WHEREAS, pursuant to the procedures set forth in Chapter 18.72 (formerly, Chapter 18.93) of the Anaheim Municipal Code, on September 27, 1994, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 5454 amending the zoning map to reclassify approximately 549.5 acres of certain real property described therein into the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan (ARSP) No. 92-2 Zone subject to certain conditions as specified therein, and Ordinance No. 5453 relating to establishment of Zoning and Development Standards for the Anaheim Resor t Specific Plan No. 92- 2 by the addition of Chapter 18.48 [subsequently renumbered as Chapter 18.116] to said Municipal Code (referred to herein as “ARSP Zoning and Development Standards”); and WHEREAS, the ARSP provides a long-range, comprehensive plan for future development within The Anaheim Resort, an area of the City designated on the General Plan for Commercial Recreation land uses. The Specific Plan includes a land use plan, zoning and development standards, design guidelines and a public facilities plan and permits the development of hotel, convention, retail, and other visitor -serving uses as well as the infrastructure improvements that are needed to support future development; and WHEREAS, in connection with the adoption of the ARSP and related acti ons (General Plan Amendment, The Anaheim Resort Identity Program and The Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape Program), the City Council certified Master Environmental Impact Report (MEIR) No. 313, with a Statement of Findings and a Statement of Overriding Considerations, and adopted Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) No. 0085 by adopting Resolution No. 94R -234 on September 20, 1994. Since being certified in 1994, two validation reports were prepared (1999 and 2004) to evaluate the continued relevance and accuracy of MEIR No. 313; and WHEREAS, since the adoption of the ARSP, the City Council has adopted fourteen (14) amendments and thirteen (13) zoning code adjustments, and two (2) amendment requests have been submitted and subsequently withdrawn, which have expanded the total acreage of the ARSP area to approximately 581.3 acres; and
WHEREAS, in support of Amendment No. 14 to the ARSP to update the ARSP to reflect development conditions and regulations, increase the maximum allowable square footage in the Public Recreational (PR) District to accommodate the future expansion of the Anaheim Convention Center and replace the conditions of approval contained in Ordinance No. 5454 with MMP No. 85C in conjunction with related actions (Gener al Plan Amendment, Zoning Code Amendment, The Anaheim Resort Identity Program Amendment and The Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape Program Amendment), the City Council certified Supplemental EIR No. 2008- 340 (Supplemental EIR No. 340), which is a Supplemental EIR to MEIR No. 313, and approved MMP No. 85C by adopting Resolution No. 2012-158 on December 18, 2012. Since being certified in 2012, a validation report was prepared in 2019 to evaluate the continued relevance and accuracy of SEIR No. 340; and
WHEREAS, the City Council did receive a verified application from Walt Disney Parks and Resorts U.S., Inc. (“Disney”) for an amendment to The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan (DRSP) No. 92- 2 in conjunction with approval of the proposed DisneylandForward Project and related entitlements (collectively known as “Development Application No. 2021-00069” or the “Project”), for certain real property primarily located within an area known as The Anaheim Resort®, a 1,078-acre portion of the City especially designated by the City’s General Plan for Commercial Recreation land uses and generally located west of the I-5 freeway, south of Vermont Avenue, east of Walnut Street, and north of Chapman Avenue, and also including areas identified in the General Plan as planned extensions of Gene Autry Way between Harbor Boulevard and Haster Street and Clementine Street between Katella Avenue and Orangewood Avenue, portions of which are outside of The Anaheim Resort, in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, as generally depicted on the map attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Property”) and incorporated herein by this reference; and
WHEREAS, properties owned or leased by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts U.S., Inc. or subsidiaries of the Walt Disney Company within the DRSP and ARSP are depicted on Exhibit B (“Disney Properties”); and

• 1515 S
. Manchester Avenue (currently used as the Manchester Cast Member Lot);
• 1585 S. Manchester Avenue (currently occupied by an office building and also used as the Manchester Cast Member Lot);
• 1530 S. Harbor Boulevard (currently used as the Manchester Cast Member Lot);
• 1900 S. Harbor Boulevard (currently used as the Toy Story Parking Lot); • 333 W. Ball Road (currently used as the Harbor Cast Member Lot); and, • 1717 S. Disneyland Drive (Paradise Pier Hotel, recently renamed “Pixar Place Hotel”); and
W
HEREAS, to the extent the Project would update The Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape Program, The Anaheim Resort Identity Program and the Anaheim Commercial Recreation Area Maximum Permitted Structural Height Map, the Project site includes the entire Anaheim Resort (inclusive of the ARSP, DRSP, and Hotel Circle Specific Plan No. 93-1); and WHEREAS, the DisneylandForward Project is proposed to allow continued, long- term growth of The Disneyland Resort. The Project would allow the transfer of uses permitted under The Disneyland Resort Project to Disney Properties in other areas of the DRSP and the ARSP. It would also allow future streamlined review of Disney development projects in these areas. The Project would not increase the amount of development square footage or hotel rooms currently allowed in the DRSP and analyzed in EIR No. 311, which the City certified in 1993, and Addendum No. 1 to EIR No. 311, which the City approved in 1996, or the number of hotel rooms currently allowed in the ARSP and analyzed in Supplemental EIR No. 340, which the City certified in 2012. However, it would permit an increase of 4,376 theme park employee parking spaces in the ARSP and provide for future administrative review by the City of Disney’s development projects on Disney Properties within the DRSP and the ARSP. It would also modify the limits of the existing Theme Park and Hotel District boundaries within the existing DRSP perimeter (these two Districts would be combined and the expanded District would be called the Theme Park District) and rename the Future Expansion District to the Southeast District within the DRSP. It would also establish Overlays for Disney Prope rties in the ARSP (Theme Park East Overlay, Theme Park West Overlay and Parking Overlay). Disney is not seeking additional square footage for theme park uses or retail entertainment uses or additional hotel rooms within The Disneyland Resort as part of this Project. Instead, the Project would allow Disney to move the existing Disneyland Resort approvals for these uses to other Disney Properties governed by the DRSP and ARSP; and
WHEREAS, the DisneylandForward Project includes the following e ntitlements, which shall be referred to herein collectively as the "Project":
1. An amendment to the Land Use and Circulation Elements of the General Plan and the City’s Bicycle Master Plan, to revise maps, figures, text and tables throughout the General Plan to conform to the following changes:

5. Amendment No. 6 to The Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape Program which would comprehensively update text, graphics and imagery throughout the document to reflect current conditions in The Anaheim Resort, expand The Anaheim Resort planting palette to include additional plantings that are more climate appropriate, low water using,
disease and pest resistant, and native to Southern California and include information pertaining to pedestrian bridges/crossings and pedestrian and bicycle paths, in conjunction with the Project;
6. Amendment No. 4 to The Anaheim Resort Identity Program which would comprehensively update text, graphics and imagery throughout the document to reflect current conditions in The Anaheim Resort and include information pertaining to Arrival Gateways, Pedestrian Bridge/Crossings and Minor Pedestrian Directional and Informational Signs, in conjunction with the Project;

WHEREAS, Amendment No. 17 to the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan would update the ARSP to reflect proposed modifications to The Disneyland Resort Project. It would allow for the transfer of Disneyland Resort Project theme park and parking uses permitted under the DRSP to Disney Properties in the ARSP. This includes the potential transfer of DRSP theme park uses to the proposed new ARSP Theme Park East and Theme Park West Overlays and the potential transfer of parking uses from the DRSP Parking District to the adjacent proposed new ARSP Parking Overlay. It would also provide for an increase of 4,376 theme park-related parking spaces in the proposed ARSP Parking Overlay. The amendment would also provide for future administrative review by the City of Disney’s development projects on Disney Properties within the ARSP. It would also include modifications to the ARSP document (including, but not limited to, the land use plan, zoning and development standards, design plan and public facilities plan and a revised phas ing plan); and, incorporation of text and graphic modifications throughout the document; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.; herein referred to as “CEQA”), the State of California Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations; herein referred to as the "CEQA Guidelines"), the City is the "lead agency" for the preparation and consideration of environmental documents for the Project; and

WHEREAS, the City Council, and after due consideration, inspection, investigation and study made by itself and in its behalf and after due consideration of all evidence and reports offered at said hearing with respect to the request for the Project, the City Council does hereby find and determine that all of the following conditions exist with respect to proposed Amendment No. 17 to the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan No. 92-2:
1. That the property proposed for the specific plan amendment has unique site characteristics, such as topography, location or surroundings that are enhanced by special land use and development standards. The ARSP is located in an area of the City known as The Anaheim Resort, which is designated on the City of Anaheim General Plan for Commercial Recreation land uses. The Commercial Recreation designation is implemented by three Specific Plans, including the ARSP, and is intended to provide for tourist and visitor-serving uses. The proposed amendment would not change the boundaries of the existing ARSP.
2. 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 ARSP is located in an area of the City known as The Anaheim Resort, which is designated on the City of Anaheim General Plan for Commercial Recreation land uses intended for tourist and visitor-serving uses.
The Project provides for a mix of these types of uses, including theme park, retail, restaurant, entertainment, hotels, and parking uses . The proposed ARSP amendment is consistent with and implements the existing goals and policies of the General Plan and with the purposes, standards and land use guidelines therein, including following the approval of the General Plan Amendment, now pending, to the Land Use and Circulation Elements and the City’s Bicycle Master Plan. The Project’s consistency with the General Plan is described in detail in Table 5.10- 1 (Consistency of the Project with the General Plan), which is on file with the City of Anaheim Planning and Building Department and incorporated herein by this reference as if set forth in full.
3. That the specific plan results in development of desirable character that will be compatible with existing and proposed development in the surrounding neighborhood. The proposed amendment provides for development of theme park, hotel, parking and other visitor - serving uses consistent with the General Plan Commercial Recreation land use designation. The proposed amendment also includes amended zoning and development standards and design guidelines for these uses, including, but not limited to, building heights, setbacks and screening requirements, which have been designed to be compatible with surrounding uses, implement the General Plan, and will enhance and preserve the general welfare, as described in detail in the proposed amended Specific Plan.
4. That the specific plan contributes to a balance of land uses throughout the City by encouraging tourist and entertainment related industries in an area of the City specifically designated for this type of development. The proposed amendment would allow for the transfer of previously approved theme park square footage and parking spaces from the DRSP to Disney Properties in the ARSP to permit greater flexibility in the development of these uses. This includes the potential transfer of DRSP theme park uses to the proposed new ARSP Theme Park East and Theme Park West Overlays and the potential transfer of parking uses from the DRSP Parking District to the adjacent proposed new ARSP Parking Overlay. The proposed amendment would permit an increase of 4,376 theme park-related parking spaces in the proposed new ARSP Parking Overlay north of Ball Road. The proposed amend ment would not increase the overall maximum development square footage or hotel rooms currently allowed by the ARSP and the DRSP.
5. That the specific plan respects environmental, aesthetic and historic resources consistent with economic realities as the potential environmental impacts associated with the Project were analyzed and applicable mitigation measures have been adopted as f urther described in City Council’s heretofore adoption of Resolution No. 2024-*** certifying FSEIR No. 352 to Final EIR No. 311 and Final Supplemental EIR No. 340 for the Project, and concurrent adoption of Findings and a Statement of Overriding Considerations and Mitigation Monitoring Program No. 387 as the mitigation-monitoring program for the Project; and WHEREAS, the City Council determines that the evidence in the record constitutes substantial evidence to support the actions taken and the findings made in this ordinance, that the facts stated in this ordinance are supported by substantial evidence in the record, including testimony received at the public hearing, the staff presentation, the staff report and all materials in the files for the Project.

parking permitted i n The Disneyland Resort
Project to other areas of the DRSP and
properties within A RSP owned or leased by
Disney or other subsidiaries of The Walt D isney
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 Disn eyland Resort
Specific Plan area. This proposal did not request
an i ncrease in t he amount o f development
square foo tage or hotel rooms allowed in the
DRSP, or the n umber of hote l rooms allowed in
the ARSP. However, it would include an increase
of 4,376 theme park-related parking spaces i n
the ARSP. The proposal allow ed theme park
square footage t o 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 allow ed the parking
spaces to move from the DRSP Parking Distr ict
East Parking Area to the adjacent ARSP Parking
Overlay, in conj unction with development of a
parking facility i n the East Park ing Area. Any
amount of park ing spa ces construct ed in the P
Overlay at Manchester Avenue would result in an
equivalent amount of potenti al parking s paces
removed from the allotment for the DRSP
Parking District, East Parking Area . Refer to
Chapter 3 for ad ditional information and Exhibit
1.8-1 (Development Plan) for the l ocation of the
Theme Park and Parking Overlays.
1.4.2 The Hotel Circle Specific Plan
On August 16, 1 994, the City of Anaheim
adopted the Hotel Circle Specific Pla n (SP 93-1)
for th e remaining 6.8 acres of The Anaheim
Resort. This specific pla n allows for the
development of up to 969 hotel rooms. All of the
parcels within the spec ific plan ar ea 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 th e pertinent goals, polic ies
and objectiv es of the General Plan. In 1994,
when the Ci ty adopted the ARSP, t he following
General Plan policies relevant t o development of
the Specific Plan were in place:
• To main tain and encourage Anaheim 's
position as a na tionally recognized touri st,
convention and recreation center;
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 1.0 Executive Summary

• To i ncrease sales tax yields and further
enhance t he ec onomic base of the
community, thereby lessening the tax burden
on real property;
• To encourage the development of qual ity
facilities that complement conventions, family
entertainment, and recreat ion wit hin
appropriate areas of the community; and,
• To maintain the integrity of the Commercial
Recreation Area (now referred to as The
Anaheim Resort) by per mitting only
compatible land uses w ithin t his d esignated
area.
In 2004, the Anahei m Cit y 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 f ound i n Section 6.0, General Pl an
Consistency.

