That proposed General Plan Amendment No. 2013 -00488 would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City in that the proposed amendment reflects previously- approved amendments to the General Plan and does not reflect a change in land use in and of itself, and, 3. That proposed General Plan Amendment No. 2013 -00488 would maintain the balance of land uses within the City, in that the proposed amendment would not make any changes to land use; and 4.

CITY OF ANAHEIM ) I, Eleanor Morris, Secretary of the Anaheim Planning Commission, do hereby certify that the foregoing resolution was passed and adopted at a meeting of the Anaheim Planning Commission held on September 9, 2013, by the following vote of the members thereof: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: AGARWAL, BOSTWICK, CALDWELL, LIEBERMAN, PERSAUD, RAMIREZ, SEYMOUR NOES: COMMISSIONERS: NONE ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: NONE IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 9th day of September, 2013. SECRETARY, ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION -3 - PC2013 -065 EXHIBIT "A" Proposed General Plan Amendment No. 2013 -00488 would revise the text on page LU -33 of the General Plan Land Use Element as shown below. Deletions are shown in stFikethro gh and additions are shown in underline Tables LU -5 and LU -6 are proposed to amended as shown on the "Existing" and "Proposed" tables on the following pages. Land Use Buildout Analysis Providing a blueprint for the future development of Anaheim is one of the primary purposes of the General Plan. The Land Use Plan, which includes areas within Anaheim's sphere -of- influence, identifies 16,449 16,519 acres of residential land uses, 644 659 acres of residential mixed -use land uses, and 5,619 acres of other employment - generating land uses. Assuming a probable intensity for each of the land use designations, the land use plan provides for 129,308 137,954 dwelling units (see Table LU -5). Based on a factor of 3.3 persons per household (1.5 per household in mixed -use areas), the estimated build -out population of the Land Use Plan would be 404,263 407,463 persons. Of the employment - generating land uses, the land use plan provides for a total of 44,0 1,121 acres of Neighborhood, Regional and General Commercial uses, 625 532 acres of office uses, and 22,677 2,684 acres of industrial uses and 707 acres of residential and non - residential mixed use. Combined reta-} eMPIGYM „ rated by the M Use designatiO the L and Use PaRR these land use designations would generate approximately 251,495 228,470 jobs using the probable intensity factors (FARs) for each non- residential land use designation (see Table LU -6). Additional employment opportunities will also be provided by the implementation of the Commercial Recreation land use designation through the Anaheim Resort, Disneyland Resort and Hotel Circle Specific Plans. -4- TABLE LU -5: RESIDENTIAL BUILDOUT ESTIMATES (EXISTING) Land Use Designation Probable Density Acres Dwelling I Units Persons per Household Population RESIDENTIAL Estate 0 -1.5 du /ac 1.0 1,248 1,550 3.3 5,116 Low Density 0 -6.5 du /ac 4.0 10,221 40,173 3.3 132,571 Hillside Low - Medium Density 0 -6.0 du /ac 5.0 861 3,614 3.3 11,927 Low- Medium Density 0 -18.0 du /ac 13.0 2,058 24,130 3.3 79,629 Medium Density 0 -36.0 du /ac 24.0 1,946 46,704 3.3 154,123 Corridor Residential 0 -13.0 du /ac 13.0 185 2,405 3.3 7,937 Subtota 16,519 118,577 391,303 MIXED USE Mixed Use 40.0 581 12,808 1.5 19,213 Subtota 581 12,808 19,213 TOTALS 17,100 131,385 410,515 Notes: The number of dwelling units for each designation is calculated by adding the number of existing dwelling units in areas of the City that are not anticipated to change to the number of units that are calculated by multiplying the gross acres of areas that are most likely to change by the probable residential densities, then by adding the assumed number of dwelling units for the Mountain Park Specific Plan described below. Dwelling units in areas not anticipated to change are the number of dwelling units in areas that are not likely to be further subdivided or areas that have a fixed buildout capacity through a specific plan. These are determined by: 1) adding the number of parcels in areas that are not likely to further subdivide; or 2) by referencing the number of units expected at buildout for areas addressed through specific plans (see Table LU -1). The Mountain Park Specific Plan area assumes a total buildout of 2,500 dwelling units - 485 units of Low Medium Hillside Density and 2,015 units of Low Medium Density. Mixed -Use densities and buildout projections for The Platinum Triangle are identified separately in Table LU -4.
