This development is within five planning Districts {Theme Park, Hotel, Parking, Future Expansion and District A) and a C-R Overlay, which allows development within the Overlay to either be consistent with the underlying Resort District or subject to the same land uses as in the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan No. 92-2 Zone. The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan also identifies maximum development density designations for hotellmotel development in the Hotel District (up to 5,800 hotel rooms for the entire District with up to 1,000 hotel roams transferable to the Theme Park District), in District A (the maximum number of units permitted would be 75 hotellmotel rooms per gross acre or 75 hotellmotel rooms per parcel existing on June 29,1993, whichever is greater) and the C-R Overlay (the maximum number of units permitted on a parcel would be the following:1) for parcels designated Low Density - up to 50 hotel rooms per gross acre or 75 rooms, whichever is greater; and 2) for parcels designated Medium Density - up to 75 hotel roams per gross acre ar 75 rooms, whichever is greater; provided that for those parcels that are developed with hotellmotel rooms which exceeded the maximum density designation, the number of roams existing on the date of adoption of The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Ordinance maybe rebuilt or modified at their existing density.) It should be noted that accessory uses may be developed as well as other visitor-serving commercialJretail and restaurant uses along with these hote~matel uses. The Disneyland Resort Specific Pian also provides for the development of the Pointe Anaheim Lifestyle Retail and Entertainment Complex pursuant to the Pointe Anaheim Overlay at the following density and subject to the approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 4078 to permit the following: up to 634,600 gross square feet of retailldininglentertainment uses; three to four hotels comprising 1,862 hotel roomslsuites (of which up to 200 units can be developed as vacation ownership resort units) with approximately 282,071 gross square feet of related accessory uses (the hotel roomslaccessory uses would encompass a maximum of 1,330,771 gross square feet) and, of that total, an approximate 133,630 gross square foot area on the top floor of the parking structure to be used for a hotel conference center; and, a 1,949,600 gross square foot parking structure with 4,800 striped parking spaces and 15 bus parking spaces at full buildout with a 10,200 gross square foot bus terminal/facility for airport transport and tolfrom sightseeing venues. The Pointe*Anaheim Overlay encompasses District A and the portion of the Parking District (East Parking Area)ICR Overlay south of Disney Way. Note No. 2: The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan provides for the development of approximately 549.5 acres within the C-R (Commercial Recreation) District which allows for hotels, motels, convention and conference facilities, as well as restaurants, retail shops and entertainment facilities; the PR (Public Recreation) District which encompasses the Anaheim Convention Center and associated parking facilities and provides for the orderly use of City-owned property as well as the existing Anaheim Hilton Hotel; and, the Mobilehome Park (MHP) Overlay which encompasses existing mobilehome parks within the C-R District and provides development standards for mobilehome parks and regulatiortis and procedures to mitigate relocation concerns and adverse effects of displacement upon mobilehome owners when a park is converted to another land use. The Anaheim Resort Specific Pian also identifies maximum development density designations in the C-R District. These designations are based upon hotellmotel development and allow up to 20% of each hotellmotel project gross square footage, excluding parking facilities, to be developed with integrated (i.e., included within the main hotellmotel complex} accessory uses. These accessory uses will reduce the otherwise maximum permitted hotellmotel density at the rate of one hotellmotel roam per six hundred (600} gross square feet of accessary use. For properties proposed to be developed with permitted and conditionally permitted uses other than hoteislmotels with accessory uses, the traffic generation characteristics of said uses shall not exceed those associated with the otherwise permitted hotellmotel (including accessory uses) density as determined by the City Traffic and Transportation Manager prior to Final Site Plan review and approval. The density designations are as follows: "Law Density," which has a maximum density of up to 50 rooms per gross acre or 75 roams per lot or parcel, whichever is greater; "Low-Medium Density," up to 75 rooms per gross acre or 75 rooms per lot or parcel, whichever is greater; "Medium Density," up to 100 rooms per gross acre or 75 rooms per lot or parcel, whichever is greater; and, `Convention Center (CC) Medium Density,° up to 125 rooms per gross acre with trip generation characteristics mitigated to the equivalent of 100 rooms per gross acre, or 75 rooms per lot or parcel, whichever is greater. For those parcels that are developed with hotellmotel roams which exceed the maximum density designation, the number of rooms existing on the date of adoption of the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan Ordinance may be rebuilt or modified at their existing density.
