Development Agreement was 0obeconsidered byCouncil a1this time.
The Fiscal Impacts Study Report projected submt8nUa|'VbgnuwthandincnamSedaCnnornic
activity not just for Anaheim, but for the entire region. One report, prepared byEconomic and
Planning Systems, |nc..projected netrevenuesfrornthe Resort would grow nearly 8OY6from the
then -current net $11million io$0Dmillion in2005. Today, the annual net resort revenue tothe
General Fund is $70 million; a 700% increase in net revenue to the City from that period.
All the plan development required extensive environmental impact studies of traffic, utilities, and
other public resources. The City certified the Environmental Impact Report (E|R)for the
Disneyland Resort project in1983. The BRsremain valid and Ms. Ridge addressed the resulting
mitigation measures for land use, transportation and circulation, air quality, noise, earth
resources, ground water and surface hydrology, construction impacts, employment, public service
and utilities, hazardous materials, visual resources and aesthetics, cultural resources, and
energy. She reported the appropriate city department confirmed compliance with each mitigation
measure. Ongoing measures do not require further review once compliance had been satisfied
for eperiod ofone year, which was completed several years ago. However, Disney voluntarily
reports progress onthese measures. |naddition tVthe E|Rmitigation measures, there were
numerous conditions ofapproval Disney also must satisfy. She reported, inthe past, public
speakers have raised questions associated with some of the measures and she presented
responses to each. To encourage carpooling and trip reductions for cast members and park
patrons, Disney provides incentives for annual pass holders, including limited edition buttons;
convenient drop-off and pick-up locations; and partnering with transportation providers on ticket
promotions. For cast members, employee transportation programs such as, monetary incentives,

transportation is demonstrated through their participation in the Anaheim Transportation Network
(ATN). Their efforts in water recycling include diverting all non -storm water to the Orange County
Water District's (C)C8/[))Groundwater Replenishment System (GVVRG); in addiboO, all ponds and
onaeko are on g closed loop filtration system. The purple -line water recycling for irrigation has not
been implemented yet. Last|y, mitigation measures pertaining to fireworks include seeking annual
permits; however, Disney pulls monthly permits, informing the Fine Department ofthe location and
time of the firework shows.

encompassed 5O1acres ofthe Anaheim Resort. Uprovides for the development ofhotels,
nlote|e. convention and conference facilities, restaurants, retail shops, and entertainment uses.

public and private parking facilities, internal transportation oysterns, and the ongoing modification
of Disneyland. With both of these specific plans, the City master -planned this entire area tokeep
its uses conducive toaresort environment.
In terms of the Infrastructure and Parking Finance Aoreernent, Ms. Ridge reported the agreement
was critical for identifying the obligations of the City, the Authority, and Disney for financing and
construction ofpublic improvements inthe Resort area and sets forth afinancial framework under
discussion for the previous six years. Disney committed to @ significant investment in
development on its property, at its expense, vvhi|a the City committed to expansion of the
Convention Center and public infrastructure. Primary funding was secured through issuance of
revenue bonds and supplemented by federal, state, and enterprise money for a combined public
investment inthe Resort area of $55Omillion, with the debt service paid through three percentage
points ofthe 15%TOT rate and bythe incremental tax revenues from the Disney properties,
above the base. Any revenue shortfalls are the risk of Disney, and because of the construction of
aparking facility, the Convention Center gained parking spaces. Ms. Ridge addressed other
significant components of the agreement including exemption from new taxes and a $5 million
commitment toneighborhood improvements.
Ms. Ridge reported on the Public Parking Facilities Operating Lease, noting it provides parking for
upto7.5DOvehicles. The Convention Center receives 75Y6ofgross parking revenues and
Disney ieresponsible for all costs and operations. The structure will become Disney property
upon expiration Dfthe lease.

structure, they own part of the land, and pay a lease for a portion of it through a third party.

structure go0ODisney. The parking structure was built with bond proceeds, but norevenue from
the parking structure is used to pay the annual debt service, but rather by taxes generated bythe
Resort.
Ms. Ridge reported the agreement never provided for Convention Center parking in the Mickey
and Friends parking structure. Convention Center parking iocoordinated with Disney and the
agreement specifies up to a maximum of 7,500 spaces the Convention Center could use and

