94-235 RESOLUTION NO. 94R-235 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING AMENDMENTS TO THE LAND USE, CIRCULATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE AND MANAGEMENT ELEMENTS OF THE ANAHEIM GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATED AS GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 333. WHEREAS, the City of Anaheim, pursuant to the recommendations of the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim, adopted a General Plan for the City of Anaheim; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission by Resolution No. PC94-102 initiated General Plan Amendment No. 333; and WHEREAS, General Plan Amendment No. 333 is to amend the Land Use, Circulation and Environmental Resource and Management Elements of the General Plan as set forth in Attachment A, which is incorporated herein, and further described as follows: 1) Land Use Element a) The City of Anaheim General Plan designates the approximately 1,046-acre Anaheim Resort, including the 549.5-acre area encompassed by the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan, for Commercial Recreation land uses. The proposed amendment would amend the Land Use Element by revising the text of the Commercial Recreation land use designation to recognize that the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan, in addition to The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan, the Hotel Circle Specific Plan and the PR (Public Recreational) Zone, implements the Commercial Recreation land use designation and establishes maximum development density designations. "Commercial-Recreation--The Commercial-Recreation category was adopted by the City in the 1960's to encourage commercial-recreation land uses primarily in the Anaheim Convention Center/Disneyland area, currently referred to as the approximate t,046-acre Anaheim Resort, and in the area around the Anaheim Stadium. For the Anaheim Resort, the Commercial- Recreation category is implemented by the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan, The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan and the Hotel Circle Specific Plan. For the area around the Anaheim Stadium, this category is implemented by the PR (Public Recreational) Zone. The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan provides for the development of approximately 549.5 acres within two land use Districts and a Mobilehome Park Overlay: 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; and, 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. 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 20% of each hotel/motel project gross square footage, excluding parking facilities, to be developed with integrated (i.e., included within the main hotel/motel complex) accessory uses. These accessory uses will reduce the otherwise maximum permitted hotel/motel density at the rate of one hotel/motel 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 traffic generation characteristics of said uses shall not exceed those associated with the otherwise permitted hotel/motel (including accessory uses) density as determined by the City Traffic and Transportation Manager prior to Final Site Plan review and approval. The 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 hotel/motel rooms which exceed the maximum density designation, the number of rooms existing on the date of adoption of the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan Ordinance may be rebuilt or modified at their existing density." b) The amendment also proposes to upgrade the Water System Maps and amend the Storm Drain and Sewer Maps to reflect the improvements described in Section 4.0, Public Facilities Plan, of the Specific Plan document 2 as further detailed in DEIR No. 313 and Mitigation Monitoring Program No. 0085. 2) Circulation Element - The Circulation Element identifies a number of arterial highways which serve the Anaheim Resort. In connection with the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan, a number of modifications are proposed to the circulation system. Following is a list of the proposed amendments: a) To redesignate Clementinc Street between Katella Avenue and Orangewood Avenue from a Secondary Arterial Highway (4 lanes, 90-foot right-of-way) to a Modified Secondary Arterial Highway (4 lanes, 87-foot right-of- way) designation. b) To redesignate Convention Way between Harbor Boulevard and approximately 1,450 feet west of Harbor Boulevard from a Primary Arterial Highway (6 lanes, 106-foot right-of-way) to a Modified Primary Arterial Highway (6 lanes, 110-feot right-of-way) designation. c) To redesignate Pacifico Avenue between Harbor Boulevard and Haster Street from a Major Arterial Highway (6 lanes, 120-foot right-of-way) to a Modified Primary Arterial Highway (6 lanes, 110-foot right-of- way) designation. d) To redesignate the portion of Manchester Avenue paralleling the I-5 east of Harbor Boulevard to north of Alro Way from a Secondary Arterial Highway (4 lanes, 90-foot right-of-way) to a Modified Secondary Arterial Highway (4 lanes, 67-foot