1.0 Executive Summary
1.1 Introduction
On September 27, 1994, the Anaheim City
Council adopted Ordinance No. 5453 relating to
the establishment of Zoning and Development
Standards for the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan
(ARSP) No. 92-2 by the addition of Chapter
18.116 (formerly 18.48) to the Anaheim Municipal
Code, and Ordinance No. 5454, amending the
zoning map to reclassify approximately 549.5
acres of certain real property into the ARSP. The
ARSP was specifically designated by the City’s
General Plan for recreation and
tourist/convention-related activities.
Since the adoption of the ARSP, proposed
modifications to the specific plan have included
16 amendments and 13 adjustments, which have
included an expansion of the ARSP area to
include 31.8 additional acres, increasing the total
acreage of the ARSP area to 581.3 acres. Refer
to Appendix A, ‘List of Specific Plan Amendments
and Adjustments and Associated Actions
Including General Plan Amendments’ for a
consolidated list of all amendments and
adjustments.
In 2021, to allow continued, long-term growth of
The Disneyland Resort, Walt Disney Parks and
Resorts U.S., Inc. (Disney) proposed
DisneylandForward to allow the transfer of uses
permitted under The Disneyland Resort Project to
other areas of the Disneyland Resort Specific
Plan No. 92-1 (DRSP) and properties within the
ARSP owned or leased by Disney or other
subsidiaries of The Walt Disney Company
(Disney ARSP Properties, and, collectively with
Disney's properties in the DRSP, Disney Property
or Disney Properties). This proposal did not
request an increase in the amount of
development square footage or hotel rooms
allowed in the DRSP, or the number of hotel
rooms allowed in the ARSP. However, it included
an increase of 4,376 theme park-related parking
spaces in the ARSP. The proposal also
requested future administrative review by the City
of Disney's development projects on Disney
Property.
In [insert year], the Anaheim City Council
approved DisneylandForward, including
amendments to the Land Use and Circulation
Elements of the City's General Plan and the
Bicycle Master Plan [Resolution No. xxx, adopted
on xxx], and Amendment No. 17 to the ARSP
document and zoning and development
standards [Ordinance Nos. adopted on xxx].
1.2 Purpose of the Specific Plan
The purpose of the ARSP is to provide a longrange comprehensive plan for future development of approximately 581.3 acres within
The Anaheim Resort, which encompasses 1,078
acres generally located adjacent to and
southwest of Interstate 5 (I-5). To achieve this,
the ARSP establishes an overall identity and land
use plan that is intended to maximize the area's
potential, guide future development, and ensure
a balance between growth and infrastructure.
The ARSP additionally includes specific zoning
and development standards, design guidelines, a
streetscape program, and a public facilities plan,
which describe how the Plan's goals and
objectives will be realized. The ARSP will permit
the development of hotel, convention, retail, and
other visitor-serving uses as well as the infrastructure improvements that will be needed to support future development.

Code)), The Anaheim Resort Public Realm
and Landscape Program, The Anaheim
Resort Identity Program and Planning
Standard Details 5-9, which are referenced
throughout the Specific Plan, are on file with
the City of Anaheim Planning and Building
Department.
1.4 Existing Setting
The ARSP area encompasses 581.3 acres within
the 1,078-acre Anaheim Resort, a portion of the
City of Anaheim specially designated by the
City's General Plan for recreation and
tourist/convention-related activities and
supporting uses. The Anaheim Resort is located
35 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles and
7 miles northwest of Santa Ana, in Central
Orange County. As shown in Exhibit 1.4-1
(ARSP/The Anaheim Resort Boundaries), The
Anaheim Resort is located generally west of the
I-5 corridor, south of Vermont Avenue, east of
Walnut Street, and north of Chapman Avenue.
In addition to this Specific Plan, the City has
undertaken and adopted other planning efforts
for the remaining 496.5 acres in The Anaheim
Resort. The City has adopted the Disneyland
Resort Specific Plan (Specific Plan No. 92-1)
covering 489.7 acres of The Anaheim Resort and
the Hotel Circle Specific Plan (Specific Plan No.
93.1) covering 6.8 acres of The Anaheim Resort.
The three Specific Plans have been prepared to
complement one another by incorporating similar
zoning and development standards, design
guidelines, streetscape and signage programs
and infrastructure improvements. Together, these
documents guide the development and
enhancement of The Anaheim Resort. In addition
to the specific plans, the City Council also
adopted The Anaheim Resort Identity Program
and The Anaheim Resort Public Realm
Landscape Program to provide for the

1.4.1 The Disneyland Resort Specific
Plan
On June 29, 1993, the City of Anaheim approved
The Disneyland Resort Project and adopted The
Disneyland Resort Specific Plan (SP 92-1) to
provide for the development of an international
multi-day vacation destination resort
encompassing approximately 489.7 acres of The
Anaheim Resort. The Disneyland Resort Project
provides for and the DRSP permits the
development of new theme park uses, additional
hotels and entertainment areas, new parking
facilities, and an internal transportation system. In
addition, the DRSP permits the existing
Disneyland theme park to continue to be modified
with new attractions and other improvements.
Although they are separate projects, the ARSP
and The DRSP have been prepared to
complement one another by incorporating similar
zoning and development standards, streetscape
and signage programs, and infrastructure
improvements for the overall enhancement of
The Anaheim Resort.
In 2021, to allow continued, long-term growth of
The Disneyland Resort, Walt Disney Parks and
Resorts U.S., Inc. proposed DisneylandForward,
an update to The Disneyland Resort Project (1)
to allow the transfer of theme park, hotel and
other retail, dining and entertainment uses, and
parking permitted in The Disneyland Resort
Project to other areas of the DRSP and
properties within ARSP owned or leased by
Disney or other subsidiaries of The Walt Disney
Company (Disney ARSP Properties, and,
collectively with Disney’s properties in the DRSP,
Disney Property or Disney Properties), and (2) to
provide for future administrative review by the
City of Disney’s development projects within the
Specific Plan area and The Disneyland Resort
Specific Plan area. This proposal did not request
an increase in the amount of development
square footage or hotel rooms allowed in the
DRSP, or the number of hotel rooms allowed in
the ARSP. However, it would include an increase
of 4,376 theme park-related parking spaces in
the ARSP. The proposal allowed theme park
square footage to move from the DRSP Theme
Park District to the ARSP Theme Park East and
West Overlays provided the total theme park
square footage does not exceed 6,850,000
square feet and proposal allowed the parking
spaces to move from the DRSP Parking District
East Parking Area to the adjacent ARSP Parking
Overlay, in conjunction with development of a
parking facility in the East Parking Area. Any
amount of parking spaces constructed in the P
Overlay at Manchester Avenue would result in an
equivalent amount of potential parking spaces
removed from the allotment for the DRSP
Parking District, East Parking Area. Refer to
Chapter 3 for additional information and Exhibit
1.8-1 (Development Plan) for the location of the
Theme Park and Parking Overlays.
1.4.2 The Hotel Circle Specific Plan
On August 16, 1994, the City of Anaheim
adopted the Hotel Circle Specific Plan (SP 93-1)
for the remaining 6.8 acres of The Anaheim
Resort. This specific plan 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.
1.5 Implementing the General
Plan
The Specific Plan implements the City’s General
Plan by addressing the pertinent goals, policies
and objectives of the General Plan. In 1994,
when the City adopted the ARSP, the following
General Plan policies relevant to development of
the Specific Plan were in place:
• To maintain and encourage Anaheim's
position as a nationally recognized tourist,
convention and recreation center;
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 1.0 Executive Summary
DRAFT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW (SEPT 2023)
1-6
• To increase sales tax yields and further
enhance the economic base of the
community, thereby lessening the tax burden
on real property;
• To encourage the development of quality
facilities that complement conventions, family
entertainment, and recreation within
appropriate areas of the community; and,
• To maintain the integrity of the Commercial
Recreation Area (now referred to as The
Anaheim Resort) by permitting only
compatible land uses within this designated
area.
In 2004, the Anaheim City Council adopted a
comprehensive update of its General Plan, which
continues to incorporate similar goals and
policies relevant to the ARSP.
A complete discussion of the relationship
between the ARSP and the Anaheim General
Plan is found in Section 6.0, General Plan
Consistency.
1.6 Specific Plan Goals
The General Plan is implemented through the
following overall goals of the ARSP:
• To foster the growth of the City's economic
potential by revitalizing The Anaheim Resort;
• To treat all landowners and users in The
Anaheim Resort fairly, while recognizing the
economic and social needs of the entire City;
• To ensure that development complements the
City's investment in the Anaheim Convention
Center and other area resources and
interests;
• To maintain and enhance existing recreation
and convention-oriented land uses;
• To protect adjacent residential land uses by
buffering them from potential land use
impacts associated with development of The
Anaheim Resort;
• To maintain or enhance traffic and circulation
in and around The Anaheim Resort;
• To provide convenient access to all hotel,
restaurant, and retail opportunities in The
Anaheim Resort to enhance the area-wide
tourist experience;
• To protect adjacent residential neighborhoods
from unnecessary intrusion by vehicles
traveling to and from The Anaheim Resort;
• To accommodate potential future regional
transportation networks into the Plan;
• To provide for necessary public infrastructure
and services to maximize the development
potential of The Anaheim Resort;
• To create a coherent, unique resort identity
that reinforces The Anaheim Resort's image
as a high-quality destination resort;
• To establish a high-quality pedestrian
environment;
• To improve the aesthetic character of The
Anaheim Resort by visually defining the
boundaries with appropriate landscape
treatments;
• To enhance the Anaheim Resort area by
providing a wider range of attractions, hotel
accommodations, restaurants, shopping
opportunities, and public parking;
• To support the continued reimagination of
The Disneyland Resort to meet and exceed
evolving guest expectations for immersive
entertainment and technological advances in
theme park and other resort experiences in
the Theme Park Overlays; and
• To continue to fulfill the following vision of
Walt Disney: “Disneyland will never be
completed…It will continue to grow as long as
there is imagination left in the world.”

1.7 The Development Plan
The Development Plan establishes the basic
framework for land use and development
standards, which will govern development of the
ARSP area. It defines the permitted uses,
development density, building setbacks, building
heights, and other design standards that will be
complied with by individual property owners and
developers when building new or renovating
existing projects.
1.7.1 Land Use
The land uses permitted within the ARSP area
will be consistent with the overall goal of
maximizing the area's potential, while
establishing an overall identity. The primary intent
is to provide for the needs of visitors to the area's
attractions. Consequently, the permitted uses are
primarily those that, by their nature, are related to
tourism and entertainment.
The 518.5-acre Commercial Recreation (C-R)
District (Development Area 1), which
encompasses the entire ARSP area, except the
Anaheim Convention Center and the Hilton
Anaheim hotel, provides for the development of
hotels, motels, convention and conference
facilities, as well as restaurants, retail shops, and
entertainment uses. Since the uses are oriented
towards entertainment, retail uses such as
neighborhood shopping centers will not be
permitted. In addition, to discourage use of
automobiles, drive-through restaurants and other
similar uses will not be permitted.
The C-R District also includes three properties on
approximately 31.5 acres, which are within the
Mobilehome Park (MHP) Overlay. The MHP
Overlay encompasses two existing mobile home
parks and a recreational vehicle (RV) park. The
requirements set forth in Chapter 18.14 (Public
and Special-Purpose Zones) of the Anaheim
Municipal Code provide development standards,
regulations, and procedures to mitigate relocation
problems and adverse effects of effects of
displacement upon mobilehome owners when a
park is converted to another land use.
Also located within the C-R District, the 59.3-acre
Anaheim Resort Residential (ARR) Overlay
allows for conditionally permitted residential uses
in conjunction with the development of a fullservice hotel having at least 300 hotel rooms and where (i) hotel uses comprise at least half of the
site density, (ii) residential uses on the site are
fully integrated into the hotel, and (iii) adjacent to
public rights-of-way, residential uses are at least
two stories or 25 feet above ground level.
The 62.8-acre Public Recreation (PR) District
(Development Area 2) encompasses the City of
Anaheim Convention Center and associated
parking complexes, and the 1,600-room Hilton
Anaheim hotel. The PR District allows up to
2,158,363 square feet of convention
center/meeting space; 100,000 square feet of
outdoor programmable space; 2,500 hotel rooms;
and 180,000 square feet of commercial space.
Development within this district is subject to the
requirements of the Public Recreation (PR) Zone.
The purpose of the PR Zone, which is set forth in
Chapter 18.14 of the Anaheim Municipal Code, is
to preserve, regulate and control the orderly use
of City-owned property and adjacent private
property.
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 1.0 Executive Summary
DRAFT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW (SEPT 2023)
1-8
Also located in the C-R District, the Theme Park
(TP) Overlay includes the TP East Overlay and
TP West Overlay. The TP East Overlay includes
one property on approximately 52.6 acres and
currently includes the Toy Story surface parking
lot associated with The Disneyland Resort. The
TP West Overlay includes two properties on
approximately 5.15 acres and currently
encompasses the existing Paradise Pier Hotel
and associated parking structure. The TP
Overlays allow for theme park uses in
conjunction with hotel and other uses allowed by
the C-R District.
Also located in the C-R District, the Parking (P)
Overlay includes two separate areas one at
Manchester Avenue, directly north of the DRSP
Parking District East Parking Area, and one at
the northeast corner of Harbor Boulevard and
Ball Road. The Parking Overlay at Manchester
Avenue includes three properties on
approximately 14.88 acres. The Parking Overlay
at Harbor Boulevard and Ball Road includes eight
properties on approximately 10.69 acres. The
Parking Overlay allows for parking and limited
back-of-house uses, such as administrative
offices and other incidental theme park support
facilities, such as restrooms and parking facility
offices, in conjunction with hotel and other uses
allowed by the C-R District.
1.7.2 Development Density
Because of the location of the ARSP area in an
urban setting, the density at which particular
areas are developed is an important planning
consideration. In particular, the timing and
availability of infrastructure (such as vehicular
access, water and sewer capacity, and storm
drainage facilities) is the critical determinant for
the future development potential of the ARSP
area. In addition, proximity to the area’s
attractions, and the relationship to surrounding
land uses was considered. For the allowable
development densities within the ARSP area,
refer to Section 3.3 of the Land Use Plan.
1.7.3 Development Standards and
Guidelines
In addition to regulations that will govern
development density, the ARSP contains
development standards which regulate building
mass and setbacks from property lines. The
ARSP also contains regulations which define
required landscape treatments both within the
public right-of-way and in required setbacks, as
well as guidelines for site planning, service area
design, parking facility design, building
appearance, signs, and other landscaping.
In recognition of the importance of the Harbor
Boulevard and Katella Avenue corridors to the
identity of The Anaheim Resort, the plan
establishes special standards and guidelines for
the central portion of The Anaheim Resort. This
area, known as the Central Core, encompasses
lots or parcels in the ARSP area with frontage on
Harbor Boulevard between I-5 and Orangewood
Avenue, and on Katella Avenue between Walnut
Street and Haster Street/Anaheim Boulevard.
1.7.4 Development Summary
The maps and accompanying tables on the
following pages summarize the Development
Plan for the ARSP. Exhibit 1.7-1 (Development
Summary Plan), shows the location of the C-R
District (Development Area 1), the PR District
(Development Area 2), the Central Core, the
Mobilehome Park (MHP) Overlay, the Anaheim
Resort Residential (ARR) Overlay, the Theme
Park (TP) Overlay, and the Parking (P) Overlay. It
is accompanied by Table 1.7-1, which
summarizes the Development Plan, and Table
1.7-2, which summarizes the existing and
permitted development in the C-R and PR
Districts.
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 1.0 Executive Summary
DRAFT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW (SEPT 2023)
1-9
As shown in Table 1.7-2, the ARSP permits up to
32,500 hotel rooms or hotel room equivalents
within the C-R District. There are 11,587 hotel
rooms or hotel room equivalents that are currently
developed within the ARSP area. For impact
analysis, commercial uses are converted to hotel
room equivalents on a ratio of 600 square feet of
commercial development to one hotel room.
The PR District includes the 1,712,004 square
foot (sf) Anaheim Convention Center and the
1,600-room Hilton Anaheim hotel. The PR
District allows development of up to 2,158,363
square feet of convention center/meeting space;
100,000 square feet of outdoor programmable
space; 2,500 hotel rooms; and 180,000 square
feet of commercial space.
The TP East Overlay allows development of up to
840,000 square feet of theme park uses allowed
under the DRSP as part of The Disneyland
Resort Project and up to 3,348 hotel rooms,
which are allowed under the Specific Plan. The
TP West Overlay allows development of up to
80,000 square feet of theme park uses permitted
in the DRSP as part of The Disneyland Resort
Project and up to 564 hotel rooms, which are
allowed under the ARSP. Any amount of theme
park square footage constructed in the TP
Overlay would result in an equivalent amount of
potential theme park square footage removed
from the allotment for the DRSP Theme Park
District such that the maximum theme park
square footage in the DRSP Theme Park District,
DRSP Southeast District, and TP Overlay will not
exceed 6,850,000 square feet.
The P Overlay at Manchester Avenue allows
development of a portion of the parking spaces
permitted and allocated to the DRSP Parking
District East Parking Area and up to 1,116 hotel
rooms, which are allowed under the ARSP. The
P Overlay at the northeast corner of Harbor
Boulevard and Ball Road allows development of
up to 5,700 parking spaces and up to 534 hotel
rooms, which are allowed under the ARSP. Any
amount of parking spaces constructed in the P
Overlay at Manchester Avenue would result in an
equivalent amount of potential parking spaces
removed from the allotment for the DRSP
Parking District, East Parking Area.
1.8 Implementing the Specific
Plan
The sketches, diagrams, and plans included in
the ARSP are intended to convey the overall
design intent of the ARSP. As individual
properties are developed, additional site
planning, design review and approval will be
required prior to the issuance of building permits.
In order to convey the design intent of the ARSP,
the trees and other plants shown in sketches and
cross-sections have been drawn to show their
sizes at maturity.

