SEIR No. 339 City of Anaheim • Page 1-1 1. Executive Summary 1.1 INTRODUCTION This Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) addresses the environmental effects associated with the implementation of the Revised Platinum Triangle Expansion Project (Proposed Project) in the City of Anaheim, California. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires that local government agencies, prior to taking action on projects over which they have discretionary approval authority, consider the environmental consequences of such projects. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is a public document designed to provide the public, local, and state governmental agency decision makers with an analysis of potential environmental consequences to support informed decision making. This document focuses on those impacts determined to be potentially significant as discussed in the Initial Study completed for this project (see Appendix A Subsequent EIR (SEIR) is prepared when an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project and the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence, that one or more of the criteria listed under Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines are met. The City of Anaheim, as lead agency, has determined that preparation of a Subsequent EIR (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, Article 11) is appropriate. This SEIR has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of CEQA and the City of Anaheim’s CEQA procedures. This SEIR will be used to evaluate the impacts associated with implementing the Proposed Project. Use of a Subsequent EIR provides the City of Anaheim, as lead agency, with the opportunity to consider the environmental impacts that will be created by the Proposed Project and project alternatives, and mitigation measures that can reduce project impacts to the extent possible or to below a level of significance. The City of Anaheim has reviewed and revised as necessary all submitted drafts, technical studies, and reports to reflect its own independent judgment, including reliance on applicable City technical personnel from other departments and review of all technical subconsultant reports. Data for this SEIR was obtained from on-site field observations; discussions with affected agencies; analysis of adopted plans and policies; review of available studies, reports, data, and similar literature; and specialized environmental assessments (air quality, noise, traffic, water supply, and sewer). 1.2 ENVIRONMENTAL PROCEDURES This SEIR has been prepared pursuant to CEQA to assess the environmental effects associated with implementation of the Proposed Project, as well as anticipated future discretionary actions and approvals. The six main objectives of this document as established by CEQA are listed below: 1) To disclose to decision makers and the public the significant environmental effects of proposed activities. 2) To identify ways to avoid or reduce environmental damage. ---PAGE BREAK--- 1. Executive Summary Page 1-2 • The Planning Center August 2010 3) To prevent environmental damage by requiring implementation of feasible alternatives or mitigation measures. 4) To disclose to the public reasons for agency approval of projects with significant environmental effects. 5) To foster interagency coordination in the review of projects. 6) To enhance public participation in the planning process. An EIR is the most comprehensive form of environmental documentation identified in CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines and provides the information needed to assess the environmental consequences of a proposed project, to the extent feasible. EIRs are intended to provide objective, factually supported, full- disclosure analyses of the environmental consequences associated with a proposed project that has the potential to result in significant, adverse environmental impacts. An EIR is also one of various decision-making tools used by a lead agency to consider the merits and disadvantages of a project that is subject to its discretionary authority. Prior to approving a proposed project, the lead agency must consider the information contained in the EIR, determine whether the EIR was properly prepared in accordance with CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines, determine that it reflects the independent judgment of the lead agency, adopt findings concerning the project’s significant environ- mental impacts and alternatives, and adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations if the proposed project would result in significant impacts that cannot be avoided. 1.2.1 EIR Format This SEIR has been formatted as described below.