Resort improvements and the company generating visitors tothe Resort receives the revenues.
K8a. Ridge reported onthe development agreements including major provisions providing vesting
and development rights for all Disney -owned or controlled properties within the Disneyland
Specific Plan for 40 years, except for the hotel development rights which were vested for 20
years. The development agreement requires Disney tocomplete the opening day project;
requires the City to provide standard municipal services as provided elsewhere in the City;
commits Disney toadvancing aResort-funded maintenance district toprovide additional services;

pay standard fees for development and/or additional costs for any processing that is expedited;
commits Disney to establish a pnVgnarn to provide hiring opportunities for Anaheim residents;
requires $5 million for neighborhood improvements; and requires an annual review to confirm
continuing good -faith compliance. She addressed provisions for the annual review for which
Council will designate compliance including whether further development conducted by Disney
meets legal requirements and the Anaheim jobs program and stated staff had determined
compliance with both provisions.
In response to Mayor Tait, Ms. Ridge reported further developments would include upgrades,
additional back -of house facilities, and changing out rides; any activity done during the review
period within the Disneyland Resort -Specific Plan Area. Planning staff would ensure that the
necessary permits were pulled and that any potential mitigation measures were met.
Planning and Building Director David Belmer added "legal requirements" refers to whether Disney
follows the Disneyland Resort Specific Plan, the zoning document controlling what Disney io
doing. As Disney continues to develop its property, the City expects it to comply with the
Disneyland Resort Specific Plan.

William Fitzgerald reported Disney does not pay property taxes onthe $93million parking
structure and felt the matter should be considered.
Cynthia Ward referenced the fireworks permit and expressed concerns the only City requirement
was that Disney must tell the Fire Department when and where the show was going, and the
public does not know what the firework fallout debris consists of. She alleged the numbers onthe
Parking Finance Agreement does not match what she has seen previoUs|y, noting it was possible
they were amended. In terms of the parking gor8ge, she opined Disney p@tn)O8 m/oU|d have paid
for their own parking structure. She referenced Council Member Murray's question about
businesses investing in Anaheim and stated many businesses get billions of tax -payer monies
invested back into them.
With no other comments offered, Mayor Tait closed public comments.

increased exposure ofthe south side 0fthe park. In the agreement, there ieaprovision about
visual enhancement and revitalization and Mayor Pro Tern Vanderbilt wondered if that would
include additional screening inthe future, Principal Planner Linda Johnson reported the Specific
Plan required bmi|dinge, wherein there was entertainment use, to be screened or articulated and
does not require anattraction 1obescreened.
Mayor Tait stated the back side of Car Land looks unfinished and Ms. Johnson confirmed itdid
not require screening, as it is an attraction, but staff is encouraging more screening on new
developments and will continue |odoso.
|nterms 0fthe fireworks shows, Mayor Tait stated there needs 0obeassurances that the
fireworks are safe relative totheir fallout debris. City Manager Paul Emery reported Disney
meets the requirements set forth by the City as well as theAQ[N[). He stated the City can
request documentation addressing these concerns.
Council Member Murray asked whether there was discussion about fireworks safety when the
agreements were originally approved. YN8. Ridge stated she was unable to find anything related
tothat, but emphasized Disney works closely with the AQyWDand their launch system imsbate-of-

would have been reported over time, and explained the compressed air system and fallout debris
lands onDisney property.

asked regarding the $1.5billion City investment versus the $1.4billion Disney investment. K4m.

7,500 parking spaces is addressed in the Public Parking Facilities Operating Lease, Section
8.3.2. In terms of investment numbers, for the 1996 revitalization Disney invested $1.4 billion and
the Qh'e public improvements were $550 million.

