RES-2010-188 RESOLUTION NO. 2010- 188 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 2008 -00471 PERTAINING TO SEVERAL ELEMENTS OF THE ANAHEIM GENERAL PLAN. (REVISED PLATINUM TRIANGLE EXPANSION PROJECT) WHEREAS, the Platinum Triangle comprises approximately 820 acres located at the confluence of Interstate 5 and SR -57 Freeways in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, generally east of Interstate 5 Freeway, west of the Santa Ana River channel and SR -57 Freeway, south of the Southern California Edison easement, and north of the Anaheim City limit area. The Platinum Triangle encompasses the Angel Stadium of Anaheim, the Honda Center, the Grove of Anaheim, the Anaheim Amtrak/Metrolink Station, and surrounding residential and mixed use development, light industrial buildings, industrial parks, distribution facilities, offices, hotels, restaurants, and retail development; and WHEREAS, since 1996, the Anaheim City Council (the "City Council ") has approved several actions relating to the area encompassed by the Platinum Triangle; and WHEREAS, on May 30, 1996, the Anaheim City Planning Commission (the "Planning Commission ") certified Final Environmental Impact Report No. 320 and adopted Area Development Plan No. 120 for that portion of the Stadium property associated with the Sportstown Development. Area Development Plan No. 120, which entitled a total of 119,543 seats for new and /or renovated stadiums, 750,000 square feet of urban entertainment /retail uses, a 500 -room hotel (550,000 square feet), a 150,000- square -foot exhibition center, 250,000 square feet of office development and 15,570 on -site parking spaces. The Grove of Anaheim, the renovated Angel Stadium of Anaheim, and the Stadium Gateway Office Building were developed/ renovated under this plan; and WHEREAS, on March 2, 1999, the City Council adopted the Anaheim Stadium Area Master Land Use Plan (MLUP). The boundaries for this MLUP were generally the same as those for the Platinum Triangle, with the exception that this MLUP included 15 acres adjacent to I -5 that are not a part of the current Platinum Triangle boundaries. As part of the approval process for the Anaheim Stadium Area MLUP, the City Council also certified Final Environmental Impact Report No. 321 and adopted Mitigation Monitoring Program No. 106. Development within the Anaheim Stadium Area was implemented through the Sports Entertainment (SE) Overlay Zone, which permitted current uses to continue or expand within the provisions of the existing zoning, while providing those who may want to develop sports, entertainment, retail, and office uses with standards appropriate to those uses, including increased land use intensity. Implementation of this Overlay Zone was projected to result in a net loss of 491,303 square feet of industrial space and increases of 1,871,285 square feet of new office space, 452,026 square feet of new retail space, and 991,603 square feet of new hotel space. Projects that were developed under the SE Overlay Zone included the Ayers Hotel, the Arena Corporate Center, and the Westwood School of Technology; and -1- WHEREAS, on May 25, 2004, the City Council approved a comprehensive citywide General Plan and Zoning Code Update, which included a new vision for the Platinum Triangle. The General Plan Update changed the General Plan designations within the project area from Commercial Recreation and Business Office /Mixed Use /Industrial to Mixed -Use, Office - High, Office -Low, Industrial, Open Space and Institutional to provide opportunities for existing uses to transition to mixed -use, residential, office, and commercial uses. The General Plan Update also established the overall maximum development intensity for the Platinum Triangle, which permitted up to 9,175 dwelling units, 5,000,000 square feet of office space, 2,044,300 square feet of commercial uses, industrial development at a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 0.50, and institutional development at a maximum FAR of 3.0. In addition, the square footage /seats allocated to the existing Honda Center and all of the development intensity entitled by Area Development Plan No. 120 was incorporated into the Platinum Triangle Mixed -Use land use designation. Final Environmental Impact Report No. 330, which was prepared for the General Plan and Zoning Code Update and associated actions, analyzed the above development intensities on a citywide impact level and adopted mitigation monitoring programs, including an Updated and Modified Mitigation Monitoring Plan No. 106 for the Platinum Triangle; and WHEREAS, in order to provide the implementation tools necessary to realize the City's new vision for the Platinum Triangle, on August 17, 2004, the City Council replaced the Anaheim Stadium Area MLUP with the Platinum Triangle Master Land Use Plan (the "PTMLUP "), replaced the SE Overlay Zone with the Platinum Triangle Mixed Use (PTMU) Overlay Zone, approved the form of the Standardized Platinum Triangle Development Agreement and approved associated zoning