Revisions to the
Addendum for the Pointe Anaheim
Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (PC2001-159)
Changes have been made in the Pointe Anaheim Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
Addendum to incorporate a proposal to use excess Pointe Anaheim Project parking for
Convention Center overflow parking. The text being deleted is noted in a st-~il~ee+~ mode, whife
the additions are noted in bold text.
SECTION 2, PROJECT DESCR/PT/ON, PAGES 3- 6
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The project site is 29.1 ± acres, is irregularly-shaped, and is anticipated to connect Harbor
Boulevard to Katella Avenue via pedestrian flow through the project. The conceptual site plan
for the project is shown on Exhibits 3 through 6. Development would be concentrated on three
levels (Street Level, Level 2, and Level 3) with typical hotel room floors extending higher.
The applicant is proposing t#~ee-four modifications to the Pointe Anaheim project. The first
modification involves the mix and allocation of land uses. The amended Pointe Anaheim
project, at full build-out, would include the following: 634,700 gross square feet of
retail/dining/entertainment, wk~ich includes a 94,OQ0 square foot aquarium; four hotels
comprising a maximum of 1,662 hotel rooms/suites (of which up to 200 units may be Vacation
Ownership Resort units); hotel uses (the hotel rooms, accessory uses, and outdoor amenity
area) would encompass 1,370,711 gross square feet; and a 1,949,800 gross square foot
parking structure with ~~e-4,800 striped parking spaces, 15 bus spaces, and a 10,200 square
foot bus terminal/facility for airport transport and to/from sightseeing venues. Table 1,
Comparison of the Pointe Anaheim Project as Approved with Proposed Modifications, depicts
the Pointe Anaheim project as approved, the characteristics of the modified project, and the net
change. In summary, the total would increase from 3,336,600 square feet to 4,027,971 square
feet, primarily due to accounting for space which was not specifically called out in the previous
plans, orienting the project less toward evening entertainment uses (which tend to have a
greater traffic impact) in favor of adding more hotel rooms and accessory uses (which tend to
produce less traffic but require greater square footage area), and increasing the square footage
of the parking garage to accommodate speed ramps for quicker parking.
The second project modification is the proposed phasing of the project over time rather than all
being under construction at once. This is discussed in further detail in the "Phasing" portion of
this section.
The third change relates to project access. The project site plan has been modified to reflect a
signalized median break on Disney Way to allow access to the project mid-block between
Harbor Boulevard and Clementine Street. This access point is necessary for two reasons. As
the project will now be built in phases, the Harbor Boulevard access will not be available until
the finaE phases of the project. Moreover, if the applicant does not acquire the parcel located at
the southeastern corner of Harbor Boulevard and Disney Way (Anaheim Plaza Hotel), the
project access from Harbor Boulevard may never be possible. This makes the Disney Way
signalized median break a critical factor to the project. Irrespective of the outcome of the
Anaheim Plaza Hotel parcel, the median break will improve traffic flow at Harbor Boulevard. The
Clerical:\resolutions\021202as.doc
• •
median break will improve flow on Harbor by decreasing the projected number of U-turn
movements at Harbor Boulevard and Disney Way.
The access point on Clementine Street will continue to provide for access to the project with a
signalized left turn lane for northbound vehicles. However, the access will now provide for valet
access to two of the hotel porte cocheres, and provide access for buses, taxis; passenger drop-
off, and to the loading areas. This ingress/egress point will only provide for a right-turn out of
the project area.
The physical impact of the project will remain basically the same because the footprint of the
project covers the same area as the previously approved Pointe Anaheim project with the same
types of land uses. In this respect, many of the analyzed environmental issues will essentially
remain unchanged: land use, earth resources, hydrology, noise, energy, hazardous materials,
and cultural resources. In addition, the project will be constructed within the same height
restrictions as previously approved. The visual resources, including shade and shadow, will not
be increased. Several environmental areas are projected to have some improvement with the
modified project, these include: transportation, air quality, construction, and most public services
and utilities:
However, as individual business enterprises become a part of the project (either through leasing
or sale of space in the project or through air rights leases for specific components), minor
changes may be made to accommodate the individual needs of such business ventures. As an
example, the site plan presently incorporates a total of four hotels containing 1,662 hotel rooms
in the aggregate, but this same number of hotel rooms may eventually be developed in four
buildings in a single hotel, rather than four individual hotel properties. It is noted that if the
development differs from what is proposed and addressed in this Addendum to the IS/MND, an
environmental evaluation will take place to determine whether or not the revised project will
cause any significant impacts. If so, additional environmental documentation will be required.
