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, on October 8, 1996, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 96R - 178, amending The Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape Program in order to provide for modifications to the streetscape landscape plans for Freedman Way, Harbor Boulevard, Walnut Street and West Street/Disneyland Drive (Amendment No. 1); and WHEREAS, on June 22, 1999, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 99R-137, amending The Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape Program in order to provide for a mid- block median break on Clementine Street between Disney Way (former Freedman Way) and Katella Avenue (Amendment No. 2); and

WHEREAS,
on December 18, 2012, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2012-162, amending The Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape Program in its entirety in order to reduce redundancy within and between the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan and The Anaheim Resort Identity Program documents and update The Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape Program to reflect the conditions within The Anaheim Resort (Amendment No. 5) in conjunction with related actions (amendments to the General Plan, Anaheim Resort Specific Plan (Amendment No. 14), Zoning Code and The Anaheim Resort Identity Program). In support of the adoption of these actions, the City Council certified Supplemental EIR No. 2008- 00340 (Supplemental EIR No. 340), which is a supplemental EIR to MEIR No. 313, and approved MMP No. 85C by adopting Resolution No. 2012-158 on December 18, 2012. Since being certified in 2012, a validation report was prepared in 2019 to evaluate the continued relevance and accuracy of SEIR No. 340; and WHEREAS, the DisneylandForward Project is proposed to allow continued, long- term growth of The Disneyland Resort. The Project would allow the transfer of uses permitted under The Disneyland Resort Project to Disney Properties in other areas of the DRSP and the ARSP. It would also allow future streamlined review of Disney projects in these areas. The Project would not increase the amount of development square footage or hotel rooms currently allowed in the DRSP and analyzed in EIR No. 311, which the City certified in 1993, and Addendum No. 1 to EIR No. 311, which the City approved in 1996, or the number of hotel rooms currently allowed in the ARSP and analyzed in Supplemental EIR No. 340, which the City certified in 2012. However, it would permit an increase of 4,376 theme park employee parking spaces in the ARSP and provide for future administrative review by the City of Disney’s development projects on Disney Properties within the DRSP and the ARSP. It would also modify the limits of the existing Theme Park and Hotel District boundaries within the existing DRSP perimeter (these two Districts would be combined and the expanded District would be called the Theme Park District) and rename the Future Expansion District to the Southeast District within the DRSP. It would also establish Overlays for Disney Properties in the ARSP (Theme Park East Overlay, Theme Park West Overlay and Parking Overlay). Disney is not seeking additional square footage for theme park uses or retail entertainment uses or additional hotel rooms within The Disneyland Resort as part of this Project.
Instead, the Project would allow Disney to move the existing Disneyland Resort approvals for these uses to other Disney Properties governed by the DRSP and ARSP; and WHEREAS, the DisneylandForward Project includes the following entitlements, which shall be referred to herein collectively as the "Project":

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, drought tolerant and/or 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;

3 2 PURPOSE
The information in this document is int ended to
summarize the landscape concepts for the public
streets (or Public Realm as it is referred to in this
document) within The Anaheim Resort and
provide a general overview of the different
landscape treatments that help create a unifying
resort identity. Additional details showing how the
concepts are implemented are shown in t he
Anaheim Resort Specific Plan (ARSP) and t he
Disneyland Resort Spe cific Plan (DRSP)
respective Design Plans (Section 5.0 of ea ch
document).
Streets and their edges furnish the primary space
in which landscape can be placed to transform
the identity of The Anaheim Resort. The most
visually prominent areas have the great est
impact on the design of the area.
3 LANDSCAPE CONCEPTS
The following landscape concepts are intended
to define the charact er of the landscape for The
Anaheim Resort.
3.1 Unity and Diversity
Public Realm landscape planting must create an
overall unity, whil e allowing diversity to create
distinct differences between places. This is
achieved by establishing a planting design
system in which basic elements are repeated in
an orderly, regular way, while the elements vary
to respond to particular situations.
3.2 Use Plant Material to Create
Scale
It is important that the scale of the landscape
plantings reflect the scale of place they are
intended to enhance. For example, major streets
and entries that are viewed primarily from
automobiles require a landscape treatment that is
grander in scale and texture than areas i ntended
solely for pedestrians. When they are
overlapping needs, that is, when both pedestrian
and automobile scales much be accommodated,
the planting design addresses both needs.
