AMENDMENT NO. 17 TO THE ANAHEIM RESORT SPECIFIC PLAN (ARSP) NO. 92-2 ZONING CODE AMENDMENT (CHAPTER 18.116) – ARSP NO. 92-2 ZONING CODE AMENDMENT (SECTION 18.40.080) – STRUCTURAL HEIGHT LIMITATIONS – ANAHEIM COMMERCIAL RECREATION AREA AMENDMENT NO. 6 TO THE ANAHEIM RESORT PUBLIC REALM LANDSCAPE PROGRAM AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO THE ANAHEIM RESORT IDENTITY PROGRAM FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT NO. 96-01 VACATION/ABANDONMENT OF THREE SEGMENTS OF STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY APPLICANT: Deanna Detchemendy, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts U.S., Inc., 500 South Buena Vista Street, Burbank, CA 91521 AGENT: Joe Haupt, Spectrum Development Group, Inc., 4 Venture, Suite 110, Irvine, CA 92618 LOCATION: The DisneylandForward Project Site is located within the City of Anaheim, primarily within an area known as The Anaheim Resort®, a 1,078-acre portion of the City especially designated by the City’s General Plan for Commercial Recreation land uses, and which 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. The Project Site is generally located west of the I-5 freeway, south of Vermont Avenue, east of Walnut Street, and north of
Chapman Avenue, and also includes areas identified in the General Plan as planned extensions of Gene Autry Way between Harbor Boulevard and Haster Street and of Clementine Street between Katella Avenue and Orangewood Avenue, portions of which are outside of The Anaheim Resort, in
the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California. The Project Site is located in areas governed by the DRSP and the ARSP. The Project Site
encompasses The Disneyland Resort, including the existing Theme Park, Hotel, Parking and Future Expansion Districts, and Disney Properties within the ARSP, which are listed below:
• 1515 S. Manchester Avenue (currently used as the Manchester Cast Member Lot)
• 1585 S. Manchester Avenue (currently occupied by an office building and also used as the Manchester Cast Member Lot)
• 1530 S. Harbor Boulevard (currently used as the Manchester Cast Member Lot)
• 1900 S. Harbor Boulevard (currently used as the Toy Story Parking Lot)
• 333 W. Ball Road (currently used as the Harbor Cast Member Lot)
• 1717 S. Disneyland Drive (Paradise Pier Hotel, recently renamed to “Pixar Place Hotel”).
7 April 16, 2024
To the extent the Proposed Project would update The Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape Program, The Anaheim Resort Identity Program and the Anaheim Commercial Recreation Area Maximum Permitted Structural Height Map, the Project Site includes the entire Anaheim Resort
(inclusive of the ARSP, DRSP, and Hotel Circle Specific Plan No. 93-1). REQUEST: The applicant, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts U.S., Inc. (Disney), requests approval of the proposed DisneylandForward Project (DEV2021-00069) (Proposed Project) to allow continued, long-term growth of The Disneyland Resort. The Proposed Project would allow the transfer of uses permitted under The Disneyland Resort Project to other areas of The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan (DRSP) No. 92-1 and the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan (ARSP) No. 92-2 owned or leased by Disney or other subsidiaries of The Walt Disney Company (Disney Properties). It would also allow future streamlined review of Disney projects in these areas. The Proposed Project would not increase the amount of development square footage or hotel rooms currently allowed in the DRSP and analyzed in EIR No. 311, which the City certified in 1993, and Addendum No. 1 to EIR No. 311, which the City approved in 1996, or the number of hotel rooms currently allowed in the ARSP and analyzed in Supplemental EIR No. 340, which the City certified in 2012 and is a Supplemental EIR to EIR No. 313, which the City certified in 1994.