Executive Summary Page 1-4 • The Planning Center August 2010 1.2.2 Type and Purpose of This SEIR Subsequent EIR This SEIR has been prepared as a Subsequent EIR as authorized by State CEQA Guidelines (Section 15162, Public Resources Code Section 21166). A Subsequent EIR must be prepared if: Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the environmental impact report. Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is being undertaken which will require major revisions in the environmental impact report. New information, which was not known and could not have been known at the time the environmental impact report was certified as complete, becomes available. The subject SEIR is intended to provide the additional environmental documentation for the project actions, including amendments to the City of Anaheim General Plan, the Platinum Triangle MLUP, the Platinum Triangle Mixed Use (PTMU) Overlay Zone, the Platinum Triangle Standardized Development Agreement Form, and Zoning Reclassifications. Therefore, this SEIR is intended to serve as the primary environmental document for subsequent actions within the Platinum Triangle—including all local discretionary approvals and implementation programs and financial mechanisms assessment districts)—requested to implement the Platinum Triangle MLUP. Future developments that require additional discretionary review conditional use permit, variance, development agreement, etc.) will utilize this document for CEQA purposes to the extent possible, consistent with Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines. The Proposed Project would tier off of Final Subsequent EIR No. 332 for the Platinum Triangle MLUP and Associated Actions (FSEIR No. 332). Based on FSEIR No. 332, the Initial Study prepared for the Proposed Project in December 2008 found that impacts pertaining to agricultural resources, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, hazards and hazardous materials, and mineral resources are less than significant and were not further analyzed in this document. This document analyzes the environmental effects of development pursuant to the Proposed Project to the degree of specificity required by Section 15146 of the State CEQA Guidelines. This SEIR would be the primary reference document in the formation and implementation of a mitigation reporting and monitoring program for the Platinum Triangle; therefore, the previously adopted Mitigation Monitoring Program No. 106A would be updated and modified based on the findings contained herein. The purpose of this SEIR is to share information with the public regarding the project’s impacts, identify ways to avoid and/or reduce impacts, analyze alternatives, and to foster interagency coordination and public review. This SEIR will provide an additional environmental documentation for the project actions in accordance with Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Program EIR This SEIR fulfills the requirements for a Program EIR. Although the legally required contents of a Program EIR are the same as those of a Project EIR, Program EIR’s are typically more conceptual and may contain a more general discussion of impacts, alternatives, and mitigation measures than a Project EIR. ---PAGE BREAK--- 1. Executive Summary SEIR No. 339 City of Anaheim • Page 1-5 As provided in Section 15168 of the State CEQA Guidelines, a Program EIR may be prepared on a series of actions that may be characterized as one large project. Use of a Program EIR provides the City (as Lead Agency) with the opportunity to consider broad policy alternatives and program-wide mitigation measures and provides the City with greater flexibility to address project-specific and cumulative environmental impacts on a comprehensive basis. Agencies generally prepare Program EIR’s for programs or a series of related actions that are linked geographically, are logical parts of a chain of contemplated events, rules, regulations, or plans that govern the conduct of a continuing program, or are individual activities carried out under the same authority and having generally similar environmental effects that can be mitigated in similar ways. Once a Program EIR has been prepared, subsequent activities within the program must be evaluated to determine whether an additional CEQA document needs to be prepared. However, if the Program EIR addresses the program’s effects as specifically and comprehensively as possible, many subsequent activities could be found to be within the Program EIR scope and additional environmental documents may not be required (Guidelines Section 15168(c)). When a Program EIR is relied on for a subsequent activity, the Lead Agency must incorporate feasible mitigation measures and alternatives developed in the Program EIR into the subsequent activities (Guidelines Section 15168(c)(3)). If a subsequent activity would have effects not within the scope of the Program EIR, the Lead Agency must prepare a new Initial Study leading to a Negative Declaration, Mitigated Negative Declaration, or an EIR. In this case, the Program EIR still serves a valuable purpose as the first-tier environmental analysis. The CEQA Guidelines (Section 15168(h)) encourage the use of Program EIR’s, citing five advantages: • Provide a more exhaustive consideration of impacts and alternatives than would be practical in an individual EIR; • Focus on cumulative impacts that might be slighted in a case-by-case analysis; • Avoid continual reconsideration of recurring policy issues; • Consider broad policy alternatives and programmatic mitigation measures at an early stage when the agency has greater flexibility to deal with them; and, • Reduce paperwork by encouraging the reuse of data (through tiering). 