right-of-way) designation. e) To redesignate Manchester Avenue south of the portion paralleling the I-5 (Alto Way) to the intersection of Freedman Way from a Secondary Arterial Highway (4 lanes, 90-foot right-of-way) to a Modified Secondary Arterial Highway /4 lanes, 87-foot right-of- way) designation. f) Critical Intersection Clarification - Text is proposed to be added to the Circulation Element clarifying that the Critical Intersection design for Convention Way/Harbor Boulevard, Harbor Boulevard/Katella Avenue, Haster Street-Anaheim Boulevard/Katella Avenue and Pacifico Avenue/Haster Street also includes the Anaheim Resort required street parkways/sidewalks as well as the required through- travel lanes, raised medians, left-turn lanes, and right-turn-only lanes that may also serve as bus turn outs. The Anaheim Resort street parkway/sidewalk 3 designs are identified in The Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape Program. All streets categorized as "Modified" will be added to the Circulation Element "Exceptions List" which identifies variations to the "Major", "Primary", and "Secondary" arterial highway designations. 3) Environmental Resource and Management Element - The General Plan Environmental Resource and Management Element designates approximately 58 acres southeast of Katella Avenue and Harbor Boulevard as an Agricultural Preserve. It should be noted that there is an error on the existing General Plan map with regard to location and acreage - the General Plan currently shows an Agricultural Preserve area north of the actual property location with approximately 58 acres; Figure 1 (provided in Attachment A of this resolution) shows the correct location and reflects the actual size of 56.48 acres. Currently, this acreage is subject to a California Land Conservation Act (Williamson Act) contract. A notice of non-renewal has been filed and the contract will expire on March 1, 2000. Since one of the purposes of the General Plan is to set forth long range plans for the City, the proposed amendment would remove the Agricultural Preserve designation for this acreage from the General Plan in recognition of the upcoming contract expiration. WHEREAS, the project area encompasses the area as identified on General Plan Amendment No. 333, Figures 1 through 4, within the City of Anaheim's Anaheim Resort, generally located adjacent to and southwest of the Santa Ana Freeway (I-5) and accessible from Harbor Boulevard, Ball Road, Freedman Way, Katella Avenue, West Street, Orangewood Avenue, Haster Street/Anaheim Boulevard and Walnut Street; and WHEREAS, on the 29th day of August, 1994, the City Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim did hold a duly noticed public hearing to consider General Plan Amendment No. 333. WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the City Planning Commission did duly adopt its Resolution No. PC94-113 containing a report of its findings, a summary of the evidence presented at said hearing, and recommending that said Amendment to the General Plan designated as Amendment No. 333 be adopted by the City Council changing the Land Use, Circulation and Environmental Resource and Management Elements for the aforedescribed property (Exhibit "A" for each such element) as shown on Attachment A hereto; and WHEREAS, the city Council does find and determine that Amendment No. 333 changing the Land Use, Circulation and 4 Environmental Resource and Management Elements for the aforedescribed property in accordance with Exhibit "A" for each such element, respectively, should be approved and concurs with the findings of the Planning Commission; and WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, the City Council, in Resolution No. 94R-~5~ did find that FEIR No. 313 with the Statement of Findings and Facts and Statement of Overriding Considerations and the corresponding Mitigation Monitoring Program No. 0085, addressed the environmental impacts and mitigation measures associated with (i) General Plan Amendment No. 333 pertaining to the Land Use, Circulation and Environmental Resource and Management Elements of the General Plan; (ii) The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan No. 92-2 (including Zoning and Development Standards, a Design Plan and Guidelines, and a Public Facilities Plan); (iii) the Anaheim Resort Identity Program; (iv) the Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape Program; (v) the Anaheim Resort Nonconforming Signage Program and (vi) future discretionary actions described in Draft Environmental Impact Report No. 313. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Anaheim that Amendment No. 333 to the General Plan amending the Land Use, Circulation and Environmental Resource and Management Elements for the aforedescribed property (Exhibit "A" to each element), on file with the City be, and the same are hereby, approved. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Department be, and it is hereby, instructed to amend the General Plan Text and Map to conform to General Plan Amendment No. 333 as herein adopted and approved.
