1 INTRODUCTION
On September 20, 1994, the Anaheim City
Council adopted Resolution No. 94R-238
approving The Anaheim Resort Identity Program
(TARIP). Since the adoption of the TARIP,
proposed modifications to the identity program
have included four amendments.
1.1 Amendments
TARIP Amendment No. 1. In September 2001,
City Council adopted Resolution No. 2001R-239
approving Amendment No. 1 to TARIP.
Amendment No. 1 provided criteria relating to the
permitted number, location and design for
newspaper racks within The Anaheim Resort®
public rights-of-way.
TARIP Amendment No. 2. In December 2012,
City Council adopted Resolution No. 2012R-161
approving Amendment No. 2 to TARIP to reduce
redundancy within and between documents and,
update the document to reflect current conditions
within The Anaheim Resort. Amendment No. 2
was approved in conjunction with General Plan
Amendment No. 2010-00482, Amendment No.
14 to the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan
(SPN2010-00060), Zoning Code Amendment No.
2010-00093, and Amendment No. 5 to The
Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape
Program (Case No. MIS2010-00478).
TARIP Amendment No. 3. In December, 2019,
City Council adopted Ordinance No. 6473
approving Amendment No. 3 to TARIP to allow
minor modifications to the TARIP, subject to the
review and approval of the Public Works Director
and the Planning & Building Director (Case No.
MIS 2019-00711).
TARIP Amendment No. 4. In [Month, Year], City
Council approved Resolution No. XXXX-XXX
approving Amendment No. 4 to TARIP to
comprehensively update graphics and imagery
throughout the plan to reflect current conditions
in The Anaheim Resort. Additionally, this
amendment includes information pertaining to
Arrival Gateways, Pedestrian Bridge/Crossings
and Minor Pedestrian Directional and
Informational Signs, in conjunction with the
approvals for the DisneylandForward Project.
1.2 Purpose
The purpose of this document is to create a
consistent visual theme in the City of Anaheim’s
Anaheim Resort, which is generally located
adjacent to and southwest of Interstate (I)-5. The
Anaheim Resort, as the term is used in this
document, refers to an approximate1,078-acre
area designated for Commercial Recreation land
uses on the City of Anaheim General Plan. The
Anaheim Resort includes three specific plans: the
489.7-acre Disneyland Resort Specific Plan
(DRSP), 6.8-acre Hotel Circle Specific Plan
(HCSP) and the 581.3-acre Anaheim Resort
Specific Plan (ARSP).
The DRSP (SP92-1) provides for the
development of an international multi-day
vacation destination resort including theme
parks, additional hotels and entertainment areas,
new parking facilities, and an internal
transportation system. In addition, the DRSP
permits the existing Disneyland and Disney’s
California Adventure theme parks to continue to
be modified with new attractions and other
improvements.
The HCSP (SP93-1) allows for the development
of up to 969 hotel rooms. All of the parcels within
the specific plan area are developed with a total
of 818 hotel rooms.

1-3
The ARSP (SP92-2) provides a long-range
comprehensive plan for development of hotel,
convention, theme park attractions, and visitor
serving uses and associated infrastructure
improvements.
The primary purpose of these Specific Plans is to
create a premier urban destination resort that
encourages visitors to stay for several days to
enjoy the variety of recreation and entertainment
opportunities available. This is achieved through
the establishment of a consistent visual language
for the public areas that extend throughout The
Anaheim Resort. The main components of the
unifying visual language will be: landscape, street
furnishings and signs.
This document will deal primarily with signs and
street furnishings and how they help create the
unified Anaheim Resort Identity.
1.3 Modifications
Minor Modifications to the TARIP are subject to
the review and approval of the Public Works
Director and the Planning & Building Director.
The Directors shall find and determine that any
proposed modifications will improve the safety,
technology, and/or functionality of the public
realm of The Anaheim Resort. The Directors
shall not approve any modification to the TARIP
unless they can make a finding that the
modification is generally consistent with the
design theme of the TARIP as described in
Section 2 Design Theme. The Public Works
Director and the Planning & Building Director
may refer all such decisions to the Planning
Commission, when it is determined that the
general public interest warrants such referral. In
such instances, the Planning Commission will
make its decision at a Public Hearing as an
amendment to TARIP.