1.3 PROJECT LOCATION The Platinum Triangle (hereinafter also referred to as the project area) is located at the confluence of Interstate (I-5) and State Route 57 (SR-57), in the City of Anaheim in Orange County, California. It is located in the south-central portion of the City of Anaheim. The approximate 820-acre project area is located generally east of I-5, west of the Santa Ana River Channel and SR-57, south of the Southern California Edison easement, and north of the Anaheim City limit. The Platinum Triangle encompasses the Angel Stadium of Anaheim, the Honda Center, the Grove of Anaheim, and surrounding light industrial buildings, industrial parks, distribution facilities, offices, hotels, restaurants, and retail uses. A number of mixed-use developments have been constructed or are under construction. ---PAGE BREAK--- 1. Executive Summary Page 1-6 • The Planning Center August 2010 1.4 PROJECT SUMMARY The City of Anaheim proposes to increase the amount of residential, commercial, office, and institutional development intensities permitted in the Platinum Triangle as shown in Table 1-1. The Proposed Project has reduced the amount of office and commercial square footage and increased the amount of residential units being requested as compared to the previous Platinum Triangle Expansion Project analyzed in Final SEIR No. 334. These modifications were made in an effort to improve the overall jobs/housing balance in the Platinum Triangle at buildout, encourage a full range of transit oriented development opportunities for ARTIC, and reduce traffic impacts to the City of Orange. Table 1-1 Proposed Platinum Triangle Development Intensities Land Use Adopted Proposed Increase Residential Units 10,266 18,909 8,643 Commercial Square Feet 2,264,400 4,909,682 2,645,282 Office Square Feet 5,055,550 14,340,522 9,284,972 Institutional Square Feet 0 1,500,000 1,500,000 The Proposed Project would expand the General Plan Mixed Use land use designation within the Platinum Triangle, create two new mixed use districts, and expand two existing mixed use districts within PTMU Overlay Zone. District development intensity maps that break down the allocated development in the Platinum Triangle Mixed-Use Districts by sub-areas have also been developed and are included in Appendix I of the SEIR No. 339. Development that occurs within the Platinum Triangle is implemented through the processing of subdivision maps and the submittal of plans for building permits unless a conditional use permit or a variance are required. Development in the PTMU Overlay Zone also requires approval of a Master Site Plan and/or a Final Site Plan and a Development Agreement. Specifically, the Proposed Project includes technical refinements and clarifications to the documents that govern and regulate development within the Platinum Triangle—the General Plan, the PTMLUP, and the PTMU Overlay Zone. Below is a description of the proposed amendments to each of these documents. General Plan A. Amend the Land Use Element (Figure LU-4: Land Use Plan) to: a. Redesignate approximately 191 acres from the Office High land use designation to the Mixed Use designation; and b. Redesignate approximately 17 acres from the Institutional land use designation to the Mixed Use designation. c. Reflect a recently constructed park and parks required by approved development agreements. B. Amend the Land Use Element (Table LU-4: General Plan Density Provisions for Specific Areas of the City) as shown in Table 1-2, Existing and Proposed General Plan Density Provisions, to: ---PAGE BREAK--- 1.

PTMU Overlay Zone Amend Chapter 18.20 PTMU Overlay Zone of Title 18 of the Anaheim Municipal Code, as shown in further detail in Appendix I, Proposed Amendments to the Platinum Triangle Master Land Use Plan, to: A. Reflect the proposed General Plan and PTMLUP amendments; B. Provide development standards for the ARTIC, Stadium, Arena, and Office Districts; and, C. Modify zoning standards, including, but not limited to, vacant lots and setbacks and parking structure requirements for hotels and offices. Zoning Reclassification The Proposed Project includes a request to add the PTMU Overlay Zone to the properties within the new ARTIC and Office Districts and the expanded areas of the Katella and Orangewood Districts. Related Infrastructure Upgrades The Proposed Project also includes upgrades to existing infrastructure to serve the proposed increased intensity of land uses. These upgrades include roadway improvements, including a railroad grade separation project along State College Boulevard, between Katella Avenue and Howell Avenue; sewer ---PAGE BREAK--- 1. Executive Summary Page 1-10 • The Planning Center August 2010 upgrades; a new water well; a new electrical substation; natural gas infrastructure improvements; and an additional fire station. These improvements are further discussed in Sections 5.9 and 5.10 and Appendix J. More specific design and location of infrastructure facilities as related to specific development projects would be reviewed as part of subsequent plan approvals tentative