3.3 Establish a Recognizable
Streetscape Geometry
Throughout The Anaheim Resort , landscape
elements including trees and shrubs, as well as
man-made elements such as light fixtures, are
arranged in regular patterns that establish orde r
and a recognizable geometry. The patterns vary
to create different effects, and help differentiate
one location from another. Generally, street tree
plantings feature regularly spaced trees, and the
same trees are used consistently for
considerably lengths of the same street .
Changes in the variety of tree, or the geometry of
the planting design may occu r when a street
changes in width, changes direction, or crosses
another im portant street. Informal masses of
trees only occur in the Public Realm where the
total width of the combined landscape area in the
Public Realm and the required street setback
areas exceeds forty feet. Planting designs in
which trees are sc attered randoml y are
inconsistent with the intent of this concept.
3.4 Define a Plant Palette
Another way the Publ ic Rea lm Landscape
Program creates a unified identity is by
identifying the plant mater ial used within The
Anaheim Resort, especially within the areas
visible fr om the street. The plant palette
emphasizes plants that have a positive visual
impact and are well adapted to The Anaheim
Resort. Many o f the recommended plants are
typical of Southern Califor nia landscapes and
emphasize the special qualities of plants that are
The Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape Program

4 appropriate for the changing California climate.
Palms, broad leaf evergreens and exotic
flowering shrubs are now being used i n
moderation, introducing a new diverse Pal ette
appropriate for low water applications. A mix of
textural plants, California friendly natives, low
water Perennials and flowering shrubs are being
introduced to address the changi ng needs of the
landscape. A complete of list of the plants for use
in The Anaheim Resort is include d in the
Planning Standard Detail No. 10.
3.5 Layer Landscape to Create
Depth
To create an illusion of greater depth in narrow
spaces throughout the Specific Plan area, and to
add further variety, landscape is planted in
layers. The layers include plants in both the
Public Real m and the required s etback areas.
Layers are expre ssed vertically by the varying
heights of plant material, streetlights and other
landscape elements; layers are also express ed
horizontally by establishing several distinct
planting areas with consistent se tback
relationships.

5 3.6 Contrast Plant Material for
Diversity and Balance
To create diversity, landscape planting design
relies on contrasting one plant material w ith
another. The types of contrast include form (large
vs. small, tall vs. short, narrow vs. broad, rigid vs.
loose), texture (coarse vs. fine, lush vs. sparse,
open vs. closed), and color (dark vs. light, gray
vs. gre en). This contrast i s expressed in the
Public Real m, for example, with street tree
plantings that consist of alternating tall narrow
trees (such as palms) with short broad tr ees
(such as a small or me dium sized canopy tree).
There will also be contrast bet ween the planting
in the Public Realm and the adjacent Setback
Realm. For example, a formal planting of
regularly spaced palms in the Public Realm might
be complemented by plantings in the Setback
Realm of masses of eucalyptus or pines with less
regular forms.
3.7 Colorful Plants to Emphasize a
Festive Atmosphere
Colorful plant materials are used throughout The
Anaheim Resort to help create a festive, cheerful
atmosphere. Where appropriate, flowering trees
may be used, as well as flowering shrubs and
ground covers. These colorful shrubs and ground
covers are often be planted in large masses of
the same plant material in order to cr eate a more
dramatic impression. The types of colorful plants
are varied so that color is apparent throughout
the year. The preferred color for flowering plants
is deeply colored reds, violets, oranges, yellows
and purples. The use of plants with pale colors,
including pale blue, pink, and off-white is limited.

10 4 PUBLIC STREETS
This Section of the Public Realm Landscape
Program describes the design concepts for each
street. Both the Anaheim and Dis neyland Resort
Specific Plans provide diagrams of these streets
and show the approximate locat ion of the Public
Realm as well as guidelines for the setback
areas of each street.