In addition, all changes would be reviewed by the City to determine whether the change is in
substantial conformance with the Conditional Use Permit or whether a modification to the
Conditional Use Permit would be needed.
The fourth change relates to the proposed use of excess parking spaces in the Pointe
Anaheim garage for Convention Center overflow parking. The parking would be provided
pursuant to a lease agreement with the City of Anaheim for the use of up to 75% of the
excess parking spaces at any given time on a prearranged basis. The number of spaces
to be leased would vary depending on the variations in parking demand throughout the
year at the Pointe Anaheim project. It is expected that the minimum number of spaces to
be made available on typical weekdays would be 786 spaces. At certain times of the year
(i.e., off season) and on certain days of the week (i.e., mid-week) and times of day (early
morning and mid-afternoon), the excess supply could exceed this number and the
number of spaces made available for short-term use by convention center guests could
increase
Details of the Convention Center Overflow Parking Program will be provided as a
component of the Pointe Anaheim Parking Maintenance and Operation Plan. The
preparation of this Program is required as a project mitigation measure to be submitted
to the City prior to the first final building and zoning inspection. The programmed use of
the Pointe Anaheim garage for Convention Center overflow parking would not result in
any additional traffic or parking impacts that were not already evaluated in the Pointe

The parking structure, at full build-out, would

SECTION 2, ~PROJECT DESCRIPTION, PAGE 13, FIRST PARAGRAPH
Conditional Use Permit No. 4078
Pursua~t ~o the provisior~s of The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan, an amended Conditional
Use Permit is proposed to develop the Pointe ^Anaheim project with 636,600 gross square feet
of restaurants/dining/entertainment uses; four hotels comprising a maximum of 1,662 hotel
room/suites with related accessory retail uses (1,303,000 square feet); a parking structure with
~et~eer~-~,~~~ar~d-4,800 automobile parking spaces and 15 bus spaces; and, a bus
terminal/facility for airport transport and to/from sightseeing venues. These uses are further
described below:
SECTION 2, PROJECT DESCRIPTION, TABLE 3, PAGE 11
This can be found at the end of the errata.
SECTION 3.3,TRANSPORTATION AND C/RCULAT/ON, PAGE 19, LAST
PARAGRAPH
Parking demand was also analyzed for the modified project. Parking for the proposed project is
provided primarily in a six-level parking structure located in the southwest portion of the site.
The City of Anaheim Municipal Code notes that for recreation type facilities (e.g., Pointe
Anaheim), "due to the unique nature of these types of uses, parking requirements shall be
determined by the City Traffic and Transportation Manager and/or Planning Commission based
upon the nature and extent of the intended uses and upon information contained in a parking
demand study prepared by an independent traffic engineer licensed by the State of California."
Based on figures from the Urban Land Institute, peak hour (1:00 p.m.) parking demand would
require 3,573 parking spaces to accommodate the Pointe Anaheim project. However, the City
Traffic and Transportation Manager requested a 5 percent margin on top of the projected peak
parking demand, increasing the total required spaces during the peak hour to 3,752. The
Cle rica I:Vesol utions\021202as. d oc
. •
parking structure would provide ^^'° +"^^ "~,'~' 4,800 self-park spaces, at fuli build-out, for
automobiles and 15 buses. ~ , ~
. The
structure would extend approximately 64 feet in height. This wouid adequately serve the Pointe
Anaheim project while providing a surplus of 1,048 automobile spaces during the peak hour.
The parking structure has been redesigned to accommodate speed ramps. to allow quicker
ingress and egress to and from the project. This parking design and allocation will
accommodate both projected automobile and bus parking demands without creating a
significant impact.
Pursuant to provisions of the proposed Disposition and Development Agreement, excess
parking spaces in the Pointe Anaheim garage would be rented for short-term use for
Convention Center overflow parking and a shuttle service would be provided between
the garage and the Convention Center.
The number of spaces to be leased would vary depending on the variations in parking
demand throughout the year at the Pointe Anaheim project. It is expected that the
minimum number of spaces to be made available on typical weekdays would be 786
spaces. This number is equal to 75% of the excess supply of parking on weekdays. As
noted in the parking analysis, the peak parking demand is forecast to reach 3,752 spaces
at 1:00 PM (including a 5% margin on top of the forecast demand of 3,573) and the supply
is proposed as 4,800 spaces. The excess supply of parking on typical weekdays is,
therefore projected to be 1,048 spaces. The hourly estimation of parking demand is
illustrated in the attached Table 1, which is consistent with Tabfe 6 in the Appendix of the
Addendum.