The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 2.0 Planning Context
DRAFT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW (SEPT 2023)
2-1
2.0 PLANNING CONTENT
2.1 Purpose of the Specific Plan
The Anaheim Resort, containing theme parks,
convention facilities and visitor-serving uses such
as hotels, is a unique type of land use
concentration that requires special consideration
and attention to ensure that the various elements
come together to create an exciting, attractive
environment. The unique synergy a destination
resort must have is not easily addressed by
traditional zoning. As a result, it is necessary to
establish a basic framework, which provides
planning policies and standards to assure that
visitor-serving facilities and theme park uses will
come together as an integrated whole. The
ARSP is intended to establish this framework,
thereby ensuring an attractive destination resort
environment.
In addition to overall planning policies, the ARSP
establishes comprehensive zoning regulations
and design guidelines, which recognize the
distinctive nature of tourist and conventionoriented uses, and effectively implements the policies of the ARSP. It also identifies the public
facilities and services that will be needed to
support the development and describes how the
project and its related improvements will be
phased.
The zoning regulations contained within this
specific plan in Section 7.0, Zoning and
Development Standards, are regulatory in nature.
Subsequent development plans and subdivision
maps must be consistent with both the ARSP
and the City of Anaheim General Plan. Any
situation or condition not specifically covered by
provisions contained within this specific plan will
be subject to the regulations of the City of
Anaheim Municipal Code.
2.2 Specific Plan Policies
The specific plan goals stated in Section 1.6
define the basis for the following specific plan
policies. They include:
• Enhance the urban destination area and
create a resort development;
• Establish a unified resort identity;
• Supply adequate visitor and convention
facilities to meet the long-term demand for
entertainment, convention, lodging, and retail
uses;
• Improve public facilities, services and
infrastructure to accommodate projected
growth;
• Improve the transportation system;
• Develop implementation measures to assure
that the area will be enhanced by high quality
development; and
• Protect and enhance surrounding uses.
The following subsections describe these policies
in more detail.
2.2.1 Create and Enhance an Urban
Destination Resort Environment
The primary planning policy for the ARSP is to
enhance an urban destination area and create a
resort environment that features the Anaheim
Convention Center, hotels, restaurants, theme
park attractions, and shopping and entertainment
opportunities. By enhancing this area, visitors will
be encouraged to stay for several days, and
enjoy the variety of recreation and entertainment
opportunities available.
2.2.2 Establish a Unified Resort Identity
In order to establish the identity of The Anaheim
Resort as a premiere destination resort, the
ARSP proposes that a unifying theme be
established throughout the ARSP area. This will
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 2.0 Planning Context
DRAFT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW (SEPT 2023)
2-2
be achieved by establishing a consistent visual
language for the public areas that extend
throughout the ARSP area. The main
components of the unifying visual language will
be: architectural character and quality of the
buildings, landscape, signage, and street
furnishings.
The architectural character and quality of the
buildings proposed will be regulated through a
combination of setback requirements contained
in Section 7.0, Zoning and Development
Standards, and design guidelines contained in
Section 5.0, Design Plan, of this specific plan.
The landscape character of the ARSP will be
created primarily by extensive planting of trees,
shrubs and ground cover. Similarly, signage
within the ARSP area will present a unified visual
character through the use of compatible and
complimentary colors, forms, and typography.
Street furnishings, including lighting fixtures,
benches, pageantry, and entry statements will
also be selected to reinforce the overall identity
of The Anaheim Resort.
2.2.3 Supply Visitor and Convention
Facilities to Meet Long-Term Demand
Another important specific plan policy is to supply
the visitor and convention facilities that will be
needed to meet the long-term demand for
recreation, convention, and visitor-serving
activities. There are three primary types of
facilities needed to achieve this that are
addressed by this plan: hotels, convention
facilities and visitor-serving retail and
entertainment facilities.
• First, the ARSP provides for the development
of up to 32,625 hotel rooms within the
Commercial Recreation (C-R) District.
• Second, the ARSP provides for the ongoing
operation and expansion of the Anaheim
Convention Center, the largest convention
facility on the West Coast, and uses
supportive of this important facility.
• Third, the ARSP also provides for visitorserving retail and entertainment facilities within the ARSP area.
2.2.4 Improve Public Facilities, Services
and Infrastructure to Accommodate
Growth
Another important specific plan objective is to
improve public facilities, services, and
infrastructure to accommodate the growth and
development that is planned to occur within the
ARSP area. The public facility components to be
improved as a result of the ARSP include: the
transportation infrastructure (described in Section
4.0, Public Facilities Plan), and the pedestrian
environment and the streetscape (described in
Section 5.0, Design Plan). The ARSP is designed
to create an inviting, integrated pedestrian
environment that provides convenient
connections throughout the ARSP area and the
adjacent Disneyland Resort. Important elements
of the pedestrian environment are the
landscaped parkways and pedestrian facilities
that are provided throughout the area. The ARSP
includes streetscape improvements that are
compatible with those in the Disneyland Resort
Specific Plan and which contribute to a unifying
visual character for the entire Anaheim Resort.
Improvements to underground infrastructure,
including the storm drainage, water supply,
electrical and sewerage systems and enhanced
public services are also provided.
2.2.5 Improve the Transportation System
An essential part of the specific plan is to identify
improvements to the transportation system so
that access to the ARSP area will be improved.
These improvements include a combination of
new access routes to and from I-5 and local
roadway improvements.
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 2.0 Planning Context
DRAFT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW (SEPT 2023)
2-3
The ARSP area can also be easily accessed by
the Orange County Transportation Authority
(OCTA) bus lines and Anaheim Resort
Transportation, both of which provide
connections from nearby Metrolink/Amtrak and
future high-speed rail stations, including ARTIC
(Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal
Center), a multimodal transportation facility.
Day visitors to the ARSP area will have
convenient access to and from two new public
day-use parking facilities (described in more
detail in The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan).
These facilities will have a maximum capacity of
34,300 cars and will accommodate Anaheim
Convention Center, as well as theme park
visitors. Access from the parking facilities to the
Anaheim Convention Center will be by shuttle
bus or via the pedestrian walkway system.
Overnight visitors arriving by I-5 may use the
same interchanges as day visitors but will be
directed to surface streets for access to hotels or
other facilities within The Anaheim Resort.
These facilities will complement those proposed
within the adopted Disneyland Resort Specific
Plan, which includes high-capacity public parking
facilities, pedestrian walkways, transportation
system(s), and pedestrian bridges .
2.2.6 Develop Implementation
Mechanisms to Assure Quality
Development
To assure the overall quality of the ARSP area,
the ARSP contains implementation mechanisms
that promote the design goals of the Plan. These
mechanisms include development regulations,
standards, and design guidelines, as well as a
public facilities plan. Section 5.0, Design Plan,
describes the design concepts that will be
implemented to provide a unified identity. The
City has also adopted an Identity Program for
The Anaheim Resort that has been developed in
conjunction with this specific plan and which is
also described in Section 5.0. The zoning and
development standards are contained within
Section 7 .0, Zoning and Development
Standards. They define the permitted uses and
establish setback standards, among other things.
2.2.7 Enhance and Protect Surrounding
Uses
Implementation of the ARSP will enhance and
protect the surrounding uses through the
following means. First, development setback
areas are created and maintained to provide an
aesthetically appealing, landscaped buffer
between the development in the ARSP area and
neighboring uses. Second, development in the
ARSP will incorporate 360-degree architecture
for Disney ARSP Properties to protect and
improve public views into the Specific Plan area.
Third, convenient access to the public parking
facilities from Interstate 5 minimizes the use of
local streets by visitors to the ARSP area. As a
fully integrated planning document, the ARSP
provides the overall policy direction (in this
Section, Section 3.0, Land Use Plan, and Section
4.0, Public Facilities Plan) as well as the
particular planning tools (Section 5.0, Design
Plan, and Section 7.0, Zoning and Development
Standards) needed to ensure that these goals
are achieved as development of the ARSP area
proceeds.
2.3 Authority and Scope of the
Specific Plan
The City of Anaheim's authority to prepare,
adopt, and implement specific plans is assured
by California Government Code, Article 8
Specific Plans, Section 65450 through Section
65457. Procedures for the adoption,
implementation, and amendment of specific
plans are provided in Chapter 18.72 Specific
Plans, of the Anaheim Municipal Code. The
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 2.0 Planning Context
DRAFT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW (SEPT 2023)
2-4
Planning Commission must hold a public hearing
before it can recommend the adoption of a
specific plan by the City Council. The City
Council may then adopt the specific plan by
ordinance.
As required by Chapter 18.72 of the Anaheim
Municipal Code and California Government Code
Sections 65450 et. seq., this document and the
associated environmental impact reports that
have been prepared for the ARSP, Master
Environmental Impact Report No. 313 (MEIR No.
313), Supplemental Environmental Impact Report
No. 340 (SEIR No. 340), and Supplemental
Environmental Impact Report No. 352 (SEIR No.
352) specify the following in detail:
• The nature, location, density and size of all
existing and proposed land uses, including
open space.
• Vehicular and pedestrian circulation within
the project and surrounding area.
• The provision of essential urban services
including, but not limited to, energy, public
safety, public utilities, sewage, solid waste
disposal, storm water drainage, water,
recreation and other essential facilities which
may be needed to support proposed
development.
• Land use and other regulations that will
implement the specific plan.
• Programs, public works projects, and
financing measures to implement the specific
plan.
• A statement of the relationship of the specific
plan to the General Plan.
Chapter 18.72 also requires a development
schedule setting forth phasing of development
and target dates for completion. The ARSP is
intended to provide guidelines and regulations for
the future development of the ARSP area and
does not contain any proposals for specific
developments other than the Public Facilities
Plan. As such, it does not contain a phasing plan,
which establishes a precise sequence, time, and
level of development. Development of the ARSP
area will likely be spread over a number of years
as individual landowners renovate their property,
or replace existing buildings with new ones. SEIR
No. 340 has assumed thresholds of development
for modeling purposes in Year 2030 and contains
mitigation measures to ensure that infrastructure
improvements will be required commensurate
with development. For the DisneylandForward
project, SEIR No. 352 has assumed for purposes
of analysis that Disney would implement the
Project over the next decades depending on
market conditions and contains mitigations
measures to ensure that infrastructure
improvements will be required commensurate
with development.
In addition, this document addresses subjects,
such as urban design, which are necessary and
desirable for implementation of the General Plan.
Further, this document provides information that
specifies how the proposed ARSP is in
conformance with the following findings, which
the Planning Commission and the City Council
are required to make prior to approving or
amending a specific plan:
• That the property proposed for the specific
plan has unique site characteristics such as
topography, location or surroundings which
are enhanced by special land use and
development standards;
• That the specific plan is consistent with the
goals and policies of the General Plan and
with the purposes, standards and land use
guidelines therein;
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 2.0 Planning Context
DRAFT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW (SEPT 2023)
2-5
• That the specific plan results in development
of desirable character, which will be
compatible with existing and proposed
development in the surrounding
neighborhood;
• That the specific plan contributes to a
balance of land uses; and,
• That the specific plan respects environmental
and aesthetic resources consistent with
economic realities.
2.4 Relationship to City Planning
Documents and Regulations
This section describes the relationship of the
ARSP to other relevant City planning documents
and regulations.
2.4.1 Relationship to the General Plan
As previously mentioned, the ARSP is consistent
with the goals and policies of the General Plan.
Section 6.0, General Plan Consistency, includes
a discussion of each of the applicable General
Plan Element's goals and policies, and how they
are implemented through the ARSP.
2.4.2 Relationship to the Zoning
Ordinance
The ARSP defines zoning districts, regulations,
and development standards that will apply to the
ARSP area. In cases where the ARSP does not
address a particular situation, the regulations and
development standards contained within Title 18
of the Anaheim Municipal Code will apply. To the
extent the two differ, the ARSP's policies, design
guidelines, regulations, and development
standards will apply.
2.4.3 California Environmental Quality
Act Requirements
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
requires that local agencies, prior to taking action
on projects over which they have discretionary
approval authority, consider the environmental
consequences of such projects. An
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is a public
document designed to provide the public,
responsible/trustee agencies, special districts,
and local and State government agency decisionmakers with an analysis of the potential environmental consequences of project
implementation in order to support an informed
decision.
Pursuant to local and State CEQA Guidelines,
the City of Anaheim certified The Anaheim
Resort Specific Plan Master EIR No. 313 (State
Clearinghouse No. 91091062) in support of the
adoption of The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan
No. 92-2 in September 1994. Master EIR No. 313
evaluated impacts associated with the
establishment and implementation of the ARSP
and created a Mitigation Monitoring Program
(MMP No. 0085) in order to mitigate impacts
associated with ARSP area development. Since
being certified in 1994, two Validation Reports
have been prepared (1999 and 2004) to evaluate
the continued relevance and accuracy of Master
EIR No. 313 and its ability to be used as a
Master EIR for all projected development within
the boundaries of the ARSP area. In December
2012, the City certified Supplemental EIR No.
340 to reevaluate all the environmental changes
that have occurred in and around The Anaheim
Resort and to evaluate an expansion of the
Convention Center. Since being certified in 2012,
one Validation Report has been prepared (2019)
to evaluate the continued relevance and
accuracy of SEIR No. 340 and its ability to be
used as a Master EIR for all projected