2 DESIGN THEME
This document contains photographs and
conceptual design drawings of the majority of the
identity elements for The Anaheim Resort. The
purpose of the drawings within the document is
to communicate design intent. Material
specifications and dimensions may have
changed as refinements, mock-ups, and value
engineering of these identity elements have and
will continue to occur.
The Anaheim Resort has transformed into a
garden environment through installation of
extensive landscape improvements which are
described in detail in the ARSP, DRSP and
TARPRLP. Different landscape treatments have
been implemented for each of the major streets
in the area.
In order to unify The Anaheim Resort,
streetscape and sign elements reinforce this
landscape character. This is achieved in several
ways. All streetscape and sign elements:
• Provide consistency with the geometry
established by the landscape planting,
particularly the regularly spaced street trees.
• Convey a warmth and friendliness that make
visitors feel welcome.
• Emulate traditional garden elements, such as
trellises, pergolas, garden benches and other
typical garden architectural elements.
• Have an open, traditional, metal trellis-work
design vocabulary, when appropriate
The basic forms of the streetscape and sign elements are more traditional and classical in principle and appearance. The following principles help to achieve this:
• Symmetry is employed in both the design of individual elements and in their placement in the landscape.
• Classic garden furnishings provide prototypical forms for sign and streetscape
elements.
• Specially designed street furniture, such as benches, bus shelters, and trash receptacles create a richer, more interesting and inviting pedestrian environment.
Night lighting is another component of the consistent visual identity. Lighting is especially
important in helping to create the festive, garden-like atmosphere of The Anaheim Resort. Accordingly, the following night lighting concepts are applied within The Anaheim Resort:
• Identity is created by night lighting using warm and cool light effects.
• Special identity elements in the public right-of-way (such as gateways), can feature special night lighting effects not permitted elsewhere.
2.1 Color Palette
A consistent color system for all sign and
streetscape elements in the public right-of-way
and for freestanding monument signs on
individual properties has been established to
further enhance the area’s cohesive visual
appearance and provide a distinct identity. The
dominant hues of the color system complement
the landscape and incorporate the colors found in
traditional garden furnishings. The color system
has the following characteristics:
• The color palette is limited; a few major colors
dominate sign and streetscape elements, and
any minor colors used will be limited to
accents and other minor usage.
• The colors P-1, P-2, P-3, P-4, P-5, P-7, M-1,
and C-1 will be applied to all elements in the
public right-of-way as specified in this
document. The colors P-1, P-3, P-5, P-6 and
C-1 will be applied to the freestanding
monument signs.

The Anaheim Resort Logo
This logo has been designed to be a symbol of
welcome. The floral bouquet uses blossoms
indigenous to the area, specifically the California
Poppy and the Orange Blossom. The square
shape was intentional for its application to the
streetscape and sign elements as a full color
ceramic tile.
Exhibit 2.1-2 The Anaheim Resort Logo
2.2 Realms
The ARSP and the DRSP specify three distinct
levels of design hierarchy. They are called the
Public Realm, the Setback Realm and the Private
Realm. This document discusses identity
elements in the Public and Setback Realms only.
Areas within the ultimate public right-of-way are
called the Public Realm. This visually prominent
area is the most precisely defined and designed
of the three Realms. The Setback Realm
includes private property between the ultimate
right-of-way and the minimum required setback
for adjacent buildings.