buffering them from potential land u se
impacts associated with development of The
Anaheim Resort;
• To maintain or enhance traffic and circulation
in and around The Anaheim Resort;
• To provide convenient acc ess to all hot el,
restaurant, and retail opportunities in The
Anaheim Resort to enhance the area- wide
tourist experience;
• To protect adjacent residential neighborhoods
from un necessary i ntrusion by vehicles

1.7 The Development Plan
The Dev elopment Plan establish es the basic
framework for land use and devel opment
standards, which will govern development of the
ARSP area. It defines the permitted uses,
development density, buildin g setbacks, building
heights, and other design standards that will be
complied with by individual property owners and
developers w hen bui lding new or r enovating
existing projects.
1.7.1 Land Use
The land us es p ermitted within t he ARSP area
will be con sistent with the overall goal of
maximizing t he area's potential, whi le
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 Rec reation (C-R)
District (De velopment Area 1), whic h
encompasses the entire ARSP a rea, except the
Anaheim Conv ention Cent er and the Hilton
Anaheim hotel , provi des for the development of
hotels, mo tels, convention and conference
facilities, as well as restaurants, retail shops, and
entertainment uses. Since the uses are or iented
towards entertainment, retail uses s uch as
neighborhood shopping centers will not be
permitted. In a ddition, 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) Overl ay. The MHP
Overlay encompasses two existing mobile home
parks and a recreational vehicle (RV) pa rk. The
requirements set forth in Chapter 18.14 (P ublic
and Spec ial-Purpose Zones ) of the Anaheim
Municipal Code provide developmen t 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.
A
lso located within the C-R District, the 59.3-acre
Anaheim Re sort Residential (ARR) Overlay
allows for conditionally permitted residential uses
in co njunction with the devel opment of a ful l-
service hotel having at least 300 hotel rooms and
where (i) hotel uses comprise at least half of the
site density, (ii) residen tial 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 P ublic Recreation (P R) District
(Development Area 2) encompasses the City of
Anaheim Convention Center and associated
parking com plexes, and the 1,600 -room Hilton
Anaheim hot el. The PR D istrict allows up to
2,158,363 square feet of convention
center/meeting spa ce; 100,000 sq uare feet of
outdoor programmable space; 2,500 hotel rooms;
and 180,000 squa re feet of commercial sp ace.
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 c ontrol the orderly use
of City -owned property and adjac ent private
property.
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 1.0 Executive Summary

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 inc ludes the Toy Story surface parking
lot associated with The Disneyland Resort. The
TP West Overlay in cludes two properties on
approximately 5. 15 acres and currently
encompasses the e xisting P ixar Pals Hotel and
associated parking s tructure. T he TP Overlays
allow for theme park uses in conjunction wit h
hotel and other uses allowed by the C-R District.
Also located in t he C-R Distr ict, the Par king (P)
Overlay includes two separate areas one at
Manchester Avenue, directly north of t he DRSP
Parking District East Parking Area, and one at
the northeast corner of Harbor Boulevard and
Ball Road . The P arking Overlay at Manchester
Avenue includ es three properties on
approximately 14.88 acres. The P arking Overlay
at Harbor Boulevard and Ball Road includes eight
properties on approximately 10.69 acres. The
Parking Overlay allows for parking and limi ted
back-of-house uses, such as administrative
offices and other incidental theme park support
facilities, suc h as rest rooms and parking facility
offices, in conjunction with h otel 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 set ting, the density at which particular
areas are developed is an i mportant planning
consideration. In particular, the tim ing and
availability o f infrastructure ( such as vehi cular
access, water and sewer capacity, and storm
drainage facilities) is the critical d eterminant for
the future development potential of the ARSP
area. In a ddition, proximity to the area’s
attractions, and the rel ationship to surrounding
land uses was considered. For the allowable
development densities wit hin 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 als o contains regulations which de fine
required landscape treat ments both within th e
public right -of-way and i n required setbacks, as
well as guidelines for site planning, service area
design, parking facility de sign, build ing
appearance, signs, and other landscaping.
In recognition of the importance of the Harbor
Boulevard and Katella Avenue corridors to the
identity of T he Anaheim Resort, the p lan
establishes special standards and guidel ines for
the central po rtion 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 t ables on the
following pages summari ze the Development
Plan for t he ARSP. Exhibit 1.7 -1 (Development
Summary Pl an), shows the location of the C -R
District (Deve lopment Area 1), th e PR District
(Development Area 2), the Central Core, the
Mobilehome P ark (MHP) Overlay, the Anaheim
Resort Resid ential (ARR) Overlay, the Theme
Park (TP) Overlay, and the Parking (P) Overlay. It
is accompani ed 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.
As shown in Table 1.7-2, the ARSP permits up to

rooms or hotel room equivalents that are currently
developed within the ARSP a rea. For imp act
analysis, commercial uses are converted to hotel
room equivalents on a ratio of 600 s quare feet of
commercial development to one hotel room.
The PR District includes the 1,712,004 squar e
foot ( sf) Anaheim Co nvention Center and the
1,600-room Hilton Anaheim hotel. The PR
District allows dev elopment of up to 2,158,363
square feet of conven tion center/meeting space;
100,000 squar e feet of outdoor programmable
space; 2,500 hotel rooms ; an d 180,000 square
feet of commercial space.
The TP East Overlay allows development of up to
840,000 square f eet of them e park uses allowed
under the DRSP as part of The D isneyland
Resort Project and up to 3,348 hotel rooms ,
which are allowed under the Specif ic 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 Disne yland Resort
Project and up to 564 hotel rooms , which are
allowed under t he ARSP. Any amount of theme
park square footage const ructed in the TP
Overlay would result in an equi valent amount of
potential theme park square footage removed
from th e allotment for the DRSP Theme Park
District s uch that the m aximum 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 c orner of Harbor
Boulevard and Ball Road allows development of
up to 5,700 parking spaces and up t o 534 hotel
rooms, which are allowed under the ARSP. Any
amount of parking spac es cons tructed in the P
Overlay at Manchester Avenue would result in an
equivalent amount of potential parking spaces
removed f rom the allotment for the DRSP
Parking District, East Parking Area.
1.8 Implementing the Specific
Plan
The sk etches, diagrams, and p lans in cluded in
the ARSP are intended to convey the overall
design intent of the ARSP. A s individual
properties are dev eloped, additi onal si te
planning, design r eview and approval will be
required prior to the issuance of building permits.

The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 2.0 Planning Context
PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT (MARCH 2024)
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 pro vides
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 n ature of tourist and convention-
oriented uses , and effectively implements the
policies of the ARSP. It also identifies the public
facilities and services that will be needed to
support the de velopment and describes how the
project and its related improvements will be
phased.
The zoning regulations contained within this
specific plan in Section 7.0, Zo ning 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 facilit ies, services and
infrastructure to ac commodate 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
PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT (MARCH 2024)
2-2
be ac hieved 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 archi tectural character and quality of the
buildings proposed will be regulated through a
combination of setback requirem ents contained
in Section 7.0, Zoning and Development
Standards, and design guidelines contained in
Section 5.0, Design Plan, of this speci fic p lan.
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 rei nforce 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 convent ion 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 visitor -
serving re tail 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, service s, and
infrastructure to accom modate 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 ped estrian
environment and the streetsc ape (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 Resor t. 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
PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT (MARCH 2024)
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 Inte rmodal
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 (descr ibed in m ore
detail in The Disney land Resort Specific Plan).
These facilities will have a max imum capacity of
34,300 cars and will accommodate Anaheim
Convention Center, as well as theme park
visitors. Access from the parking faci lities 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 Reso rt Specific
Plan, which includes high-capacity public parking
facilities, pedestrian wal kways, transportation
system(s), and pedestrian bridges .
2.2.6 Develop Implementation
Mechanisms to Assure Quality
Development
To assure the over all 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 guideli nes, as well as a
public facilities plan. Section 5.0, Desi gn 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 i n Section 5.0. The zoning and
development standards are contained within
Section 7 .0, Zoning and Development
Standards. They define the per mitted 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 overal l policy direction (in th is
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 goal s
are achieved as devel opment of the ARSP area
proceeds.
2.3 Authority and Scope of the
Specific Plan
The City of Anaheim's authority to prepare,
adopt, and im plement specific plans is assured
by California Government Code, Article 8
Specific Plans, Secti on 65450 through Section
65457. Procedures for the ad option,
implementation, and amendment of specific
plans are provided in Chapter 18. 72 Specific
Plans, of the Anaheim Municipal Code. The

Planning Commission must hold a public hearing
before it can recom mend the adoption of a
specific plan by the City Council. The Cit y
Council may then adopt the specific plan by
ordinance.
A
s required by Chapter 18.72 of the Anaheim
Municipal Code and California Government Code
Sections 65450 et. seq., this document and the
associated envi ronmental impact reports that
have been prepar ed 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, includi ng
open s
pace.
• 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 whic
h
m
ay be needed to support proposed
development.
• Land use and o ther regulations that w ill
i
mplement the specific plan.
• Pr
ograms, public works projects, and
financing measures to implement the specific
plan.
• A statement of the relationship of the specific
plan to the General Plan.
C
hapter 18.72 also requires a dev elopment
schedule s etting forth phasing of developmen t
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 ot her than the Public Facil ities
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 renov ate 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.
I
n addition, this document addresses subjects,
such as urban design, which are necessary and
desirable for implementation of the General Plan.
Fur
ther, this document provides information that
specifies how the proposed ARSP is in
conformance with the f ollowing 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 s ite characteristics such as
topography, location or s urroundings 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;

• 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 aes thetic 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 docu ments
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 C onsistency, 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 cas es 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 whic h 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 decision-
makers with an analysis of the potenti al
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 Anahei m
Resort Specific Plan M aster EIR No. 313 (State
Clearinghouse No. 9109 1062) in support of the
adoption of The Anaheim Resor t Specific Plan
No. 92-2 in September 1994. Master EIR No. 313
evaluated impacts associated with the
establishment and implementati on 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 M aster
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 S upplemental EIR No.
340 to reevaluate all the environmental changes
that have occurred in and around The Anaheim
Resort and to eval uate 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. 34 0 and its ability to be
used as a Master EIR for all projected

development within the boundaries of the ARS P
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 Pr operty” 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 prepar ed an Initial Study
which determined that certain potentially
significant environmental impacts might be
associated with dev elopment of the
DisneylandForward project. As a result, t he City
prepared Subsequent EIR No. 3 52 (under
separate cover) which identi fies impacts which
may result from the development of
DisneylandForward and includes recommended
mitigation measures to less en 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 ass ociated 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 T heme Park West Overlays and
the additional of parking uses in the ARSP
Parking Overlays. For non- Disney pr operties
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 fr om the
ARSP Updat e and the Anaheim Convention
Center Expansion, S upplemental EIR No. 340
serves as the primary environmental document
for all future entitlements associated with the
ARSP, including all discretionar y approvals
requested or required to implement the ARSP.
For the DisneylandForward P roject,
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 Anahei m adopted Th e Dis neyland
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 P lan per mits the
development of new theme park s, ad ditional
hotels and entertainment areas, new parking
facilities, and an internal tr ansportation 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 Resor t, Walt Disney Parks and
Resorts U.S., Inc . proposed D isneylandForward,
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 r etail,
dining and entertainment us es, 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 e nvironmental revi ew for

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 consis-
tency, and to ensure that elements of the plans
are c omplementary (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 R esort
Specific Plan are included within this document in
order to provide the reader with a better
understanding o f 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 al lows for the
development of up to 969 hotel rooms. All of t he
parcels withi n the specific plan area are
developed with a total of 818 hotel rooms.

Avenue, east of Walnut Avenue, and north of
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 l ocation 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 a re 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 neighbor hoods consisting of single-
family homes and multiple- family dwelling units
are located south and west of the Anaheim
Convention Cent er 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 estab-
lishes the general policies that will govern land
use within the ARSP area. Section 7.0, Z oning
and Development Standards, contains s pecific,
detailed zoning and de velopment standards,
which are based on the policies described herein.
The land use plan is based on three ma jor
factors that will govern land use within the ARSP
area. For eac h of these three factors , the ARSP
provides a background rationale for the proposed
land use regulations, as well as a description o f
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 (M HP) 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 locat ion 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 na me, The Anaheim Reso rt is
intended for land uses with a commercial and/or
recreational emphasis. The pr esence of the
Anaheim Convention Center , the Disneyland
Theme P ark 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 Anahei m Resort . A s a result, visitors to
The Anaheim Resort require many types of
goods and servi ces in order to make their visits
safe, convenient and enjoyable.
Among the most common visitor requirements
are food and lodgi ng. C onsequently, in the
majority of the 518.5-acre C -R Distr ict, hotels,
motels and restaurants are permitted uses. In
addition, many service and retail businesses
intended to accommodate vis itors, such as
barber or beauty shops, travel agencies,
automobile r ental agenci es, and specialty re tail
shops, will also be permitted when int egrated
within a hotel/motel de velopment. Those uses
which are consistent with the overall intent of the
ARSP, but which may require special consider -
ation in order to assure compatibility with
surrounding uses will require conditional u se
permits.
The 1.8 million square foot Anaheim Convention
Center, one of the major visit or destinations in
The Anaheim Resort, and the existing 1,600-
room Hilton Anaheim h otel are located in the
62.8-acre PR District (Development Area 2).
Development within the PR District is subject to
the requirements of the P R (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 pr operties. Ot her related
visitor-serving uses allowed in the Dis trict 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 A RSP 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
PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT (MARCH 2024)
3-5
up to 920,000 square fee t 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 Distri ct.
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 D RSP Theme Park District su ch that the
maximum theme park square footage in the
DRSP Theme Park District , DRSP Southeast
District, and TP O verlay will no t 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-of-
house us es such as supporting office space, a
limited amount of retail and dining such as kiosks
along pedestrian pathway s within the P Overlay,
and up to 1,650 hotel rooms which are allowed
under the S pecific Plan. The P Over lay
encompasses 25.57 acres. The P Overlay along
Manchester Avenue north of the Ea st Parking
Area of the DRSP Parking District allows
development of a portion of t he number of
parking s paces approved for the East Parking
Area as part of The Disneyland Resort Project.
The intent of the P O verlay is to allow
development of these park ing spaces
concurrently wit h 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 complet e li st of a ll t he 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 th e C-R District (Dev elopment
Area 1) that will help as sure that development of
the a rea w ill be compatible with proposed
infrastructure and with the goal to protect
surrounding residential uses. These d ensity
designations are based upon hotel/motel
development an d allow up to 20% of each
hotel/motel project g ross square footage,
excluding parking facilities, to be developed with
integrated (i.e., included within the main
hotel/motel complex) accessory uses. These
accessory uses wil l reduce the otherwise
maximum permitted hotel /motel density at the
rate of one hotel/motel room per six hundr ed
(600) gross squar e 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 g eneration char acteristics of said uses
shall not exceed those as sociated with the other-
wise permitted hotel/motel (including a ccessory
uses) density as determined by the Pl anning
Director or desi gnee 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 Densi ty (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 (M odified) (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 provi ded the trip
generation characteristics a re equi valent to
100 hotel rooms/acre).
Exhibit 3.3 -2 (C-R District Development Den sity
Plan), identifies the location of each density
designation within the C-R District.
The areas with the Low Density designation are
generally located wher e pl anned f uture
infrastructure improvements will not support more
intense development, or which are located further
from the area ’s attractions. Are as with the Low-
Medium and Medi um Density designations are
located where planned future infrastructure wi ll
be sufficient to accommodate these more intense
levels of development, and which are located
closer to the ma in attractions of The Anaheim
Resort. Areas immedi ately 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, pl ace
fewer demands on area streets, one of the most
important infrastructure factors th at tend to limit
development density. In addition, the Low
Medium (Modified) dens ity d esignation allows
252 hotel rooms and 75, 593 square feet of
commercial uses, which i s equivalent to 378
hotel rooms, at the southeast corner of Katell a
Avenue and Harbor Boulevard, the Medium
Density (Modified) density designation allow s 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 extens ive existing
development within The Anaheim Resort, the
ARSP contains provisions, which permi t 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