development within the boundaries of the ARSP
area.
In 2021, to allow continued, long-term growth of
The Disneyland Resort, Walt Disney Parks and
Resorts U.S., Inc. (Disney) proposed
DisneylandForward, an update to The
Disneyland Resort Project (1) to allow the
transfer of uses permitted under the Disneyland
Resort Project to other areas of the DRSP and
Disney ARSP Properties (Disney’s Properties in
the DRSP and Disney ARSP Properties are
collectively referred to as “Disney Property” or
“Disney Properties”) and (2) to provide for future
administrative review by the City of Disney’s
development projects on Disney Properties.
Pursuant to local and State CEQA Guidelines,
the City of Anaheim prepared an Initial Study
which determined that certain potentially
significant environmental impacts might be
associated with development of the
DisneylandForward project. As a result, the City
prepared Subsequent EIR No. 352 (under
separate cover) which identifies impacts which
may result from the development of
DisneylandForward and includes recommended
mitigation measures to lessen these impacts.
The City Council certified the Final Subsequent
EIR No. 352 for DisneylandForward on [insert
date] and created a Mitigation Monitoring
Program (MMP No. 387) in order to mitigate
impacts associated with DisneylandForward
development. SEIR No. 352 also provides the
environmental analysis required for the addition
of theme park uses in the ARSP Theme Park
East and ARSP Theme Park West Overlays and
the additional of parking uses in the ARSP
Parking Overlays. For non-Disney properties
located in the DRSP and the ARSP, EIR No. 311
and SEIR No. 340, including the associated
Mitigation Monitoring Plans, would continue to
apply to future development.
In addition to addressing the potential
environmental impacts that would result from the
ARSP Update and the Anaheim Convention
Center Expansion, Supplemental EIR No. 340
serves as the primary environmental document
for all future entitlements associated with the
ARSP, including all discretionary approvals
requested or required to implement the ARSP.
For the DisneylandForward Project,
Supplemental EIR No. 352 serves as an
additional environmental document for all future
development associated with Disney Properties.
2.4.4 Relationship to The Disneyland
Resort Specific Plan
The City of Anaheim adopted The Disneyland
Resort Specific Plan (Specific Plan No. 92-1) and
certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR) No.
311 on June 29, 1993. The Disneyland Resort
Specific Plan provides for the development of an
international multi-day vacation destination resort
encompassing approximately 489.7 acres of The
Anaheim Resort. The Plan permits the
development of new theme parks, additional
hotels and entertainment areas, new parking
facilities, and an internal transportation system.
In addition, the Plan permits the existing
Disneyland and Disney California Adventure
theme parks to continue to be modified with new
attractions and other improvements.
In 2021, to allow continued, long-term of The
Disneyland Resort, Walt Disney Parks and
Resorts U.S., Inc. proposed DisneylandForward,
an update to The Disneyland Resort Project. The
Disneyland Resort Project included updates to
The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan to allow the
transfer of theme park, hotel and other retail,
dining and entertainment uses, and parking
permitted in The Disneyland Resort Project and
to provide future streamlined review by the City
of Disney’s development projects.
The City Council certified the Final Subsequent
EIR No. 352 for DisneylandForward on [insert
date], which included environmental review for

DRAFT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW (SEPT 2023)
2-7
development in the Southeast District as
envisioned by EIR No. 311.
Although they are separate projects, preparation
of the ARSP and The Disneyland Resort Specific
Plan were coordinated to ensure planning consistency, and to ensure that elements of the plans are complementary (for example, definition of
planning area boundaries, the design of the
streetscape improvements and the provision of
adequate infrastructure). Where appropriate,
references or descriptions of the programs
proposed as part of The Disneyland Resort
Specific Plan are included within this document in
order to provide the reader with a better
understanding of the relationship between the
planning concepts and programs proposed as
part of each of the two Specific Plans.
2.4.5 Relationship to the Hotel Circle
Specific Plan
On August 16, 1994, the City of Anaheim
adopted the Hotel Circle Specific Plan (SP 93-1)
for the remaining 6.8 acres of The Anaheim
Resort. This specific plan 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.

Chapman Avenue.
Exhibit 3.1-1 Regional Location Map
3.2 Existing Conditions
This Section contains a description of the ARSP
area and other relevant existing conditions.
3.2.1 The Specific Plan Area
The ARSP area is located within The Anaheim
Resort, an area designated by the City of
Anaheim General Plan for recreation and
tourist/convention-related activities along with
related visitor-serving uses. The Anaheim Resort
itself contains approximately 1,078 acres. Exhibit
3.2-1 (ARSP/The Anaheim Resort Boundaries)
shows the location of the ARSP area within The
Anaheim Resort. Harbor Boulevard, West
Street/Disneyland Drive, and Haster Street are
the main north-south thoroughfares through the
project area. Katella Avenue, Ball Road, and
Orangewood Avenue are the main east-west
thoroughfares. I-5 also crosses through the
ARSP area.
3.2.2 Existing Uses
The current uses within the ARSP area include a
variety of commercial, retail, hotel/motel, and
visitor- and convention-serving uses. In addition,
some nonconforming uses such as mobile home
parks, and industrial and office facilities are
located in the ARSP area. The Anaheim
Convention Center is located on the south side of
Katella Avenue, west of Harbor Boulevard.
Residential neighborhoods consisting of singlefamily homes and multiple-family dwelling units are located south and west of the Anaheim
Convention Center and around the periphery of
The Anaheim Resort.

3.3 Land Use Plan
This section contains a description of the land
use plan for the ARSP. In particular, it establishes the general policies that will govern land use within the ARSP area. Section 7.0, Zoning
and Development Standards, contains specific,
detailed zoning and development standards,
which are based on the policies described herein.
The land use plan is based on three major
factors that will govern land use within the ARSP
area. For each of these three factors, the ARSP
provides a background rationale for the proposed
land use regulations, as well as a description of
the basic land use policies. They are:
• The land uses permitted in the Commercial
Recreation (C-R) and Public Recreation
(PR) Districts as well as in the Mobilehome
Park (MHP) Overlay, the Anaheim Resort
Residential (ARR) Overlay, the Theme Park
(TP) Overlay, and the Parking (P) Overlay;
• The maximum development density
permitted in the C-R District; and,
• The types of development standards that will
apply to development.
Exhibit 3.3-1 (Development Summary Plan) for
the ARSP, which shows the location of the C-R
and PR Districts, the Central Core, and the MHP,
ARR, TP, and P Overlays. Further information
regarding development densities permitted within
these development areas are depicted on the
maps on the following pages of the Land Use
Plan.
3.3.1 Land Use
As implied in its name, The Anaheim Resort is
intended for land uses with a commercial and/or
recreational emphasis. The presence of the
Anaheim Convention Center, the Disneyland
Theme Park and Disney’s California Adventure
Theme Park has established The Anaheim
Resort as an important regional, as well as
national and international destination. In the
future, other similar attractions may be developed
in The Anaheim Resort. As a result, visitors to
The Anaheim Resort require many types of
goods and services in order to make their visits
safe, convenient and enjoyable.
Among the most common visitor requirements
are food and lodging. Consequently, in the
majority of the 518.5-acre C-R District, hotels,
motels and restaurants are permitted uses. In
addition, many service and retail businesses
intended to accommodate visitors, such as
barber or beauty shops, travel agencies,
automobile rental agencies, and specialty retail
shops, will also be permitted when integrated
within a hotel/motel development. Those uses
which are consistent with the overall intent of the
ARSP, but which may require special consideration in order to assure compatibility with surrounding uses will require conditional use
permits.
The 1.8 million square foot Anaheim Convention
Center, one of the major visitor destinations in
The Anaheim Resort, and the existing 1,600-
room Hilton Anaheim hotel are located in the
62.8-acre PR District (Development Area 2).
Development within the PR District is subject to
the requirements of the PR (Public Recreational)
Zone, which is intended to preserve, regulate,
and control the orderly use of City-owned
properties such as Convention Center complexes
and adjacent private properties. Other related
visitor-serving uses allowed in the District as
accessory uses are concession stands,
restaurants, and shops.
As part of DisneylandForward, which amends
The Disneyland Resort Project, theme park uses
were introduced in the ARSP area within the TP
Overlay. The TP Overlay encompasses
approximately 57.75 acres and accommodates
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 3.0 Land Use Plan
DRAFT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW (SEPT 2023)
3-5
up to 920,000 square feet of theme park uses
already approved in the DRSP as part of The
Disneyland Resort Project and up to 3,912 hotel
rooms which are allowed under the Specific Plan.
The intent of the TP West Overlay is to allow
development of theme park uses on ARSP
properties concurrently with the development of
theme park uses in the DRSP Theme Park
District. The intent of the TP East Overlay is to
allow development of theme park uses on ARSP
properties concurrently with the development of
theme park uses in the DRSP Southeast District.
Any amount of theme park square footage
constructed in the TP Overlay will result in an
equivalent amount of potential theme park
square footage removed from the allotment for
the DRSP Theme Park District such that the
maximum theme park square footage in the
DRSP Theme Park District, DRSP Southeast
District, and TP Overlay will not exceed
6,850,000 square feet.
As part of DisneylandForward, the P Overlay was
introduced in the ARSP to permit parking spaces
for theme park uses, a limited amount of back-ofhouse uses such as supporting office space, a limited amount of retail and dining such as kiosks
along pedestrian pathways within the P Overlay,
and up to 1,650 hotel rooms which are allowed
under the Specific Plan. The P Overlay
encompasses 25.57 acres. The P Overlay along
Manchester Avenue north of the East Parking
Area of the DRSP Parking District allows
development of a portion of the number of
parking spaces approved for the East Parking
Area as part of The Disneyland Resort Project.
The intent of the P Overlay is to allow
development of these parking spaces
concurrently with the development of parking
facilities in the East Parking Area. The P Overlay
also allows development of up to 5,700 parking
spaces at the Harbor Boulevard and Ball Road
properties.
Section 7.0, Zoning and Development Standards,
contains a complete list of all the permitted
primary uses, as well as accessory uses,
conditional uses, and prohibited uses.

3.3.2 Commercial Recreation (C-R)
District Development Density
The ARSP establishes seven density
designations in the C-R District (Development
Area 1) that will help assure that development of
the area will be compatible with proposed
infrastructure and with the goal to protect
surrounding residential uses. These density
designations are based upon hotel/motel
development and allow up to 20% of each
hotel/motel project gross square footage,
excluding parking facilities, to be developed with
integrated (i.e., included within the main
hotel/motel complex) accessory uses. These
accessory uses will reduce the otherwise
maximum permitted hotel/motel density at the
rate of one hotel/motel room per six hundred
(600) gross square feet of accessory use. For
properties proposed to be developed with
permitted and conditionally permitted uses other
than hotels/motels with accessory uses, the
traffic generation characteristics of said uses
shall not exceed those associated with the otherwise permitted hotel/motel (including accessory uses) density as determined by the Planning
Director or designee prior to Final Site Plan
review and approval.
The seven density categories established by the
plan are:
• Low Density (up to 50 hotel rooms/acre);
• Low-Medium Density (up to 75 hotel
rooms/acre);
• Low-Medium Density (Modified) (up to 252
hotel rooms and 75,593 square feet of
accessory uses);
• Medium Density (up to 100 hotel
rooms/acre);
• Medium Density (Modified) (up to 345 hotel
rooms);
• Medium Density (Modified A) (up to 127
hotel rooms); and,
• Convention Center Medium Density (up to
125 hotel rooms/acre provided the trip
generation characteristics are equivalent to
100 hotel rooms/acre).
Exhibit 3.3-2 (C-R District Development Density
Plan), identifies the location of each density
designation within the C-R District.
The areas with the Low Density designation are
generally located where planned future
infrastructure improvements will not support more
intense development, or which are located further
from the area’s attractions. Areas with the LowMedium and Medium Density designations are located where planned future infrastructure will
be sufficient to accommodate these more intense
levels of development, and which are located
closer to the main attractions of The Anaheim
Resort. Areas immediately adjacent to the
Anaheim Convention Center have the
Convention Center Medium designation in
recognition that guests at these hotels typically
do not have automobiles and, therefore, place
fewer demands on area streets, one of the most
important infrastructure factors that tend to limit
development density. In addition, the Low
Medium (Modified) density designation allows
252 hotel rooms and 75,593 square feet of
commercial uses, which is equivalent to 378
hotel rooms, at the southeast corner of Katella
Avenue and Harbor Boulevard, the Medium
Density (Modified) density designation allows up
to 345 hotel rooms or its equivalent on South
Manchester Avenue and the Medium Density
(Modified A) density designation allows up to 127
hotel rooms on Clementine Street.
In recognition of the extensive existing
development within The Anaheim Resort, the
ARSP contains provisions, which permit existing
hotels/motels to renovate or rebuild at the density
existing on the date of adoption of the ARSP,
even if the density exceeds the maximum
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 3.0 Land Use Plan
DRAFT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW (SEPT 2023)
3-8
permitted by the density category in which the
property is located.
The C-R District also encompasses properties
that have a Mobile Home Park (MHP) Overlay
designation, an Anaheim Resort Residential
(ARR) Overlay designation, a Theme Park (TP)
Overlay designation, and a Parking (P) Overlay
designation.