3 STREETSCAPE
ELEMENTS
This section contains the design principles
and conceptual material specifications that
define the character of the major
streetscape elements in The Anaheim
Resort.
• Gateways (Harbor Boulevard and
Katella Avenue).
• Arrival Gateways.
• Gateway pageantry (banner) elements.
• Gateway night lighting.
• Light fixtures and street pageantry.
• Street furniture (benches, bus shelters,
trash receptacles and newspaper racks)
and Sidewalk Paving.
• Pedestrian bridges.
3.1 Gateways
Gateways define the entries into The
Anaheim Resort. They help establish the
area as distinctly different from surrounding
areas and inform arriving visitors that they
are entering a special place with a
resort/recreation character.
Since many visitors will arrive in the area by
vehicle, the Specific Plan defines two
different types of gateways that will be
oriented primarily to vehicles: Freeway
Gateways and Arterial Road Gateways. The
following is a general description and
guiding principles for each of these major
gateways, which are identified on Exhibit
3.1-1, Gateway Location Plan.
Any elements proposed within the public
right-of-way will be submitted for review by
the Planning and Building Director and the
Public Works Director for conformance with
The Anaheim Resort Identity Program, and
if required by the Directors, a minor
modification to the Program will be
processed as described in Section 1.3
Modifications.
3.1.1 Freeway Gateways:
This document identities three freeway
gateways along Interstate 5. They will be
the first experience of The Anaheim Resort
for nearly 70% of arriving visitors and will be
oriented primarily to vehicles. The character
of the freeway gateways will be created
primarily by landscaping, which may consist
of large-scale plantings of trees and
directional signs. Other optional features,
which may be incorporated into these
gateways include:
• Night lighting which highlights the arrival experience;
• Architectural elements consistent with the other garden-like elements to be used in the area; and,
• Identification signs to supplement the directional signs.
3.1.2 Arterial Road Gateways:
Arterial Road Gateways occur on Harbor
Boulevard and Katella Avenue. Gateways
are intended to have the feeling of an event
that has duration, as well as location. They
are oriented primarily to vehicles and
include the following primary elements:
• Trellis-like architectural elements
located in the median and/or parkways, depending on local conditions;
• Trellis elements that have the same appearance at each location, though their arrangement may vary;
• Trellis elements placed on a base which reinforces the element's traditional
character;

• Landscape on the ground that feature color and may consist of large, uniform
shrub masses, seasonal color, or other similar landscape plantings;
• Flags and banners; the deployment of which may be related to seasonal or event-driven needs;
• A logo identifying The Anaheim Resort; and,
Night lighting will be used to highlight the gateway after sunset.
3.1.3 Katella Avenue Gateways
The two gateways on Katella Avenue are
located near the Walnut Avenue and
Anaheim Boulevard/Haster Street
intersections. Site conditions at these two
locations permit both median and parkway
elements. The total Gateway at each
location spans a length of 34 feet.
Exhibit 3.1-2 Katella Avenue Gateway
3.1.4 Harbor Boulevard Gateways
The two gateways on Harbor Boulevard are
located near the Manchester and
Orangewood Avenue intersections. Site
conditions at these two locations permit a
median element only.
Exhibit 3.1-1 Harbor Boulevard Gateway
3.1.5 Arrival Gateways
As depicted on Exhibit 3.1-1, Gateway
Location Plan, Vehicular Arrival Gateways
and Pedestrian Arrival Gateways are
located at the main entrances to theme park
entry plazas or parking facilities. Gateway
facilities would be primarily within the
private property setback areas, but may
have components within the public right-of-
way, subject to approval by the Public
Works Director.
3.1.6 Arterial Gateway Materials
A. The base of the median element of the
gateway is cast in place colored
concrete plinth (the slab-like platform
beneath the base of the columns) rising
approximately 12” from the ground
plane. The concrete is colored to match
C1. The center area is an open berm
landscaped with colorful plants. Large
planters are placed on each berm.
B. Each median element includes 7
columns which are painted to match P1
in the color palette. These 16’ high
columns are fabricated from four 8”
square painted steel tubes at the
corners. The major horizontal straps
are 2” square tubes painted Aztec Gold.
The Anaheim Resort Identity Program
PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT (MARCH 2024)
3-8
Secondary horizontal bands are created
with ¾” x 1/8” painted aluminum straps
tack welded to the surface of square
tubes. The diamond trellis is ¾” x ¾”
painted structural steel tube overlapped
to create the pattern. The diamond
trellis is backed by plexi.
Exhibit 3.1-2 Gateways
C. The cap is a working lantern, circular in
shape and colored with a darker green
bronze patina to match P2 on the color
palette. The lantern openings relate to
the floral pattern of The Anaheim Resort
logo. The light source is an LED RGB
colored lighting strip with four strips in
each pillar protected by a decorative
glass sheath flush to the interior
diameter of the cast bronze lantern.
D. A finial at the very top of each lantern is
a custom casting and is painted red
bronze P5 to match the horizontal bands
of the columns.
E. The Anaheim Resort logo appears just
below the lantern on all four sides as a
full color square ceramic tile.
F. The curving arms that arch back from
the leading column are formed from ¾”
x ¾” painted structural steel tubes
overlapped to create a square and
diamond pattern. The mesh is welded
at the top and bottom to painted metal
channels.
G. The parkway elements that are part of
the Katella Gateway are separate
individual columns and employ the
same design just described. These
columns are spaced to align with the
columns in the median.
3.1.7 Gateway Pageantry
To create a special festive appearance,
decorative banners may be added to the
Arterial Road Gateways. Three flagpoles
located inside the median element, just
behind the leading column, may display
banners year-round. The flagpoles are
standard, off-the-shelf aluminum poles
painted to match P1 on the color palette.
Additional banners may be attached onto
the three flagpoles to announce special
occasions. To maintain the garden-like
character of the gateway structures, no
banners will be displayed on the median or
parkway columns.

