street trees are placed in sidewalk cutouts.
As part of DisneylandForward, at least one and
up to three pedestrian bridges will be constructed
over Harbor Boulevard between Manchester
Avenue and Disney Way. The construction of any
pedestrian bridge over public rights-of-way will
require the granting of an encroachment
agreement or similar request for air right
easements over public property by the City of
Anaheim. Refer to Section 4.6, Pedestrian
Circulation Plan, for more information on
pedestrian bridges crossing the public right-of-
way.

4.2 Katella Avenue
Katella Avenue is the main east-west street
within The Anaheim Resort. In the spirit of
differentiating the major streets from each other,
the landscape on Katella Avenue features formal
colonnades of regularly spaced Date Palms. The
intent is to:
• Create a dramatic impression with the
multiple rows of closely spaced palms;
• Maximize the effectiveness of the area
available for landscape by using the multiple
layers to create an increased sense of depth
of the landscape along the street; and,
• Use the palm's ultimate height to help create
a feeling of enclosure, thereby reducing the
apparent scale of the street.
Pedestrian walks on both sides of the street are
separated from the vehicular traffic by a
landscaped parkway. The broad canopy of the
palm provides shade on the walks, and the
narrow trunk permits views into adjoining
properties.
4.3 Disneyland Drive
Disneyland Drive has two typical conditions.
North of Ball Road, it is the northern arrival street
into The Anaheim Resort. The landscape
treatment is an extension of the landscape
treatment of the I-5/Disneyland Drive
interchange, which features evergreen vertical
trees and other temperate zone plants. Tall
vertical canopy trees are placed in existing
sidewalks to help screen residential uses to the
west.
South of Ball Road, the landscape for the Public
Realm is intended to help tie together the
different uses on either side of the street with a
planting of medium or small canopy trees and
vertical trees. A pedestrian walk on the east side
of the street is separated from vehicular traffic by
a landscaped parkway along the entire length of
the street. A grade separated crossing has been
constructed under Downtown Disney. Within the
grade separation area, the parkway and median
may be eliminated.
As part of DisneylandForward, one to two
pedestrian bridges and/or crossings will be
constructed over Disneyland Drive between
Magic Way and Katella Avenue. The construction
of any pedestrian bridge or crossing over public
rights-of-way will require the granting of an
encroachment agreement or similar request for
air right easements over public property by the
City of Anaheim. Refer to Section 4.6, Pedestrian
Circulation Plan, for more information on
pedestrian bridges crossing the public right-of-
way.
4.4 West Street
In order to maintain the residential quality of this
street, Magnolia trees within an 8-foot parkway
and 4-foot sidewalk are the dominant character
of the streetscape of West Street, south of
Katella Avenue.
4.5 Disney Way
Disney Way is intended to be used to bring
automobiles efficiently into the planned public
parking facility in the DRSP East Parking Area.
The landscape treatment within the Public Realm
features regularly spaced, alternating small or
medium canopy trees. An eight-foot landscaped
parkway separates pedestrians from vehicular
traffic. A mid-block median break is permitted on
Disney Way (between Harbor Boulevard and
Clementine Street).
As part of DisneylandForward, the existing
sidewalk on the north side of Disney Way
The Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape Program
PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT (MARCH 2024)
12
between Clementine Street and Anaheim
GardenWalk will be removed to allow for vehicle
access to a new parking facility. The removed
sidewalk area will be replaced by an expanded
landscape parkway area.
4.6 Clementine Street
Like Disney Way, Clementine Street is an
important vehicular access road to the planned
public parking facility in the DRSP East Parking
Area. The landscape for the public right-of-way of
this street is similar to the treatment of Disney
Way. Pedestrian walks are separated from
vehicular traffic by a landscaped parkway.
Pedestrian walkway(s) and/or transportation
system(s) connect DRSP East Parking Area to
the DRSP Southeast District located south of
Katella Avenue. A mid-block median break is
permitted on Clementine Street (between Disney
Way and Katella Avenue).
As part of DisneylandForward, the existing
sidewalk on the west side of Clementine Street
between Disney Way and Arlo Way will be
removed to allow for a new parking facility north
of Disney Way. The removed sidewalk area will
be replaced by area 10-foot multi-use Class I
bicycle facility.
4.7 Manchester Avenue
Like Disney Way and Clementine Street,
Manchester Avenue is an important vehicular
access road to The Anaheim Resort. The
landscape for the public right-of-way of the west
portion is similar, with regularly spaced,
alternating small or medium canopy and vertical
trees in an 8-foot landscape parkway and in a
landscaped median.
Adjacent to I-5, the landscape of Manchester
Avenue continues the regularly spaced,
alternating small or medium canopy and vertical
trees in an 8-foot landscape parkway. Adjacent to
I-5, there is no pedestrian walkway and the
parkway is reduced to 5 feet in width.
4.8 Walnut Street
Walnut Street forms the western edge of The
Anaheim Resort. The landscape within the public
right-of-way includes large canopy trees planted
in a continuous parkway on the east side of the
street and in a median between Ball Road and
Katella Avenue. Trees of a similar size and type
are located on the west side of the street. These
tall trees are intended to buffer the uses within
the DRSP Theme Park District, including the
220-kv transmission lines along Walnut Street. A
continuous 10-foot multi-use Class I bicycle
facility on the east side of the street is separated
from vehicular traffic by a landscaped parkway.
4.9 Ball Road
Ball Road is another major east-west street
within The Anaheim Resort. The landscape
treatment for the public right-of-way includes a
planting of medium or large canopy trees in tree
wells, cut into the sidewalk east of I-5. The large
canopy trees are placed in parkways west of I-5.
Trees of the same species are planted in raised
medians west of West Place, as are
complementary ground cover.
4.10 Anaheim Boulevard/
Haster Street
The Anaheim Boulevard/Haster Street landscape
consists of alternating, regularly spaced small or
medium canopy trees and vertical trees.
Pedestrian sidewalks are separated from
vehicular traffic by a landscaped parkway.
The Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape Program
PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT (MARCH 2024)