tract maps, street improvement plans, storm drain improvement plans, and Caltrans encroachment permits). The necessary on-site infrastructure that would be provided as part of future projects would be constructed by future property owner/developers, the City of Anaheim, and/or the utility provider, as determined by the City of Anaheim and/or other responsible agencies. State College Boulevard Railroad Undercrossing: The AT&SF railroad currently crosses State College Boulevard approximately 250 feet north of Wright Circle within the Platinum Triangle. In order to improve traffic flow and safety, the City of Anaheim is working with the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) on an underpass concept at this location. To accommodate this concept, the State College Boulevard profile requires depression from about 950 feet north to 750 feet south of the railroad crossing. The profiles of Wright Circle and Howell Avenue will need to be adjusted to meet the proposed grade of State College Boulevard. In anticipation of a future railroad grade separation project along State College Boulevard between Katella Avenue and Howell Avenue, a retaining wall was constructed along the southerly right-of-way of Wright Circle and the westerly right-of-way of State College Boulevard adjacent to the Stadium Lofts building. The retaining wall has a maximum height of 14 feet and was designed to be buried during the interim condition until such time that the grade separation project is constructed. The retaining wall design took into consideration the preliminary road profile of the undercrossing from a previous OCTA study and also accounted for a 3:1 landscaped slope from the back of the sidewalk to the face of wall. Portions of the retaining wall adjacent to Wright Circle and State College Boulevard that will be visible from the right-of-way upon completion of the railroad grade separation project were constructed with a decorative brick finish. The location and concept illustration of the grade separation are shown in Figure 3-12. Utilities along State College Boulevard need to be relocated due to the depressed profile of the undercrossing. Existing utilities include a water line, two sewer lines, a storm drain pipe, a gas line, and two underground power conduits. A pump station will be required for pumping stormwater at the sag point. The City has indicated that the pump station for the sewer line is not allowed along State College Boulevard, and that sewer lines need to be relocated within a sewer easement. Water Well: A new water well is proposed adjacent to the proposed Fire Station No. 12 between Anaheim Way and Santa Cruz Street south of Stanford Court, as shown on Figure 3-13. The new well will have a capacity between 3,000 and 4,000 gallons per minute (gpm), and equipped at an initial production rate of 1,500 gpm. Discharge piping for the new well will connect to the existing 12-inch diameter main in Anaheim Way and the existing 10-inch diameter main in Santa Cruz Street. The building setback requirements and architectural treatments for the new well facility will blend with proposed Fire Station No. 12. Additional information regarding the water well is provided in Section 5.3. Electrical Substation: An electrical substation is proposed adjacent to the new water well at the corner of Orangewood Avenue and Anaheim Way. Construction of the substation will be by the electrical utility provider. ---PAGE BREAK--- 1. Executive Summary SEIR No. 339 City of Anaheim • Page 1-11 Natural Gas: The Southern California Gas Company has indicated that alterations to the existing system and infrastructure improvements would be required. Future street and infrastructure improvements would be coordinated with the appropriate service providers. 1.5 SUMMARY OF PROJECT ALTERNATIVES CEQA states that an EIR must address “a range of reasonable alternatives to the project, or to the location of the project, which could feasibly attain the basic objectives of the project, but would avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant effects of the project and evaluate the comparative merits of the alternatives” (14 Cal. Code of Reg. 15126.6[a]). As described in Section 7.0 of this SEIR, three project alternatives were identified and analyzed for relative impacts as compared to the Proposed Project: 1) No Project/Existing MLUP Alternative 2) Reduced Intensity Alternative 3) Increased Residential Intensity Alternative All three alternatives were selected for further analysis in this SEIR and are evaluated in greater depth in Section 7, Alternatives to the Proposed Project. 