At certain times of the year (i.e., off season) and on certain days of the week (i.e., mid-
week) and times of day (early morning and mid-afternoon), the excess supply could
exceed this number, thereby allowing the number of spaces made available for short-
term use by Convention Center guests to increase. Similarly, the parking analysis
assumes that the banquet and convention facilities at the Project would have a mid-day
parking demand of 653 spaces. The scheduling of such events is predictable and
typically known well in advance; therefore, on discrete dates when no major meetings
are scheduled for these large group facilities at Pointe Anaheim, these 653 spaces could
additionally be programmed for use by the Convention Center to help address overflow
parking needs.
Table 2, attached to this letter, illustrates an example of how the excess parking supply
could increase in the "off season" with no banquet or convention facilities in use at
Pointe Anaheim. In this example, the hotel and retail/dining/entertainment (RDE) uses
have all been estimated to have parking demands equal to 75% of the typical peak
demand and the banquet and meeting #acilities are assurned to not be in use. As the last
column in Table 2 illustrates, under such a set of circumstances, the number of excess
spaces in the Pointe Anaheim garage would exceed 2,600 spaces at all hours of the day.
This illustrates that at certain times of the year, significantly more than the minimum
number of spaces could potentialty be made available for Convention Center overflow
parking.
Final details of the Convention Center Overflow Parking Program will be a component of
the Pointe Anaheim Parking Maintenance and Operation Plan. The preparation of this
Clerical:\resolutions\021202as.doc 4
. •
Program is required as a project mitigation measure to be submitted to the~ City prior to
the first final building and zoning inspection.
The use of the Pointe Anaheim garage for Convention Center overflow parking would not
result in any additional traffic or parking impacts that were not already evaluated in the
Pointe Anaheim Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration. The traffic associated
with these Convention Center uses is included in the background traffic forecasts for the
Anaheim Resort Area. The use of excess Pointe Anaheim parking to address periodic
Convention Center guest needs, would not generate new vehicular traffic in the Project
Area, but would serve to redistribute a portion of the Convention Center traffic, which
would already otherwise be in the area, to the parking garage at Pointe Anaheim. For
traffic approaching the Convention Center from the south and east from the I-5 freeway,
the availability of overflow parking could intercept and shorten some of the trips, prior to
these vehicles reaching the Harbor/Katella intersection.
According to the terms of the parking facilities lease and Parking Maintenance and
Operation Plan, the number of Convention Center-related trips into and out of the Pointe
Anahe~m garage on a given day would be programmed, based on the number of
projected excess parking spaces in the garage.
Conventions and trade shows that generate overflow parking demand are typically
booked months, if not years, in advance; thereby making advance planning feasible.
Similarly, examples of parking demands by season, day and hour for the types of uses
planned in Pointe Anaheim are available and can be used in establishing excess space
allocations in the Project's early years of operation to assure the aggregate parking
demand would never exceed the peak hour volumes forecast and analyzed for the Pointe
Anaheim project itself. In order to provide a conservatively based figure, these trips are
initially capped at 75% of the available excess parking spaces. However, such forecasts
of parking inventory can be adjusted based on the experiences gained after the Project
commences to operate, and seasonal, weekday/ weekend and hourly demand variations
become refined by the Project's operating history.
The u~se of the Pointe Anaheim garage for Convention Center overflow parking in
accordance with the above terms would therefore not cause any additional impacts to
surrounding City streets or project driveways.

RE: Pointe Anaheim Parking for Convcntion Cer-ter Overflow
Dear Mr. Fick:
J00-069
Meyer, Mohaddes Associates, Inc. (MNIA) prepared thc original traffic and parkinD
analys~s far the Pointe Anaheim project. Our analysis was incozporated into the Pointe
Anaheim Inidal Study and Mitigatcd Negative Declaration, which was approved by the
City of Anaheim on June 22, 1999. We subsequently updated that anatysis to reflect
changes to the proposed project, which analysis is included in the Addendum to the
Pointe Anaheim Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration, dated October 29,
2001. This letter is provided to address the proposed use of the Pointe Anaheim parldng
facility for periodic overFlow parking for the Anahe'vm Convention Center.
City Staff has proposed that the project proponent make parking spaces available within
the Pointe Anaheim garage for Convention Center-related parking, at times when the
parldng is not in demand~for Pointe Anaheim patron pazking. This would be provided
pursuant to a parking facilities lease ad eement with thc City of Anaheim included with
the Disposition and Development Agrcement (DDA), which will be presented to the City
Council for review and approval. Pursuant to the lease a~eement, excess parking spaces
in the Pointe Anaheim garage would bc rented for sbort-term use For Convention Center
overflow parking and a shuttle service would be provided between tbe garage and the
Convention Center.