permitted by the density c ategory in which the
property is located.
The C -R District a lso encompasses properties
that have a Mobile Home Park (MHP) Overlay
designation, an Anaheim Resort Residential
(ARR) Overlay designat ion, a Theme Park (TP)
Overlay designation, and a Parkin g (P) Overl ay
designation.

3.3.3 Mobilehome Park (MHP) Overlay
The C -R Distric t includes three properties on
approximately 31.5 acres, whic h have a
Mobilehome Park (MHP) Overlay designation.
The MHP Overlay encompasses two existing
mobilehome parks and a recreati onal vehicle
(RV) Par k. The properties within the M HP
Overlay are subject to t he requirements set forth
in Chapter 18.26 of the Anaheim Municipal Code,
which provides development standards,
regulations, and procedures to mitigate relocation
problems and advers e effec ts of disp lacement
upon mobile home owners when a park is
converted to another land use. Exhibit 3.3 -3
(Mobilehome Park (MHP) Overlay in the C-R
District) identifies the parc els 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 ac res within the C -R
District, allows fo r conditionally permitted
residential uses in conjunction with the
development of a full service hotel having at least
300 hotel rooms and where (i) hotel u ses
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 g round level. Exhibit 3.3-4
(Anaheim Resort Residential (ARR) Overlay in
the C -R District) identifies the p arcels 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 Recreati on (P R) D istrict
(Development Area 2) encompasses the
Anaheim Convention Center and associated
parking complexes, and the 1,600 -room Hilton
Anaheim h otel. Development wi thin the PR
District can include up to 2,158,363 square feet
of conventi on center/meeti ng space ; 100,000
square feet of out door programmable space;
2,500 hotel rooms ; and 180,000 square feet o f
commercial space. Development wi thin this
district is subject to the requirements of the
Public Recreational (PR) Zone. The purpose of
the PR Zone, w hich is set forth i n Chapter 18.14
(Public and Special-Purpose Zones) of the
Anaheim Municipal Code, is to preserve, regulate
and control the orderly u se of City -owned
property and adjacent private prope rty. 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 incl udes 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 a nd 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 P roject and up to
3,348 hotel rooms , which a re allowed under the
ARSP. The TP West Overlay includes
approximately 5. 15 acres and currently
encompasses t he ex isting Pixar Pals Hotel and
associated parking structure. The TP West
Overlay allows development of up to 80,000
square feet of the me park uses permitted in the
DRSP as part of The Disneyland Resort Project
and up to 564 hotel rooms , whic h are allowed

3.3.8 Central Core Development
Standards
The third factor affecting land use within the
ARSP area are the additiona l development
standards applied to parc els in the heart, or
Central Core, of The Anaheim Resort. The
Central Core includes parcels with fronta ge on
Harbor Boulevard between I -5 and Orangew ood
Avenue, and all parcels with frontage on Katella
Avenue between Haster Street /Anaheim
Boulevard and Wal nut Street. For reasons
described in the next paragraph, the Cen tral
Core requires diffe rent standar ds 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 par cels 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 Re sort's major
attractions, the potential for pedestrian use is
greatest in this area. By making the Central Core
a more intere sting area to walk through, the
Central Core development standards will
encourage more people to leav e t heir cars and
walk, thereby improving vehicular traffic flow. The
uses ad jacent to these stret ches of road within
the ARSP area will also have a stronger visual
impression on the large number of vehic les that
pass through it each day.
Among the differences in development standards
between the Cent ral 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 s ince 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 min imum 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 provi de a
solid mass of landscape t o achieve the
same effect) in order to create a well-defined
"edge" for the street. No such restrictions will
apply to parcels outside t he Central C ore;
and,
• Special Landscaped Intersections will be
required at the entrances t o The Anaheim
Resort and the c enter of the Central Core to
create an edge and orient the pedestrian
visually.
These special development standards for the
Central C ore are descr ibed in Sec tion 7. 0,
Zoning and Development Standards. Section 5.0,
Design Pla n, also contains guidelines which
distinguish one area from another.

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 s ubsections describe regional
improvements, which have an im pact on the
ARSP area. The improvement s described under
each of the remaining s ections 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 discussi on of the
existing conditions within the ARSP area.
4.1 Regional Circulation
Programs
Currently, several major facilities provide
vehicular ac cess 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, W alnut 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 t o be improved , in connection
with oth er 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/Anahei m Boulevard,
Gene Autry Way, and Orangewood Avenue
have been imp roved 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 identifi ed 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, O range County's Measu re M funds, City
Traffic Impact Fees, as well as other public and
private sources.
As part of DisneylandForward, which amends
The Disney land Resort Project, previously
contemplated extensions of Gene Autry Way
east of Harbor Boulevard to Haster Str eet and
Clementine Street from Kat ella 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 Resor t is located in an area that
has been served by public utili ties and facilities
for many years. As part of ongoing efforts to
improve the City's infrastructur e, new facilities
have been installed within the ARSP area, are
currently pla nned, or are underway. Some of
these (suc h as improvements to the regional
sewage treatment facilities) are planned to
proceed regardless of the ac tivity in the ARSP
area. Among the projects currently proposed are:
• Enlargement of sewers, or paral lel line s 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 w ater mains (16” in Harbor Blv d.
from Orangewood Ave. to Chapman Ave. )
and a new well to supply increased demand.
These projects are di scussed in greater detail in
SEIR No. 340.
4.3 Vehicular Circulation Plan for
the Anaheim Resort
Convenient automobile acces s to The Anaheim
Resort is an essential component to the success
of the area. Most visit ors will come to T he
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 Disneylan d Resort,
several improvemen ts to the area wide
circulation system have been implemented.
These improvements are more fully described in
The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan. Th e
following is a discussion of the circulation
improvements completed or proposed for The
Anaheim Resort inc luding those improve ments
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 Disneyla nd Resort
have been i mplemented. Approximately 70 % of
the visitors to The Disneyland Resort arrive on I-
5. Moving them on and off I-5 safely and
efficiently is accomplished in a variety of ways.
During the early stage of imp lementation of The
Disneyland R esort 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 facili ties 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 ex it conveniently
onto I-5. Ge nerally, 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 visi ting 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 t o
uses located in the east part of the ARSP area.
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 4.0 Public Facilities Plan PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT (MARCH 2024)

This sy stem keeps The Anaheim Resor t traffic
from congesting traffic on Katella Avenue.
Existing access patterns to surrounding
properties have generall y been maintained,
except that West Street was made i nto a cul -de-
sac south of Ball Road and renamed West Place.
In addition, Cerritos Ave nue has been relocat ed
approximately 1,000 feet north of its previous
location. The relocated street section is named
Magic Way and was cons tructed 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. T he system of
connections to I -5 that lead conveniently to area
uses contributes significantly to this objective. In
addition, improvements that hav e been
completed since the 1994 adopti on of the ARSP
or are proposed to be made to the local streets
will e nhance the overall vehicular circ ulation
within The Anaheim Resort . The street cross
sections described in this Section are typical mid-
block sections. They are not int ended to depict
every condition which may exist in the ARSP
area. Additionally, more det ailed infor mation
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 m ajor roads and streets within
the ARSP area. The spec ific improvem ents
proposed for each st reet are discussed on the
following pages. Exhibit 4.4 (Cross Section Street
Segments Within The Anaheim Resort ) depicts
the segments of the designated road cross
sections, which correspond to the proposed
improvements described for t he 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 b etween Anaheim Boulevard and
Harbor Boulevard has two to three travel lanes in
each direction, e xcept at Anaheim Boulevard
and Clementine Street where the street has been
widened to provide supplemental turning lanes.
Classified a s 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 Disneyl and 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 f rom a six-lane
Major Arterial to a four-lane Primary Arterial (with
no change to the width of the ult imate public
right-of-way). This allows Di sney Way to be
reduced from three to t wo through travel lanes
between Anaheim Boul evard and Harbor
Boulevard.
As part of DisneylandForward, the eastbound
travel lanes for D isney Way east of Clementine
Street will be modified to provide an exit
ramp/flyover from t he public parking f acility
located within the East Parking Area of the
Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Parking District.
With the approval of DisneylandForw ard, t he
following roadway improvements associated with
the East Parking Facility within the Disneyland
Resort Specific Plan will occur within the ARSP:
• Reconfiguration of Di sney Way /Clementine
S
treet to accommodate the East Parki ng
A
rea parking facility exit ramp/flyover;
• Disney Way/Clementine Street i ntersection
i
mprovements to accommodate the East
Parking Area parking facility exit ramp;
• Reconfiguration of the west side of
Manchester Avenue, north of Di sney Way to
accommodate a Class I bicycle facility.

adoption of Amendment No. 17
(DisneylandForward) to the ARSP, the C ity
adopted a G eneral Plan Amendment to re move
the planned future extension of Clementine
Street between Katella Avenue and Orangewood
Avenue in the south.
Prior to DisneylandForward , the Disneyland
Resort S pecific Plan contemplated transit
improvements within the median for the segment
of Cle mentine Stree t betw een Disney Way and
Katella Avenue. As trans it improv ements within
the median are not contemplated as part of
DisneylandForward, all improvements to th is
street were co mpleted prior to
DisneylandForward. All street improvements to
this street were completed prior to Phase IV, with
the exception of potential fut ure 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 exis ting sidewalk on the west side o f
Clementine Street between Disney Way and Alro
Way with a multi- use Class I bi cycle facility. The
adjacent property owner(s) will dedicate the
required property t o the City to allow for the
minimum, adequate horizontal width for the multi-
use Class I bicy cle facility. Improvements
associated with DisneylandForward may also
include a traffic signal at Arlo Way. The timing for
installation of these im provements is identified in
Mitigation Monitoring Plan No. 387, associated
with DisneylandForward.

4.5 Transit Plans
To minimize autom obile tra ffic on local streets,
existing and proposed transit systems will service
uses within the ARSP area. The main component
of the existing sy stem is th e Orange County
Transit Authority (OCTA ) bus se rvice to the
ARSP area. Curr ent bus r outes are locat ed on
Harbor Boulevard , Kat ella A venue and Ball
Road, and provide re gular service to The
Anaheim Resort.
4.5.1 The Disneyland Resort
The Disneyland Res ort Specific Pla n transports
theme park visitors to the theme pa rks from
public day-use parking facilities vi a pedestrian
walkways, buses, tram ser vices 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 i s
contemplated to connect The Anaheim R esort
and the Anaheim Regional Transportation
Intermodal Center (ARTIC).
4.5.3 HOV Lane System
OCTA and Caltrans have developed a pl an to
construct a countywide system of transit ways
and commuter HO V l anes in freeway corr idors.
These facilities will be used by regional 'express'
buses, regular intercity buses, shuttle bus es,
vanpools, and carpools. Buses and other HOVs
would ac cess o r egress these facilities at
exclusive HOV ramps to stree ts or at designated
at-grade merge locations along freeways.
HOV lanes have been construct ed on I-5, State
Route (SR) 57, and SR 22, wi th a direct HOV
connection between SR -57 an d I -5. The HOV
interchange at Gene Autry Way allo ws access to
and from areas east and we st of I -5, includ ing
The Anaheim Resort and Angel Stadium of
Anaheim. As part of a long-term pro ject,
exclusive HOV ramps have been identified at
Cerritos Avenue on the SR-57.

