SUMMARY PUBLICATION
CITY OF ANAHEIM
ORDINANCE NO. 6141
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM APPROVING AMENDMENT NO. 13
TO THE ANAHEIM RESORT SPECIFIC PLAN NO. 92-2
(SP92.21, AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 5453 AS PRE-
VIOUSLYY AMENDED, AND AMENDING ZONING AND
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS SET FORTH IN CHAP-
TER 18.116 OF TITLE 18 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICI-
PAL CODE.
This ordinance amends the Zoning and Development
Standards of the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 92-2 (SP92-
2), Chapter 18.116 of the Anaheim Municipal Code, as fol-
lows:
This ordinance creates a new density category "Low Medi-
um Density (Modified)" and reclassifies certain property lo-
cated within the Anaheirq Resort Specific Plan 92-2, as fur-
ther described in said ordinance, from Low Medium Density
land use designation to the new density category Low Medi-
um Density (Modified), to allow the construction of a nine -
story, 252 -room hotel with 75,593 square feet of supporting
retail, spa, nightclub, lounges, restaurants,
conference/meeting rooms and hotel offices.
The intersection of Harbor Boulevard and Katella Avenue
is currently identified as a Special Intersection in the Central
Core Plan of the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 92-2. This
amendment removes this intersection from the Special In-
tersection list and establishes a new category titled "Harbor
Boulevard/Katella Avenue Intersection Araa". Within this
area, the setback along Harbor Boulevard would be re-
duced from 26 feet to 11 feet and revises standards to allow
decorative canopies and balconies to encroach into re-
Gwired setback areas. Additionally, setback areas along
Harbor Boulevard and Katella Avenue would be permitted
to be paved; Provided, however, that the paved areas serve
pedestrian-reFeted activities and that the landscaping com-
pplies with the minimum tree density identified in the Ana-
heim Resort Specific Plan, Design Plan.
This ordinance also amendments to the sign require-
ments of the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 92-2 to allow (i)
certain signs that are not otherwise permitted within the
Anaheim Resort Specific Plan subject to a Conditional Use
Permit; (ii) changeable copy signs for a hotel when not visi-
ble from any public right-of-way, as may be seen from a
point six (6) feet above ground level, subject to approval of
a conditional use permit (iii) multi -tenant signs integrated
into the design of a building, in lieu of freestanding signs,
subject to the approval of a conditionaluse permk and limit-
ed to properties within the Harbor Boulevard/Katalla Avenue
Intersection Area; (iv) modify the size and number of permit-
ted wall signs for hhotel/motels over five stories that are lo-
cated on comerpropeKies within the Anaheim Resort Spe-
cific Plan area; and (v) modify wall sign standards for com-
mercial uses accessory to a hotel. Currently, signs for ac-
cessory businesses are limited to a letter height of 24 in-
ches and a maximum area of 30 square feet. This amend-
ment would allow a larger first letter of up to 36 inches. Ad-
ditionally, the maximum area limitation would be replaced
with a maximum length limitation of up to 80% of the length
of the storefront. Finally, the Zoning Code currently does
not allow accessory businesses to have a sign unless the
entrance is separate from that of the hotel. This amnd-
ment would allow businesses of at least 10,000 square fee
et
in size to have one sign per street front even if they do not
have a separate entrance from that of the hotel.