4.1 Harbor Boulevard
Harbor Boulevard is the main north -south street
within The Anaheim Res ort. Between
Manchester Avenue and Orangewood A venue,
the landscape treatment is int ended to unify the
two sid es of th e street by establishing a
landscape treatment that is consistent on both
sides of the street. The treatment consists of
regularly spaced medium or large spreading
canopy trees and vertical trees. The canopy trees
provide shade for pedes trians that walk to the
theme parks, Anaheim Convention Center or
other Anaheim Res ort uses from the hotels on
Harbor Boulevard, and t he vertical trees are
intended to provide a skyline identity for the
street. The median is planted with t he same
canopy trees that are planted in the landscaped
parkways. The intent is that the trees event ually
close over the street to create a green canopy.
Pedestrians are separated from vehicular traffic
by a landscaped parkway. Within the median,
shrubs are planted to form a barrier to prevent
pedestrian crossings at mid- block. This barri er
should be eas ily seen to be im penetrable to
pedestrians.
Due to the confi guration of the DRSP Theme
Park District Drop-Off Area and the monorail and
fences along the Disneyland Theme Park
boundary, the street design has been modified to
remove the vertical palm trees from the west side
of the street north of the southernmost point of
the DRSP Theme Park District Drop -Off Area.
From the I -5 to the DRSP Theme Park Distr ict
Drop-Off Area, the landscaped parkway ranges
from 6 to 12 feet to provide for layered
landscaping adjacent to the Disneyland Theme
Park back -of-house fence. As part of
DisneylandForward, the existing DRS P Theme
Park District Drop-Off Area may be relocat ed
adjacent or internal to the East Parking Area or,
subject to the requirements of the ARSP, it may
be relocated to the ARSP Parking Overlay along
Manchester Avenue.
At the time the relocation occurs, the public right-
of-way and the Public Realm Landscape concept
for the west side of Harbor Boulevard w ill be
changed to be consistent with the east side of the
street.
At Manches ter Avenue , as Harbor Boulevard
begins t o rise over Interstate 5 (I-5), as well a s
south of Orangewood Avenue, the Harbor
Boulevard right-of-way begins t o be restricted in
width. Within these southern and northern most
reaches of Harbor Boulevard, within The
Anaheim Resort , the landscape treatm ent
continues the Harbor Boul evard skyline identit y
with vertical tree s alternating with a medium or
large canopy tree. However, because there is not
adequate right-of-way for a landscaped parkway,
the street trees are placed in sidewalk cutouts.
As par t of DisneylandForward, at least one and
up to three pedestrian bridges will be constructed
over Harbor Boulevar d between Manchester
Avenue and Disney Way. The construction of any
pedestrian bridge over publ ic rights -of-way will
require the granting of an e ncroachment
agreement or similar request for air right
easements over public property by the City of
Anaheim. Refer t o Section 4.6, Pedestrian
Circulation Plan , for more information on
pedestrian bridges crossing the publ ic right-of-
way.

PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT (MARCH 2024)
11 4.2 Katella Avenue
Katella Avenue is the main east -west street
within T he Anaheim Resort. In the spirit of
differentiating the major streets from each other,
the landscape on Katella Avenue features formal
colonnades of regularly spaced Date Palms. The
intent is to:
• Create a d ramatic impression with th e
m
ultiple rows of closely spaced palms;
• Maximize the effectiveness of the area
available for landscape by using the multiple
layers to create an increased sense of depth
of the landscape along the street; and,
• Use the palm's ul timate height to help creat e
a f
eeling of enclosur e, thereby reducing the
apparent scale of the street.
Pedestrian walks on both sides of the street are
separated from the vehicular traff ic by a
landscaped parkway. The broad canopy of the
palm provides shade on the walks, and the
narrow trunk permit s views into adjoining
properties.
4.3 Disneyland Drive
Disneyland Drive has two typical conditions.
North of Ball Road, it is the northern arrival street
into The Ana heim Resort. The landscape
treatment is an ex tension of the lands cape
treatment of the I -5/Disneyland Drive
interchange, which features evergreen vertical
trees and other temperate zone plants. Tall
vertical canopy trees are placed in existing
sidewalks t o help screen residential uses to the
west.
So
uth of Ball Road, the landscape for the Public
Realm is intended to help ti e together the
different uses on either side of the street with a
planting of medium or small canopy trees and
vertical trees. A pedestrian walk on the east side
of the street is separated from vehicular traffic by
a landscaped parkway along t he entire length of
the street. A grade separated c rossing has been
constructed under Downtown Disney. Within the
grade separation area, the park way and median
may be eliminated.
