The Commercial Recreation land use designation applies to The
Anaheim Resort. The designation is intended to provide for tourist
and entertainment related industries, such as theme parks, hotels,
tourist oriented retail, movie theaters, and other visitor-serving
facilities. In addition, in targeted areas within The Anaheim Resort,
residential uses are allowed by conditional use permit when such
uses are fully integrated into a minimum 300-room full-service

City Council; and
WHEREAS, the Anaheim City Planning Commission has reviewed the proposed
Project Actions, and by motion did recommend that the City Council find and determine that the
Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for this project reflects the City's independent judgment and
analysis, that the change from visitor-serving uses to residential uses will not create an additional
impact in and of itself, and that the project, as mitigated, will not have a significant effect on the
environment; approve the Mitigated Negative Declaration and adopt Updated and Modified Mitigation
Monitoring Program No. 0085b; and further determine that the Mitigated Negative Declaration and
Updated and Modified Mitigation Monitoring Program No. 0085b are adequate to serve as the required
environmental documentation for the proposed Project Actions, including the General Plan
Amendment, and satisfy all of the requirements of California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA");
and

notice thereof in the manner and as provided by law; and
WHEREAS, the City Council did duly hold and conduct such public hearing and did
give all persons interested therein an opportunity to be heard, and did receive evidence and reports and
did consider the recommendations of the Anaheim City Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, the City Council does find and determine that General Plan Amendment

PROVISIONS FOR SPECIFIC AREAS OF THE
Note No. 1: The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan provides for the development of an approximate 489.7 acre international
multi-day vacation designation resort including ongoing modifications to the Disneyland theme park, the development of a
new theme park, additional hotels and entertainment areas, administrative office facilities, new public and private parking
facilities, and an internal trensportation system. This development is within five planning Districts (Theme Park, Hotel,
Parking, Future Expansion and District A) and a C-R Overlay, which allows development within the Overlay to either be
consistent with the underlying Resort District or subject to the same land uses as in the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan No.
92-2 Zone. The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan also identifies maximum development density designations for hoteUmotel
development in the Hotel District (up to 5,600 hotel rooms for the entire District with up to 1,000 hotel rooms trensferable to
the Theme Park District), in District A (the maximum number of units permitted would be 75 hoteUmotel rooms per gross
acre or 75 hoteUmotel rooms per parcel existing on June 29, 1993, whichever is greater) and the C-R Overlay (the
maximum number of units permitted on a parcel would be the following: 1) for parcels designated Low Density - up to 50
hotel rooms per gross acre or 75 rooms, whichever is greater; and 2) for parcels designated Medium Density - up to 75
hotel rooms per gross acre or 75 rooms, whichever is greater; provided that for those parcels that are developed with
hoteUmotel rooms which exceeded the maximum density designation, the number of rooms existing on the date of adoption
of The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Ordinance may be rebuilt or modified at their existing density.) It should be noted
that accessory uses may be developed as well as other visitor-serving commerciaUretail and restaurent uses along with
these hotel/motel uses. The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan also provides for the development of the Anaheim
GardenWalk project pursuant to the Anaheim GardenWalk Overlay at the following density and subject to the approval of
Conditional Use Permit No. 4078, as amended, to permit the following: up to 569,750 square feet of specialty retail,
restaurants, and entertainment uses, including movie theaters; 1,628 hotel rooms/suites (including up to 500 vacation
ownership units) and 278,817 square feet of hotel accessory uses; a transportation center, and 4,800 parking spaces. The
Anaheim GardenWalk Overlay encompasses District A and the portion of the Parking District (East Parking Area)/CR
Overlay south of Disney Way.
Note No. 2: The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan provides for the development of approximately 582 acres within the C-R
(Commercial Recreation) District which allows for hotels, motels, convention and conference facilities, as well as
restaurants, retail shops and entertainment facilities; the PR (Public Recreation) District which encompasses the Anaheim
Convention Center and associated parking facilities and provides for the orderly use of City-owned property as well as the
existing Anaheim Hilton Hotel; the Mobilehome Park (MHP) Overlay which encompasses existing mobilehome parks within
the C-R District and provides development standards for mobilehome parks and regulations and procedures to mitigate
relocation concerns and adverse effects of displacement upon mobilehome owners when a park is converted to another
land use; and, the Anaheim Resort Residential Overlay, whk;h applies to focused areas of the Specific Plan and provides
for the incorporation of residential uses into hotel developments when such uses are fully integrated into a minimum 300-
room full-service hotel. The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan also identifies maximum development density designations in
the C-R District. These designations are based upon hotel/motel development and allow up to 2096 of each hoteUmotel
project gross square footage, excluding parking facilities, to be developed with integrated (i.e., included within the main
hoteUmotel complex) accessory uses. These accessory uses will reduce the otherwise maximum permitted hoteUmotel
density at the rate of one hoteUmotel room per six hundred (600) gross square feet of accessory use. For properties
proposed to be developed with permitted and conditionally permitted uses other than hotels/motels with accessory uses, the
treffk: generation characteristics of said uses shall not exceed those associated with the otherwise permitted hoteUmotel
(including accessory uses) density as determined by the City Traffic and Transportation Manager prior to Final Site Plan
review and approval. The density designations are as follows: "Low Density," which has a maximum density of up to 50
rooms per gross acre or 75 rooms per lot or parcel, whichever is greater, "Low-Medium Density," up to 75 rooms per gross
acre or 75 rooms per lot or parcel, whichever is greater, "Medium Density," up to 100 rooms per gross acre or 75 rooms per
lot or parcel, whichever is greater; and, "Convention Center (CC) Medium Density," up to 125 rooms per gross acre with trip
generation characteristics mitigated to the equivalent of 100 rooms per gross acre, or 75 rooms per lot or parcel, whichever
is greater. For those parcels that are developed with hoteUmotel rooms which exceed the maximum density designation,
the number of rooms existing on the date of adoption of the Anaheim Resort Specirfic Plan Ordinance may be rebuilt or
modified at their existing density. For projects that are developed in accordance with the Anaheim Resort Residential
Overlay, the maximum number of dwelling units allowed shall be less than the number of hotel rooms proposed and such
projects shall not create infrastructure impacts greater than the subject property's permitted hoteUmotel density, as
permitted by the property's underlying C-R District density designation unless otherwise mitigated through subsequent
