WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the proposal to amend the Circulation
Element of the General Plan to reclassify Douglas Road from a local street to a Secondary
Arterial, designated as General Plan Amendment No. 2010 - 00480, and does hereby find and
determine, based upon its independent review and analyses of Environmental Impact Report No.
343 prepared in connection with the Anaheim Regional Intermodal Center, and the requirements
of California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA "), that Environmental Impact Report No. 343
is adequate to serve as the required environmental documentation for said proposed General Plan
Amendment and satisfies all the requirements of CEQA; and that no further environmental
documentation need be prepared for the proposed General Plan Amendment; and
WHEREAS, the City Council does find and determine that General Plan
Amendment No. 2010 - 00480, as described above, should be approved, and that the evidence
presented shows that all of the conditions exist as set forth in Subsection .030 of Section
18.68.050 of the Anaheim Municipal Code for the following reasons:
1. That the proposed amendment to change the designation of Douglas Road from a local
street to a Secondary Arterial maintains the internal consistency of the General Plan, i.e., the
proposed amendment is needed to (i) accommodate current development and future growth
established by the Land Use Element and necessary to maintain appropriate levels of service; (ii)
ensure that the provision of City services and infrastructure keeps pace with new development
and subsequent changes in population and employment; (iii) facilitate the efficient movement of
employees, visitors, residents and goods throughout the City; and (iv) maintain consistency with
County and regional transportation plans.
2. The proposed amendment will facilitate the efficient movement of employees, visitors,
residents and goods throughout the City and maintain consistency with County and regional
transportation plans; therefore, the amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest,
health, safety, convenience or welfare of the City.
3. The proposed amendment to the planned roadway network will maintain the balance
of land uses within the City by accommodating current development and future growth
established by the Land Use Element while preserving appropriate levels of service and
consistency with County and regional transportation plans.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Anaheim that General Plan Amendment No. 2010 -00480 be, and the same is hereby, approved,
to reclassify Douglas Road from a local street to a Secondary Arterial, and amend Figure C -1
"Planned Roadway Network" in the Circulation Element of the General Plan as shown in Exhibit
"A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