3.3.3 Mobilehome Park (MHP) Overlay
The C-R District includes three properties on
approximately 31.5 acres, which have a
Mobilehome Park (MHP) Overlay designation.
The MHP Overlay encompasses two existing
mobilehome parks and a recreational vehicle
(RV) Park. The properties within the MHP
Overlay are subject to the requirements set forth
in Chapter 18.26 of the Anaheim Municipal Code,
which provides development standards,
regulations, and procedures to mitigate relocation
problems and adverse effects of displacement
upon mobilehome owners when a park is
converted to another land use. Exhibit 3.3-3
(Mobilehome Park (MHP) Overlay in C-R District)
identifies the parcels that are subject to the MHP
Overlay in the C-R District.
3.3.4 Anaheim Resort Residential (ARR)
Overlay
The Anaheim Resort Residential (ARR) Overlay,
which is located on 59.3 acres within the C-R
District, allows for conditionally permitted
residential uses in conjunction with the
development of a full service hotel having at least
300 hotel rooms and where (i) hotel uses
comprise at least half of the site density, (ii)
residential uses on the site are fully integrated
into the hotel, and (iii) adjacent to public rights-ofway, residential uses are at least two stories or 25 feet above ground level. Exhibit 3.3-4
(Anaheim Resort Residential (ARR) Overlay in
the C-R District) identifies the parcels that are
subject to the ARR Overlay in the C-R District.
3.3.5 Public Recreation (PR) District
Development Density
The 62.8-acre Public Recreation (PR) District
(Development Area 2) encompasses the
Anaheim Convention Center and associated
parking complexes, and the 1,600-room Hilton
Anaheim hotel. Development within the PR
District can include up to 2,158,363 square feet
of convention center/meeting space; 100,000
square feet of outdoor programmable space;
2,500 hotel rooms; and 180,000 square feet of
commercial space. Development within this
district is subject to the requirements of the
Public Recreational (PR) Zone. The purpose of
the PR Zone, which is set forth in Chapter 18.14
(Public and Special-Purpose Zones) of the
Anaheim Municipal Code, is to preserve, regulate
and control the orderly use of City-owned
property and adjacent private property. Exhibit
3.3-5 (Public Recreation (PR) District) identifies
the parcels that are subject to the PR District.
3.3.6 Theme Park (TP) Overlay
The TP Overlay includes the TP East Overlay
and TP West Overlay, which are located within
the C-R District. The TP East Overlay includes
approximately 52.6 acres and currently includes
the Toy Story surface parking lot associated with
The Disneyland Resort. The TP East Overlay
allows development of up to 840,000 square feet
of theme park uses permitted in the DRSP as
part of The Disneyland Resort Project and up to
3,348 hotel rooms, which are allowed under the
ARSP. The TP West Overlay includes
approximately 5.15 acres and currently
encompasses the existing Paradise Pier Hotel
and associated parking structure. The TP West
Overlay allows development of up to 80,000
square feet of theme park uses permitted in the
DRSP as part of The Disneyland Resort Project
and up to 564 hotel rooms, which are allowed
under the ARSP. Exhibit 3.3-6 (Theme Park (TP)
Overlay in the C-R District) identifies the parcels
that are subject to the TP Overlay.
3.3.7 Parking (P) Overlay
The Overlay includes two separate areas, one
along Manchester Avenue, immediately north of
the DRSP Parking District East Parking Area,
and one at the northeast corner of Harbor
Boulevard and Ball Road, both of which are
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 3.0 Land Use Plan
DRAFT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW (SEPT 2023)

located in the C-R District. The P Overlay at
Manchester Avenue includes three properties on
approximately 14.88 acres and allows
development of a portion of the parking spaces
permitted and allocated to the DRSP Parking
District East Parking Area and up to 1,116 hotel
rooms, which are permitted under the ARSP. The
P Overlay at Harbor Boulevard and Ball Road
includes five properties on approximately 10.69
acres and allows up to 5,700 parking spaces and
development of up to 534 hotel rooms, which are
permitted under the ARSP. Exhibit 3.3-7 (Parking

3.3.8 Central Core Development
Standards
The third factor affecting land use within the
ARSP area are the additional development
standards applied to parcels in the heart, or
Central Core, of The Anaheim Resort. The
Central Core includes parcels with frontage on
Harbor Boulevard between I-5 and Orangewood
Avenue, and all parcels with frontage on Katella
Avenue between Haster Street/Anaheim
Boulevard and Walnut Street. For reasons
described in the next paragraph, the Central
Core requires different standards than does the
periphery, especially with respect to building
massing and provision for pedestrians. The
Central Core is depicted in Exhibit 3.3-8 (Central
Core Plan).
Development on the parcels within the Central
Core has an especially important role to play in
creating an overall image for The Anaheim
Resort. Inasmuch as the Central Core is in close
proximity to The Anaheim Resort's major
attractions, the potential for pedestrian use is
greatest in this area. By making the Central Core
a more interesting area to walk through, the
Central Core development standards will
encourage more people to leave their cars and
walk, thereby improving vehicular traffic flow. The
uses adjacent to these stretches of road within
the ARSP area will also have a stronger visual
impression on the large number of vehicles that
pass through it each day.
Among the differences in development standards
between the Central Core and the periphery are
the following:
• In the Central Core, no parking will be
allowed between the public right-of-way and
the building face, making the Central Core
more visually interesting since the parked
vehicles will be behind the buildings.
Whereas in the periphery, parking is allowed
in front of a building provided said parking is
not within the minimum required setback
from the public right-of-way;
• Buildings in the Central Core will be required
to occupy a minimum of 60% of the frontage
adjacent to the right-of-way (or provide a
solid mass of landscape to achieve the
same effect) in order to create a well-defined
"edge" for the street. No such restrictions will
apply to parcels outside the Central Core;
and,
• Special Landscaped Intersections will be
required at the entrances to The Anaheim
Resort and the center of the Central Core to
create an edge and orient the pedestrian
visually.
These special development standards for the
Central Core are described in Section 7.0,
Zoning and Development Standards. Section 5.0,
Design Plan, also contains guidelines which
distinguish one area from another.

3.4 Non Visitor-Serving Uses
In order to foster the establishment and growth
within The Anaheim Resort of tourist, convention
and entertainment-related industries, such as
theme parks, hotels, motels, vacation ownership
resorts, tourist-oriented retail and entertainment,
restaurants, movie theaters, convention and
conference facilities and other visitor-serving
facilities, and recognizing that the presence of
non-visitor-serving uses in The Anaheim Resort
would be incompatible with this goal, residential
uses may only be permitted in limited areas of
the ARSP area as provided by and in accordance
with the Anaheim Resort Residential (ARR)
Overlay (Anaheim Municipal Code Section
18.116.125) in effect as of March 19, 2007
(conditionally permitted residential uses in
conjunction with the development of a full service
hotel having at least 300 hotel rooms and where
(i) hotel uses comprise at least half of the site
density, (ii) residential uses on the site are fully
integrated into the hotel, and (iii) adjacent to
public rights-of-way, residential uses are at least
two stories or 25 feet above ground level, and
residential uses are also permitted as provided
by and in accordance with the Mobile Home Park
(MHP) Overlay (Anaheim Municipal Code
Chapter 18.26) in effect as of March 19, 2007.
No other residential uses shall be incorporated
into the Commercial Recreation land use
designation and/or allowed within the ARSP area
without (i) completion of an Environmental Impact
Report prepared in accordance with the
requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act, (ii) completion of a long-term
economic impact analysis of the proposed
change by an independent financial advisor
retained by the City, (iii) approval by the City
Council, and (iv) approval of a majority of voters
of the City of Anaheim at a regularly-scheduled
municipal election.

4.0 PUBLIC FACILITIES PLAN
The Public Facilities Plan contains a description
of the proposed plans for transportation, utilities,
infrastructure, and services for the ARSP area.
The first two subsections describe regional
improvements, which have an impact on the
ARSP area. The improvements described under
each of the remaining sections are intended to
summarize the infrastructure/services needed for
the complete build-out of The Anaheim Resort.
More detailed information concerning the public
facilities is provided in SEIR No. 340 and SEIR
No. 352, which contain detailed maps and
exhibits, including a thorough discussion of the
existing conditions within the ARSP area.
4.1 Regional Circulation
Programs
Currently, several major facilities provide
vehicular access to the ARSP area. They
include: I-5, Katella Avenue, Haster
Street/Anaheim Boulevard, Ball Road, Harbor
Boulevard, Chapman Avenue, and Disney Way.
Secondary roads within the ARSP area include:
Manchester Avenue, Clementine Street,
Orangewood Avenue, Walnut Street, West
Street, and Disneyland Drive. All other streets
within the ARSP area are Local Streets, including
Alro Way, Casa Vista Street, Vermont Avenue,
Wilken Way, and Zeyn Street.
Many roads within the ARSP area have been, or
are anticipated to be improved, in connection
with other local, county, and State circulation
programs. Facilities in this category include:
• I-5, interchanges at West Street/ Disneyland
Drive, Harbor Boulevard/Ball Road, Katella
Avenue/Disney Way/Anaheim Boulevard,
Gene Autry Way, and Orangewood Avenue
have been improved as part of the I-5
widening;
• Katella Avenue has been improved and will
be further widened as part of the Orange
County Smart Street Program; and,
• Several intersections have been identified in
the City’s Planned Roadway Network to
receive additional supplemental turning lanes,
including but not limited to, Harbor Boulevard
and Katella Avenue, Katella Avenue and
Anaheim Boulevard/Haster Street, Harbor
Boulevard and Ball Road, Harbor Boulevard
and Convention Way, and Haster Street and
Gene Autry Way.
Improvements are funded by State and Federal
funds, Orange County's Measure M funds, City
Traffic Impact Fees, as well as other public and
private sources.
As part of DisneylandForward, which amends
The Disneyland Resort Project, previously
contemplated extensions of Gene Autry Way
east of Harbor Boulevard to Haster Street and
Clementine Street from Katella Avenue to
Orangewood Avenue were removed to allow for
application and buildout of the DRSP Southeast
District and the TP East Overlay. From Haster
Street, the existing Gene Autry Way connects to
the I-5 high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes and
the Platinum Triangle.
Exhibit 4.1-1 (Vehicular Circulation Plan) shows
the existing circulation system as well as planned
improvements to the existing system described in
the preceding paragraphs. The Transportation
and Traffic Sections of SEIR No. 340 and SEIR
No. 352 also contain detailed information on the
existing circulation system.

4.2 Regional Infrastructure
Programs
The Anaheim Resort is located in an area that
has been served by public utilities and facilities
for many years. As part of ongoing efforts to
improve the City's infrastructure, new facilities
have been installed within the ARSP area, are
currently planned, or are underway. Some of
these (such as improvements to the regional
sewage treatment facilities) are planned to
proceed regardless of the activity in the ARSP
area. Among the projects currently proposed are:
• Enlargement of sewers, or parallel lines to
handle increased flows;
• A new water transmission main and a new
water well to supply increased demand;
• Construction of a new electrical substation
facility;
• Upgrades to existing and construction of new
storm drain facilities; and
• New larger water mains (16” in Harbor Blvd.
from Orangewood Ave. to Chapman Ave.)
and a new well to supply increased demand.
These projects are discussed in greater detail in
SEIR No. 340.
4.3 Vehicular Circulation Plan for
the Anaheim Resort
Convenient automobile access to The Anaheim
Resort is an essential component to the success
of the area. Most visitors will come to The
Anaheim Resort by automobile or bus, and it is
especially important that the visitors' experience
be pleasant upon both arrival and departure.
In connection with The Disneyland Resort,
several improvements to the area wide
circulation system have been implemented.
These improvements are more fully described in
The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan. The
following is a discussion of the circulation
improvements completed or proposed for The
Anaheim Resort including those improvements
completed as part of The Disneyland Resort
Specific Plan.
4.3.1 Connections to Interstate 5 (I-5)
Convenient connections from I-5 to the proposed
public parking facilities in The Disneyland Resort
have been implemented. Approximately 70% of
the visitors to The Disneyland Resort arrive on I5. Moving them on and off I-5 safely and efficiently is accomplished in a variety of ways.
During the early stage of implementation of The
Disneyland Resort Specific Plan, a new mixed
flow off-ramp was constructed at the Disneyland
Drive exit north of Ball Road. This permits
southbound traffic to exit to Disneyland Drive and
then onto a ramp that provides a direct link to the
public parking facility in the West Parking Area of
The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Parking
District.
When the traffic leaving the parking facilities in
The Disneyland Resort exceeds the traffic
entering these facilities, the lanes leading into the
parking facilities and crossing over Ball Road are
reversed, permitting visitors to exit conveniently
onto I-5. Generally, the lanes are used for
inbound traffic in the morning and for outbound
traffic in the afternoon and evening. Use of the
interchange by those not visiting The Disneyland
Resort and/or not in a HOV, have also been
accommodated.
A similar system permits visitors arriving from the
south to exit the HOV lane on a ramp that travels
under the elevated portion of I-5 directly to
Disney Way and provides convenient access to
uses located in the east part of the ARSP area.
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 4.0 Public Facilities Plan DRAFT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW (SEPT 2023)
4-4
This system keeps The Anaheim Resort traffic
from congesting traffic on Katella Avenue.
Existing access patterns to surrounding
properties have generally been maintained,
except that West Street was made into a cul-desac south of Ball Road and renamed West Place.
In addition, Cerritos Avenue has been relocated
approximately 1,000 feet north of its previous
location. The relocated street section is named
Magic Way and was constructed when West
Street was realigned south of Ball Road.
4.4 Anaheim Resort Arterial/
Secondary System
One of the important objectives of the ARSP is to
minimize traffic impacts on surrounding arterial
and secondary streets. The system of
connections to I-5 that lead conveniently to area
uses contributes significantly to this objective. In
addition, improvements that have been
completed since the 1994 adoption of the ARSP
or are proposed to be made to the local streets
will enhance the overall vehicular circulation
within The Anaheim Resort. The street cross
sections described in this Section are typical midblock sections. They are not intended to depict every condition which may exist in the ARSP
area. Additionally, more detailed information
about street rights-of-way can be found in the
Design Plan. They are subject to variation at
intersections and at other locations as
determined by the City Engineer.
Exhibit 4.1-1 (Vehicular Circulation Plan) shows
the location of the major roads and streets within
the ARSP area. The specific improvements
proposed for each street are discussed on the
following pages. Exhibit 4.4-1 (Cross Section
Street Segments) depicts the segments of the
designated road cross sections, which
correspond to the proposed improvements
described for the following major roads and
streets:
• Disneyland Drive (Exhibits 4.4-1 and 4.4-2);
• West Street (Exhibit 4.4-3);
• West Place (Exhibit 4.4-4);
• Disney Way (Exhibit 4.4-5);
• Katella Avenue (Exhibits 4.4-6 to 4.4-7);