A
s part of Dis neylandForward, one to two
pedestrian bridges and/or crossings will be
constructed over Disneyland Drive between
Magic Way and Katella Avenue. The construction
of any pedestrian bridge or crossing over public
rights-of-way will r equire the granting of an
encroachment agreement or simil ar re quest for
air r ight easements over public property by the
City of Anaheim. Refer to Section 4.6, Pedestrian
Circulation Plan , for more information on
pedestrian bridges crossing the publ ic right-of-
way.
4.4 West Street
In order to maintain the residential quality of this
street, Magnolia trees within an 8- foot parkway
and 4 -foot sidewalk are the dominant character
of the streetscape of West Street , south of
Katella Avenue.
4.5 Disney Way
Disney Way i s intended to be used to bring
automobiles efficiently into the planned public
parking facility in the DRSP East Park ing Area.
The landscape treatment within the Public Realm
features regularly spaced, alte rnating sm all or
medium canopy trees. An eight -foot landscaped
parkway separate s pedestrians from vehicular
traffic. A mid-block median break is permitted on
Disney W ay (between Harbor Boulevard and
Clementine Street).
A
s part of Dis neylandForward, the e xisting
sidewalk on the north side of Disney Way
The Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape Program
PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT (MARCH 2024)
12 between Clementine Street and Anaheim
GardenWalk will be removed to allow for vehicle
access to a new parking facility . The removed
sidewalk area will be replaced by an expanded
landscape parkway area.
4.6 Clementine Street
Like D isney Way, Clementine Street i s an
important vehicular access road to t he planned
public parking facil ity in t he DRSP East Parking
Area. The landscape for the public right-of-way of
this street is simil ar to the treatment of Disney
Way. Pedestrian walks are separated from
vehicular tra ffic by a landscaped parkway.
Pedestrian walkway(s) and/or trans portation
system(s) connect DRSP East Parking Ar ea to
the DRSP Southeast District located south of
Katella Avenue. A mid -block median break is
permitted on Clementine Street (between Disney
Way and Katella Avenue).
As part of Dis neylandForward, the existing
sidewalk on the west side of Clementine Street
between Disney Way and Arlo Way will be
removed to allow for a new parking facility north
of Disney Way. The removed sidewalk area will
be rep laced by area 10-foot multi -use Class I
bicycle facility.
4.7 Manchester Avenue
Like Disney Way and Clementine S treet,
Manchester Avenue is an im portant vehicular
access road t o The Anaheim Resort. The
landscape for the public right-of-way of the west
portion is similar, with regularly spaced,
alternating small or medium canopy and verti cal
trees in an 8 -foot landsc ape parkway and in a
landscaped median.
Adjacent to I -5, the l andscape of Manchester
Avenue continues the r egularly spaced,
alternating small or medium canopy and vertical
trees in an 8-foot landscape parkway. Adjacent to
I-5, there is no pedestrian walk way and the
parkway is reduced to 5 feet in width.
4.8 Walnut Street
Walnut Street forms the western edge of The
Anaheim Resort. The landscape within the public
right-of-way includes large canopy trees planted
in a continuous par kway on the east si de of the
street and in a median between Ball Road and
Katella Avenue. Tr ees of a similar size and t ype
are located on the west side of the s treet. These
tall trees are intended to buffer the uses within
the DRSP Theme Park District, inc luding the
220-kv transmission lines along Walnut Street. A
continuous 10-foot multi-use Class I b icycle
facility on the east s ide of the street is separated
from vehicular traffic by a landscaped parkway.
4.9 Ball Road
Ball Road is another major east -west st reet
within The Anaheim Resort . The landscape
treatment for the public right -of-way includes a
planting of m edium or large canop y trees i n tree
wells, cut into the sidewalk east of I -5. The large
canopy trees are placed in parkways west of I -5.
Trees of the same species are planted in raised
medians west of Wes t P lace, as are
complementary ground cover.
4.10 Anaheim Boulevard/
Haster Street
The Anaheim Boulevard/Haster Street landscape
consists of alternating, regul arly spaced small or
medium canopy trees and vertical trees.