4.11 Convention Way
Convention Way has been designed and
constructed to create a grand and civic character
through the use of large stately palm trees
alternating with large canopy trees. A subtropical
plant palette provides a backdrop to the palms.
Palms have been inserted within the sidewalks
on both sides of the street. Where there is a
raised median, palms and barrier shrubs were
added in order to create a consistent
streetscape.
4.12 Gene Autry Way
Between Haster Street and Interstate 5, Gene
Autry transitions to the HOV (High Occupancy
Vehicle) interchange accommodating vehicles
from the HOV lanes on the I-5 freeway. In this
location, retaining and soundwalls are located
along both sides of Gene Autry Way since the
road is elevated.
The landscape on Gene Autry Way features a
formal colonnade of regularly spaced palms with
a subtropical plant palette to provide a backdrop
to the palms. The sidewalks are set behind a
parkway of uniform dimension.
4.13 Orangewood Avenue
Although Orangewood Avenue is generally
outside of The Anaheim Resort, the intersection
with Harbor Boulevard and the segment of the
street adjacent to The Anaheim Resort has been
included in the Plan. The basic concept is to
extend the planting of the existing street tree,
Magnolia grandiflora, within the existing right-of-
way and parkway/sidewalk.
4.14 Local Streets
Local streets are those streets intended to
primarily serve local traffic. Public Realm
improvements include both a landscaped
parkway with street trees or trees within tree
wells, and a pedestrian sidewalk.

5 HARBOR BOULEVARD/
KATELLA AVENUE
INTERSECTION AREA
The area immediately adjacent to the Harbor
Boulevard/Katella Avenue Intersection is critical
to the overall image of The Anaheim Resort. To
promote an urban, pedestrian friendly
environment at this intersection, the following
special criteria for landscape, hardscape and
urban design elements have been created to
guide future development of the parcels having
frontage on both Harbor Boulevard and Katella
Avenue. These parcels are located within the
Harbor Boulevard/Katella Avenue Intersection
Area.
5.1 Streetscape
For parcels having frontage on both Harbor
Boulevard and Katella Avenue, the following
landscape and hardscape criteria shall apply
within the Public Realm:
• Street trees along both Harbor Boulevard and
Katella Avenue frontages shall include a
double row of Date Palms. Date Palms in the
second row of the parkway may be provided
in tree grates where special paving occurs.
• Where bus shelters occur, one (1) King Palm
in tree grate shall be planted on each side of
the bus shelter.
• Special paving shall be provided at the
Harbor Boulevard/Katella Avenue Intersection
Area corners to highlight this distinct, heavily
pedestrian-traveled intersection. Special
paving shall extend a minimum of two
hundred feet (200’) from the edge of curb
return at the corner along both Harbor
Boulevard and Katella Avenue frontages for
each parcel, or combined parcels for a single
project, or extend the entire length of the
frontage if the parcel/project frontage is less
than two hundred feet (200’). Paving
materials shall be per City standards and be
consistent on all four corners, subject to
review and approval by the Planning Director
and City Engineer.
• Sculptural urban design elements are
encouraged at each corner of the Harbor
Boulevard/Katella Avenue Intersection Area,
as described in Section 1.5.2 below.
5.2 Sculptural Urban Design
Elements
Sculptural urban design elements are
encouraged within the Public Realm of the
parcels that have frontages on both Harbor
Boulevard and Katella Avenue. These sculptural
urban design elements are intended to be iconic
forms that identify the Harbor Boulevard/Katella
Avenue intersection as a distinctive urban
environment. The design and arrangement of
these elements should be unique to each corner
property of the intersection in order to provide for
diversity and visual interest. They can be located
within the public realm providing there is
adequate circulation space for pedestrians. The
design of the elements may include water and
lighting subject to the approval of the Planning
Director and City Engineer. The number of
sculptural urban design elements is limited to two
per street frontage. The final design is subject to
review and approval by the Planning Director and
City Engineer.