Disneyland Drive between I-5 and Katella
Avenue serves both The Disneyland Resort and
uses within the ARSP area such as the Anaheim
Convention Center.
Disneyland Drive is connected to I-5 with an
interchange. Between I-5 and Ball Road,
Disneyland Drive accommodates traffic arriving
or departing from The Anaheim Resort, including
the public parking facilities in The Disneyland
Resort, the Anaheim Convention Center and
area hotels. Exhibit 4.4-1 (Disneyland Drive
(North of Ball Road) Cross Section), shows the
typical right-of-way, parkways, sidewalks and
travel lanes for this portion of Disneyland Drive.

At Ball Road, traffic on Disneyland Drive may
either go over Ball Road directly to and from The
Disneyland Resort parking facilities via a two
lane overpass with reversible lanes or through
the Ball Road intersection. Traffic bound for other
destinations has full access to Ball Road. South
of the Ball Road intersection, Disneyland Drive
has two basic cross section conditions.
The first cross section is described and depicted
in The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan and
applies to the portion of Disneyland Drive located
south of Ball Road up to the entry to The
Disneyland Resort parking facilities.
The second cross-section applies to the portion
of Disneyland Drive located south of The
Disneyland Resort parking facilities to Katella
Avenue. This cross-section is depicted in Exhibit
4.4-2 (Disneyland Drive (Between 825 feet n/o

provides access to hotels and other uses within
The Anaheim Resort. The cross-section depicts
two northbound and two southbound lanes of
traffic separated by a raised landscaped median.
Right and left-turn lanes have been installed in
some locations to improve traffic flow.

Harbor Boulevard has two to three travel lanes in
each direction, except at Anaheim Boulevard
and Clementine Street where the street has been
widened to provide supplemental turning lanes.
Classified as a Primary Arterial, Disney Way
serves the traffic entering and leaving the east
portion of The Anaheim Resort and the public
parking facility located in the Parking Overlay and
the East Parking Area of The Disneyland Resort
Specific Plan. The portion of Disney Way west of
Clementine Street is described in The Disneyland
Resort Specific Plan. East of Clementine Street,
a landscaped median will ultimately be
constructed, as illustrated in Exhibit 4.4-6 (Disney
Way (East of Clementine Street) Cross Section).
Concurrent with the adoption of Amendment No.
17 (DisneylandForward) to the Specific Plan, the
City adopted a General Plan Amendment which
reclassified Disney Way between Anaheim
Boulevard and Harbor Boulevard from a six-lane
Major Arterial to a four-lane Primary Arterial (with
no change to the width of the ultimate public
right-of-way). This allows Disney Way to be
reduced from three to two through travel lanes
between Anaheim Boulevard and Harbor
Boulevard.
As part of DisneylandForward, the eastbound
travel lanes for Disney Way east of Clementine
Street will be modified to provide an exit
ramp/flyover from the public parking facility
located within the East Parking Area of the
Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Parking District.
With the approval of DisneylandForward, the
following roadway improvements associated with
the East Parking Facility within the Disneyland
Resort Specific Plan will occur within the ARSP:
• Reconfiguration of Disney Way/Clementine
Street to accommodate the East Parking
Area parking facility exit ramp/flyover;
• Disney Way/Clementine Street intersection
improvements to accommodate the East
Parking Area parking facility exit ramp;
• Reconfiguration of the west side of
Manchester Avenue, north of Disney Way to
accommodate a Class I bicycle facility.

Clementine Street serves two lanes of travel in
each direction and is 87 feet to accommodate a
landscaped median. Concurrent with the
adoption of Amendment No. 17
(DisneylandForward) to the ARSP, the City
adopted a General Plan Amendment to remove
the planned future extension of Clementine
Street between Katella Avenue and Orangewood
Avenue in the south.
Prior to DisneylandForward, the Disneyland
Resort Specific Plan contemplated transit
improvements within the median for the segment
of Clementine Street between Disney Way and
Katella Avenue. As transit improvements within
the median are not contemplated as part of
DisneylandForward, all improvements to this
street were completed prior to
DisneylandForward. All street improvements to
this street were completed prior to Phase IV, with
the exception of potential future transit
improvements (i.e., bus or other improvements)
as approved by the City.
As part of Amendment No. 17
(DisneylandForward) to the ARSP, improvements
to Clementine Street will include the replacement
of the existing sidewalk on the west side of
Clementine Street between Disney Way and Alro
Way with a multi-use Class I bicycle facility. The
adjacent property owner(s) will dedicate the
required property to the City to allow for the
minimum, adequate horizontal width for the multiuse Class I bicycle facility. Improvements associated with DisneylandForward may also
include a traffic signal at Arlo Way. The timing for
installation of these improvements is identified in
Mitigation Monitoring Plan No. 387, associated
with DisneylandForward.

4.5 Transit Plans
To minimize automobile traffic on local streets,
existing and proposed transit systems will service
uses within the ARSP area. The main component
of the existing system is the Orange County
Transit Authority (OCTA) bus service to the
ARSP area. Current bus routes are located on
Harbor Boulevard, Katella Avenue and Ball
Road, and provide regular service to The
Anaheim Resort.
4.5.1 The Disneyland Resort
The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan transports
theme park visitors to the theme parks from
public day-use parking facilities via pedestrian
walkways, buses, tram services and monorail.
These existing services could be expanded in the
future to provide additional transit improvements.
4.5.2 East-West Transit Connection
An East-West Transit Connection is
contemplated to connect The Anaheim Resort
and the Anaheim Regional Transportation
Intermodal Center (ARTIC).
4.5.3 HOV Lane System
OCTA and Caltrans have developed a plan to
construct a countywide system of transit ways
and commuter HOV lanes in freeway corridors.
These facilities will be used by regional 'express'
buses, regular intercity buses, shuttle buses,
vanpools, and carpools. Buses and other HOVs
would access or egress these facilities at
exclusive HOV ramps to streets or at designated
at-grade merge locations along freeways.
HOV lanes have been constructed on I-5, State
Route (SR) 57, and SR 22, with a direct HOV
connection between SR-57 and I-5. The HOV
interchange at Gene Autry Way allows access to
and from areas east and west of I-5, including
The Anaheim Resort and Angel Stadium of
Anaheim. As part of a long-term project,
exclusive HOV ramps have been identified at
Cerritos Avenue on the SR-57.
4.5.4 Bus Service
OCTA and Anaheim Transportation
Network/Anaheim Resort Transit provide bus
service to and within The Anaheim Resort.
4.5.5 Intercity Commuter Rail Service
Amtrak and Metrolink provide train service to The
Anaheim Resort via stations in Fullerton and
Anaheim.

4.6 Pedestrian Circulation Plans
An increase in the number of hotel rooms and the
development of new attractions will increase
pedestrian activity in The Anaheim Resort. This
will enhance the urban character of the area and
will require that facilities be enhanced to meet the
needs of these pedestrians.
Exhibit 4.6-1 (Proposed Pedestrian Circulation)
illustrates the pedestrian circulation system within
the ARSP area and the surrounding areas. On
this plan, public pedestrian routes have been
identified. The primary destinations of
pedestrians within The Anaheim Resort will
include:
• Hotels, restaurants and other businesses in
The Anaheim Resort;
• The Anaheim Convention Center;
• The existing Disneyland theme park, Disney’s
California Adventure theme park, as
described in The Disneyland Resort Specific
Plan and in the Theme Park (TP) East and
West Overlays of the ARSP area; and
• The East and West Parking Areas of The
Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Parking
District.
Exhibit 4.6-2 (Pedestrian and Vehicular Access
Points) depicts the pedestrian and vehicular
access points, associated with
DisneylandForward, within the ARSP Theme
Park East and Parking Overlays. This exhibit
also describes the locations of existing and
potential bridges. Areas where pedestrian
bridges may be installed serve as a key
connector over public street rights-of-way,
connecting users from one side of the street to
the other without having to impede traffic flow.
Pedestrian bridges were constructed over
Disneyland Drive and Magic Way in the DRSP.
Up to two additional pedestrian bridges or
crossings will be constructed over Disneyland
Drive as part of DisneylandForward. At least one
and up to three pedestrian bridges will be
constructed over Harbor Boulevard, at least one
of which will be constructed in conjunction with
construction of a parking facility within the
Parking Overlay and/or the DRSP East Parking
Area. Exhibit 4.6-2 (Pedestrian and Vehicular
Access Points) also describes the potential future
pedestrian bridge over Katella Avenue
connecting the DRSP Theme Park District to the
PR District. Any pedestrian bridges constructed
over public right-of-way will be required to obtain
an encroachment license from the City.

4.7 Water
The City of Anaheim Public Utilities Department
provides water to the ARSP area. Its sources
include both wells to tap groundwater resources,
and water purchased from the Metropolitan
Water District. Based on preliminary estimates,
the average additional daily water consumption
for The Anaheim Resort will be about 7 million
gallons (including The Disneyland Resort).
The existing water supply system consists of
numerous water lines that surround or traverse
the ARSP area. Modification of this system is
necessary to provide water at the pressures and
in the quantities needed to supply the ARSP
area. The following is a list of the improvements
that have been made to the water distribution
system to support implementation of the ARSP.
• Replacement of the 8-inch pipe in Clementine
Street from Katella Avenue to Disney Way
with a 20-inch pipe;
• Replacement of the existing 10-inch pipe in
Disney Way from Clementine Street to
Harbor Boulevard with a 20-inch pipe;
• Installation of a new well (Well 55) near the
intersection of Clementine Street and Disney
Way;
• Replacement of the existing 10-inch pipe in
Harbor Boulevard from Convention Way to
Disney Way with a 20-inch pipe;
• Replacement of the existing 10-inch pipe in
Harbor Boulevard from Disney Way to Harbor
Boulevard north of Manchester Avenue with a
16-inch pipe;
• Replacement of the existing 12-inch pipe in
Katella Avenue from Harbor Boulevard to
Clementine Street with a 20-inch pipe; and,
• Replacement of the existing 12-inch and 14-
inch pipes in West Street/Disneyland Drive
from Ball Road to Katella Avenue with a 20-
inch pipe.
The following additional improvements to the
water distribution system will be made as part of
the on-going implementation of the ARSP.
• Installation of a 16-inch pipe in Harbor
Boulevard from Orangewood Avenue to
Chapman Avenue; and,
• Provision for a new well to be constructed
near the intersection of Haster Street and
Orangewood Avenue.
Additional information about water use, supply
and improvements is provided in SEIR No. 340. If
any analyses or conditions above demonstrate
that improvements are necessary, those
improvements would be regulated by Anaheim’s
Water Rates, Rules and Regulations, Water
Services Administrative Procedures and Design
Guidelines (APDG), and Water Services
Standard Specifications (WSSS). The cost of all
Main Extensions, Main Enlargements,
abandonments, relocations, and easements
documents are the responsibility of the owner or
developer of the properties served by these
mains in accordance with Rule 15A.
Water conservation is an important part of the
Plan and will be achieved through numerous
measures intended to reduce water consumption.
Among the measures to be implemented within
the ARSP area to the extent applicable, include,
but are not limited to, the following:
• Low-flow sprinkler heads in irrigation
systems;
• Waterway recirculation systems;
• Low-flow fittings, fixtures, and equipment,
including low flush toilets and urinals;
• Efficient irrigation systems such as drip
irrigation, low flow irrigation heads, automatic
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 4.0 Public Facilities Plan DRAFT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW (SEPT 2023)
4-23
irrigation scheduling equipment, flow sensing
controls, rain sensors, soil moisture sensors
and other water conserving equipment;
• Low-flow shower heads in hotels;
• Water efficient ice-machines, dishwashers,
clothes washers and other water-using
appliances;
• Irrigation systems used primarily at night
when evaporation rates are lowest;
• Provision of information to the public in
conspicuous places regarding water
conservation;
• Water conserving landscape plant materials;
wherever feasible; and,
• Construction of separate irrigation lines and
implementation of recycled water when it
becomes available.
In addition to these measures, development in
the ARSP area will comply with Chapter 10.18
(Water Conservation and Water Shortage
Contingency Rules and Regulations) and chapter
10.19 (Landscape Water Efficiency Ordinance) of
Title 10 Anaheim Municipal Code, and Guidelines
for Implementation of the City of Anaheim
Landscape Water Efficiency Ordinance.