reclassifications. Under these updated zoning regulations, property owners desiring to develop under the PTMU Overlay Zone provisions are required to enter into a standardized Development Agreement with the City of Anaheim; and WHEREAS, on October 25, 2005, the City Council adopted and certified the Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (FSEIR) No. 332 including Updated and Modified Mitigation Monitoring Plan No. 106A for the PTMLUP and associated actions, which utilized Final Environmental Impact Report No. 321 (adopted for the Anaheim Stadium MLUP, as discussed above) and Mitigation Monitoring Program No. 106. At the present time, Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report No. 332 serves as the primary environmental document for subsequent land use actions within the Platinum Triangle, including necessary infrastructure improvements and all local discretionary approvals requested to implement the PTMLUP, consistent with Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines. The General Plan Amendment associated with Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report No. 332 increased the allowable development intensity within the Platinum Triangle to 9,500 residential units; 5,000,000 square feet of office uses; and 2,254,400 square feet of commercial uses; and WHEREAS, since the approval and certification of Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report No. 332, the majority of the permitted development intensity on private properties analyzed by said SEIR has been either developed, is under construction or has been designated for development under approved Development Agreements. In addition, City Council has approved two addendums to Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report No. 332 in conjunction with requests to increase the Platinum Triangle intensity by 67 residential units; 55,550 square feet of office development; and, 10,000 square feet of commercial uses. A -2- project Environmental Impact Report has also been approved to increase the allowable development intensity by an additional 699 residential units to bring the total allowable development intensity within the Platinum Triangle to up to 10,266 residential units; 5,055,550 square feet of office uses; and 2,264,400 square feet of commercial uses; and WHEREAS, in order to increase the overall densities within the Platinum Triangle to accommodate market demands for increased densities, and to further the project objectives outlines above, on February 13, 2007, the City embarked upon a process to adopt a General Plan Amendment; amendments to the PTMLUP, PTMU Overlay Zone, and the Platinum Triangle Standardized Development; and related zoning reclassifications to increase the development intensities within the Platinum Triangle to up to 18,363 residential units; 5,657,847 square feet of commercial uses; 16,819,015 square feet of office uses; and 1,500,000 square feet of institutional uses (the "Platinum Triangle Expansion Project "); and WHEREAS, as required by law, the City prepared an environmental impact report in connection with the Platinum Triangle Expansion Project. The Draft Subsequent Environmental Impact Report for the Platinum Triangle Expansion Project, DSEIR No. 334, and was first circulated for a 45 -day public review period from July 12, 2007 to August 27, 2007. On October 4, 2007, the City released the DSEIR No. 334 for an additional 45 -day public review. The recirculated DSEIR No. 334 contained minor revisions to the Project Description and additional traffic information based on comments received from the City of Orange and California Department of Transportation. Other minor revisions to the DSEIR were made based on other comments received on the previously circulated DSEIR No. 334. The recirculated FSEIR No. 334 was approved in December 2007 and reapproved in April 2008; and WHEREAS, following the approval of FSEIR No. 334, a lawsuit was filed challenging the adequacy of FSEIR No. 334. In consideration of the City's exemplary historical record in avoiding CEQA litigation and its commitment to proper environmental review, the City Council repealed the approval of the Platinum Triangle Expansion Project, including FSEIR No. 334 and various related actions, and directed staff to prepare a new Subsequent Environmental Impact Report for the project; and WHEREAS, on October 14, 2008, the City Council initiated (i) General Plan Amendment No. 2008 - 00471; (ii) Zoning Code Amendment No. 2008 - 00074; (iii) an amendment to the Platinum Triangle Master Land Use Plan, including the Platinum Triangle Standardized Development Agreement Form (MIS2008- 00283); (iv) Reclassification No. 2008- 00222; (v) Subsequent Environmental Impact Report No. 2008 - 00339; and (vi) Water Supply Assessment (MIS2008- 00234) pertaining to the Platinum Triangle (collectively referred to herein as the "Revised Platinum Triangle Expansion Project "); and -3- WHEREAS, General Plan Amendment No. 2008 -00471 proposes to amend the Anaheim General Plan as follows: 1.