Mayor Pro Tem Vanderbilt referenced an article where he read Disney was applying for a permit
regarding drones and stated, with increased technology, Disney addresses the fireworks issues
and monitors and collects particulate matter due to the proximity of the 5 Freeway.
Council Member Moreno thanked Disney for allowing an extension on the review to allow
thorough consideration by the public and Council and thanked staff for the extensive
presentation. Additionally, he thanked Disney for investing in the City. He referenced the jobs
program and asked regarding specific numbers in terms of jobs provided to Anaheim residents.
Ms. Ridge stated she only has the information that Disney provided relative to 5,000 of 29,000
cast members living in Anaheim and added the agreement did not specify that a certain
proportion of jobs would go to Anaheim residents nor suggest wages or goals but Disney has
many career path programs within the company and the college education component of the
program is open to everyone, with a focus on Anaheim residents.
In terms of housing, Council Member Moreno asked how many actual affordable -housing units
were built, and Ms. Ridge reported the requirement to build 500 units was replaced with a $5
million commitment. The City hired a consultant who did outreach to residents resulting in the
Anaheim Resort Neighborhood Improvement Program. The program's goals included increasing
the livability in neighborhoods surrounding the Anaheim Resort and Ms. Ridge addressed the
guiding principles of the program. The $5 million from the 1996 agreement was combined with $6
million of already -existing dollars in the Housing Authority and Redevelopment to make for a
combined investment in the neighborhood of over $11 million. The $5 million came from bond
proceeds and funded a $1 million land acquisition in Hermosa Village, $500,000 land acquisition
in Guinida Lane, $2 million in street -light construction, $174,000 in the Vermont/Citron
neighborhood improvements, $280,000 in tree -planting, $50,000 for Palm Village neighborhood
entry sign, $95,000 for Orangewood Avenue and Mountainview improvements, $200,000 in City
and contract labor, $250,000 for Wilkin Way sewer and water improvements, Katella Parkway
tree replacement, engineering field inspection expenses, and engineering and professional work
expenses. Ms. Ridge indicated she does not have the information regarding additional housing
units built because of the agreement but could obtain it later and added the use of the $5 million
freed up more money from the Housing Authority and Redevelopment to invest in affordable
units.
Council Member Moreno asked regarding the $1.4 billion and Ms. Ridge stated that is the amount
of private investment Disney put into their property. She added the principal balance remaining
on the bonds is $371 million; the total in principal and interest through the term will be
approximately $1 billion. In terms of fireworks, Council Member Moreno asked staff to examine it
and commented on clouds of pollutants moving in the area; it is unclear whether the pollution in
the area is because of Disney fireworks or because of traffic. In terms of project quality, he
requested clarification regarding the recently -built hotel having to be a four-star hotel. Ms. Ridge
reported the vesting for hotel development expired at twenty years (2016). The development
agreement never set forth a four -diamond requirement but that the hotels built would have to be
of equal quality to the Wilderness Lodge in Florida. Ms. Johnson explained that in order to
determine the hotels were of equal quality, staff obtained visuals and visited and evaluated the
Wilderness Lodge. When the building plans were received by the appropriate departments,
including the City Manager's Office, staff was able to get an idea of the interior and finishes.
Along with the inspection, staff knew what to expect and was satisfied. Council Member Moreno
commented positively on Disney's compliance with the development agreements through many
different programs. He noted there are Disney programs offered that are beyond the
requirements of the development agreement.
Council Member Kring reported Disney spends $4.2 million extra each year for the benefit of
Anaheim residents and Orange County. They provided over $75,000 into five grade schools,
City Council Minutes ofApril 25,ZO17
Page 6of37
over five years, for music and music instruments. They also fund all the KabOorn!playgrounds in
the City. In terms of the bonds, residents agreed to pay 2% extra, clearly identified as going to
the Resort area, and if it had not been approved, the TOT would not have been increased.
Council Member Faessel recalled the quality of the hotels was rated according to cost per room
and was not tied to@nAAA designation. Ms. Ridge reported the Hotel Incentive Program ianot
contingent upon properties receiving a4-diaOnondrating byAAA, but the City uses those
standards to determine their quality. K80. Johnson reiterated in evaluating the quality of huhs(e.
staff knew what was expected and was satisfied Disney complied.
Council Member Murray thanked staff for the presentation and felt it would be helpful, in
considering bond costs, toconsider the totality ofthe revenue. She asked about the origina/,
anticipated return on investment and Ms. Ridge reported a fiscal analysis was done byEconomic
Planning and Systems Incorporated, who determined, with this investment inthe Resort, the net
amount ofResort revenues, which otthe time was $11million, would grow almost 8O96tn$10
million net tothe General Fund. Today, the Resort ioproducing $7Omillion net iothe General
Fund. Council Member Murray reported the agreement currently before Council was originally
unanimously approved and the 2Y6increase was placed onthe ballot and approved byvoters in
1996. That money was set aside for the Resort area, as approved bxvoters. The agreement has
exceeded the City's expectations and estimates and Disney has not only upheld, but exceeded,
the basic compliance connrn|trnentm made tothe City. The visitors Disney draws from around the
world, fund on a gross level annually 50% of the City's General Fund revenue. The value to'
residents who voted for the 2% increase is in terms of police, fire, parks and libraries, and other
City services relied upon for the quality oflife present iUAnaheim. :She added Disney has been a
corporate partner for sixty years and it has been a wary productive, valuable partnership for the
City.
In response to Mayor Tait's question, Ms. Ridge referenced the Public Parking Facility Operating
Lease and read that representatives of the Convention Center and Disney shall meet on an
annual basis to determine the |avo| of available, shared -use parking, between a rninirnunn of
1,000 and a maximum of 7,500 during times other than specific Disney peak dates. Mayor Tait
expressed surprise at the small amount of revenue generated by the parking structure.
Director of Convention, Sports and Entertainment Tom Morton reported the current parking rate is
$15 and last calendar year, they used the parking facilities approximately 89 times. He explained
they attempt bzkeep patrons oaclose aepossible, with overflow parking first sent tODisney and
then bJthe (3ardenVVa|korthe stadium. Use average about 1,ODDto1.5OOspaces and, he
added when it is not a Disney black -out day, they are guaranteed at least 1,000 parking spaces.
In terms of fireworks, Mayor Tait stated the City wants to ensure they are safe. Staff will research
the matter and report back toCouncil astohow safety of fireworks can beverified. Mayor Tait
thanked Disney for allowing the extension and staff for the thorough report.

