and that the proposed amendment maintains the internal consistency of the General Plan as the proposed
modifications to the Anaheim GardenWalk Overlay are consistent with the goals and policies set forth in the
General Plan for the Commercial Recreation land use designation and The Anaheim Resort and the modified
density does not result in the need for additional infrastructure improvements or public facilities, beyond those
previously planned for The Anaheim Resort.
2. The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or
welfare of the City;
3. The proposed amendment would maintain the balance of land uses within the City; and

Anaheim GardenWalk Project and Mitigation Monitoring Program No. 004a conducted for the Proposed Project
Actions pursuant to the requirements of CEQA, including Section 21166 of the California Public Resources
Code and Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines, and the evidence received at the public hearing, that the

TABLE LIJ -4: GENERAL PLAN DENSITY PROVISIONS FOR SPECIFIC AREAS OF THE CITY (CONTINUED)
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 transportation 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 hotel/motel development in the Hotel District (up to 5,600 hotel rooms for the entire District with up to
1,000 hotel rooms transferable to the Theme Park District), in District A (the maximum number of units permitted would
be 75 hotel/motel rooms per gross acre or 75 hotel/motel 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 hotel/motel 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
commercial /retail and restaurant 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 €.69 590,265 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, which 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 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 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; "Low -
Medium Density (Modified)," up to 252 rooms and 75,593 square feet of accessory uses; "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. 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 hotel/motel density, as permitted by the property's underlying C -R District density
1 designation unless otherwise mitigated through subsequent environmental analysis.
