for the City's use may be declared "exempt surplus land" under California Government Code
Section 54221(f)(1)(C) and the City has determined that the City Property (defined below) is

Center, generally north of Interstate 5 and west of the 57 freeway. Objectives of the PTMLUP
include but are not limited to creating a unique integrated, walkable urban environment to
encourage pedestrian activity, creating a design where all development would be harmonious,
reinforcing transit opportunities around ARTIC, and stimulating market-driven development
investment(the"PTMLUP Objectives"); and
WHEREAS, in 2018, the City Council approved amended and restated Facility
Management Agreements for the Honda Center and ARTIC and a disposition of property adjacent
to the Honda Center in an effort to maintain an ongoing capital investment in the Honda Center;
remove ARTIC's annual general fund operating obligation;ensure that the Anaheim Ducks remain
in Anaheim through at least 2048;and, facilitate the future development of the under-utilized land
within the Platinum Triangle; and
WHEREAS, in 2020,the City of Anaheim did receive a verified petition for Development
Agreement No. 2020-00004 (the "Proposed Development Agreement"), incorporated herein by

together with the previously approved environmental documents for development in the Platinum
Triangle(including ten previously adopted addenda,which analyzed development of the Platinum
Triangle pursuant to implementation of the PTMLUP and Platinum Triangle Mixed Use (PTMU)
Overlay Zone) is the appropriate environmental documentation for the Proposed Project under
CEQA; (iii)none of the conditions described in Section 15162 or 15163 of the CEQA Guidelines
calling for the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR or negative declaration have
occurred in connection with the Proposed Project; and (iv) no further documentation needs to be

feet and generally described as portion of APN Nos. 253-521-34, 232-072-06, 232-072-07 as
shown in Exhibit A(collectively,the "City Property"), which would be used to accommodate the
Honda Center Improvements (as defined in the Proposed Development Agreement) and the new
amphitheater and hotel proposed as part of the Proposed Project, all of which are consistent with
the PTMLUP Objectives; and
WHEREAS, the City or City's designee would have the right to use the amphitheater under

contiguous to the City Property consisting of approximately 119,160 square feet and generally
described as APNs 253-521-33, and 253-521-35 as shown in Exhibit A, (the "AREP Property"),
which would be developed as a City-owned public parking deck(the"City Parking Deck"),which
is necessary for the operation of the City-owned Honda Center and the development of the Honda
Center; and
WHEREAS, Pursuant to the Proposed Development Agreement,AREP would design and
construct the City Parking Deck at no cost to the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Parking Deck would eliminate the City's need for the underutilized
surface parking on the City Property; and
WHEREAS, without the proposed land exchange,the City would be unable to realize and
achieve the PTMLUP Objectives through implementation of the Proposed Project, since the
Proposed Project, as outlined above, incorporates key improvements identified for the Platinum
Triangle in the PTMLUP; and
-2-
WHEREAS, without the proposed land exchange, none of the significant community
benefits identified in the Development Agreement No. 2020-00004 would be realized and the
Platinum Triangle, including the City Property,would remain underutilized; and
WHEREAS, in light of the foregoing, the proposed land exchange is necessary for the
City's use and the proposed land exchange constitutes a reasonable and equitable exchange.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Anaheim as
follows:
1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein by reference.
2. The exchange of the City Property in return for the AREP Property is necessary for
the City's use as a City-owned Parking Deck, which would provide necessary and
convenient public parking for the City-owned Honda Center and other facilities
accessible to the public.
3. The exchange of the City Property in return for the AREP Property would facilitate
the development or the Proposed Project,which,as explained herein,would further
the PTMLUP Objectives, including the provision of approximately 1,500
residential dwelling units including approximately 195 affordable units.
4. The City Council of the City of Anaheim hereby declares the City Property
(portions of APN Nos. 253-521-34, 232-072-06, 232-072-07 depicted in Exhibit
A)to be exempt surplus land pursuant to Government Code Section 54221(f)(1)(C)
for the reasons set forth above and because the City Property will be exchanged for

Exhibit A), and the exchange is necessary for City's use of the AREP Property as
a City-owned parking deck to serve to the City-owned Honda Center and other