Deputy City Manager Greg Garcia reported this would be the third year of fireworks in Anaheim
and addressed enforcement during the last two years including development of an operation plan
for enforcement, utilization of various City departments, creation of roaming, City-wide
enforcement teams, increased staffing levels, and implementation of a City-wide communications
plan to educate residents on the rules and regulations. In response to Council Member Moreno's
question, Fire Chief Randy Bruegman reported there were no fire -related incidences during the
2016 Fourth of July event, there was a 30% increase in responses for service from prior years,
and the Fire Department was overwhelmed with calls related to illegal fireworks.
DISCUSSION: Council Member Moreno noted voters approved allowing safe -and -sane fireworks
in Anaheim.
In reply to Council Member Barnes question regarding the possibility of imposing fees for those
using illegal fireworks, Chief Bruegman reported it has been done in the past as part of the City's
enforcement strategy. He added the City has done a lot of outreach and agreed with the
possibility of posting signs informing residents they would be fined if they use illegal fireworks.

M142 33. ORDINANCE NO. 6409 (INTRODUCTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY
OF ANAHEIM adding Chapter 4.100 to Title 4 of the Anaheim Municipal Code
(Commercial Marijuana Activities and Outdoor Cultivation) to prohibit commercial
marijuana activities and ban the outdoor cultivation of marijuana in the City of Anaheim
and determining pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) that this
ordinance is not a project pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3) and 15378 of the
CEQA Guidelines.
Planning and Building Director David Belmer presented the staff report addressing a brief
background stating that the Council passed three separate ordinances dealing with medical
marijuana: prohibiting it generally, its cultivation, and mobile dispensing. Despite these efforts,
challenges with enforcement and complaints from residents and businesses continue. Mr. Belmer
explained that Proposition 64 allows for commercial use, the commercialization of non-medical
marijuana, and allowing for personal cultivation and consumption. The proposed ordinance would
prohibit the commercial non-medical marijuana aspect, but would not preclude personal
cultivation, which Proposition 64 allows. City staff's recommendation was based on the City's
previous experience in dealing with this issue. The State was preparing to listen to the issuing of
licenses for commercial use in the year 2018. The ordinance was not a complete ban and would
give some protection to prohibit the commercial uses until staff has a better idea of how the state
licensing will work. This will provide the opportunity to revisit this issue and to modify the
ordinance as more information is available from the state.
DISCUSSION: Mayor Tait confirmed this keeps the status quo, allows for local control, and was
in preparation for implementation of state regulations.
Acting City Attorney Kristin Pelletier confirmed that was the purpose of the ordinance, with
respect to commercial cultivation. In terms of personal cultivation, the state allows it indoors, and
the City is not changing that nor is it changing its rules on consumption, and prohibits outdoor
cultivation.
In response to Council Member Faessel question regarding options available for people who
have a legitimate need to use medical marijuana, Ms. Pelletier reported this ordinance does not
address medical marijuana and the City has a medical marijuana dispensary ban. However,
under the Compassionate Use Act, that person has a right, under state law, to buy at a
dispensary where they are legal and consume it. He/she could grow their own marijuana indoors
or in an enclosed structure and personal consumption was allowed.
Council Member Murray reported in the recent past, the City was being overrun by commercial
marijuana facilities so the City then took steps to implement a moratorium limiting dispensaries in
residential communities. Some dispensaries were adjacent to, or close to, schools and the City
took stringent action, on behalf of residents, businesses, and visitors to protect them.