4.6 Pedestrian Circulation Plans
An increase in the number of hotel rooms and the
development of new attr actions will in crease
pedestrian activity in Th e Anaheim Resort. Th is
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 Cir culation)
illustrates the pedestrian circulation system within
the ARSP area and the surrounding areas. O n
this plan, public pedestrian routes have been
identified. The primary destinations of
pedestrians w ithin The Anaheim Re sort will
include:
• Hotels, restaur ants 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 Disney land Resort Specific
Plan and in the Theme P ark (TP) East and
West Overlays of the ARSP area; and
• The East and West Parking Areas of The
Disneyland Resort Speci fic Pla n Parking
District.
Exhibit 4.6-2 (Pedestrian and Vehicular Acces s
Points) depicts t he pedestrian and ve hicular
access points , asso ciated with
DisneylandForward, within the A RSP Theme
Park East and Parking Overlays. This exhibit
also describes the locations of existing and
potential bridges. Areas wher e pedestrian
bridges may be i nstalled serve as a key
connector over public street rights-of-way,
connecting users from one side of the street to
the other without having t o impede tr affic flow.
Pedestrian bridges were constructed over
Disneyland Drive and Magic Way in the DRSP .
Up to two addit ional pedestrian br idges or
crossings will be constructed over Disneyland
Drive as part of D isneylandForward. At least one
and up to three pedestrian bridges will be
constructed over Harbor Boulevard , at least one
of w hich will be constructed in con junction with
construction of a parking fac ility w ithin 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 Distr ict. Any pedestrian bridges constructed
over public right-of-way will be required to obtain
an encroachment license f rom the City.

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 w ith
several adopted documents that describe design
concepts for the ARSP area. These documents
include The Di sneyland Resort Speci fic 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 a nd The Disneyl and Resort Specific
Plan, both specific plans descri be in detail the
design of the public streets, as well as the
treatment of se tback 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 res ult, there is an
overlap in the information contained in both
specific plans along the border be tween the two
areas. For example, the description and
illustrations of the design concept for H arbor
Boulevard appear in both specific plans.
On Septe mber 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 prov ides
a general overview of the different landscape
treatments that will help create a unifying resor t
identity.
The ARSP is also consistent with The Ana heim
Resort Identity Program approved by the City
Council by adoption of Res olution No. 94R -238.
Subsequent amendments have been adopted as
described in the Program document on file in the
City of Anahei m Planning and Bui lding
Department. The Anaheim Resort Identit y
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 C oncept
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 supplem ents the
Zoning and Development Standards contained in
Section 7.0 in the following ways. First, it
describes th e fundamental design ideas and
concepts that are the basis for the standards and
regulations. This description of the basic
concepts will assi st in the interpretat ion of the
intent of the ARSP in situations where several
options may be consistent with the regulations.
Also, it contains de sign guidelines that would be

considered too general to be standards or
regulations but convey useful inform ation about
the character a nd quality of development
anticipated within the ARSP area. Finally, this
Section con tains sketches , cross-sections and
photos that show what the physi cal appearance
of important conditions in the ARSP area should
be if the standar ds, regulations, and gui delines
are implemented in accordance with this section
and Section 7.0. By showing how the two work
together, the inten t 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 achiev e three
principal design objectives. They are:
• Create visual cont inuity between the ARSP
area and the adjacent Disneyland Resort
Specific Plan area;
• Create a high qualit y, visually appealing,
pedestrian-oriented environment;
• Create landscape and des ign standards and
regulations to r einforce the area's identity ;
and,
• Enhance Public Views of the Theme Parks,
including Back -of-House Uses , From Public
Walkways and Streets.
The following ar e 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 A RSP 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 s mooth
transition from the A RSP area and The Dis -
neyland 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 AR SP ar ea. With the
development of Disney’s California Advent ure
theme park and new them e p ark attractions
within the ARSP area, construction of the new
public parking facilities in The Disneyland Resort,
and the increase in the num ber 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 Conv ention
Center will a lso cont ribute significant ly to t he
increase in pedestrians. This will help support an
active street environm ent fo r s hopping, 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
PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT (MARCH 2024)
5-3
• Establishing the size and location of
pedestrian walks;
• Defining the type of landscape nec essary 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 Des ign Plan also provide s l andscape
guidelines for the setback areas and along the
public streets that pass through the center of the
ARSP area in order to reinfor ce the ov erall
consistency of the area's identi ty. The setback
landscape will also help provide a continuity ele-
ment i n front of existing buildings that have a
variety of ar chitectural styles. In addi tion, the
Design Plan includes des ign guidelines intended
to s upport 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 par k 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 mak e 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 varyi ng
design elements based on height and visibility
from public walkways and streets in ord er to
enhance the experience of visitors outside of and
leading up to the theme park uses.
5.2 Design Concepts
The c oncepts described below ar e th e basic
design policies for th e ARSP area and form the
basis f or implementation of the Design Plan.
They address the objectives of the Des ign Plan
described in Section 5.1, Design Plan Objectives,
and include a description of the important site
factors that will affect implem entation 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 wil l be the streetscape,
which includes trees and shrubs, as well as man-
made elements such as light fixtures, benches,
entry gateways, and signs. Setback areas on
private land between the publ ic str eet and
buildings are also important in this
transformation. In s ome instances, the vi sible
portions of buildings and private land behind the
setbacks w ill 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 t o create a unified identity . In a ddition,
many of the streets wit hin The Anaheim Resort
are wide and provide important regional
circulation l inkages. Finally, the number o f
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
PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT (MARCH 2024)
5-4
as a world- class destination resort . T he D esign
Plan proposes creating a grand scale pr imarily
with large-scale landscape planti ngs 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 Specifi c Plan area will
experience the area's streets at some time during
their visit, either from automobiles, other vehicles
(such as the pedestria n and/or transportation
system(s) or monorail discussed in The
Disneyland Resort Spe cific 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 landsc aping can be placed t o transform
the identity of The Anaheim Resort. Where new
rights-of-way are being created, s ufficient space
will b e 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 g reat dis tances and lac k familiarity with
Anaheim and The Anaheim Resort. These
visitors need well -defined visual cues that ori ent
them to their location within the area. In addition,
there is great variety in t he different uses and
functions of the spaces within t he ARSP area,
and the scale of the spaces often varies as well.
The Design Plan diff erentiates the major streets
within the ARSP area by establishing landscape
treatments that wil l help create a uni que
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 esta blishes an
area known as the Central Core, which will have
special design standards . It includes par cels
located on Harbor Boulevard between Intersta te
5 and O rangewood Avenue, and on Katella
Avenue between Interstate 5 and Walnut S treet.
For parcels adjacent to Harbor Boulevard and to
Katella Avenue, special design standards will
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 5.0 Design Plan
PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT (MARCH 2024)
5-5
apply to setbacks and s treetscape treat ments
that are different from other locations in The
Anaheim Resort.
5.2.6 Coordinate Streetscape
Improvements with Other Improvements
The cons truction of the streetscape
improvements in the ARSP area will be
coordinated to the extent feasible wi th public and
private improvements, such as the
undergrounding of utilities. The intent is to install
public streetscape improvement s as soon as
possible, w hile minimizing the need to disrupt
these improvements once they have been
installed.
5.2.7 Establish a Clear Design Hierarchy
The ARSP specifies three dis tinct leve ls 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 control s, and that
the des ign of less vi sually 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
Areas within the ultimate public r ight-of-way are
called the Public Realm. Thi s 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 S etback and Private Realm concepts
are regulat ed for the respective specific p lan
areas by t he Anaheim Resort and Disneyland
Resort Specific Plans. The Setback Realm
includes the private property between the
ultimate right -of way and the requi red m inimum
building setback. Since these areas are not qui te
as signifi cant to the overall char acter of the
ARSP area as the Public Realm, the pl an
provides for more flexibility in their design. The
Private Realm, which includes areas behind
building set backs adjacent to public streets, is
guided by design crite ria that are the most
flexible of the three realms, but still contain
important design guidelines intended to enhance
the overall identity of the ARSP a rea.
Development of the Private Realm will occur with
less predictability than the other Realm s, 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 Pl an describes t he
landscape design principles for t he 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 planti ng
design gui delines for the public streets and
adjacent setbacks, whi ch the Plan calls the
Public Realm and the Setback Real m. The
Landscape Conc ept Di agram (Exhibit 3.9-1 of
The Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape
Program) shows how the principles have been
applied to the impor tant streets in The Anaheim
Resort. Section 5.4, Landscape Cross Sections ,
illustrates the basic landscape design principles.

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 landsc ape design concepts, and,
unless needed to illustrate a concept described in
the text, do not contain dimensions or other
detailed information about st reet right -of-way
widths or minimum setback dimensions. Informa-
tion about street rights -of way and minim um
setbacks can be found in Section 4.3, Vehicular
Circulation P lan, 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 criteri a 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 i s
supplemented by a detai led 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 est ablish 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 vir tually no list of plants that could be
developed that would completely satisfy all of
these c onditions. The intent is to provide a list
from which plants can be selected that will
provide the best plant s to r espond to the n eeds
of different uses/functions in the ARSP area, as
well as the fle xibility to b e 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 s ize and
widespread pr esence in the street rights -of-way
and setback areas. The following describes the
different types of tree forms that wil l be used
throughout the ARSP area, and the c riteria that
will be used to determine how they will be used.
Small c anopy trees: Small c anopy trees are
intended for use where it is desirable to creat e a
more inti mate 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 separ ation betwee n trees f rom one side of
the street to anot her (or from a parkway to a

median planting) is thirty feet or greater, small
canopy trees should always be c ombined with
medium or large canopy trees.
S
mall canopy trees will have a mature height of
at least tw enty feet, but not more than forty feet.
Their mature spr ead will be approximately equal
to their height. Along streets with regularly
spaced trees, small cano py trees will b e planted
at a rate of one tree for each twenty to thir ty
lineal feet of frontage; spreading trees may
require a somewhat wider spacing.
M
edium 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 w ill not
typically excee d sixty feet. Their mature spread
will approxim ately 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 t hirty-five lineal feet of
frontage; spreading t rees may r equire a
somewhat wider spacing. Medium canopy trees
may be used on local or sec ondary streets but
should not be used alone on arterial roads or
other streets grea ter th an sixty feet wide unless
there is a landscaped median.
Exhibit 5.3-1 Medium Canopy Trees
Lar
ge 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 element s
that create a strong, positive visual impr ession.
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 spr ead will typically be 50% to
75% of the h eight. Along streets with regularly
spaced trees, large canopy trees will be planted
at a rate of one tree for each thirty to for ty lineal
feet of frontage; spreading trees may require a
somewhat wi der spacing. Larg e canopy trees
may also be used in setback areas that exceed
twenty feet in width and may be planted in
masses.

Vertical and Pyramidal trees : Vertical trees
have a m ature hei ght that dramatically exceeds
their mature width. Vertical trees will have a r atio
of height to width not less than 4:1, but which
may (in the case o f certain var ieties o f p alm)
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 ulti mate size
and spread of the specific tree. When the primary
purpose i s screening, ver tical tre es will be
evergreen and will be s paced so that the mature
trees form a dense visual barrier. When used in
the Public Realm, vertical trees wil l generally be
used in combination with canopy trees, especially
areas with pedestrians, who will need ca nopy
trees to provide shade. Vertical trees are
especially useful in narrow setback ar eas 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, eas ily re cognizable
geometric patterns; and,
• Providing a dramatic ve rtical expression that
stands out from the surrounding landscape.
Pyramidal trees have a characteristic shape like
a pyramid, and benefit from hav ing space that
permits their lower branches to touch the ground.
Many needle -leafed evergreens, such as pine
and cedar trees, belo ng t o this category.
Pyramidal trees will be used as screens, as
large-scale backd rop, in fo rmal rows within
setbacks, or, where space perm its, as large
specimens.
Exhibit 5.3-3 Vertical and Pyramidal Trees
5.3.1.3 Shrub, Vine and Ground Cover
Selection and Use Criteria
This subsection ex plains the role that will be
played by shrubs, vines and ground cover to
support the bas ic desi gn established by the
trees.
Shrubs: Shrubs will serve s everal 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 p rovide 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 t o direct pedestrian and vehicular traffi c;
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 sh rub spec ies with varying
heights will be uti lized to create an identity and
diversity within the planting palette in order to not
be dominated by a si ngle s pecies. Shrubs will
often appear as either loose (unclipped) or formal
(clipped) hedges of consistent height . Shru bs
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 exa mple, cling ing 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 app earance at the
pedestrian level and will be used in planters
on parking facilities or other buil dings. Vines
will also be used on garden structures such
as arbors and trellises, especially where
limited planting area precl udes a more
traditional planting of trees and shrubs; and,
• Establishing a sprawling ground cover in
large areas where the vine's grow th can be
contained in the available space.
Ground Cover: In addition to spreading, low
growing shrubs and sprawling vines, ground
covers in clude turf and other gra sses, low
growing annuals, and other varieties of plants
that do not generall y exceed t wo or three feet in
height at maturity. Large areas of landscape will
be planted with low water -using ground covers in
order t o reduce water usage and long- term
maintenance costs. The use of turf as a ground
cover will be lim ited to pa rticular 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 su bsection describes i n more detail the
layered landscape concept and provides cri teria
that will be used to design areas in the Setback
Realm designated to ha ve a layered la ndscape
treatment.
Since planting in both the Public Realm and
adjacent Setback Realm will be needed to create
a layered lands cape, succes sful i mplementation
requires that planting in both reinforce eac h
other. As a result, setback landscaping will vary
depending on the trea tment of adjacent Public
Realm landscape.
Implementation of the layered landscape is most
important in two areas: along Katella Avenue and
Harbor Boulev ard, the two ma jor streets wit hin
the Central Core; as an additional device to
create a uni fied 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 ma terial.
Such effect ive art iculation for these buildings
would be difficult to pr ovide only w ith
architecture. While cons truction of the layered
landscape in the Public Realm will be achieved in
large continuous sections of street, layered
landscape in t he Setback Realm will be
constructed in smaller pieces as individual
parcels develop or are renova ted. Achievement
of the l ayered landscape look will depend on the
successful enforcement of the concept on
numerous parcels over a number of years.
The lengt h o f the stree t fronta ge of individual
parcels is the most important factor that wi ll
influence implementation of the layer ed
landscape. Parcel f rontages of more than five
hundred lineal feet are long enough to provide
the variation needed to create the layer ed
landscape look within a single parcel, while
frontages of less than t hree 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 Cr iteria 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 widt h of the landscape set back will also
affect the creation of the layered landscape. In
order to create a layered lands cape, there needs
to be at least two horizontal or two vertical layers
of landscape. This means t hat in narrow set-
backs (1 0-20 feet wide), the selection o f 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 th an 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 id entifies trees as a criti cal
element necessary to create a civic scale, and
trees are also needed to establish the layered
landscape envisioned for the Setback Realm.
Trees in t he setbacks adjacent to public s treets
also support the landscaping proposed f or the
Public Realm. Therefore, both the size and
number of trees, which are to be planted in the
Setback Realm are r egulated by the minimum
landscape requirement.
To permit fl exibility and desig n creativity in
landscape design, the minim um landscape
requirement recognizes that the effect of planting
many smaller sized trees is com parable to the
effect created by planting fewer large trees.
Therefore, the regulation allows f or var iation in
the s ize and number o f trees. However, the
Setback R ealm landsca ping adjacent to public
streets must also be in conformance with the
requirements identified in S ubsection 5.3.2,
Layered Landscape Design Criteria, which
requires a balanced number o f
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 ad jacent to some types of uses should
be different than the density adjacent to others.
The densest tree planting will be required
adjacent to res idential uses. Dense planting w ill
also be required when intended to s creen an
area as in the case adjacent to parking structures
or service areas. The least dense planting will be
required adjacent to the public r ight-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 T ree
Density Factor for each landscape area. To
establish the Tree Density Factor, all tr ees
planted i n the setback area s w ill 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 Fac tor for a ny 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 i ndicated in Table 5.3- 1 Levels of
Tree Density.