However, it would permit an increase of 4,376 theme park-related employee parking spaces in the ARSP and provide for future administrative review by the City of Disney’s development projects on Disney Properties within the DRSP and the ARSP. It would also modify the limits of the existing
Theme Park and Hotel District boundaries within the existing DRSP perimeter (these two Districts would be combined and the expanded District would be called the Theme Park District) and rename the Future Expansion District to the Southeast District within the DRSP. It would also establish
Overlays for Disney Properties in the ARSP (Theme Park East Overlay, Theme Park West Overlay and Parking Overlay). Disney is not seeking additional square footage for theme park uses or retail entertainment uses or additional hotel rooms within The Disneyland Resort as part of this Project. Instead, the Proposed Project would allow Disney to move the existing Disneyland Resort approvals for these uses to other Disney Properties governed by the DRSP and ARSP. The City Council will consider the following proposed entitlements associated with the Proposed Project: GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT: The applicant requests to amend the City of Anaheim General Plan Land Use and Circulation Elements and the City’s Bicycle Master Plan, to revise maps, figures, text, and tables throughout the General Plan to conform to the following proposed changes: (A) Amend the Land Use Element, Table LU-4, “General Plan Density Provisions for Specific
Areas of the City” to amend the descriptions of The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan and the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan to reflect the District names, new Overlays and associated density proposed as part of the DisneylandForward Project; (B) Amend the Circulation Element to (1) remove the planned future extensions of Clementine Street between Katella Avenue and Orangewood Avenue and Gene Autry Way between Harbor Boulevard and Haster Street; and (2) reclassify Disney Way between Anaheim Boulevard and
Harbor Boulevard from a six-lane Major Arterial to a four-lane Primary Arterial (with no change to the width of the ultimate public right-of-way); (C) Amend the Circulation Element to reflect the following intersection lane configurations: (1) at Harbor Boulevard and Convention Way, provide two left-turn lanes, one shared through/right-turn lane, and one exclusive right-turn lane on the eastbound approach and one left-turn lane, one shared through/right-turn lane, and one exclusive right-turn lane on the westbound approach
(consistent with existing configuration); and (2) at Haster Street and Gene Autry Way: provide a single shared left-turn/through/right-turn lane for the eastbound approach and three left-turn lanes and two right-turn lanes for the westbound approach. The northbound approach would be equipped with a right-turn signal overlapping with the westbound left-turn signal phase;
8 April 16, 2024
(D) Amend the Circulation Element and the City’s Bicycle Master Plan to (1) remove the Class I Bike Path in the Southern California Edison right-of-way between Harbor Boulevard and Anaheim Boulevard and add a Class I Bike Path on the north side of Disney Way between Clementine
Street and Anaheim Boulevard; (2) add a Class I Bike Path on the west side of Clementine Street between Alro Way and Disney Way (limits subject to change based on final location of a bike parking facility); and (3) modify the classification of the planned bike facility on Walnut Street between Katella Avenue and Ball Road from Class II Bike Lanes to a Class I Bike Path on the east side of Walnut Street.

ZONING CODE AMENDMENT (SECTION 18.40.080) – STRUCTURAL HEIGHT LIMITATIONS – ANAHEIM COMMERCIAL RECREATION AREA: The applicant requests to amend Chapter 18.40 (General Development Standards) of Title 18 of the Anaheim Municipal Code to amend the Anaheim Commercial Recreation Area Maximum Permitted Structural Height Map (Anaheim Municipal Code Section 18.40.080 (Structural Height Limitations – Anaheim Commercial Recreation Area) to provide for the DRSP to regulate building heights within a larger portion of the DRSP Theme Park District and the Southeast District and the ARSP to regulate building heights within the ARSP Theme Park East and Theme Park West Overlays. The DRSP and ARSP would allow for taller heights in some areas than are currently allowed; it would also reduce the allowed heights in other areas. These changes would not affect allowed heights on non-Disney properties. AMENDMENT NO. 6 TO THE ANAHEIM RESORT PUBLIC REALM LANDSCAPE PROGRAM:
The applicant requests to amend The Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape Program to allow for the use of improved technologies and more low water plants. The Public Realm Landscape Program would include new landscape concept exhibits, updating and removing them from the
DRSP and ARSP. Additionally, photos and graphics would be updated with current images of landscaping in The Anaheim Resort. AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO THE ANAHEIM RESORT IDENTITY PROGRAM: The applicant requests
to amend The Anaheim Resort Identity Program to describe the general locations of pedestrian bridges in The Anaheim Resort, consistent with the proposed amendments to the DRSP and ARSP. Additionally, photos and graphics would be updated with current images of identity elements in The Anaheim Resort. FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT NO. 96-01: The applicant requests to amend Development Agreement No. 96-01 between the Walt Disney World Co.
(renamed Walt Disney Parks and Resorts U.S., Inc. in 2009) and the City of Anaheim to provide continued certainty to Disney to facilitate growth and investment in The Disneyland Resort and specified benefits to the City.