In reply to Mayor Tait's question regarding state licenses and ending the moratorium, Ms.
Pelletier reported the state would begin issuing licenses by January 1, 2018. If Anaheim does not
act before the state begins issuing licenses, the City would lose its local control. She stated,
depending on the will of Council, the moratorium may be replaced with something else and
agreed to place a time limit, if Council so chose. Council could also repeal the ordinance, as it
saw fit.
City Council Minutes of April 25, 2017
Page 24 of 37
Council Member Moreno spoke in favor of sunsetting the ordinance and noted the people voted
for this measure, and asked staff to return to Council with a timeline to discuss the ordinance
further and how voters may be honored.
MOTION: Council Member Moreno moved to introduce ORDINANCE NO. 6409
(INTRODUCTION) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM adding Chapter 4.100 to Title
4 of the Anaheim Municipal Code (Commercial Marijuana Activities and Outdoor Cultivation) to
prohibit commercial marijuana activities and ban the outdoor cultivation of marijuana in the City of
Anaheim and determining pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) that this
ordinance is not a project pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3) and 15378 of the CEQA
Guidelines, with an amendment sunsetting the ordinance one year from its effective date,
seconded by Mayor Tait.
Council Member Murray voiced her opposition to the sunset clause, noting Council has the ability
to repeal the ordinance at any time. She noted, at this time, the City as at the mercy of the state,
to follow the rules and it was unknown how long that would take. She reported the City worked
with Congressman Correa to place legislation on the Governor's desk that would have prohibited
the use and commercial sale of marijuana within 500 feet of schools or residential communities,
and that was vetoed by the administration, as being excessive. She added keeping the City's
constraints in place, until further action by the state, as a good approach.
In reply to Council Member Moreno's question, Ms. Pelletier stated there were restrictions in
terms of proximity of dispensaries to schools. He reiterated his position, in honor and respect to
the will of the voters. Upon sunsetting, Council could extend the ordinance or change it, but
Council Member Moreno wanted to ensure the City does its due diligence because most voters
approved the proposition. Ms. Pelletier stated what the City was doing was fully compliant with
Proposition 64.
In reply to Council Member Faessel's question, Ms. Pelletier reported even if Council does not
support a sunset clause, Council was able to repeal the ordinance and the he sunset clause
would not change enforcement or the intent of the ordinance. Council Member Faessel indicated
he would be comfortable with the ordinance, as presented.
Mayor Tait added the sunset clause will force Council to do something about the ordinance and
spoke in support of the sunset clause. Ms. Pelletier reported because the proposition enacted by
voters gave the City the right to ban commercial activity, the City would not have to change the
ban. If, after state regulations are out, the City does not want an absolute ban, Council could, at
any time with or without a sunset clause, opt for changes. She stressed the importance of
making sure there was no gap in the ban, because if that happened and the state issued
licenses, the state would pre-empt the City and the City would lose its local control.
In response to Council Member Murray's question, Ms. Pelletier reported if the City does not have
an ordinance on the books and the state begins issuing licenses, that would be a state
preemption. Council Member Murray reiterated her support for the item, as presented, without a
sunset clause.
Council Member Moreno reiterated his assertion regarding the importance of honoring voters who
approved Proposition 64. He advocated for making sure the City studied the issue thoroughly,
and not just react. He agreed to pull back adding a sunset clause to the ordinance, but asked for
a commitment from staff to develop a strategic plan to understand this issue thoroughly, a year
from now.