1.5.1 No-Project/Existing MLUP Alternative This alternative, which is required by CEQA, assumes that the Adopted MLUP and the Platinum Triangle Mixed Use (PTMU) Overlay Zone would remain unchanged. The properties designated by the General Plan for Mixed Use, Institutional, Industrial, Office-High and Office-Low land use would remain unchanged. The Katella and Orangewood Mixed Use Districts would not be expanded. The Office District and ARTIC Mixed Use District would not be created. Therefore, this alternative would not require a General Plan Amendment or amendments to the Platinum Triangle MLUP. As a result, the No- Project/Existing MLUP Alternative assumes a total of 10,266 dwelling units, a maximum overall commercial density of 2,264,400 square feet, and a maximum overall office density of 5,055,550 square feet. 1.5.2 Reduced Intensity Alternative This alternative would reduce proposed intensity increases by 30 percent. Implementation of this alternative would result in a total of 16,316 residential units, 4,116,097 square feet of commercial uses, 11,555,030 square feet of office uses, and 1,050,000 square feet of institutional uses within the PTMU Overlay Zone. The intent of this alternative is to reduce the impacts associated with implementation of the Platinum Triangle MLUP while achieving the basic goals and objectives established in the City’s General Plan. 1.5.3 Increased Residential Intensity Alternative The Increased Residential Intensity Alternative would convert some of office uses to residential intensity and commercial/retail and institutional square footages would remain. This Alternative would allow a maximum of 23,500 dwelling units, 11,714,038 square feet of office, 4,909,682 square feet of commercial/retail, and 1,500,000 square feet of institutional within the PTMU Overlay Zone. The increased Residential Intensity Alternative would reduce 2,626,484 square feet of office use from the Proposed Project and add 4,591 additional residential units. The resulting intensities would result in a ---PAGE BREAK--- 1. Executive Summary Page 1-12 • The Planning Center August 2010 more balanced jobs/housing ratio but exacerbate other environmental impacts associated with residential increases such as the need for additional recreation and education facilities where there may not be adequate available sites. 1.6 ISSUES TO BE RESOLVED Section 15123(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines requires that an EIR contain issues to be resolved, including the choice among alternatives and whether or how to mitigate significant impacts. With regard to the Proposed Project, the major issues to be resolved include decisions by the lead agency as to: 1) Whether this SEIR adequately describes the environmental impacts of the project. 2) Whether the benefits of the project override those environmental impacts that cannot be feasibly avoided or mitigated to a level of insignificance. 3) Whether the proposed land use changes are compatible with the character of the existing area. 4) Whether the identified goals, policies, or mitigation measures should be adopted or modified. 5) Whether there are other mitigation measures that should be applied to the project besides those identified in the SEIR. 6) Whether there are any alternatives to the project that would substantially lessen any of the significant impacts of the Proposed Project and achieve most of the basic project objectives. 1.7 AREAS OF CONTROVERSY During the NOP Review period and the scoping meeting the following issues were raised as areas of concern. 1. ARTIC – The City of Anaheim is currently preparing an environmental document for construction of ARTIC. The ARTIC project is discussed in the context of the Proposed Project throughout this SEIR. Approval of the Proposed Project is not required for the implementation of the ARTIC project. 2. Provision of affordable housing opportunities within the Platinum Triangle (Inclusionary Housing Requirements) – NOP comments indicated that because the Proposed Project would create a range of employment opportunities at all income levels, housing opportunities should also be provided for all income groups in the Platinum Triangle. Please refer to Section 5.6, Population and Housing, for a discussion of housing affordability within the City of Anaheim. 3. Land Use Decisions related to the Stadium District – A comment by Public Law Center indicated that of special concern are control over and land use decisions related to the areas immediately surrounding the footprint of Angel’s Stadium, irrespective of the terms of any leases. Currently the lease between the City of Anaheim and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim precludes development of residential uses on the stadium property. This issue deals with the contractual arrangement between the City and the Angels. It does not involve any physical impact that needs to be addressed in the SEIR. The SEIR analyzes what the Proposed Project will allow, not what any specific lease agreement permits. ---PAGE BREAK--- 1. Executive Summary SEIR No. 339 City of Anaheim • Page 1-13 4. Job training and local hiring – A comment from OCCORD indicated that it would be beneficial for the Platinum Triangle to address issues pertaining to local hiring and job training in an effort to improve several neighborhoods near the Platinum Triangle. This issue is not discussed in the SEIR because it does not relate to physical impacts on the environment, as required by CEQA. This SEIR has taken into consideration the comments received from the public, various agencies, and jurisdictions in response to the Notice of Preparation. Written comments received during the NOP and scoping period are contained in Appendix B. 1.8 SUMMARY OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS, MITIGATION MEASURES, AND LEVELS OF SIGNIFICANCE AFTER MITIGATION Table 1-4 summarizes the conclusions of the environmental analysis contained in this SEIR. Impacts are identified as significant or less than significant, and for all significant impacts mitigation measures are identified. The level of significance after imposition of the mitigation measures is also presented. ---PAGE BREAK--- 1.