time of installation. Refer to the Plannin g
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
5 points
5-gallon tree (minimum tree size permitted
in the Setback Realm)
15 points 15-gallon tree
50 points 24-inch box canopy or vertical tree;
Washingtonia or Brahea species palm
with a trunk
125 points 36-inch box canopy or vertical tree;
Washingtonia or Brahea species palm
with a trunk ≤ 20 feet in height; Phoenix
species palm with trunk < 5 feet in height
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 t o s atisfy the land scape
requirements in the Design Plan.
Planning St andard Detail No. 10 identifies the
trees by street location and Exhibit 5. 4
(Landscape Cross Sections) identifies the
location of application. S ubsection 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 inf ormation 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 t he 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 indi cated use, and the absence of a dot
generally means that the plant sho uld 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 lar ger sizes (48” box, or larger). The
intent i s to perm it more flexib ility 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 t o be
landscaped and 80% of the t otal list of plants to
be used withi n 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 us ed within the Privat e Realm, wher e
visible from the publ ic right -of-way. Ensuring
similar and complementary tree, shrub s, 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 ove rall
appearance of The Anaheim Resort.

of the Public Realm, Setback Realm and Private
Realm on each public street in the ARSP area. In
this way they pr ovide 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 specifi c
components of each respective Realm.
The cross sections are not intended to illustrat e
every condition that may occur within or adjacent
to the str eet right -of-way, nor do they contain

5.5 Identity Concept Plan
The Anaheim Res ort Identity Program describes
how signs and ot her identity elements, such as
entry gateways and street furniture in the Public
Realm, and freestanding monument signs
identifying pri vate businesses in the Setback
Realm, will he lp create the unified environm ent
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 w ell a s th e
Freestanding Monument Sign D esign, described
in t he Anaheim Resort Identity Program are ap-
plicable to the entire Anaheim Resort.
This sign program for the A RSP will have the
following characteristics:
• Prior to ins tallation, plans will be prepared
which show the loc ation, sign type, and
message (or mes sages, 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 t he S etback Realm ha ve been
designed as a family of sign s with a con -
sistent design vocabulary; and,
• Consistent regulations for signs on private
property will make i t easier for visitors to
quickly find their destination.
Additional important in formation 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, De sign C riteria for the Pr ivate
Realm. Se ction 7. 0, Zoning and Development
Standards, contains the Anaheim Municipal Code
regulations w hich apply to signs in the ARSP
area.

5.6 Design Criteria for the Public
Realm
Exhibit 5.6-1 The Three Elements of the
Design Hierarchy: The Public Realm, The
Setback Realm, and the Private Realm
As described in Section 5.2.7, Establish a Clear
Design Hierarchy, the Design Plan divides the
ARSP area into t hree segments: the Publ ic
Realm, the Setback Realm, and the P rivate
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 inc ludes public street s, street
medians, parkways and s idewalks. Because of
its visual promi nence and becaus e development
of this segment will primarily b e implemented by
the City or other government agenc ies (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 R esort Pu blic Realm Landscape
and Identity Programs, with supplemental
information provided in this section.
The primary design emphas is in the Public
Realm is to provide a streetscape design that
implements the major design concepts described
in the pr eceding 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 im plementing a
consistent, high qualit y, streetsca pe treatment.
Virtually all who pass through the area will be
affected by the quality of the street environment.
The Public Re alm includes public streets wholly
within the ARSP area or public streets on the
border o f the Specific Plan area. Th e ARSP
describes all public streets contained wholl y or
partially within the ARSP area. The Disneyl and
Resort Specific Pl an also identifies the ultimate
right-of-way within its boundaries as the Public
Realm. The design concepts of streets within the
Disneyland Resort Specific Plan and the ARSP
have been designed to be compatible so that The
Anaheim Res ort, a s a whole will h ave a
consistent design and identity. The public streets
that are entirely outside the AR SP area ar e not
described in this document. In terstate 5, which is
located outside The Anaheim Resort, has been
included within the Public Realm becaus e of its
importance to the arriving visitor's experience.
Exhibit 5.6 -2 (The Public Realm ), shows the
extent of th e Public Realm throughout The
Anaheim Resort.

5.6.1 Gateways
Since many visitors will arrive in the area by
vehicle, the Spec ific Plan defines three different
types of gat eways that will be oriented primarily
to vehicles : Freeway Gateways , Arterial
Gateways and Vehicular Arrival Gateways. The
Specific Plan also contains a Pedestrian Arrival
Gateway that will be oriented primarily to
pedestrians. The design of t he gateways
reinforces the overal l id entity of The Anaheim
Resort accor ding to the Identi ty Concept Plan
described in Section 5.5 . The locations of the
Freeway Gateways, Arterial Road Gateways,
Vehicular Arrival Gateway, and Pedestrian Arrival
Gateway are shown on Exhibit 5.6 -3 (Gateway
Location Plan).
The following is a general description and guiding
principles for each of these major gateways.
5.6.1.1 Freeway Gateways:
The Plan identities three freeway gateways along
Interstate 5 as shown on E xhibit 5.6-3 (Gateway
Location Plan). They will be the fir st experience
of The Anaheim Resort for nearly 70% of arri ving
visitors and will be oriented primarily to vehicles.
Because most of the visitors to The Anaheim
Resort will be ar riving via Interstate 5, it has an
important role in creating and enhancing th e
overall Anahei m Resort identity. The d esign of
the Interstate 5 interch anges with Disneyland
Drive, Harbor Boulevard /Ball Ro ad, and Katella
Avenue/Disney Way will reinforce an d
complement the overall design objectives of the
Plan. Secondary carpool access to The Anaheim
Resort and Platinum Triangle is provided at Gene
Autry Way; however this interchange does not
include the sa me design consider ations as the
other major interchanges.
Each interchange is treated as a large-scale gar-
den easily perceived from veh icles tr aveling at
freeway speeds. To differentiate the interchanges
from one another, each features a distinct
landscape type found in Southern California. The
Disneyland Drive interchange is a temperate
garden, featuring vertical evergreen trees; the
Harbor Boul evard/Ball Road interchange, a
temperate/subtropical garden, featur ing large
flowering canopy & ver tical trees consis tent with
the Public Realm landscape on Harbor
Boulevard; and the Katella Avenue/ Disney Way
interchange, an arid garden, featuring succulent
and other plants chara cteristic of the Southern
California des erts. Plants are selected for their
drought tolerance to the extent feasible, as wel l
as their abi lity to create a visual impact and
identity.
The three pri mary Freeway arr ival gateways are
located at the Interstate 5 Katella Avenue/Disney
Way, Harbor Boul evard/Ball Road , and
Disneyland Drive interchanges, since the majority
of vehicles to The Anaheim Resort will use these
interchanges. The design concept fo r these
gateways extends the landscape treatment of the
adjacent Freeway interchange in The Anaheim
Resort until a smooth transition can be made to
the public streets.
The character of the freeway gateways will be
created primarily by landscaping, which may
consist of large-scale plantings of trees and
directional signs. Other features incorporated into
these gateways include:
• Night lighting which highlights the arriv al
experience;
• Architectural elements consist ent with the
other garden-like elements to be used in the
area; and,
• Identification signs to supplem ent the
directional signs.

5.6.1.2 Arterial Gateways:
Arterial gateways occur on Harbor Boulevard and
Katella Avenue near the edg es of the Cen tral
Core area. They are oriented primarily to vehicles
and include the following primary elements:
• Trellis-like archi tectural elements l ocated in
the median and/or parkways, depending on
local conditions;
• Trellis elements with the same appearance at
each location, though their arrangement may
vary;
• Trellis elements placed on a base which
reinforces the element's traditional character;
• Landscape on the ground features color and
large, uniform shrub masses, seasonal color,
or other similar landscape plantings;
• The gateways allow for the attachment of
flags and banners; the deploym ent of the se
elements is related to seasonal or event -
driven needs;
• The Anaheim Resor t logo is included in the
gateway; and,
• Night lighting highlight s the gateway aft er
sunset.
There are f our arterial road gateways, which are
described below. Additional information regarding
the arterial road gatew ays is provided in The
Anaheim Resort Identity Program.
5.6.1.2.1 Harbor Boulevard North
The Harbor Boulevard North gateway is locat ed
at the northern entry into the Central Core area. It
is located immediately south of the intersection of
Harbor Boulevard and Man chester Avenue.
Because of the constrictions in the parkways on
the east side of Harbor Boulevard, the garden
trellis architectural elements are lim ited solely to
the medians.
Exhibit 5.6-4 Harbor Boulevard North
Gateway
5.6.1.2.2 Harbor Boulevard South
The Harbor Bou levard South gateway is located
at the southern entry into the Central Core area.
It is located immediately north of the intersection
of Harbor Boulev ard and Orangewood Avenue.
To match the Harbor Boulevard North gateway,
the garden trellis archi tectural elements are
limited solely to the medians.
5.6.1.2.3 Katella Avenue East
The Katella Avenue East gateway is located west
of the intersection of Katella Avenue and
Anaheim Boulevard/Haster Street. The gateway
elements, including the garden -trellis
architectural el ements are placed in both the
median and 8 -foot parkway on either side of the
street. No elements span the street. The gateway
area be gins several hundre d feet west from the
intersection with H aster Street west of the left -
turn lane median.

5.6.1.2.4 Katella Avenue West
The Katella Avenue West gateway is located
east of the intersection of Katella Av enue and
Walnut Stre et. The g ateway elements, including
the gar den-trellis architectural elem ents, are
placed in both the median and 8- foot parkway on
either side of t he street. No elements span the
street. The gateway area begins immediately
east of the inter section unless there is a left-turn
lane for westbound tra ffic, in which cas e the
gateway area will begin immediately east of the
left-turn lane median.
Exhibit 5.6-5 Katella Avenue West
Gateway
5.6.1.3 Vehicular Arrival Gateways
There are tw o Vehicular Arrival Gat eways
located wi thin t he Specific Plan area. These
vehicular arriv al gateways include Harbor
Boulevard at the Theme Park East Overl ay
entrance and Manchester Av enue along the
Parking Overlay.
These Vehicular Arrival Gateway will be primarily
oriented to v ehicles but will also accommodate
pedestrians. To be compatible with the Arter ial
Gateways in The Anaheim Re sort Ide ntity
Program, the Vehicular Arrival Gateway may
include elements located in the parkways,
subject to the approval of the Planning and
Building D irector and Public Works Director .
Special landscape planting will enhance the se
gateway areas and may provide for p ageantry,
such as flags and banners. Special ar chitectural
features may span from one side of the street to
the other, or from parkways to medians. Night
lighting will be u sed during the evening to
enhance the gateway’s effect . Sign copy
identifying The Disneyland Resort may a lso be
included within the Vehi cular Arri val Gateways
and are regulated by Section 7.0, Zoning and
Development Standards. Any elem ents
constructed in the public right-of-way prior will be
required to obtain an encroachment agreement
from the City. A more detailed plan depicting th e
arrival areas in the pub lic right-of-way shall be
submitted for review and Public Works Director
for conformance with The Anaheim Resort
Identity Program.
5.6.1.3.1 Theme Park East Overlay Vehicular
Arrival Gateway
As part o f DisneylandForward, a new Vehi cular
Arrival Gateway is proposed along Harbor
Boulevard at the Theme Park East Overlay within
the Specific Pla n area. The Theme Park East
Overlay Vehicular Arrival Gateway will be located
on the east side of Harbor Boul evard at t he
intersection of Convention Way. This Vehicular
Arrival Gateway will be primarily oriented to
vehicles and include special landscape planting,
surrounding garden elements , and along with
pageantry and night lighting to enhance the
gateway’s effect.
5.6.1.3.2 Parking Overlay Vehicular Arrival
Gateway
As part of DisneylandForward, a new Vehicular
Arrival Gateway is proposed along Disney Way
between Clementine Street and Harbor
Boulevard and Manchester Avenue /Clementine
Street from Disney Way to the north boundary of
the Parking Overlay. Since the final configuration
of the DRSP East Parking Area has not yet been
determined, the precise configuration and
character of this gateway has no t yet been
established. However, the gateway elements
may include:
• The drop- off area adjacent to Harbor
Boulevard, whic h may be moved t o the