provide greater transparency, including complying with the Brown Act, record meetings
(video and audio), and provide web access to all agendas and related reports, minutes,
and video/audio recordings.
DISCUSSION: Council Member Murray spoke in support of any board, commission, taskforce or
committee giving policy recommendations to Council having a full airing and public participation.
Mayor Pro Tem Vanderbilt requested clarification distinguishing Brown Act groups and non -
Brown Act groups.
In response to Mayor Tait's question, Council Member Murray stated she supported recording
meeting of all bodies established by Council for purposes of developing public policy.
Council Member Moreno noted some groups are not established to develop public policy, but
rather complete other tasks such as discussing and promoting the arts or discussing CDBGs, etc.
He agreed with Council Member Murray and suggested any Council -appointed body, whether
they develop public policy or not, be subject to the same procedures.
In terms of Closed Session items, Council Member Murray noted Closed Session was not
subjected to public review. Acting City Attorney Kristin Pelletier confirmed closed sessions were

D116 36. RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM opposing Executive Order No. 13769 and reaffirming our values of
kindness and compassion in supporting policies that affirm constitutionally protected civil
and legal rights.
Item No. 36 tabled by earlier Council action.
D116 37. Discuss the potential creation of a committee or task force to research innovative
practices in addressing homelessness, as well as, discuss any other matters that may
involve the assessment of and efforts to address homelessness in the city and provide
staff with direction on such matters.
Assistant City Manager Kristine Ridge presented the staff report and recommended that if Council
chose to form a task force, that it be formed for a limited duration to achieve a specific purpose of
making recommendations, since the City already has the ongoing, standing homeless
collaborative.
DISCUSSION: Council Member Moreno reported his request included having staff provide
options for creating a body to advise Council on policies regarding homelessness. He agreed it
should be limited in duration and he reported he knew people who have participated in the
conversation of homelessness and this would provide the opportunity to work together as a
working group. His idea was to have a working group, formed by stakeholders engaged in the
issue of homelessness, including CityNet, the Anaheim Poverty Taskforce, the People's
Taskforce, a County and City representative, representatives from the State Assembly and
Senate offices, and a representative from Visit Anaheim as well as Council representatives, and
noted he would like to serve as a Council representative.
Council Member Kring commented on the increase in homelessness and noted there were many
things already on the table dealing with it. While she appreciated Council Member Moreno's
efforts, she reported this was not an Anaheim -based problem, but rather a County problem, and
questioned how the group would be funded. She reported as Chair of the Association of
California Cities, Orange County, she meets with all the stakeholders and the programs stated by
Council Member Moreno were already addressed in this other format.
Council Member Moreno reported there were still people, with multiple perspectives of this issue,
asking for relief from Council. He stated he wanted to get input from advocates in the City who
would develop ideas on policies and expressed a sense of urgency.
Council Member Faessel felt this was not something that should serve in perpetuity, concurred
with Council Member Moreno regarding the stakeholders, and stated he would be interested in
the group's authority but wanted to make sure this group does not preclude any of the work being
done by other groups, or vice versa. He expressed his support of the working group.
Mayor Tait agreed, noted the need to find a balance, and expressed support of the working
group.
Council Member Moreno offered to work with staff to develop a formal proposal for Council
action. Council Member Murray added she would like to include a residential representative,
particularly from some of the City's most -impacted areas.
City Council Minutes of April 25, 2017
Page 27 of 37
Council Member Moreno stated that was why he would like Council representatives in the group
to represent residents. Council Member Kring stated she would like to be in the working group as
well.
Council Member Murray suggested bringing the anti -camping ordinances back for a full review
with a potential reaffirmation.
Council Member Barnes noted the need for increased communication from Council colleagues
regarding participation in the various outside agencies and groups.
Ms. Ridge reported the County Public Works Department is researching properties they own to
determine a suitable site for a safe zone.
No action was taken on this item.