Pedestrian sidewalks are separated from
vehicular traffic by a landscaped parkway.
The Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape Program
PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT (MARCH 2024)
13 4.11 Convention Way
Convention Way h as been designed and
constructed to create a grand and ci vic character
through t he use of large stately palm trees
alternating with large canopy trees. A subtropical
plant palette provides a backdrop to t he palms.
Palms have been inserted within the sidew alks
on bot h sides of the street . Where there is a
raised median, palms and barri er shrubs were
added in order to create a consi stent
streetscape.
4.12 Gene Autry Way
Between Haster Street and Interstate 5, Gene
Autry transitions to the HOV (High Occupancy
Vehicle) inte rchange accommodating vehicles
from the HOV lanes on the I -5 freeway. In this
location, retaining and soundwalls are located
along both sides of Gene Autry Way since the
road is elevated.
The landscape on Gene Autry Way features a
formal colonnade of reg ularly spaced palms with
a subtropical plant palette to provide a backdrop
to the palms . The sidewalks are set behind a
parkway of uniform dimension.
4.13 Orangewood Avenue
Although Orangewood Avenue is generally
outside of The Anaheim Resort, the intersection
with Harbor Boulevard and the segment of the
street adjacent to The Anaheim Resort has been
included in the Plan. The basic conc ept is to
extend the planting of the existing street tree,
Magnolia grandiflora, within the existing right-of-
way and parkway/sidewalk.
4.14 Local Streets
Local streets are those streets intended to
primarily serve lo cal traffic. Public Realm
improvements include both a landscaped
parkway with street trees or trees within tree
wells, and a pedestrian sidewalk.

14 5 HARBOR BOULEVARD/
KATELLA AVENUE
INTERSECTION AREA
The area immediatel y adjacent to the Harbor
Boulevard/Katella Avenue Intersection is crit ical
to the overall image of The Anaheim Resort. To
promote an urban, pedestrian f riendly
environment at this intersection, the fol lowing
special criteria for landscape, hardscape and
urban design elements have been created to
guide future development of t he parcels having
frontage on both Harbor Boulevard and Katella
Avenue. These parc els are located within the
Harbor Boulevard/Katel la Ave nue Intersection
Area.
5.1 Streetscape
For parcels having frontage on both Harbor
Boulevard and Katella Avenue, the followi ng
landscape and hardscape criteria shall apply
within the Public Realm:
• Street trees along both Harbor Boulevard and
Katella Avenu e front ages shall include a
double row of Date Palms. Date Palms in the
second row of the parkway may be provided
in tree grates where special paving occurs.
• Where bus shelters occur, one (1) King Palm
in tree grate shall be planted on each side of
the bus shelter.
• Special paving s hall be provi ded at the
Harbor Boulevard/Katella Avenue Intersection
Area corners to highlight thi s distinct, heavily
pedestrian-traveled intersection. Special
paving shall extend a minimum of two
hundred feet (200’) from the edge of c urb
return at the cor ner along bot h Harbor
Boulevard and Katella Avenue frontages f or
each parcel, or combined parcels for a single
project, or extend the entire length of the
frontage if the parcel/pr oject frontage is less
than tw o hundred feet (200’ ). Pa ving
materials shall be per City s tandards and be
consistent on all four corners, s ubject to
review and approval by the Planning Director
and City Engineer.
• Sculptural urban design elements are
encouraged at each corner of the Harbor
Boulevard/Katella Avenue Intersection A rea,
as described in Section 1.5.2 below.
5.2 Sculptural Urban Design
Elements
Sculptural urban design el ements are
encouraged within the Public Realm of the
parcels that have frontages on both Harbor
Boulevard and Katella Avenue. These sculptural
urban design elements are i ntended to be ic onic
forms that identify the Harbor Boulevard/Katella
Avenue intersect ion as a distinctive urban
environment. The design and arrange ment of
these elements should be unique to each co rner
property of the intersection in order to provide for
diversity and visual interest. They can be located
within the public realm providing t here is
adequate circulation space for pedestrians. The
design of the elements may include water and
lighting subject to the approv al of the Planning
Director and City Engineer. The number of
sculptural urban design elements is limited to two
per street frontage. The final design is subject to
review and approval by the Planning Director and
City Engineer.
