WHEREAS, pursuant to the City's police power, as granted broadly under Article
XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution, the City Council of the City of Anaheim ("City
Council") has the authority to enact and enforce ordinances and regulations for the public peace,
morals and welfare of the City of Anaheim (the "City") and its residents; and
WHEREAS, on April 29, 1986, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 4709 to
establish uniform procedures for the adoption and implementation of Specific Plans for the
coordination of future development within the City, and "Zoning and Development Standards"
when the Specific Plan includes zoning regulations and development standards to be substituted
for existing zoning regulations and development standards under the Zoning Code, which "Zoning
and Development Standards" shall be adopted by ordinance independent of the rest of the Specific
Plan; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the procedures set forth in Chapter 18.72 (formerly,
Chapter 18.93) of the Anaheim Municipal Code, on September 27, 1994, the City Council adopted
Ordinance No. 5454 amending the zoning map to reclassify approximately 549.5 acres of certain
real property described therein into the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan (ARSP) No. 92-2 Zone
subject to certain conditions as specified therein, and Ordinance No. 5453 relating to establishment
of Zoning and Development Standards for the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan No. 92-2 by the
addition of Chapter 18.48 [subsequently renumbered as Chapter 18.116] to said Municipal Code
(referred to herein as "ARSP Zoning and Development Standards"); and
WHEREAS, the ARSP provides a long-range, comprehensive plan for future
development within The Anaheim Resort, an area of the City designated on the General Plan for
Commercial Recreation land uses. The Specific Plan includes a land use plan, zoning and
development standards, design guidelines and a public facilities plan and permits the development
of hotel, convention, retail, and other visitor -serving uses as well as the infrastructure
improvements that are needed to support future development; and
WHEREAS, in connection with the adoption of the ARSP and related actions
(General Plan Amendment, The Anaheim Resort Identity Program and The Anaheim Resort Public
Realm Landscape Program), the City Council certified Master Environmental Impact Report
(MEIR) No. 313, with a Statement of Findings and a Statement of Overriding Considerations, and
adopted Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) No. 0085 by adopting Resolution No. 94R-234
on September 20, 1994. Since being certified in 1994, two validation reports were prepared (1999
and 2004) to evaluate the continued relevance and accuracy of MEIR No. 313; and
WHEREAS, since the adoption of the ARSP, the City Council has adopted fourteen
(14) amendments and thirteen (13) zoning code adjustments, and two (2) amendment requests have
been submitted and subsequently withdrawn, which have expanded the total acreage of the ARSP
area to approximately 581.3 acres; and
WHEREAS, in support of Amendment No. 14 to the ARSP to update the ARSP to
reflect development conditions and regulations, increase the maximum allowable square footage
in the Public Recreational (PR) District to accommodate the future expansion of the Anaheim
Convention Center and replace the conditions of approval contained in Ordinance No. 5454 with
MMP No. 85C in conjunction with related actions (General Plan Amendment, Zoning Code
Amendment, The Anaheim Resort Identity Program Amendment and The Anaheim Resort Public
Realm Landscape Program Amendment), the City Council certified Supplemental EIR No. 2008-
340 (Supplemental EIR No. 340), which is a Supplemental EIR to MEIR No. 313, and approved
MMP No. 85C by adopting Resolution No. 2012-158 on December 18, 2012. Since being certified
in 2012, a validation report was prepared in 2019 to evaluate the continued relevance and accuracy
of SEIR No. 340; and
WHEREAS, the DisneylandForward Project is proposed to allow continued, long-
term growth of The Disneyland Resort. The Project would allow the transfer of uses permitted
under The Disneyland Resort Project to Disney Properties in other areas of the DRSP and the
ARSP. It would also allow future streamlined review of Disney development projects in these
areas. The Project would not increase the amount of development square footage or hotel rooms
currently allowed in the DRSP and analyzed in EIR No. 311, which the City certified in 1993, and
Addendum No. 1 to EIR No. 311, which the City approved in 1996, or the number of hotel rooms
currently allowed in the ARSP and analyzed in Supplemental EIR No. 340, which the City certified
in 2012. However, it would permit an increase of 4,376 theme park employee parking spaces in
the ARSP and provide for future administrative review by the City of Disney's development
projects on Disney Properties within the DRSP and the ARSP. It would also modify the limits of
the existing Theme Park and Hotel District boundaries within the existing DRSP perimeter (these
two Districts would be combined and the expanded District would be called the Theme Park
District) and rename the Future Expansion District to the Southeast District within the DRSP. It
would also establish Overlays for Disney Properties in the ARSP (Theme Park East Overlay,
Theme Park West Overlay and Parking Overlay). Disney is not seeking additional square footage
for theme park uses or retail entertainment uses or additional hotel rooms within The Disneyland
Resort as part of this Project. Instead, the Project would allow Disney to move the existing
Disneyland Resort approvals for these uses to other Disney Properties governed by the DRSP and
ARSP; and
WHEREAS, this ordinance is proposed in connection with and is a component of
the entitlement of. the DisneylandForward Project, which consists of, among other things,
amendments to the City of Anaheim General Plan, Amendment No. 9 to The Disneyland Resort
Specific Plan (DRSP) No. 92-1 and the DRSP Zoning and Development Standards (Anaheim
Municipal Code Chapter 18.114), Amendment No. 17 to the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan
(ARSP) No. 92-2 and the ARSP Zoning and Development Standards (Anaheim Municipal Code
Chapter 18.116), Amendment No. 6 to The Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape Program,
Amendment No. 4 to The Anaheim Resort Identity Program and the First Amended and Restated
Development Agreement No. 96-01 (collectively known as "Development Application No. 2021-
00069" or the "Project"); and
WHEREAS, Amendment No. 17 to the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan No. 92-2,
including amendments to Chapter 18.116 (Anaheim Resort Specific Plan No. 92-2 (SP92-2)
Zoning and Development Standards), has been prepared and submitted for the City's consideration
pursuant to the procedures set forth in Chapter 18.72 of the Anaheim Municipal Code and is on
file with the City of Anaheim Planning and Building Department and incorporated herein by this
reference as if set forth in full; and
WHEREAS, Amendment No. 17 to the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan would
update Chapter 18.116 (Anaheim Resort Specific Plan No. 92-2 (SP92-2) Zoning and
Development Standards) of the Anaheim Municipal Code in its entirety to comprehensively update
standards to reflect the Project. It would provide for administrative review of Disney's
development within the Theme Park and Parking Overlays, provided that the development plans
are in conformance with the ARSP, Conditions of Approval, MMP No. 387, and development
agreement; revise structural height standards in the Theme Park Overlay; require 360 Degree
Architectural Treatments for theme park uses; revise setbacks along certain streets and adjacent to
residential zones; enhance screening along public streets and adjacent to residential zones; and,
update standards to reflect proposed modifications associated with the Project; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.; herein referred to as
"CEQA"), the State of California Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental

