1. The proposed General Plan Amendment 2012 -00485 maintains internal
consistency with the General Plan as the proposed relocation of the public park is consistent with
the goals and policies set forth in the General Plan for the Mixed Use land use designation and
the Platinum Triangle Master Land Use Plan.
2. The proposed General Plan Amendment 2012 -00485 would not be detrimental to
the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City but would enhance traffic
and pedestrian circulation to and from the community and provide a public park as an amenity
for the Platinum Stadium Apartments Project, as well as for the surrounding community;
3. The proposed General Plan Amendment 2012 -00485 will be consistent with the
intent of the General Plan and would maintain the balance of land uses within the City; and
4. The Property is physically suitable to accommodate the proposed modification to
the Land Use Map of the General Plan, including but not limited to, access, physical constraints,
topography, provision of utilities, and compatibility with surrounding land uses because the
relocation of the public park is easily accessible to the general public.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Anaheim
that proposed General Plan Amendment No. 2012 -00485 be, and the same is hereby, approved,
to amend "Figure LU -4: Land Use Plan" of the Land Use Element of the General Plan, "Figure
C -5: Existing and Proposed Bicycle Facilities" of the Circulation Element of the General Plan,
and "Figure G -1: Green Plan" in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, Exhibit B and Exhibit C,
respectively.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the proposed General Plan Amendment No. 2012-
00485 is granted contingent upon the approval of Miscellaneous Case No. 2012 - 00553,
Amended and Restated Development Agreement No. 2006 - 00002, Revised Tentative Tract Map
No. 16860, and Variance No. 2012 - 04909, now pending.