Area in conjunction with the construction
of a parking facility and at least one and
up to thr ee pedestrian bridges over
Harbor Boulevard;
• Landscape, architectural, and sign
elements that visitors entering the theme
parks will use and see;
• Pedestrian walkways and/or
transportation s ystem(s) which w ill move
people to the entry plaza; and,
• A Harbor Boulevard pedestrian crosswalk
in combination with at least one and up to
three pedestrian br idges over Harbor
Boulevard.
5.6.1.4 Pedestrian Arrival Gateway
Pedestrian Arrival Gateways occur between
public parking facilities and theme park entry
plazas, such as t he existing Pedestrian Arrival
Gateway on Harbor Boul evard in the Disneyla nd
Resort Specific Plan . They w ill be primar ily
oriented to pedestri ans and the gatewa y area
may include the entire e xperience from the
parking facility to the theme park entry. The
character of these gateways is related to the
theme park experience and may consist of
architectural, lighting, and landscape elem ents
which are organized to heighten the pedestrian’s
anticipation of enteri ng the theme park.
Informational and directional s igns, flags and
displays may be part of the gateway, as well as
marquee si gns intended to identif y t he theme
parks to pedestrians and vehicles . Sign copy
identifying The Disneyland R esort may also be
included within the Pedestrian Arrival Gateway
and are regulated by Section 7.0, Zoning and
Development Standards . A mor e detailed plan
depicting t he arrival areas in the public right-of-
way shall be submitted for revi ew and approval
by the Planning and Building Director, and Public
Works Directo r for conforman ce with The
Anaheim Resort Identity Program.
5.6.1.4.1 Theme Park East Overlay Pedestrian
Arrival Gateway
As part of Dis neylandForward, a new Pedestrian
Arrival Gateway is proposed along Harbor
Boulevard at the Theme Park East Overlay. The
Theme Park East Overlay Pedestrian Arrival
Gateway will be located on the east side of
Harbor Boulevard at the intersec tion of
Convention Way. It will include special landscape
planting, surrounding garden elements , and
pageantry and night lighting to enhance the
gateway’s effect.
5.6.2 Public Streets
Public streets are the bac kbone of the P ublic
Realm. The design concepts for the publ ic
streets are described in The Anaheim R esort

5.7 Design Criteria for the Setback
Realm
The Setback Real m inclu des the required
structural set back a rea b etween the Public and
Private Realms. The primary role of th e Setback
Realm is to support the design objectives for
ARSP area by reinf orcing the design of t he
streets. The setback areas vary signi ficantly in
width, use and character. Consequently, the
design guidelines for the Setback Realm var y
depending on t hese fa ctors. Visual cons istency
will be achieved by application of the commo n
landscape vocabulary, such as the lay ered
landscape concept described in preceding
sections, and the regularity of the l andscape
treatment along the ad jacent public streets. The
widths of the s etback areas are identi fied in
Section 7.0, Zoning and Development Standards.

5.7.1 Exterior Lighting
The following guidelines apply to exter ior lighting
in the Setback Realm or where visi ble from t he
public right-of-way.
• Special accent l ighting may illuminate unique
architectural details where appropr iate, but
such l ighting should be focused and used
sparingly.
• Multi-colored lights may only be used
sparingly.
• Landscape lighting, including tree uplights ,
small bare-bulb incandescent light s, "twinkle"
lights, and other si milar lighting effects are
encouraged to add a glittering or specular
effect to supplement the indirect nature of the
rest of the Specific Plan area's night lighting.
Requirements for exterior lighting are found in
Section 7.0, Zoning and Development Standards.
5.7.2 Freestanding Monument Sign
Guidelines
The major sign element in the Setback Realm is
the freestanding monument sign for i dentification
of private busi nesses. Si nce these signs a re
designed to reinforce the identity of The Anaheim
Resort, a similar trellis vocabulary is used.
The plan provides for f reestanding monument
signs to be located within the Setback Realm.
These signs are intend ed to identify particular
uses or pr operties. The Anaheim Resort Identity
Program ( Appendix C) and Section 7.0, Zoning
and De velopment Standard s, co ntains design
criteria, which regulate the location, size,
appearance and message of these signs.

Exhibit 5.7-3 Freestanding Sign Design
Criteria
Freestanding monument signs are located in the
Setback R ealm to provide a primary source of
business identification for all categories of
commercial enterprise. They are part of the
identity elements for The Anaheim Resort and as
such co ntribute to the u nifying effect of the
overall identity sign and streetscape program.
5.7.3 Central Core
The principal objective within the Setba ck Realm
in the Central Core is to create a consist ent, high
quality pedestrian environment that reinforces the
character established by the landscape and other
street el ements contained in the Pu blic Realm.
Generally, these objectives are achieved by:
• Building massing that defines the street edge
in a consistent manner;
• Limiting the extent of the area devoted to the
automobile;
• Special intersection landscape tr eatment fo r
intersections in the Central Cor e as we ll as
other major entrances in The Anaheim
Resort;
• Planting design which is compatible with the
treatment of the adjacent Public Realm
• Limiting the variety of outdoor lighting effects;
and,
• Consistent size, placement and treatm ent of
signs.
Requirements for the Central Core are contained
in Section 7.0, Zoning and Development
Standards. Exhibit 5.7 -4 (Basic Central Core
Design Principles) is a diagram, which illu strates
the basic Central Core design principles. The
following guidelines provide property owners with
additional recommendations for this area.

5.7.3.1 Central Core Architectural
Guidelines
Property owners are encouraged to a rticulate
building masses adjacent t o the right-of-way with
elements such as:
• R ecesses in windows and door openings.
• Variations in building height.
• Balconies and awnings.
• Buildings with distinct l ayers—a base, a
middle and a top.
5.7.3.2 Central Core Circulation and Parking
Guidelines
The following ci rculation and parking gui delines
are intended to enhance the pedestrian
experience:
• Eliminate curb cuts and driveways that
disrupt the flow of pedes trians whenever
feasible; elim inate r edundant ac cess
driveways to the same parcel or con solidate
driveways on adjacent parcels.
• The maximum width of a driveway should not
exceed twenty-eight (28) feet.
• Entry to hotel parking areas (including those
located under buildings) and surface parki ng
lots may be directly from the adjacent Central
Core street provided such entry is n ot more
than 28 feet wide and is less than 20% of the
width of the property.
• The maximum number of curb cuts per lot
should adhere to the following:

5.7.3.3 Central Core Landscape Guidelines
The landscape character of the Setback Realm in
the Central Core should support the "garden
district" im age of The Anaheim Resort, t he
landscape of the adjacent Public Realm and the
underlying layered-landscape concept described
earlier in S ubsection 5.3.2, Layered Landscape
Design Criteria. Where there is adequate space
and the scale is appropriately grand, trees should
be planted in a way that cr eates large -scale
horizontal and vertical layers.
Special intersection landscape treatment , as
depicted in Exhibit 5.7 -8 (Special Intersec tion
Landscape Treatment) , is required and further
described in Section 7.0, Zoni ng and
Development Standards, for th e fol lowing
intersections, which are either entry points to The
Anaheim Resort or major intersections within this
area. All of these intersections ar e within the
Central Core excep t f or th e B all Road
intersections:
• Harbor Boulevard and Manchester Avenue;
• Harbor Boulevard and Orangewood Avenue;
• Katella Aven ue and Anaheim Boulevard/
Haster Street;
• Katella Avenue and West Street;
• Ball Road and West Street/Disneyland Drive;
and,
• Ball Road and West Place.
The criteria for the Harbor Boulevard and Katella
Avenue Intersection Area are located in Section
7.0, Zoning and Development Standards and
Section 1.5 of The Anaheim Resort Public Realm
Landscape Program and are generally depicted
in Exhibit 5.7 -9 (Harbor Boulevard/Katella
Avenue Intersection Area).

5.7.4 Areas Outside of the Central Core
In the areas of the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan
outside of the Central Core, the intent of the
Design Plan is to permit flexibility in site planning,
architectural design, location of parking areas,
and landscape design. The design standards for
this area are contain ed i n Section 7 .0, Zoning
and Development Standards.

The Private R ealm inclu des the privatel y-
owned property not included in the Setback
Realm described in the previous section. It
encompasses all of the developable area of
a parcel. Although the Private Realm is less
visually pr ominent than the Public Realm
and the Set back Realm , the design
guidelines contained in this section and t he
design standards contained in Section 7.0,
Zoning and Development Standards , are
intended to help strengthen the over quali ty
and cha racter of dev elopment in the
Specific Plan area. The design guidelines
and standards serve two main purposes:
• To ensure high quality development
projects will occur over time by providing
uniform design criteria; and,
• To help minimiz e development costs by
reducing ambiguity about what type of
criteria will b e applied by the City when
evaluating specific development
proposals.
5.8.1 Organization of Private Realm
Design Standards and Guidelines
The design guidelines and design standards
provide both t he general design principles
and t he specific regulations that will guide
the design of pr ivate development pr ojects
within the Specific Plan area.
In this Section, "guidelines" are c onsidered
to be gener alized rules to be applied by
designers wit h discr etion and judgmen t to
the particular condition which they address .
They are intended to he lp guide des igners
to solutions that will enhance the qualit y of
development projects wi thin t he Specific
Plan area. They are not intended to provide
the only design solution to every condition a
designer might face, and should not
discourage creative and i nnovative
solutions. In situations where they apply,
however, they should be followed.
The term "standards" refers to regulations
found in Sec tion 7.0 of t he Anaheim Resort
Specific Plan (ARSP) and in Title 18 of the
Anaheim Municipal Code.
City staff and decision makers will use both
the guidelines and standards to e valuate
projects for conf ormance with the intent of
the Design Plan and the spec ific
requirements of the Anaheim M unicipal
Code.
5.8.2 G eneral Site Planning
Guidelines
Site pla nning is the proce ss of arra nging
buildings, landscaped areas, circulation,
parking, and service areas on a parti cular
site. The f ollowing are recommended in
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 5.0 Design Plan
PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT (MARCH 2024)

addition to the requirements in S ection 7.0,
Zoning and Development Standards:
• Long, una rticulated build ing facades
should not b e pla ced adjacent to
portions of the Setback Realm adjacent
to public rights-of-way.
• Provide landscape buffers between
different land uses.
• Orient at l east one public e ntry t oward
major streets.
• Provide direct pedest rian access from
public w alkways to b uildings, where
appropriate.
• Provide secondary entr ies to buildings
from parking areas or interior pedestrian
walks.
• Design buildings to allo w pedestrians to
circulate around buildings wit hout
stepping into vehicular driveways.
• Provide pedestrian circulation between
adjacent com mercial properties where
appropriate.
• Provide recipr ocal ease ments between
adjacent proper ties for shared
driveways and pa rking aisle
connections.
Exhibit 5.8-2 Landscape Buffer

5.8.3 Service, Storage and
Maintenance Areas and Loading
Docks Guidelines
Although service, storage and maintenance
areas and loading docks are important to
the smooth function of use s within the
Specific Plan ar ea, they are not
aesthetically compat ible wit h the planned
resort and entertainment area s. These
areas should be i ncorporated into the main
building whenever possible.
It is impo rtant that th e requirements in
Section 7.0, Zoni ng and Development
Standards be followed so t hat these areas
do not detract from the visual quality of the
Specific Plan area.
Exhibit 5.8-3 (Screen S ervice Areas from
View) demonstrates how these areas
should be screened.

5.8.4 Exterior Lighting Guidelines
Nighttime illuminat ion of buildings is
important in creating an interesting and safe
environment. In additi on, it can highlight
building design fea tures, add emphasis to
prominent entrances and plazas, and create

an ambiance of v itality and security. In
addition to the requirements of Section 7.0,
Zoning and Development Standards, the
following guidelines suggest ways in which
these purposes can best be served.
• Relate exterior lighting t o t he design
elements of the site and build ing t hey
serve. Lighting should highlight archi-
tectural elements and details and not
entire walls.
• Design exterior lighting to be an inte gral
part of the overall architectural concept.
Fixtures, standards and all ex posed
accessories should be harmonious with
the building design and the visual
environment. Obtrusive lighting
elements that detract fr om th e
appearance of their setting should be
avoided.
• Illuminate the entrances of buildings and
parking areas to pro mote conveni ent,
safe and easy identification.
• Ext erior lighting within private
development should complement and
not conflict with public lighting.
• Consider energy co nservation in
nighttime lighting plans. Plans for the
design and operation of lighting and
illumination should be deve loped
consistent w ith the latest technical and
operational energy c onservation con-
cepts.
• Include exterior lighting of pedestrian
walkways within priv ate developm ent.
Pedestrian walkway lighting l evels
should be set relative t o the level of
security necessary
The guidelines shown in Table 5.8-1
(Allowable Li ghting Level s by Level of
Security), are averages. Higher lighting
levels ma y be nec essary to provide f or
safety, subject to the approval of the City.

5.8.5 Surface Parking Area
Guidelines
Parking lot design is a critical factor in the
success or f ailure of a commercial use. In
considering the possibilities for development
of a p arking area, the following factors wi ll
be analyzed: ingress and egress; avoidance
of pedestrian and vehicular conf licts;
conflicts w ith st reet traffic; and the overall
configuration and appearance of the parking
area.
The following guidelines are in addition to
the requirements of Section 7.0, Zoning and
Development Standards:
• If future e xpansion i s cont emplated,
areas should be reserved for parking
expansion and indicat ed as suc h on
plan submittals.
• Shared parking should be
accommodated between adjacent
parcels when appropriate.
• Avoid h eavily-textured pavi ng t hat may
create a difficult walking surface.
• Provide pavement strength of all parking
areas consis tent with the expected
traffic.
• Discourage surface parking (excluding
short-term parking associated with hotel
drop-off a reas) betw een the street
setback and a building/struct ure within
one hundred feet of a street intersection,
as m easured from the ultimate right- of-
way line. (Surface parking is prohib ited

5-65
in the Central Core between the front
setback and the building/structure.)
• Locate parking areas to the rear or, if no
space is av ailable, to the side of
buildings, whenever possible.
• Design parking facilities in a manner
such that any vehi cle on the property
will be able to maneuver to exit from the
property traveling in a forward direction.
• Design parking facilities so that a ca r
within a parking area wi ll not have to
enter a street to move from one loca tion
to another within the same site.
• Use landscape areas, walkways, and
plazas to reduc e the visual im pact of
large surface parking areas.
• Encourage right angle (90°) parking
stalls to minimize to tal su rface parking
area.
• Design parking areas so that
pedestrians walk parallel to moving
cars.
• Minimize situations where pedestrians
must cross parking ai sles at ri ght
angles.
• Design the parking lot so that drive
aisles are perpendicular to th e main
building wherever feasible.
• Direct vehicular circulation through a
parking area to the outer edge of t he lot
where there is less pedestrian traffic.
• Direct vehi cular circ ulation away fr om
fire lanes.
• Design the parking area to link the
building to a sidewalk syste m that is an
extension of the pedestrian walk system
through the use of design elements
such as painted or en hanced paving,
architectural features, and/or landscape
treatments.
• Minimize the number o f e ntrances and
exits to reduce conflicts at entries and
lessen possibl e c ongestion at street
intersections.