Th~ numb~r of spaces to be le~sed woulc~ va,zyy d~pcr~ding on the variations in ~arkino
demand throughout the year at the Pointe Anaheim project. Tt is expected that the ~
minimum number of spaces to b~ made available o~n typica] weekdays would be 786
spaces. This numbcr is equal to 75% of. the excess supply of parldno on weekdays. As
noted in the parking analysis, the peak parking demand is forecast io rcaeh 3,752 spaces
at 1:00 PM (including a 5% mazg.in, on top of the forecast demand of 3,573) and the
supply is proposed as 4,800 spaces. The excess supply of parking on typical vtreekdays is,
therefore projected to be 1,048 spaces. The hourly estimation of pazking demand is
illustrated in the attaehed Table ~, which is consistent with Table 6 in the Appendix of
the Addenduzn.

At certain ~ines of the year (i_e., off season} and on certain days of the week (i.e., mid-
week) and times of day (early morning and mid-afternoon), the excess supply could
exceed this number, thereby allowing the nurnber of spaces made available for sbort-term
use by Convention Center guests to increase. Similazly, the parki.ng analysis assumes
that the banquet and convention facilities at the Project would have a mid-day pazldng
demand of 653 spaces. Thc scheduling of such events is predictable and typically lrnown
well in advance, so on discrete dates when no major meetings are scheduled for these
large group facilities at Pointe A.naheim, these 653 spaces could addiHonally b~ utilized
by the Convention Center to help address overflow parking needs.
Table 2, attached to this letter, illustcates an example of how the ezcess pazking supply
could increase in the "of.f season" with no banquet or convention facilities in use at
Pointe Anaheim. In rhis examplc, the hotel and retaiUdi.ni.ng/entertainment (RDE) uses
have all been estimated to have parking demands equal to 75% of the typical peak
demand and the banquet and meetin~ facilities are assumed to not be in use. As the last
column in Table 2 illustrates, under such a set of circumstances, the number of excess
spaces in the Pointe Anaheim garage would exceed 2,600 spaces at all hours of the day.
This illustrates that at certain~ times of the year, significantly more than the minimevm
number of spaces could potentially be made available for Convention Center overflow
pazking.
Final details of the Convention Center Overflow Parking Program will be a component of
the Pointc Anaheim Parking Maintenance and Operarion Plan. The preparation of this
Program is required as a project mitiaation measure to be submitted to the (;ity prior to
the first final buildi.ng and zoning inspection.
The use of the Pointe flnaheim garage foz Convention Center overflow parking would
not result in at2y additional traffic or parking impacts that were not already evaluated in
the Poznte Anaheim Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaratioz~_ I'he traff~c
associated with these Convention Center uses is included in the background traffic
forecasts f.or tlze Anaheim Resort Area. The use of excess Pointe Anaheim parking to
address period.ic Convention Centez guest needs, would not generate new vehicular traffic
in the Project A,rea, but would serve to redistribute a portion of the Convention Centcr
traffic, which would already otherwise be in the area, to the parking garage at Pointe
Anaheim. For lraffic approaching the Convention Center from the south and east from
the I-5 &ecway, the availability of overflow parki.ng could intercept and shorten some of
the trips, pzior to these vehicles reaching the Harbor/Katella interscction. .

According to the terms of the lease, the number of Convention Center-related trips into
and out of the Pointe Anaheim garage on a given day would be programrned, based on
the number of projected excess parking spaces in the garage.
Conventions and trade shows that generate overflow parking demand are typically
booked months, if not years, in advance; thereby making advance plaruZing feasible.
Similarly, examples of parking demands by season, day and hour for the types of uses
planned in Poi~te Anaheim are available and can be used in establishing excess space
allocations in the Project's early years of operation to assure the aggregatc pazldng
demand would never exceed the peak hour volwmes forecast and analyzed for the Pointe
Anaheim pzoj ec± itself. In order to provide a conservatively based figure, these trips are
initially capped at 75% of the available excess parldng spaces. However, such £orecasts
of parkin~ inventory can be adjusted based on the experiences gai.nc~ after the Project
commences to operate, and seasonal, weekday/ weekend and houriy demand variations
became ref~ncd by ~he Pro,}ect's operatiag histor~.
The use oFthe Pointe Anaheim g~age for Convention Center overflow parking uz
accordanee with the above temns would therefore not cause any addirional impacts to
surrounding City strests or project driveways.