4.8 Sanitary Sewer
The ARSP area is served by local sewer lines
owned and maintained by the City of Anaheim.
Wastewater in the local sewer lines generally
flows south and then west to the Orange County
Sanitation District (OCSAN) sewer trunks.
Wastewater from the ARSP area is conveyed
through City and OCSAN sewer trunks and
interceptors to the OCSAN Treatment Plant No. 1
in Fountain Valley.
The Central Anaheim Master Plan of Sanitary
Sewers (adopted by Anaheim City Council on
January 9, 2018, by Resolution No. 2018-001)
analyzed sewer system capacity in the ARSP
area. This plan identified the new regional sewer
lines to be constructed specifically for continued
buildout development within the ARSP area. As
specific projects with detailed information on
precise location, project statistics, and precise
sewer loading become available, sewer studies
may be required to determine if additional local
improvements are required.

25 4.9 Storm Drain
Storm water from the northern portion of the
ARSP area will flow west in new or existing
underground storm drains to the Anaheim-Barber
Channel, located several hundred feet west of,
and parallel to Walnut Street as identified in the
Master Plan of Storm Drainage for Anaheim
Barber City Channel Tributary Area June 2009
(adopted by Anaheim City Council on October
27, 2009 by Resolution No. 2009-163). Storm
water from the southern portion of the ARSP
area will flow south to the East Garden GroveWintersburg Channel as identified in the Master Plan of Storm Drainage for East Garden Grove
Wintersburg Channel Tributary Area January
2006 (adopted by Anaheim City Council on
March 7, 2006 by Resolution No. 2006-029).
Eventually, the storm water from the entire ARSP
area empties into the ocean at Huntington
Harbor.
The following is a list of the planned facilities to
be constructed to handle the storm water flows
from the ARSP area:
• A relief drain in Harbor Boulevard, Vermont
Avenue and East Street;
• An upgrade drain in Ball Road;
• A parallel or relief drain in Cerritos Avenue,
Walnut Street and Magic Way;
• An upgrade or parallel storm drain in Katella
Avenue and an upgrade drain and new storm
drain line north of it in Anaheim Boulevard;
• An upgrade drain in Manchester Avenue;
• New storm drain lines in Guinida Lane, Palm
Street and Winston Road;
• A parallel or upgrade drain in Orangewood
Avenue, Harbor Boulevard and Wilken Way;
• A relief drain in Haster Street and Gene Autry
Way.
• A parallel or upgrade drain in Hotel Way
All new development and/or redevelopment
projects shall participate in the City's Master Plan
of Drainage and related Infrastructure
Improvement (Fee) Programs to assist in
mitigating storm drainage system deficiencies as
described in SEIR No. 340.
With approval of DisneylandForward, the
following additional storm drain improvements
will be required:
• With development of the Southeast
District of The Disneyland Resort Specific
Plan and the Theme Park East Overlay,
connections to the existing storm drains in
surrounding streets would be required;
and,
• Disney will continue to comply with the
Master Water Quality Management Plan,
which applies to all Disney Properties in
The Anaheim Resort.

4.10 Electricity
Electricity for the ARSP area is provided by the
City of Anaheim Public Utilities Department.
Electric utilities are installed underground in
accordance with City Electrical Construction
Standards, the Electric Rates, Rules and
Regulations, and the Development Standards
and Guidelines for The Anaheim Resort. Full
implementation of the ARSP will increase the
demand for electricity by approximately 291.7
million kilowatt hours annually and an estimated
799,344 kilowatt hours on an average day. The
estimated net increase in electrical demand
associated with implementation of the ARSP
area is 110.5 million volt amperes. The load
could be higher if theme park uses are moved
from the DRSP Theme Park District to the ARSP
Theme Park East and West Overlays.
As part of an existing City of Anaheim Capital
Improvement Program, the existing overhead
electric utilities on Katella Avenue, West Street/
Disneyland Drive, and Harbor Boulevard were
placed underground. The undergrounding was
completed prior to or at the same time that the
area street improvements were completed. New
lines constructed to serve the area will also be
placed underground.
A new substation facility was constructed at the
northeast corner of Katella Avenue and Zeyn
Street in November 2019.
In order to conserve energy, the owner or
developer shall implement energy saving
practices which may include the following:
• High-efficiency air-conditioning with EMS
(computer) control;
• Variable air volume (VAV) distribution
• Outside air (100%) economizer cycle;
• Staged compressors or variable speed drives
to flow varying thermal loads;
• Isolated HVAC zone control by
floors/separable activity areas;
• Specification of premium-efficiency electric
motors (i.e., compressor motors, air-handling
units, and fan-coil units);
• Use of occupancy sensors in appropriate
spaces;
• Use of compact fluorescent lamps;
• Use of cold cathode fluorescent lamps;
• Use of light emitting diode (LED) or
equivalent energy-efficient lighting for outdoor
lighting;
• Use of Energy Star® exit lighting or exit
signage;
• Use of T-8 lamps and electronic ballasts
where applications of standard fluorescent
fixtures are identified;
• Use of lighting power controllers in
association with metal-halide or highpressure sodium (high intensity discharge) lamps for outdoor lighting and parking lots;
• Consideration of thermal energy storage airconditioning for spaces or facilities that may require air-conditioning during summer, daypeak periods; • For swimming pools and spas, incorporate
solar heating, automatic covers, and efficient
pumps and motors, as feasible; and,
• Participation in energy efficiency incentive
programs.
The Public Utilities Department will coordinate
with property owners and developers to
incorporate feasible renewable energy
generation measures, including but not be limited
to the use of solar and small wind turbine
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 4.0 Public Facilities Plan DRAFT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW (SEPT 2023)
4-27
sources on new and existing facilities and the
use of solar powered lighting in parking areas. In
addition, new building construction will be
required to exceed Title 24 Energy Efficiency
Standards for Residential and Nonresidential
Buildings at the time of building permit
application by at least 10 percent.
4.11 Natural Gas
Natural gas for the ARSP area will be delivered
by Southern California Gas Company, which
maintains both standard and high pressure gas
lines in the vicinity of the ARSP area. Wherever
practical, development within the ARSP area will
be required to incorporate energy-saving means
into the project to reduce consumption of natural
gas. In addition, many of the energy conservation
measures described in Section 4.10 above will
also result in natural gas savings.
4.12 Telephone Services
AT&T provides telephone, digital cable, and highspeed internet services to the ARSP area.
Existing facilities are located in the developed
areas surrounding the ARSP area. The
infrastructure capacity for telephone service
typically expands with new development.
4.13 Television/Cable Service
Time Warner Cable currently provides both fiber
and coaxial feeds in the ARSP area for a variety
of services including, but not limited to, standard
and high definition cable television service, PRI
T1 telephony circuit(s), cable television service,
high speed internet, and digital telephone
service.
4.14 Solid Waste
Solid waste from the ARSP area will be collected
by a City contracted disposal company. Collected
waste is processed through Republic Waste
Services of Southern California LLC’s Regional
Material Resource Recovery Facility (MRF). The
facility contains an 800-foot-long automated and
manual sorter/conveyor system that separates
more than 70 types of recyclables. Remaining
non-recyclable waste is processed and
consolidated before delivery to the Brea-Olinda
Alpha landfill in unincorporated Orange County
adjacent to the City of Brea. In addition to the
processing of collected waste at the MRF for
recyclable materials, one or more solid waste
reduction programs may be required of new
development, including but not limited to:
• Facilitating recycling by providing chutes or
convenient locations for sorting and recycling
bins;
• Facilitating cardboard recycling (especially in
retail areas) by providing adequate space
and centralized locations for collection and
storing;
• Facilitating glass recycling (especially from
restaurants) by providing adequate space for
sorting and storing;
• Providing trash compactors for nonrecyclable materials whenever feasible to reduce the total volume of solid waste and
the number of trips required for collection;
• Prohibiting curbside pick-up; and,
• Providing the following on-going practices
during project operations as feasible:
o Use of recycled paper products for
stationery, letterhead, and packaging;
o Recovery of materials such as aluminum
and cardboard;
o Collection of office paper for recycling;
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 4.0 Public Facilities Plan DRAFT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW (SEPT 2023)
4-28
o Collection of polystyrene (foam) cups for
recycling; and
o Collection of glass, plastics, kitchen
grease, laser printer toner cartridges, oil,
batteries, and scrap metal for recycling or
recovery.
Property owners that develop in accordance with
the ARSP will be required to implement a Waste
Management Plan that includes, but is not limited
to:
• Detailing the location and design of on-site
recycling facilities;
• Providing on-site recycling receptacles to
encourage recycling;
• Complying with all Federal, State, County,
and City regulations for hazardous material
disposal; and,
• Participating in the City's “Recycle Anaheim”
program or any additional substitute
programs as developed by the City.
4.15 Public Services
The City Fire Department, in conjunction with the
Utilities Department has set the minimum
standards for water flow for the ARSP area. In
addition, they will review all future development
for compliance with City Fire Department
standards. Typical requirements include the
installation of sprinklers in accordance with the
Anaheim Municipal Code, preparation of
emergency fire access and construction fire
protection plans, provision of adequate access to
structures for fire fighting vehicles and location of
fire hydrants in conveniently accessible locations.
Since continued development in the ARSP area
will increase the number of service calls to the
Fire Department, new development shall be
required to participate in fair share funding of the
following measures intended to improve fire
protection:
• One additional fire truck company;
• One additional paramedic company;
• Modifications to existing fire stations to
accommodate the additional fire units,
additional manpower, equipment and
facilities;
• A vehicle equipped with specialty tools and
equipment to enable the Fire Department to
provide heavy search and rescue response
capability; and,
• A medical triage vehicle/trailer, equipped with
sufficient trauma dressings, medical supplies,
stretchers, etc., to handle 1,000 injured
persons, and an appropriate storage facility.
The Anaheim Fire Department will provide the
following list of services:
• Development Project Meetings;
• Preconstruction Plan Review;
• Preplanning for firefighting and
evacuations;
• All new construction inspections;
• All state mandated CUPA inspections;
• All state mandated and non-state
mandated annual fire inspections;
• Review and inspections of all special
event permits;
• Monitoring of pyrotechnics and special
effects; and,
• Interconnected Safety System (ISS)
Testing.