5.8.6 Parking Structure Guidelines
Parking structures wil l be found t hroughout
the ARSP area, an d their design is an
important consideration in the ov erall visual
quality of T he Anaheim Resort. The design
guidelines in this s ection and the
requirements in S ection 7.0, Zoning a nd
Development Standards are intended t o
assure that park ing structur es incorporate
design features, which make them mo re
attractive.
• Consider allowing c limbing vines t o
grow on t he surfaces of parking
structures on elevations of the s tructure
that face public streets.
• Consider adding plant ers for hanging or
climbing vines on the elevations of the
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 5.0 Design Plan

structure that face public streets.
• Consider stepping back parking
structures above t he fourth level on
elevations adj acent t o a publi c stree t,
when such structures exceed four levels
in height. If a parking s tructure has
frontage adjacent to two or more public
streets, co nsider s tepping t he s tructure
back on the street with the highest traffic
volume.
• Consider creating openings in the upper
decks that all ow light to lower levels for
parking structu res that are only one or
two levels a bove grade, and permit
trees to be planted on grade unde r th e
openings that, when mature, will e xtend
above the structure.
• Parking levels ma y be st epped or
terraced to visuall y soften the ov erall
mass of the structure.
• Parking s tructure fac ade articulat ion
should:
o Create a sense of order through play
of light, shadow and texture.
o Minimize horizontal or vertical
banding by balancing both vertic al
and horizontal elements.
o Use openin gs, c olumns and beams
to visually segment exterior surface
and provide scale.
o Spandrels are to be lev el and
uniform when feasible.
o Differentiate pedestrian an d
vehicular entrances.
• Building design should employ clean,
simple, geomet ric for ms and
coordinated m assing that produce
overall unity, s cale and int erest.
Appropriate treatments include:
o Straightforward geometry.
o Unified composition.
o Delineation of floo r le vels and
structure.
o Solid parapets.
• Facades should ref lect a coordinated
design concept, including portrayal of
building function, st ructure and scale.
Appropriate treatments include:
o Straightforward, functional design.
o Expression of structure with columns
and beams.
o Unity a nd scale reinforced through
an integrated grid module.
o Surface delineati on th rough use of
reveals, mullions and recesses.
• Detailing sh ould be clean, c lear and
straightforward. Details shoul d reinforce
overall d esign unity, interest and scale.
Appropriate treatments include:
o Coordinated mullions and details.
o Delineation and alignment of
structural connections
o Finishes commensurate with
building materials.
o Coordinated entry spac es and
landscaping.
• Street facades should be designed to be
visually int eresting and screen parked
cars from exterior views.
• Avoid horizontal banding.
5.8.7 Building Appearance
Guidelines
Building appear ance guid elines in this
section and the requirements in Section 7.0,
Zoning and D evelopment St andards
address the f ollowing elements: massing,
shape, scale, and materials. The inte nt of
these guidelines and standards is to assure
a harmonious relations hip between
buildings in the ARSP area without requiring
a particular architectural theme. This can be
achieved by car eful attention to building
massing, building mater ials and color. The
guidelines in this secti on are i ntended to
apply to both new constructi on and
renovation of existing buildings.
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 5.0 Design Plan
PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT (MARCH 2024)
5-67
Existing buildings may need more latitude in
the interpretation of these guidelines
because of the limited opportunities to make
fundamental changes in bui lding mass ing,
for example, than would be possible in new
construction.
5.8.8 360-Degree Architectural
Treatments
As part of DisneylandFor ward, design
guidance for on-site buildings and structures
visible from the public right -of-way and from
abutting residentially -zoned properties, is
provided in DRSP Section 5.7.9, 360-
Degree Archit ectural Trea tments. In the
Anaheim Resort Specific Plan area, 360 -
Degree Architectural Treatments is
applicable to the Theme Park Overlay; refer
to the Disney land Resort Specific Plan for
applicable guidelines. The 360-Degree
Architectural Treatments criteria applies if it
has been determined through a sight -line
study submitted to the Planning and
Building Department that a proposed
building or struct ure will be visible by a 6 -
foot tall person from the furthest point of the
ultimate public right -of-way on the opposite
side of the street or from a point 400 feet
from th e property line on perpendicular
streets, as detailed in DRSP Section 7.0,
Zoning and Development Standards.
Application of the design criteria for the
highest height range for a proposed building
or structure, in lieu of criteria for the lower
height ranges, will be required all the way to
grade unless the Planning and Building
Director determines by review of a sight-line
study that the fencing/walls and landsc ape
buffers provided will adequately scr een
views of the proposed building or structure
in the lower height range(s) from the public
right-of-way.
In the Theme Par k East Overlay and the
DRSP Southeast District , buildings or
structures adjacent to the abutting
residentially-zoned properties, application of
the Greater than 30- Foot up to 50 -Foot
Height Level design criteria will be required
for surfaces above 20 feet.
5.8.9 Building Massing
Creating att ractive build ing masses is an
important factor contributing to t he overall
character of the Specific Plan area. The
intent of the guidelines is to prom ote
building mas s that is rich visua lly and
creates a more ex citing and varied urban
landscape, but does not place too much
importance on any single building.
Buildings, which have a lar ge
undifferentiated mass are often unattractive,
and detract from the Specific Plan's goal of
encouraging more pedestrian act ivity,
because thei r size and scale make pe-
destrians feel uncomfortable.
The following guidelines are intended t o
guide designers in creating building masses
that satisfy the goals of the Specific Pl an. It
is not nece ssary that every guideline be
employed in t he design of every buil ding;
rather, each guideline shoul d be v iewed as
a suggestion that should be consider ed for
any building in the Specific Plan area.
• Create spaces with buil ding masses,
whenever possible; avo id cr eating
building masses which a re perceived as
objects.
• Design bui ldings to be members of a
harmonious group, rather than
independent, sculptural masses.
• Use buil ding mass to enhanc e the
pedestrian scale of the street. Increase
the articulation of building massing adja-
cent to major pedestria n walks and
gathering places. I ncrease landscape
and ar chitectural detail at the gr ound
level.
• Consider the location, size and scale of
neighboring buildings when massing
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 5.0 Design Plan
PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT (MARCH 2024)
5-68
new buildings. Create a harmonious
relationship between ad jacent facilities ,
regardless of whether or not they a re on
the same parcel.
• Articulate the different parts of a building
facade using color, arrangem ent of
facade elements, a change in mate rials,
or other architectural devices.
• Vary the height of the building so that it
appears to be divided into dist inct
elements.
• Use rooflines to help establish the mass
of a building; whenever feasi ble, t he
form of the roofline should physically
represent its function; avoid mansard
roofs.
5.8.10 Building Materials and Colors
The intent of t hese gui delines is to
encourage the us e of mate rials and colors
that en hance the physical cohesiv eness of
the area, and to convey a s ense of
permanence. Although no particular
material is specifically prohibited, the use of
some m aterials is discouraged bec ause i t
would be di fficult to achieve the guidelines'
goal of p romoting cohesiveness and
permanence.
5.8.10.1 Walls
• The preferred dominant material for
walls is masonry in any of the f ollowing
forms: natural stone (including granite,
sandstone, marble a nd limestone),
brick, stucco, poured in place or precast
natural concrete (sa ndblasted, textured,
or exposed aggregate), and painte d
concrete.
• Wall materials that may be used with
care include:
o Split fac e, sl ump, or other forms of
concrete block.
o Shingle, clapboard, vertical, or
angled wood siding.
• Use of the foll owing mater ials will
require a special design solution or
other unique c ondition in order to be
successful:
o Exotic wood treatm ents, such as
distressed wood, pecky cedar , log
cabin look, stained f ir plywood, or
gingerbread filigree.
o Reflective (mirror) glass curtain wall.
o Corrugated metal.
o Imitation rock work.
o Plastic mold ed i mitations of any
conventional building material.
o Silver or clear anodize d aluminum
sheets.
o Imitation wood siding.
o Flat or molded plastic sheeting.
o White brick.
o Tilt-up concrete.
o Antique or old brick with partial paint,
mottled light variegated brick,
oversized brick, and white br ick
mortar.
• Discourage wall and/or window mounted
room air conditioner s unle ss they are
concealed from public view, or are
integrated into the architecture.
5.8.10.2 Windows
• The pref erred dominant materi al for
windows is trans parent or lightly tinted
glass.
• Lightly reflective or solar glass may be
used above the first floor.
• Windows of da rk or highly reflective
glass are not rec ommended, especially
on the first floor elevations, and will
require excepti onal or unique solutions
to make them acceptable.
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 5.0 Design Plan
PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT (MARCH 2024)
5-69
5.8.10.3 Roof Materials
• When visible from the street, the
preferred roof materials include natu ral
colored terra cotta tile, concrete tile, and
other similar materials.
• Roof materials that will require a special
design solution or other unique condition
in order to be successful include: wood
shakes, w ood shingles, fiber glass shin-
gles, composition shingles, corrugated
metal and standing seam roofs.
5.8.10.4 Building Color
Building color guidelines provide another
means to visu ally unify the ARSP a rea by
narrowing the range of choices to a group of
colors that are visually compatible with one
another. Although it is not the intent of th e
guidelines to elimin ate any specific color
from consideration or use within the Pri vate
Realm, t he followin g crit eria provide
appropriate guidance for the selection of
building color.
• Encourage large building su rface a reas
to be light co lored. In general, accent
elements, i ncluding, but not lim ited to,
windows, do ors, awni ngs, building trim
and light fixtures may be either dark or
light colored.
• Limit the dominant surfaces of a building
to onl y comple mentary colors; accent
areas may include a greater variety of
colors.
5.8.10.5 Awnings
Awnings can be used to create an i nviting
space in fron t of a building where people
may step away from the flow of pedestrian
traffic and find a shady protected area.
• Allow awnings t hat are c ontinuous o r
broken to different iate windows and
display areas; awnings can become an
important element in a s torefront design
as they may be us ed to unify a
storefront with the whole building.
• Design the shape of the awning to fit the
architecture. Awnings that are barrel
shaped segmented ar ches or round -
ended create distinctive images, but
should be used sparingly and only when
they do not confl ict with the building's
architectural elements.
• Ensure the highest point of a first floor
awning not be higher than the midpoint
of the space between the second story
window sills and the top of the fir st floor
storefront window, aw ning, canopy, or
transom. This attachment should leave
a comfortable space between awning
and ar chitectural el ements, which
comprise the building.
• Ensure that the awnings do not obstruct
the views to adjacent businesses.
• Avoid awnings of more than a single
color per building.
5.8.11 Sign Guidelines
Signs are one of the most visible des ign
elements in the ARSP area. The purpose of
establishing sign guide lines solely for the
Specific Plan area is to:
• Reinforce Identity.
• Encourage graphic excellence.
• Reduce conflicts between signs.
• Improve appearance of the Specific
Plan area.
• Create consistency among signs.
• Promote sign legibility.
• Promote smooth flow of traffic as people
are able to identify sites.
The guidelines below est ablish positive
criteria for the design of desirable signs and
which complement the other building
elements in the ARSP area.
• Use a brief message. The fewer the
words, the more effective the sign. A
The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan 5.0 Design Plan
PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT (MARCH 2024)
5-70
sign with a brief, succin ct message is
simpler and faster to read, looks cleaner
and is more attractive.
• Avoid f addish and bizarre typefaces.
Such t ypefaces may look good today,
but soon go out of st yle. The image
conveyed may quickly become that of a
dated and unfashionable business.
• Avoid hard- to-read, intri cate t ypefaces.
These typefaces reduce the sign's ability
to communicate.
• Select sign colors and materials to
contribute to legibility and design
integrity. Even the mos t carefully
thought out sign may be unattractive
and a poor communicator because of
poor color selection.
• Use signific ant contrast between the
background and letter or symbol colors.
If there is little contrast between the
brightness or hue of t he message of a
sign and its back ground, it wil l be
difficult to read.
• Use complementary colors on signs.
Too many col ors overwhelm the basic
function of communication. The col ors
compete with content for t he viewer's
attention. Lim ited u se of the accent
colors can increase legibility, while large
areas of competing colo rs tend to
confuse and disturb.
• Harmonize sign si ze with the scale of
the structure.
• Place signs consistent with the
proportions of scale of building elements
within the f acade. Within a bui lding fa-
cade, the sign may be placed in different
areas. A particular sign may fit well on a
plain wall area but would overpower the
finer scale and proportion of the lower
storefront. A sign appropriate near the
building entry may look tiny and out of
place above the ground level.
• Place wa ll sig ns to establish fac ade
rhythm, scale and proportion whe re
facade rhythm does not exist. In many
buildings that have a monolithic or plain
facade, signs can establish or continue
appropriate des ign rhythm, scal e, and
proportion.
• Use widely recognized logos rather than
print/text whenever possible.
• Avoid signs with strange shapes. Signs
that a re unnec essarily narrow or oddly
shaped can restrict the legibility of the
message. If an unusual shape is not
symbolic, it is probably confusing.
• Consider carefully the proportion of
letter area to overall sign background
area. If letter s take up t oo muc h sign,
they may be harder to read. Large
letters ar e not neces sarily more legible
than smaller ones. A general rule is th at
letters should not appear to occupy
more than 75% of the sign panel area.
• Make signs smaller if they ar e oriented
to pedestr ians. The pedestrian- oriented
sign should read from a distance of
fifteen to twenty feet, the vehicle-
oriented sign is viewed f rom a muc h
greater d istance. The closer a sign's
viewing distance, the smaller that sign
need be.
• Design wal l signs to be appropr iate t o
the building on which it is placed. The
wall sign is an integral part of the
building facade. The style of a wall sign
should be appropriate to the sty le of a
building's design.
5.8.12 Landscape Guidelines
• Design landscape and open space
areas to be an integral part of the overall
site plan design.
• Use trees to define and enclose exterior
spaces, and to provide physical
protection from the sun and wind.
• Provide for la ndscaped open space
areas that enhance the building design
and publ ic views a nd provide buffers
and transitions between adjacent uses.
• Use trees, sh rubs and vines to conceal