Exhibit 3.1-3 Gateway Pageantry
3.1.8 Gateway Night Lighting
A strong night lighting scheme highlights the
gateways as being a point of entry. They
are primarily illuminated by a cool
temperature light source, Hydrel brand well
light fixtures (or fixtures of equivalent
quality) with a metal halide lamp. These
fixtures are located as shown in Exhibit
3.1.8, Conceptual Lighting Plan.
The lanterns are internally illuminated with a
warm light source, sodium HID lamp. The
lantern pattern is silhouetted by this light
and the lanterns act as a warm beacon in
relationship to the cool light on the rest of
the gateway.
Exhibit 3.1-4 Conceptual Lighting Plan
3.2 Lighting Fixtures, Street
Pageantry, Street Furniture,
and Bridges
3.2.1 Lighting Fixtures
The standard street light used in the City of
Anaheim has been replaced within The
Anaheim Resort by a fixture that fits with the
garden trellis design vocabulary. This street
light has a tapered fluted pole with a
“Hancock Base.” A decorative arm with a
cobra head light fixture is attached at the
top. The base, pole and arm have a powder
coated finish to match P7 on the color
palette.
3.2.2 Street Pageantry
Street lights are designed with a removable
armature for pageantry. One banner per
pole is deployed in a regular symmetrical
arrangement along Harbor Boulevard,
Katella Avenue and West Street/Disneyland
Drive. If a street light has two arms, two
banners are attached. The color of the
armature bracket is P7 on the color palette.
Banners may appear on street lights in the
median or parkway.
The intent is to plan for regular changes to
the pageantry element. Banners should be
brightly colored, festive and may be
fabricated as sewn or silkscreened on nylon
of photo image reproductions on an exterior
grade substrate. The intent is that
pageantry elements always look current.

3.2.3 Street Furniture and Sidewalk
Paving
Design and placement of street furniture
within The Anaheim Resort will consist of:
bus shelters, benches, seating, and lean
rails, trash receptacles and newspaper
racks. All street furniture elements are
compatible with and enhance the
landscaped garden theme. Bus shelters
and trash receptacles are a custom design.
A special diamond grid paving pattern is
incorporated into the sidewalk to create a
more pronounced sense of passage.
3.2.4 Bus Shelters
With an approximate dimension of 12’ x 28’,
the roof of the bus shelter is fabricated from
plate steel. The columns of the bus shelter
are 8” diameter steel tubes that meet at the
base to form a solid unit. Approximately 5’-
6’ above grade these tubes radiate and rise
weld to rafter beams in the roof. The
bottom edge of the roof is approximately 9’
above grade.
The decorative band at the top of the bus
shelter has a pattern cut (or approved
equal) into sheet steel. The roof, the
columns and the decorative band should
match P1 on the color palette. The
Anaheim Resort finial is fastened at each
end of the decorative band. Finials match
P5 on the color palette.
Signs are attached to the structure on the
roof. Provisions have also been made for a
bus stop schedule and route sign at each
bus shelter, which may incorporate
changeable messaging with real time bus
and route data.
3.2.5 Benches
A custom cast iron or alternate fabricated
trellis arm has been added to a standard of
the shelf bench for The Anaheim Resort. A
center arm has also been added. They are
painted to match P7. The bench is
fabricated from teak wood or wood with a
similar finish. The wood slats are treated
with a protective coating for ease of
maintenance.
3.2.6 Trash Receptacles
These units are fabricated from malleable
steel and rolled into circular form. They will
be painted to match P7 and a plastic insert
is used to help simplify maintenance.