The Anaheim Police Department provides law
enforcement services to the ARSP area. The
Police Department is divided into four service
districts (Central [Main], South, East, and West)
each containing a police station. The ARSP is
located within the Central District and is served
by the Central Station.
Law enforcement services to be provided by the
Police Department include traffic control and
enforcement, narcotics violations, crime control,
community and tourist regulation, detention
facilities, various investigations, and patrol. The
additional police service personnel needed for
the development of The Anaheim Resort will be
funded through annual tax proceeds and
incremental growth in and around The Anaheim
Resort
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 5.0 Design Plan
DRAFT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW (SEPT 2023)
5-1
5.0 DESIGN PLAN
The Design Plan contains descriptions of the
basic concepts that will help achieve the ARSP's
fundamental goal of creating a unified resort
identity for the ARSP area. Written text in this
Section describes the fundamental design
concepts, while the drawings that accompany the
text show how the concepts will be implemented.
The Design Plan has been coordinated with
several adopted documents that describe design
concepts for the ARSP area. These documents
include The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan,
The Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape
Program, and The Anaheim Resort Identity
Program. In addition, this Section is intended to
supplement the Zoning and Development
Standards contained in Section 7.0, which is
codified as Chapter 18.118 of the Anaheim
Municipal Code.
Since the public streets are the interface between
the ARSP and The Disneyland Resort Specific
Plan, both specific plans describe in detail the
design of the public streets, as well as the
treatment of setback areas adjacent to public
streets. The emphasis in both plans is on
creating unity through landscape design, a
standardized design vocabulary for streetscape
elements (such as light poles and directional
signs), and regulation of private property,
including standards for signs, building heights,
and setbacks.
For ease of reference and to better depict the
relationship between the two specific plans, the
ARSP contains information about the treatment
of all public streets that border or are within the
ARSP area boundaries. As a result, there is an
overlap in the information contained in both
specific plans along the border between the two
areas. For example, the description and
illustrations of the design concept for Harbor
Boulevard appear in both specific plans.
On September 20, 1994, the City Council
adopted Resolution No. 94R-239 approving The
Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape
Program. Subsequent amendments have been
adopted as described in the Program document
on file in the City of Anaheim Planning and
Building Department. The Anaheim Resort Public
Realm Landscape Program summarizes
landscape concepts proposed for the public
streets within The Anaheim Resort and provides
a general overview of the different landscape
treatments that will help create a unifying resort
identity.
The ARSP is also consistent with The Anaheim
Resort Identity Program approved by the City
Council by adoption of Resolution No. 94R-238.
Subsequent amendments have been adopted as
described in the Program document on file in the
City of Anaheim Planning and Building
Department. The Anaheim Resort Identity
Program contains specific recommendations for
the location and design of gateways, directional
signs, banners, light fixtures, street furniture, and
potential pedestrian bridges or crossings for The
Anaheim Resort. Section 5.5, Identity Concept
Plan, of the ARSP summarizes how signs and
other identity elements will help create the unified
environment envisioned for the entire Anaheim
Resort area.
The information in this Section supplements the
Zoning and Development Standards contained in
Section 7.0 in the following ways. First, it
describes the fundamental design ideas and
concepts that are the basis for the standards and
regulations. This description of the basic
concepts will assist in the interpretation of the
intent of the ARSP in situations where several
options may be consistent with the regulations.
Also, it contains design guidelines that would be
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 5.0 Design Plan
DRAFT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW (SEPT 2023)
5-2
considered too general to be standards or
regulations but convey useful information about
the character and quality of development
anticipated within the ARSP area. Finally, this
Section contains sketches, cross-sections and
photos that show what the physical appearance
of important conditions in the ARSP area should
be if the standards, regulations, and guidelines
are implemented in accordance with this section
and Section 7.0. By showing how the two work
together, the intent of the ARSP can be
conveyed in a more comprehensive manner.
In addition to this introduction, this Section is
divided into eight parts, including:
• 5.1 Design Plan Objectives;
• 5.2 Design Concepts;
• 5.3 Landscape Concept Plan;
• 5.4 Landscape Cross Sections;
• 5.5 Identity Concept Plan;
• 5.6 Design Criteria for the Public Realm;
• 5.7 Design Criteria for the Setback Realm;
and,
• 5.8 Design Criteria for the Private Realm.
5.1 Design Plan Objectives
The Design Plan is intended to achieve three
principal design objectives. They are:
• Create visual continuity between the ARSP
area and the adjacent Disneyland Resort
Specific Plan area;
• Create a high quality, visually appealing,
pedestrian-oriented environment;
• Create landscape and design standards and
regulations to reinforce the area's identity;
and,
• Enhance Public Views of the Theme Parks,
including Back-of-House Uses, From Public
Walkways and Streets.
The following are descriptions of each of these
objectives.
5.1.1 Create Visual Continuity between
the ARSP Area and the Adjacent
Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Area
An important objective of the ARSP is to visually
tie the ARSP area to the adjacent Disneyland
Resort Specific Plan area through the consistent
use of landscape and other streetscape elements
including signs, gateways, lights and other
elements. The Anaheim Resort will then have a
more unified identity, and there will be a smooth
transition from the ARSP area and The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Area.
5.1.2 Create a High Quality, Visually
Appealing, Pedestrian-Oriented
Environment
A second design objective is to create a high
quality pedestrian environment that reinforces the
urban character of the ARSP area. With the
development of Disney’s California Adventure
theme park and new theme park attractions
within the ARSP area, construction of the new
public parking facilities in The Disneyland Resort,
and the increase in the number of visitor
accommodations both within The Disneyland
Resort Specific Plan and the ARSP, there will be
a measurable increase in the number of
pedestrians in the area. Anticipated improvement
and expansion of the Anaheim Convention
Center will also contribute significantly to the
increase in pedestrians. This will help support an
active street environment for shopping, dining
and lodging within walking distance from the
theme parks and the Anaheim Convention
Center. The Design Plan addresses the needs of
pedestrians by:
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 5.0 Design Plan
DRAFT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW (SEPT 2023)
5-3
• Establishing the size and location of
pedestrian walks;
• Defining the type of landscape necessary to
create a pedestrian scale; and,
• Providing for other amenities, such as
directional signs, intended to enhance the
overall pedestrian experience.
5.1.3 Create Landscape and Design
Guidelines to Reinforce the Area's
Identity
The Design Plan also provides landscape
guidelines for the setback areas and along the
public streets that pass through the center of the
ARSP area in order to reinforce the overall
consistency of the area's identity. The setback
landscape will also help provide a continuity element in front of existing buildings that have a variety of architectural styles. In addition, the
Design Plan includes design guidelines intended
to support the overall quality of development in
the ARSP area by establishing sound minimum
criteria for private development.
5.1.4 Enhance Public Views of the Theme
Parks, including Back-of-House Uses,
From Public Walkways and Streets.
A fourth design objective is to enhance public
views of theme park uses, from public walkways
and streets through a variety of design
interventions. Leading up to the theme parks,
visitors outside the park utilize public walkways
and streets to access theme park uses. As
visitors make their way to and from theme park
uses, landscaping and walls/fencing are utilized
at the pedestrian level to screen on-site buildings
and structures, enhance the visual experience,
and add to the sense of anticipation and arrival.
Buildings and structures are treated with varying
design elements based on height and visibility
from public walkways and streets in order to
enhance the experience of visitors outside of and
leading up to the theme park uses.
5.2 Design Concepts
The concepts described below are the basic
design policies for the ARSP area and form the
basis for implementation of the Design Plan.
They address the objectives of the Design Plan
described in Section 5.1, Design Plan Objectives,
and include a description of the important site
factors that will affect implementation of the
design concepts.
5.2.1 Transform and Unify with
Landscape
The primary concept of the Design Plan is to
transform the visual character of The Anaheim
Resort with landscape. The primary component
of this transformation will be the streetscape,
which includes trees and shrubs, as well as manmade elements such as light fixtures, benches, entry gateways, and signs. Setback areas on
private land between the public street and
buildings are also important in this
transformation. In some instances, the visible
portions of buildings and private land behind the
setbacks will also play a role in defining the
character of the ARSP area.
5.2.2 Create a District with a Grand Scale
The Anaheim Resort encompasses
approximately 1,078 acres, a large urban area in
which to create a unified identity. In addition,
many of the streets within The Anaheim Resort
are wide and provide important regional
circulation linkages. Finally, the number of
visitors to the area is flexibility significant and will grow with development of the Anaheim Resort
and The Disneyland Resort Specific Plans.
Consequently, the character of The Anaheim
Resort as a whole must be grand in scale to
complement the size and importance of the area
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 5.0 Design Plan
DRAFT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW (SEPT 2023)
5-4
as a world-class destination resort. The Design
Plan proposes creating a grand scale primarily
with large-scale landscape plantings and
architectural regulations, including building
heights and setbacks.
5.2.3 Emphasize Landscaping on Public
Streets
Most visitors to the ARSP area and the adjacent
Disneyland Resort Specific Plan area will
experience the area's streets at some time during
their visit, either from automobiles, other vehicles
(such as the pedestrian and/or transportation
system(s) or monorail discussed in The
Disneyland Resort Specific Plan), or on foot.
Nearly all of the publicly-owned land within both
areas is contained within the street rights-of-way
(or in easements), though the space available for
landscaping within the public right-of-way will be
somewhat limited because of the need to serve
vehicle and pedestrian circulation.
Streets and their edges furnish the primary space
in which landscaping can be placed to transform
the identity of The Anaheim Resort. Where new
rights-of-way are being created, sufficient space
will be provided within the right-of-way to
accommodate the proposed landscape.
Exhibit 5.2-1 Utilize the Streets for
Landscaping
5.2.4 Orient Visitors Visually
Visitors to the ARSP area and the adjacent
Disneyland Resort Specific Plan area often come
from great distances and lack familiarity with
Anaheim and The Anaheim Resort. These
visitors need well-defined visual cues that orient
them to their location within the area. In addition,
there is great variety in the different uses and
functions of the spaces within the ARSP area,
and the scale of the spaces often varies as well.
The Design Plan differentiates the major streets
within the ARSP area by establishing landscape
treatments that will help create a unique
character for each.
5.2.5 Create a Recognizable Center for
the Anaheim Resort
In coordination with The Disneyland Resort
Specific Plan, the Design Plan establishes an
area known as the Central Core, which will have
special design standards. It includes parcels
located on Harbor Boulevard between Interstate
5 and Orangewood Avenue, and on Katella
Avenue between Interstate 5 and Walnut Street.
For parcels adjacent to Harbor Boulevard and to
Katella Avenue, special design standards will
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 5.0 Design Plan
DRAFT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW (SEPT 2023)
5-5
apply to setbacks and streetscape treatments
that are different from other locations in The
Anaheim Resort.
5.2.6 Coordinate Streetscape
Improvements with Other Improvements
The construction of the streetscape
improvements in the ARSP area will be
coordinated to the extent feasible with public and
private improvements, such as the
undergrounding of utilities. The intent is to install
public streetscape improvements as soon as
possible, while minimizing the need to disrupt
these improvements once they have been
installed.
5.2.7 Establish a Clear Design Hierarchy
The ARSP specifies three distinct levels of
design hierarchy called the Public Realm, the
Setback Realm, and the Private Realm. The
intent is that the most visually prominent areas
have the most rigorous design controls, and that
the design of less visually prominent areas be
more flexible.
Exhibit 5.2-2 The Three Elements of the
Design Hierarchy: The Public Realm, The
Setback Realm, and the Private Realm
Setback
Realm
Private
Realm
Public
Realm
Ultimate Public
Right-of-Way
Building
Setback
Buildable
Portion
Buiding
Envelope
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 Public Realm concepts
for the entire Anaheim Resort area are regulated
by The Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape
Plan. The Setback and Private Realm concepts
are regulated for the respective specific plan
areas by the Anaheim Resort and Disneyland
Resort Specific Plans. The Setback Realm
includes the private property between the
ultimate right-of way and the required minimum
building setback. Since these areas are not quite
as significant to the overall character of the
ARSP area as the Public Realm, the plan
provides for more flexibility in their design. The
Private Realm, which includes areas behind
building setbacks adjacent to public streets, is
guided by design criteria that are the most
flexible of the three realms, but still contain
important design guidelines intended to enhance
the overall identity of the ARSP area.
Development of the Private Realm will occur with
less predictability than the other Realms, and so
less specificity is provided in the design
guidelines. Additional discussion of the three
Realms can be found in Subsections 5.6, 5.7,
and 5.8.
5.3 Landscape Concept Plan
This section of the Design Plan describes the
landscape design principles for the ARSP area
that will contribute to the unified environment
envisioned by the Plan. It contains a description
of the basic landscape concepts, criteria for the
selection of plant material, and general planting
design guidelines for the public streets and
adjacent setbacks, which the Plan calls the
Public Realm and the Setback Realm. The
Landscape Concept Diagram (Exhibit 3.9-1 of
The Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape
Program) shows how the principles have been
applied to the important streets in The Anaheim
Resort. Section 5.4, Landscape Cross Sections,
illustrates the basic landscape design principles.
The adopted Anaheim Resort Public Realm and
Landscape Program and Anaheim Resort Identity

DRAFT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW (SEPT 2023)
5-6
Program regulate the Public Realm within The
Anaheim Resort.
The landscape design drawings, photos and
landscape cross sections found in this Section
and Section 5.4, Landscape Cross Sections,
illustrate basic landscape design concepts, and,
unless needed to illustrate a concept described in
the text, do not contain dimensions or other
detailed information about street right-of-way
widths or minimum setback dimensions. Information about street rights-of way and minimum setbacks can be found in Section 4.3, Vehicular
Circulation Plan, and Section 7.0, Zoning and
Development Standards, respectively.
5.3.1 Plant Material Selection and Use
The purpose of this subsection is to:
• Describe the basic plant selection criteria for
the plants that will be used in the ARSP area;
• Describe the role each type of plant (tree,
shrub, ground cover) will play in establishing
the overall character of the ARSP area; and,
• Identify in a general way where and how each
type will be used.
The information in this subsection is
supplemented by a detailed plant palette in
Planning Standard Detail No. 10, which contains
a list of plants recommended for use in the ARSP
area. The purpose here is to provide the rationale
that serves as the basis for the plant palette.
5.3.1.1 Basic Selection Criteria
The desirable attributes of plants to be used in
the ARSP area include:
• Climate appropriate;
• Drought tolerant and/or low water using;
• Reasonably low in maintenance;
• Relatively free from disease and pest
infestation,
• Outstanding in some characteristic, such as
form, color, bark, etc.;
• Unlikely to be familiar outside subtropical
areas;
• Evergreen;
• Native to Southern California;
• Moderate or fast in growth; and,
• Suitable for use around people.
The intent is to establish an overall appearance
that has connection to Southern Californian
character while also integrating plants that are
climate-appropriate and/or low water using.
There is virtually no list of plants that could be
developed that would completely satisfy all of
these conditions. The intent is to provide a list
from which plants can be selected that will
provide the best plants to respond to the needs
of different uses/functions in the ARSP area, as
well as the flexibility to be used in a variety of
different situations.
5.3.1.2 Tree Selection and Use Criteria
Trees will be the backbone plant material of the
planting design because of the size and
widespread presence in the street rights-of-way
and setback areas. The following describes the
different types of tree forms that will be used
throughout the ARSP area, and the criteria that
will be used to determine how they will be used.
Small canopy trees: Small canopy trees are
intended for use where it is desirable to create a
more intimate scale (such as along narrow
streets or in pedestrian areas), where a contrast
with a larger tree will help reinforce the layered
landscape concept, or to contrast with a tree with
a distinctly different form. On wide streets where
the separation between trees from one side of
the street to another (or from a parkway to a
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 5.0 Design Plan
DRAFT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW (SEPT 2023)
5-7
median planting) is thirty feet or greater, small
canopy trees should always be combined with
medium or large canopy trees.
Small canopy trees will have a mature height of
at least twenty feet, but not more than forty feet.
Their mature spread will be approximately equal
to their height. Along streets with regularly
spaced trees, small canopy trees will be planted
at a rate of one tree for each twenty to thirty
lineal feet of frontage; spreading trees may
require a somewhat wider spacing.
Medium canopy trees: Medium canopy trees
may serve the same purposes as either the large
or small canopy trees. Typically, they will have a
mature height of at least thirty feet but will not
typically exceed sixty feet. Their mature spread
will approximately equal their height. Along
streets with regularly spaced trees, medium
canopy trees will be planted at a rate of one tree
for each twenty-five to thirty-five lineal feet of
frontage; spreading trees may require a
somewhat wider spacing. Medium canopy trees
may be used on local or secondary streets but
should not be used alone on arterial roads or
other streets greater than sixty feet wide unless
there is a landscaped median.
Exhibit 5.3-1 Medium Canopy Trees
Large canopy trees: Large canopy trees will be
used on arterial roads to help reinforce the grand,
civic scale of The Anaheim Resort landscape.
They are intended to be large scale elements
that create a strong, positive visual impression.
Their mature height will not be less than fifty feet
and may exceed eighty feet. For the smaller
trees in this category, the spread will
approximately equal the mature height, while in
larger trees the spread will typically be 50% to
75% of the height. Along streets with regularly
spaced trees, large canopy trees will be planted
at a rate of one tree for each thirty to forty lineal
feet of frontage; spreading trees may require a
somewhat wider spacing. Large canopy trees
may also be used in setback areas that exceed
twenty feet in width and may be planted in
masses.
Exhibit 5.3-2 Large Canopy Trees
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 5.0 Design Plan
DRAFT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW (SEPT 2023)
5-8
Vertical and Pyramidal trees: Vertical trees
have a mature height that dramatically exceeds
their mature width. Vertical trees will have a ratio
of height to width not less than 4:1, but which
may (in the case of certain varieties of palm)
exceed 20:1. Vertical trees will range in height
from 30 to 100 feet when mature. The spacing of
vertical trees will typically be from eight feet to
thirty feet on center for streets on which they are
regularly spaced, depending on the ultimate size
and spread of the specific tree. When the primary
purpose is screening, vertical trees will be
evergreen and will be spaced so that the mature
trees form a dense visual barrier. When used in
the Public Realm, vertical trees will generally be
used in combination with canopy trees, especially
areas with pedestrians, who will need canopy
trees to provide shade. Vertical trees are
especially useful in narrow setback areas as a
contrast with lower growing canopy trees or
shrubs to create the layered landscape.
Vertical and pyramidal trees are intended to
serve a variety of purposes. Among these are:
• Screening views of adjacent uses or property;
• Establishing regular, easily recognizable
geometric patterns; and,
• Providing a dramatic vertical expression that
stands out from the surrounding landscape.
Pyramidal trees have a characteristic shape like
a pyramid, and benefit from having space that
permits their lower branches to touch the ground.
Many needle-leafed evergreens, such as pine
and cedar trees, belong to this category.
Pyramidal trees will be used as screens, as
large-scale backdrop, in formal rows within
setbacks, or, where space permits, as large
specimens.