alls, building elevations and parking
facilities.
• Use ar bors, trellises, walls, gates and
ot
her elemen ts to reinforce th e
ar
chitecture of adjacent buildings; land-
scape structures should be compatib le
and consistent with the arc hitectural
treatment of the adjacent buildings.
• Screen undeveloped, vacant land
in
tended for future phases with plants
that prevent wind and water erosion.
• Space plants to as sure unobs tructed
visual ac cess for vehicles and
pe
destrians.
• Ensure that plant m aterials do not
interfere with security lighting, or restrict
access to emergency apparatus such as
fire hydrants or fire alarm boxes.
• Provide simple, bold and eas y to
m
aintain landscap e planting designs
w
hich incorporate many drought tolerant
plant materials.
• Landscape elements visible from the
public r ight-of-way sho uld b lend with
an
d s eem a part of the publ ic rig ht-of-
way landscaping.
• Provide for plant palettes that inc lude
bot
h long- and s hort-lived plant
materials. Lo ng-lived materials incl ude
trees
and most shrubs; short -lived
materials include perennials, annua ls
and some shrubs.
• Select plant materials which are suited
to the soil and climatic conditions of the
sit
e.
• Minimize the use of wate r through the
selection of plants that are drought
tolerant when they are mature.
• Space trees and shrubs with
consideration for their ultimate size.
• Ensure that all g round cover is healt h
y
and dens
ely foliated, and is co mprised
o
f well-r ooted cuttings or container
plants.
• Pr
ovide a mix of plant material sizes in
informal plantings.

Ground Level
5.8.13 Wall and Fence Guidelines
• Use walls and fences for security, visual
screeni
ng, and aesthetic purposes.
• Ensure that wall s and fences are
consistent with the architecture of the
adjacent buildin g in t erms o f material,
color, and form.
• Avoid walls which fea ture long,
unarticulated surfac es. Use p ilasters,
height variation, setback variation , land-
scaping, and surface texture to vary the
wall surface.
• Provide walls and fences that are of th e
f
ollowing preferred materials: masonr y,
wrought iron and painted steel tubing.
5.8.14 Pedestrian Paving Guidelines
These guidelines for pedestrian pavements
apply to all paved areas on private property
intended for use by pedestrians, including

The Project site encompasses The Disneyland Resort, including the Theme Park, Parking and Southeast Districts of the Disneyland Resort Specific Plan (DRSP), and properties in the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan (ARSP) Commercial Recreation (C-R) District (Development Area 1) owned or controlled by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts U.S., Inc. (Disney) or other subsidiaries of The Walt Disney Company.
Terms and Definitions
1. Applicant - Walt Disney Parks and Resorts U.S., Inc.
2. Property Owner/Developer – Any owner or developer of properties owned by Disney or other subsidiaries of The Walt Disney Company within the DRSP or the ARSP.
3. Project Design Features (PDFs) – Measures incorporated into The Disneyland Resort Project as amended by the DisneylandForward Project by the applicant with the intent of minimizing potential environmental impacts. The PDFs included in this Miti gation Monitoring Program will be implemented as mitigation measures.
4. Environmental Equivalent/Timing – To the extent permitted by law, if Disney cannot complete any PDF or Mitigation Measure and timing thereof, the City may specify another substituted measure, which (i) will have the same or superior result, (ii) will have the same or superior effect on the environment, and (iii) has a nexus to the Project. The Planning Department, in conjunct ion with any appropriate agencies or City departments, shall de termine the adequacy of any proposed “environmental equivalent/timing” based on substantial evidence and, if determined necessary, may refer said deter mination to the Planning Commission. Any costs associated with information required to make a determination of environmental equivalency/timing shall be borne by the Applicant.
5. Responsibility for Monitoring – Shall mean that compliance with the subject mitigation measure(s) shall be reviewed and determined adequate by all departments listed for each mitigation measure.
6. Ongoing Mitigation Measures – The mitigation measures that are designated to occur on an ongoing basis as part of this mitigation monitoring program will be monitored in the form of an annual letter from the Property Owner /Developer and/or Applicant in January of each year stating how compliance with the

R:\Projects\WDI\3WDI000400\Environmental Documentation\Final SEIR\Final_SEIR-022824.docx 4-2 subject measure(s) has been achieved. Mitigation Measures are referenced in parentheses by their section number as identified in the Draft Subsequent EIR No. 352. Mitigation Measures and/or PDFs designated to occur on an ongoing basis are noted with an asterisk (*). For mitigatio n measures/PDFs that are to be monitored “Ongoing During Construction”, the annual letter will review those mitigation measures/PDFs only while construction is occurring; monitoring will be discontinued after construction is complete. A final annual letter will be provided at the close of construction.
7. The Cit
y recognizes that the certain infrastructure improvement s and service capabilities, as identified in this Mitigation Mon itoring Program, will serve not only the Applicant but also other property owners/developers in the Spec ific Plan area, The Anaheim Resort, and the service are a, each of which should contribute in allocable share of the cost of these improvements. To implement this requirement as it applies to other property owners/developers in the Specific Plan area, The Anaheim Resort, and the service area, the City shall make appropriate arrangements with other public agencies, i f any, to reimburse the Applica
nt to the extent that its contributions for these improvements exceed the Applicant’s allocable share of the cost. Such arrangements shall include one or more of the following: (1) creation of integrated financing districts; (2) entry into a reimbursement agreement with the Applicant; (3) creation of appropriate community facilities districts, assessment districts and/or use of similar public financing districts and/or mechanisms; and (4 ) creation of such othe r mech
anisms or districts as may be appropriate to provide for the reimbursement of thes e costs. The determination of the allocable share of improvement costs attributable to the Applicant and other property owners/developers, and reim bursement amounts, shall be based on an appor tionment of the costs of su
ch improvements and equipment and personnel among property owners/developers, including the Applicant, in the Specific Plan area, The Anaheim Resort, or othe
rwise defined service area, as applicable, depending on the area served.
8. To the extent that this Mitigation Monitori
ng Program requires the Applicant to submit plans for several phases simultaneously, it is understood that such later pha
se plans may be considered preliminary and may be subject to change. Such preliminary plans for the later phase will not be required to provide the level of detail required for the initial phase plans provided that more detailed plans will be submitted separately at a later time. Nevertheless, such preliminary plans for the later phase shall provide sufficient schematic or descriptive detail to ensure that plans submitted for said later phase shall comply with the provisions of this Mitigation Monito
ring Program and shall be consistent with the provisions of the initial phase plans.
9. T
iming – This is the point where a mitigation measure/PDF must be monitored for compliance. In the case where multiple action items are indicated, it is the first point where compliance associated with the mitigation measure/PDF must be monitored. Once the initial action item has been complied with, no additional monitoring pursuant to the Mitigation Monitoring Program will occur, as routine City practices and procedures will ensure that the intent of the measure design feature has been complied with. For example, if the timing is “to be shown on approved building plans” subsequent to issuance of the building permit consistent with the app
roved plans will be final building and zoning inspections pursuant to the building permit to ensure compliance.
10. Building
Permit – For purposes of this Mitigation Monitoring Program, a buildi ng permit shall be defined as any permit issued for construction of a new building
or structural expansion/modification of any existing building, but shall not include any permits required for interior tenant improvem ents or minor addition
s of up to 1,000 square feet to an existing structure or building.

Transportation Demand Management Program
The need to minimize cast vehicle trips to reduce congestion and improve air quality, consistent with the goals of both the Ai r Quality Management Plan (AQMP) of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) and with the Regional Mobility Plan of the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), is recognized. The Disneyland Resort will implement and administer a comprehensive Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program for all cast, which will strive to achieve an average vehicle ridership (AVR) goal of 1.5 persons per vehicle and, an average length of out-of-area guest stay of 1.72 days.
At this point in project development, it is not possible to predict precisely which programs and activities would be most su ccessful for The Disneyland Resort in meeting these goals. In addition, property ow ner/developer will review annually with the City any changes to the TDM Program and the Program's effectiveness toward achieving a 1.5 AVR. In consultation with the SCAQMD, the City of Anaheim and other agencies, and after analyzing the effectiveness of these items, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts U.S., Inc. will select specific programs for implementation.
Objectives of the TDM program are:
• Increase ridesharing and use of alternative transportation modes by guests. • Meet the cast 1.5 AVR target.

• Provide a menu of commute alterna tives for The Disneyland Resort cast, to reduce project-generated trips.
• Provide transportation "linkages" to existing and future transportation modes (other than single-occupant vehicle travel) for both The Disneyland Resort cast and guests.
Implementation strategies and elements of the TDM program for cast and guest trips are described below.

Making a commitment to commute management and trip reduction will become an integral part of the new-hire training. A menu of TDM program strategies and elements for both, existing and future cast commute options would be examined, including, but not limited to, the following:

• Onsite Service . Onsite services, such as the food, retail, and other services may be provided to the cast.
• Ridesh
aring. An online listing of all cast members living in proximity to Th e Disneyland Resort may be developed for the purpose of providing a "matching" of
members with other cast members who live in the same geographic areas and wh
o could rideshare to The Disneyland Resort.
• Vanpo
oling. An online listing of all cast memb ers living in proximity to Th e Disneyland Resort may be developed for the purpose of matching numbers of cast who live in geographic proximity to one another and could comprise a vanpool to The Disneyland Resort.
• Tra

rough financial assistance and onsite sales to encourage cast to use the various t
ransit and bus services to The Disneyland Resort from throughout the region. • C
ommuter Bus. As commuter "express" bus service expands throughout th e region, passes for use on these lines may be provided for cast members wh o ch
oose to use this service. Financial incentives will be provided. • Shuttle Servic
e. A computer listing of all cast members living in proximity to The Disneyland Resort may be generated, and a local shuttle program will be offered to encourage cast members to trav el to work by means other than the automob
ile.
• Bicycling. A
Disneyland Resort Bicycling Program may be developed to offer a bicycling alternative to cast members. Secure bicycle racks, lockers, an d sh
owers will be provided as part of th is program. Maps of bicycle rout es t
hroughout the area would be provided to inform potential bicy clists of these opt
ions.
• Rental Car Fleet.
A "fleet vehicle" program may be developed to provide cast members who travel to work by means other than an automobile with access to automobiles in case
of emergency, medi cal appointments, etc. This service
would help cast members use alternative modes of transportation by ensuring that they would be able to have personal transportation in the event of special
circumsta

• Emergency Ride Home
Program. The program may provide cast members
who rideshare, or use transit or other means of commuting to work, with a prearranged ride home in a taxi, rental car, shuttle, or other vehicle, in the event DisneylandForward

of emergencies during the work shift. In essence, this program addresses the concerns of the cast member who rideshares and might be stranded without a vehicle in the event of an emergency.
• Local Hiring Efforts . Continue to actively recruit prospective employees within 20 miles.
• Target Reduction of Longest Commute Trip . Design an incentives program for ridesharing and other alternative transportation modes to put highest priority on reduction of longest employee commute trips.
• Work Schedule
- Staggered Shifts. The Disneyland Resort cast may work different hours throughout the daily hours of park operation. A thorough review of cast shifts would be undertaken to provide the potential for cast shifts during nonpeak travel times, thus lessening peak hour congestion. - Compressed Work Week . The Disneyland Resort may review the possibility of developing a "compressed work week" program, which provides for fewer work days but longer daily shifts, as an option for cast members. This program would help eliminate certain trips on certain days that would otherwise be generated daily by The Disneyland Resort Cast. - Telecommuting. The Disneyland Resort employs cast members in a wide a variety of jobs including clerical, administrative and professional roles. Sometimes that work can be completed at home. Telecommuting will be encouraged on a limited basis as operational needs allow. • Work Environment/Facility Management
- Parking Management. The Disneyland Resort may develop a parking management program that provides incentives to those who rideshare or use transit means other than single-occupant auto to travel to work. - Management Staff. The existing Disneyland theme park transportation management staff may be expanded onsite to accommodate new employees and to explore relations hips with adjacent employers to determine whether joint efforts can lead to greater reductions in VMT by Disneyland Resort cast members an d other employees in the Anaheim Resort.

• Financial Incentives
In addition to the above items, certain financial incentives will be integrated into The Disneyland Resort TDM program, such as:
- Financial Incentive for Ridesharing and/or Public Transit. Currently, federal law provides tax-free status for up to $300 per month per employee contributions to employees who vanpool or use public transit (including commuter rail and/or express bus pools). In addition, The Disneyland Resort provides free OCTA passes and a 75% subsidy (up to $100/month) for other transit passes.
- Financial Incentive for Bicycling and Walking. Cast members may be offered financial incentives for bicycling to work; they would be provided with secure bicycle racks, lockers, and showers. Cast members may also receive a cash incentive for reporting a bike or walk commute. - Financial Incentive for Carpooling . Cast members may be offered a cash incentive for carpooling to work.
- Special “Premium" for the Participation and Promotion of Trip Reduction. Tickets/passes to project theme parks and/or vacations could be offered to employees who recruit other cast members for vanpool, carpool, or other Disney trip reduction programs.
• Guests
- Even though visitors to The Disneyland Resort are estimated to average nearly four persons per vehicle, additional programs and incentives could and will be provided to encourage even more guest use of ridesharing, transit, and other modes of travel to and from The Disneyland Resort.