3.2.7 Newspaper Racks
The design and placement of newspaper
racks upon The Anaheim Resort public
rights-of-way will be compatible with and
enhance the landscaped garden theme.
The newspaper rack base incorporates a
trellis design with a stainless steel
background overlaid with an open diamond
pattern trellis painted the same color of
green (P-7) as the street light poles. The
newspaper rack cabinets will be set on top
of the base and painted to match the green
base and trellis work. Newspaper racks
located upon the public rights-of-way within
The Anaheim Resort will only be placed at
designated bus shelters. Please see
Appendix A – Newspaper Racks for more
information.
Exhibit 3.2-4 Newspaper Racks
3.2.8 Pedestrian Bridges and
Crossings
As part of DisneylandForward, one to two
pedestrian bridges or crossings will be
constructed over Disneyland Drive between
Magic Way and Katella Avenue and at least
one and up to three pedestrian bridges will
be constructed over Harbor Boulevard
between Manchester Avenue and Disney
Way. The construction of any pedestrian
bridge or crossing over public rights-of-way
will require the granting of an encroachment
agreement or similar request for air right
easements over public property by the City
of Anaheim. Refer to Section 4.6,
Pedestrian Circulation Plan, for more
information on pedestrian bridges or
crossings over the public right-of-way.

4 SIGN ELEMENTS
Signs contribute to the unified appearance
of The Anaheim Resort. Signs in the public
right-of-way have a consistent theme that
includes support structures, typeface, and
color palette. Sign elements may be
externally or internally illuminated. The
placement of signs and their individual
messages should be established prior to
sign construction and installation. The major
sign elements in the public right-of-way
include:
• Vehicular directional signs;
• Regulatory signs;
• Street identification signs; and,
• Pedestrian directional signs.
4.1 Guiding Principles
The following five concepts are the guiding
principles, which apply to the development
of sign elements within The Anaheim
Resort.
4.1.1 Reinforce the Landscape
Character of The Anaheim
Resort
In order to unify the area, sign elements
reinforce the landscape character of The
Anaheim Resort. This is achieved in several
ways. All sign and identity elements are:
• Consistent with the geometry established by the landscape planting, particularly the regularly spaced street trees;
• Convey a warmth and friendliness that will make visitors feel welcome;
• Emulate traditional garden elements, such as trellises, pergolas, garden
benches, and other typical garden architectural elements; and,
• Have an open, traditional, metal trellis-work design vocabulary, when appropriate. Lattice grids may be open or closed, square or diamond mesh, simple or elaborate, regular or irregular. Typically, trellis design vocabulary include uprights and capping elements in addition to the grids.
4.1.2 Forms to be Traditional in
Appearance
The basic forms of the sign elements are
more traditional and classical in principle
and appearance. The following principles
help achieve this:
• Symmetry is employed in both the design of individual elements and in their placement in the landscape;
• Classic garden furnishings provide prototypical forms for sign and streetscape elements; and,
• Specially designed street furniture, such as benches, bus shelters, and trash receptacles create a richer, more interesting and inviting pedestrian environment.
4.1.3 Integrated Sign Program
Directs Visitors Efficiently
In order to better orient visitors, an
integrated program, which includes
informational, regulatory and directional
signs, has been established. The overall
intent of this system is to inform, rather than
advertise. This system has the following
characteristics:
• Prior to installation, plans are prepared which show the location, sign type, and message (or messages, in the case of a
changeable message sign) that will be