5.3.1.3 Shrub, Vine and Ground Cover
Selection and Use Criteria
This subsection explains the role that will be
played by shrubs, vines and ground cover to
support the basic design established by the
trees.
Shrubs: Shrubs will serve several main design
purposes to reinforce the basic landscape plan,
including the following:
• Screen views of surface parking lots, service
areas, trash enclosures, and other sights that
detract from the garden-like character
envisioned for the area, or to provide privacy
for pool areas, outdoor eating areas, and
patios associated with ground floor hotel
rooms;
• Providing a physical barrier to discourage
pedestrians from crossing streets mid-block,
or to direct pedestrian and vehicular traffic;
and,
• Introducing an intermediate to low layer within
a layered landscape.

Exhibit 5.3-4 Use of Shrubs to Screen
Surface Parking Lots
A large range of shrub species with varying
heights will be utilized to create an identity and
diversity within the planting palette in order to not
be dominated by a single species. Shrubs will
often appear as either loose (unclipped) or formal
(clipped) hedges of consistent height. Shrubs
that are very low growing (less than two feet tall),
and that spread widely will be used as a ground
cover, while shrubs that grow taller (up to fifteen
feet) will be used for screening.
Exhibit 5.3-5 Formal (Clipped) Hedges
Vary in Height
Vines: Vines will be used for the following main
purposes:
• Creating a cloak to cover walls and buildings.
For example, clinging vines will be used on
parking facilities, buildings and walls to
enhance building elevations, and will help
discourage graffiti;
• Creating vertical and hanging gardens. Vines
will be trained to the trunks of palms in order
to enhance their appearance at the
pedestrian level and will be used in planters
on parking facilities or other buildings. Vines
will also be used on garden structures such
as arbors and trellises, especially where
limited planting area precludes a more
traditional planting of trees and shrubs; and,
• Establishing a sprawling ground cover in
large areas where the vine's growth can be
contained in the available space.
Ground Cover: In addition to spreading, low
growing shrubs and sprawling vines, ground
covers include turf and other grasses, low
growing annuals, and other varieties of plants
that do not generally exceed two or three feet in
height at maturity. Large areas of landscape will
be planted with low water-using ground covers in
order to reduce water usage and long-term
maintenance costs. The use of turf as a ground
cover will be limited to particular areas where its
smooth, green, manicured appearance and
ability to accommodate light pedestrian traffic is
needed. Generally, ground covers will be used to
create a green or colored blanket over the
ground.

5.3.2 Layered Landscape Design Criteria
This subsection describes in more detail the
layered landscape concept and provides criteria
that will be used to design areas in the Setback
Realm designated to have a layered landscape
treatment.
Since planting in both the Public Realm and
adjacent Setback Realm will be needed to create
a layered landscape, successful implementation
requires that planting in both reinforce each
other. As a result, setback landscaping will vary
depending on the treatment of adjacent Public
Realm landscape.
Implementation of the layered landscape is most
important in two areas: along Katella Avenue and
Harbor Boulevard, the two major streets within
the Central Core; as an additional device to
create a unified appearance; and, adjacent to
large parking facilities, which will benefit from the
articulation of the building facade provided by the
variation in the size and height of plant material.
Such effective articulation for these buildings
would be difficult to provide only with
architecture. While construction of the layered
landscape in the Public Realm will be achieved in
large continuous sections of street, layered
landscape in the Setback Realm will be
constructed in smaller pieces as individual
parcels develop or are renovated. Achievement
of the layered landscape look will depend on the
successful enforcement of the concept on
numerous parcels over a number of years.
The length of the street frontage of individual
parcels is the most important factor that will
influence implementation of the layered
landscape. Parcel frontages of more than five
hundred lineal feet are long enough to provide
the variation needed to create the layered
landscape look within a single parcel, while
frontages of less than three hundred feet are too
short to provide much variation. Therefore, areas
that have many parcels with short frontages will
require special consideration. Exhibits 5.3-7
(Layered Landscape Design Criteria for
Properties with Frontages Greater than 300 Feet)
and 5.3-8 (Layered Landscape Design Criteria
for Properties with Frontages Less than 300
Feet) illustrate diagrammatically the criteria for
creating layered landscape based on the length
of parcel frontage.
The width of the landscape setback will also
affect the creation of the layered landscape. In
order to create a layered landscape, there needs
to be at least two horizontal or two vertical layers
of landscape. This means that in narrow setbacks (10-20 feet wide), the selection of plant material is likely to be different than for medium
(20-30 feet), or wide (greater than 30 feet)
setbacks. Wider setbacks permit the use of a
larger canopy or pyramidal trees, or will allow
more than three layers in the Setback Realm
alone. Exhibit 5.3-9 (Layered Landscape Setback
Width Criteria) illustrates diagrammatically the
criteria for creating layered landscape based on
setback width.

5.3.3 Minimum Tree Density
The Design Plan identifies trees as a critical
element necessary to create a civic scale, and
trees are also needed to establish the layered
landscape envisioned for the Setback Realm.
Trees in the setbacks adjacent to public streets
also support the landscaping proposed for the
Public Realm. Therefore, both the size and
number of trees, which are to be planted in the
Setback Realm are regulated by the minimum
landscape requirement.
To permit flexibility and design creativity in
landscape design, the minimum landscape
requirement recognizes that the effect of planting
many smaller sized trees is comparable to the
effect created by planting fewer large trees.
Therefore, the regulation allows for variation in
the size and number of trees. However, the
Setback Realm landscaping adjacent to public
streets must also be in conformance with the
requirements identified in Subsection 5.3.2,
Layered Landscape Design Criteria, which
requires a balanced number of
trees/plants/shrubs to be planted within the
various landscaping layers.
Refer to Planning Standard Detail No. 10 for
relevant tree spacing recommendations.
5.3.3.1 Tree Density to Vary According to
Adjacent Use
The Design Plan also recognizes that the density
of trees adjacent to some types of uses should
be different than the density adjacent to others.
The densest tree planting will be required
adjacent to residential uses. Dense planting will
also be required when intended to screen an
area as in the case adjacent to parking structures
or service areas. The least dense planting will be
required adjacent to the public right-of-way for
hotels, restaurants, or other visitor-serving uses
where visibility to the public is important.
5.3.3.2 The Tree Density Factor
To differentiate one tree density from another, all
final landscape plans submitted to the City for
approval will be required to show the Tree
Density Factor for each landscape area. To
establish the Tree Density Factor, all trees
planted in the setback areas will have a point
value based upon their size at installation. The
point value varies depending on the size of the
tree: large trees have a higher point value than
small trees (the actual values are defined below).
The Tree Density Factor for any landscape area
is defined as the sum of the point values for all
trees installed divided by the total area required
to be landscaped.
The ARSP establishes three levels of tree
density, as indicated in Table 5.3-1 Levels of
Tree Density.

Exhibit 5.3-10 (Tree Density Factor Plan), shows
the location of each density of tree planting
required by the plan adjacent to all public streets
and to properties bordering the ARSP area. All
trees are also subject to a minimum size at the
time of installation. Refer to the Planning
Standard Detail No. 10 for more information. The
tree point values are defined in Table 5.3-2 (Tree
Point Values).
Table 5.3-2 Tree Point Values

in the Setback Realm)
15 points 15-gallon tree
50 points 24-inch box canopy or vertical tree;

125 points 36-inch box canopy or vertical tree;
Washingtonia or Brahea species palm
with a trunk ≤ 20 feet in height; Phoenix

300 points 48-inch box canopy or vertical tree;
Washingtonia or Brahea species palm
with a trunk > 20 feet in height; Phoenix
species palm with trunk ≤ 20 feet in height
600 points 60-inch box canopy or vertical tree;
Phoenix species palm with trunk > 20 feet
in height
1,200 points 72-inch box canopy or vertical tree
The total number of points for a given landscape
area within the setback must be equal to or
greater than the product of the Tree Density
Factor and the area to be landscaped. For
example, a 10,000 square foot landscape area
with a factor of .5 requires the total point value of
trees planted in this area to equal or exceed
5,000 points.

5.3.4 Plant Selection
This subsection is intended to assist in the
selection of plant material to be used within all
three Realms of the ARSP area. Planning
Standard Detail No. 10 contains two plant
selection matrices: one for trees and another for
shrubs, vines and ground cover. The plants listed
in Planning Standard Detail No. 10 fulfill the
planting design requirements contained in
Subsection 5.3.1, Plant Materials Selection and
Use, and identify the specific plant material that
may be used to satisfy the landscape
requirements in the Design Plan.
Planning Standard Detail No. 10 identifies the
trees by street location and Exhibit 5.4-1
(Landscape Cross Sections) identifies the
location of application. Subsection 5.3.1, Plant
Material Selection and Use, contains a
description of these classifications, and generally
describes the basic uses for each type of tree.
For each species, Planning Standard Detail No.
10 contains detailed information about the
character of the tree, including:
• maximum height and spread;
• spacing at installation;
• water use;
• intended use; and
• tree type.
Planning Standard Detail No. 10 identifies where
and how trees should be used, and the
appropriateness of each species for use in
different Realm areas. For the Private Realm,
any tree listed in the matrix may be utilized.
Planning Standard Detail No. 10 follows a similar
pattern by identifying the shrubs, vines and
ground cover by street location and application.
For each species, Planning Standard Detail No.
10 contains detailed information about the
character of the shrubs, vines and ground cover,
including:
• maximum height and spread;
• spacing at installation; and
• water use.
Planning Standard Detail No. 10 identifies where
and how shrubs, vines and ground cover should
be used, and the appropriateness of each
species for use in different Realm areas. For the
Private Realm, any shrubs, vines and ground
cover listed in the matrix may be utilized.
For Planning Standard Detail No. 10, a ‘P’
indicates that the particular plant has either the
quality indicated (in the case of the portion of the
matrix which describes the plant’s character), or
that the plant is preferred for the designation. A
solid dot indicates that the plant is acceptable for
the indicated use, and the absence of a dot
generally means that the plant should not be
used for the specified situation. Within the Private
Realm, the matrix may be interpreted more
freely; for example, it is acceptable for trees not
identified as specimens to be used as specimens
if planted in larger sizes (48” box, or larger). The
intent is to permit more flexibility for landscape
areas located in the Private Realm but visible
from the public right-of-ways.
Plants listed in Planning Standard Detail No. 10
should comprise at least 80% of the area to be
landscaped and 80% of the total list of plants to
be used within the Setback Realm and Public
Realm. Plants listed in Planning Standard No. 10
should also comprise at least 80% of the area to
be landscaped and 80% of the total list of plants
to be used within the Private Realm, where
visible from the public right-of-way. Ensuring
similar and complementary tree, shrubs, vines
and ground cover within both the Specific Plan
and The Anaheim Resort Public Realm
Landscape Program, and Planning Standard
Detail No. 10 will strengthen the overall
appearance of The Anaheim Resort.

landscape treatments proposed for each of the
major public streets in the area. This Diagram is
intended to illustrate the overall planting design
concept and does not show the actual size or
placement of trees and other landscape
elements.
The following landscape cross sections are
intended to provide a general overview of the
different landscape treatments that will help
create the unifying identity for The Anaheim
Resort. They also show the approximate location
of the Public Realm, Setback Realm and Private
Realm on each public street in the ARSP area. In
this way they provide a key to Sections 5.6,
Design Criteria for the Public Realm, 5.7, Design
Criteria for the Setback Realm, and 5.8, Design
Criteria for the Public Realm, which contain more
detailed information about each Realm, including
the role of each Realm creating an overall
unifying identity and a description of the specific
components of each respective Realm.
The cross sections are not intended to illustrate
every condition that may occur within or adjacent
to the street right-of-way, nor do they contain
setback and right-of-way dimensions.

5.5 Identity Concept Plan
The Anaheim Resort Identity Program describes
how signs and other identity elements, such as
entry gateways and street furniture in the Public
Realm, and freestanding monument signs
identifying private businesses in the Setback
Realm, will help create the unified environment
envisioned for the entire Anaheim Resort. The
Anaheim Resort Identity Program was approved
by the City Council as a separate document. All
Public Realm Identity elements, as well as the
Freestanding Monument Sign Design, described
in the Anaheim Resort Identity Program are applicable to the entire Anaheim Resort.
This sign program for the ARSP will have the
following characteristics:
• Prior to installation, plans will be 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 ARSP area;
• 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 will make it easier for visitors to
quickly find their destination.
Additional important information about signs is
also contained elsewhere in the ARSP in Section
5.6, Design Criteria for the Public Realm; Section
5.7, Design Criteria for the Setback Realm; and
Section 1.1, Design Criteria for the Private
Realm. Section 7.0, Zoning and Development
Standards, contains the Anaheim Municipal Code
regulations which apply to signs in the ARSP
area.

As described in Section 5.2.7, Establish a Clear
Design Hierarchy, the Design Plan divides the
ARSP area into three segments: the Public
Realm, the Setback Realm, and the Private
Realm. The most visible segment, known as the
Public Realm, includes all the area within the
ultimate public right-of-way within the specific
plan area and includes public streets, street
medians, parkways and sidewalks. Because of
its visual prominence and because development
of this segment will primarily be implemented by
the City or other government agencies (i.e.,
Caltrans), more specific design solutions are
prescribed for the Public Realm than for the other
Realms. These design solutions are described in
The Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape
and Identity Programs, with supplemental
information provided in this section.
The primary design emphasis in the Public
Realm is to provide a streetscape design that
implements the major design concepts described
in the preceding sections. Adherence to the
streetscape design concepts for the Public
Realm is extremely important because of the
dominant role a street's image has in creating
The Anaheim Resort's identity. Creating a strong
identity is critically dependent on implementing a
consistent, high quality, streetscape treatment.
