River, on the east by Imperial Highway (SR-90), and
on the west by the Orange Freeway (SR-57).
Request: City-initiated request for the Planning Commission to recommend City Council approval of
the Anaheim Canyon Specific Plan (ACSP) Project.
The ACSP has been prepared to provide the
framework for current and future development in Anaheim Canyon. The ACSP would replace the development requirements of the existing zoning on
the properties in this area with the requirements of the
ACSP. The ACSP is intended to remove regulatory
obstacles to the reuse of existing structures and promote infill development of currently vacant or underutilized properties. The goal of the ACSP is to
encourage sustainable development and create a
business environment attractive to a wide variety of
industries. Environmental Determination: The Planning
Commission will determine whether to recommend
City Council certification of Environmental Impact
Report No. 348 and adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations, Mitigation Monitoring Program No. 312, and the Anaheim Canyon Specific Plan Water
Supply Assessment.
Continued from the August 24, 2015 Planning Commission meeting.