used for each sign in The Anaheim Resort;
• Signs in the Public Realm (the ultimate public right-of-way) and the freestanding monument signs in the Setback Realm have been designed as a family of signs with a consistent design vocabulary; and,
• Consistent regulations for signs on private property make it easier for
visitors to quickly find their destination.
4.1.4 Consistent Color System
A consistent color system for all sign and
identity elements in the Public Realm and
freestanding monument signs in the
Setback Realm has been established to
further enhance the area's visual
appearance and provide a distinct identity.
The dominant hues of the color system
complement the landscape and incorporate
the colors found in traditional garden-
furnishings.
4.1.5 Family of Signs
The family of signs has been specially
designed to give The Anaheim Resort a
unique identity and provide optimum
legibility in the environment.
4.2 Graphic Standards
Sign graphics are designed to be crisp,
clear, succinct and easy to read. Sign
panels are of two types; Department of
Transportation off-the-shelf signs (such as
stop signs) and custom signs. The latter is
discussed here.
Sign panels will consist of light colored
(white and colored) symbols on a dark
green background. A 60 degree diagonal
(diamond) pattern in applied vinyl or
silkscreened graphics creates a unique look
for the district. The contrast between the
background color (P3) of the sign panel and
the diamond mesh pattern (P4) will be very
subtle so as not to conflict with the legibility
of the message.
A sans serif typeface is used for text
because of its legibility. “Stone” is a
typeface that has a unique recreation
quality. It reinforces The Anaheim Resort
identity. Sign copy will be applied 3M
reflective film to provide illumination at night
and meet Caltrans standards.

4.3 Sign Hierarchy
The communication of information in this
sign system is a hierarchical task. The
hierarchy is based on communicating the
right information in the right place at the
right time. In an effort to achieve this goal,
three zones of information were created.
• Primary Vehicular Directional messages are displayed on cantilever signs that extend over the road. With vehicles traveling on Harbor Boulevard and Katella Avenue at speeds of 45 mph of more it is important that this information can be read from a distance in a way similar to freeway signs. Electronic changeable message also provide timely information.
• Secondary vehicular information messages and trailblazers are located on smaller sign elements on both the median and the parkways.
• Regulatory messages appear only within the parkways
• Freestanding monument signs identifying private businesses only
appear in the setback realm.
As visitors to the area arrive and navigate through the area over one or more days, the information zones will be apparent in a subconscious way. Visitors will look for
certain information in specific areas. For this system to work it is important to reduce visual sign clutter. All necessary information is consolidated on as few signs as possible. A sign hierarchy can only be effective if the number of signs is minimized and the
information on the signs is communicated clearly and succinctly.

4.3.1 Cantilever Signs
Cantilever Signs are primary vehicular signs which extend over, but do not span the roadway.
The sign face is supported on one side of the road by a 28’-0” column. The decorative exterior column is supported internally by a steel tube or tubes engineered to equal the strength of a 16” square steel tube. This steel support is attached to a concrete foundation. This center steel column is covered by a painted metal shroud.
The construction of the decorative exterior elements is similar to the construction of the Gateway columns.
The decorative arms are custom cast pieces painted to match P1. The lanterns on the
top of the columns are not internally illuminated.
The sign is constructed of 1/8” aluminum
sheets, mounted to both sides of the rectangular steel frame which creates the top and bottom edge. An internal steel truss
connects to the center steel tube of the column to support the sign. The front and back face of the sign has a dark green painted background to match P3. The front face has an applied vinyl diamond mesh pattern (custom color to match P4) and applied machine cut vinyl type and symbols. Type and symbols use 3M reflective film to provide illumination at night and meet Caltrans standards.
Cantilever signs have two categories: fixed
with an optional changeable message and electronic changeable message.