WHEREAS, at said public hearing and based upon its independent review, analysis,
and consideration of the environmental information contained in Final SEIR No. 352 to EIR No.
311 and Supplemental EIR No. 340 prepared in connection with the Project, the Planning
Commission found substantial evidence in the record to support its actions and did adopt its

uses to the vacation ownership resort use or as independent facilities, so long as the specific use
is allowed by the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan zone designation. Such uses shall meet all city
laws and requirements.
.050 Development Standards. The development standards established in the Anaheim
Resort Specific Plan zone designation shall be applicable to vacation ownership resorts and the
conversion of existing facilities to vacation ownership resort use. Additional requirements may
be imposed by the Planning Commission/City Council as follows:
.0501 Required facilities. The Planning Commission and/or City Council may
require the provision of facilities, amenities, or design features usually associated with
hotels/motels (for example, lobbies, check -in areas, registration desks, service closets, laundry
facilities, and the like) to ensure that the vacation ownership resort will adequately function in
the same manner as a hotel/motel facility.
.0502 Parking. Additional parking may be required if the design of the facility
and units indicates that additional parking is necessary.
.0503 Setback, height, landscaping, signage requirements and recreation
amenities. Additional restrictions may be required to ensure that the facility is adequately
buffered from surrounding uses.
.0504 Kitchen facilities suitable for visitors may be permitted by the Conditional
Use Permit permitting the vacation ownership resort.

conversions of existing facilities to vacation ownership resort uses. Any conversion of an
existing facility to vacation ownership resort use shall be required to meet the same standards as
new facilities.
.0601 The conversion of any type of existing unit or facility to vacation
ownership resort use shall be subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Conversion
shall be evaluated in terms of the physical suitability of the units or facilities for vacation
ownership resort use. Items to be considered shall include the general maintenance and upkeep
of the structures; general physical condition of the facility; age of the structures; suitability of the
units for the type of occupancy proposed; the age, condition, and general repair of any
recreational facility; and, conformance with appropriate building, safety and fire standards. The
facility shall be upgraded to mitigate any identified deficiencies. Conversions shall also be
evaluated to ensure that the conversion does not create or add to the shortage of the particular
type of unit proposed to be converted in the city as a whole or in any particular area of the city.
.0602 All facilities converted to vacation ownership resort use shall meet all
applicable city requirements, including building, safety, and fire standards, as well as the other
requirements of this section.
.0603 Conversions which would significantly reduce the overall number of
conventional overnight accommodations in the city for visitors shall not be allowed. The effect
of the conversion on existing conventional overnight accommodations shall be quantified by
means of a survey prepared to the satisfaction of the city. The survey shall include a
representative sample of the existing unit supply in terms of location, price and type of unit.