Fixed Message Signs
Fixed signs usually do not incorporate any
changeable features. This type of
Cantilever sign has primarily static
messages. Some signs however, may have
a changeable message. Tri-View
Technology is employed with a capability of
3 messages per changeable panel. These
messages are controlled by the City’s traffic
control center for quick modification as
needed.
Exhibit 4.3-3 Fixed Message Signs
Electronic Changeable Message Signs
Electronic changeable message signs
feature existing 5’ x 20’ electronically
controlled display areas which allow custom
messages to be displayed. The messages
may vary during the day and provide
important information to arriving or
departing visitors about the location of
attractions, parking, or traffic conditions.
Electronic changeable message signs are
supported by the same sign pole and
armature with the garden trellis character
found in the other vehicular sign elements.
Exhibit 4.3-4 Electronic Message Signs
4.3.2 Median and Parkway Signs
Tertiary vehicular information and trailblazer
signs are located in the median or parkway.
Most of these signs are non-changeable,
however, some of the fixed signs may
include changeable tri-view portions which
can direct traffic or provide information
about current events. These vehicular
information signs are designed to be
compatible with other signs and identity
elements in terms of character, color and
typeface. Both have colored concrete
bases with a single 8” square tube post at
each vertical support. There are two posts
per sign and they are capped with an
angled faceted metal cap and finial. These
signs may also incorporate a graffiti-
resistant coating.

4.3.3 Regulatory Signs
Regulatory signs appear on the parkway
only. Standard Department of
Transportation signs, such as stop signs
and speed limit signs, are used throughout
The Anaheim Resort. These signs are
mounted on sign poles, which complement
the design character of The Anaheim Resort
light fixture.
The pole is powder coated metal with an
approximate taper from a 4” diameter to a 2”
diameter. The ‘Hancock base” design is
scaled down to fit the size of the pole. A
metal cap is placed at the top of the pole.
The powder coating matches P7 on the
color palette.
Exhibit 4.3-6 Regulatory Signs
Exhibit 4.3-7 Street Identification Sign
4.3.4 Street Identification Signs
Internally illuminated street identification
signs are located on traffic light poles at
major intersections and at secondary
intersections on street light poles. If there is
not an existing light pole at the appropriate
location a slightly larger version of The
Anaheim Resort regulatory sign pole will be
used. The overall height of this pole is 13’4”.
Existing traffic light poles may have an
appropriately scaled “Hancock Base”
attached and all light/sign poles match P7.
The total length of this double-sided sign
panel is 5’6” to 6’6”. The sign is fabricated
as a box that fits over and fastens to the
tapered pole with a tapered bracket. The
street sign portion is fabricated so that the
street name may be changed if necessary.
The graphics are divided into 3 parts:
• A silkscreened 1’0” square Anaheim
Resort logo appears on the end.
• A 1’0” square, powder coated to match
P7 on the color palette, separates the
logo from the street name.
• The actual street name section of this
sign is approximately 3’0” to 4’0” in
length. This painted aluminum sign is
framed with a powder coated metal
channel (P7). The sign face matches
P3 on the color palette. When power is
available, this portion of the sign will be
internally illuminated.

4.3.5 Pedestrian Directional and
Informational Signs
Pedestrian directional and information signs
are located at major intersections. These
signs are maps imbedded in the sidewalk
on each of the comers. The map is
fabricated from cast bronze and is
approximately 4’0” square. A “You are Here”
locator specifies the pedestrian’s location.
Their purpose is to orient pedestrians and
provide direction information to destinations.
Exhibit 4.3-8 Pedestrian Directional and
Informational Signs
Pedestrian Directional and Informational
signs may also include the following
different sign types. Minor pedestrian
directional signs will be placed within
parkways of the public right-of-way in
appropriate locations, and which will be
compatible with vehicular directional and
informational signs. The design and location
of these signs will be subject to the approval
of the Planning and Building Director and
the Public Works Director.
Exhibit 4.3-9 Example of Minor
Pedestrian Directional and Informational
Sign
4.3.6 Freestanding Monument Signs
Freestanding Monument Signs include
those signs on private property which are
intended to identify particular businesses,
uses or properties. Since these signs are
designed to reinforce the identity of The
Anaheim Resort, a similar trellis vocabulary
is used.
• The maximum area of a monument sign identifying a particular property will be determined by the amount of frontage
that particular property has on the adjacent public street;
• Monument signs will have a consistent relationship to the adjacent street, including a minimum setback and a
perpendicular orientation to the ultimate public right-of-way;
• Monument signs will have a consistent design which identifies the use as being part of The Anaheim Resort; and,
• The message on the sign will be limited to essential information about the use on the property: its name, identifying logo, address, and, in the case of hotels, the availability of rooms for rent and
professional affiliation.
