The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-1 3.1 Regional Location The Specific Plan area is located in the City of Anaheim, 35 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles and 7 miles northwest of Santa Ana, in Central Orange County, Califor- nia. Exhibit 3.1a shows the regional location of the project. The project site is located southwest of Interstate 5 and is accessible from the interchanges at Ball Road/West Street/ Disneyland Drive, Harbor Boulevard, and Katella Avenue/ Disney Way. 3.2 Existing Conditions This section contains a description of the Specific Plan area and other relevant existing conditions. 3.2.1 The Specific Plan Area The Specific Plan Area is located within The Anaheim Resort, an area designated on 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 3.2.1a shows the location of the Specific Plan area within The Anaheim Resort boundaries. Harbor Boulevard and West Street/Dis- neyland Drive are the main north-south thoroughfares through the project site. Katella Avenue and Ball Road are ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-2 the main east-west thoroughfares. Interstate 5 forms the northeastern boundary of the Specific Plan area. 3.2.2 Existing Uses The current uses within the Specific Plan area include the existing Disneyland theme park and parking lot, the Dis- neyland Hotel complex, land currently used for agricultural purposes, and the back-of-house support and administra- tive facilities that serve the theme park. Typical uses in the back-of-house area include: storage facilities, mechanical equipment, Disneyland employee changing areas, adminis- trative offices, parking and other facilities associated with the operation of the theme park. In addition to the uses as- sociated with the existing Disneyland theme park, several parcels included within the Specific Plan area are currently occupied by other uses, including hotels, parking lots, res- taurants, retail shops, recreational vehicle and camp- grounds, a tennis club, and a service station, or are currently vacant. A variety of commercial, retail, hotels/motels and visitor and convention-serving uses surround the project site. The Anaheim Convention Center is located on the south side of Katella Avenue, west of Harbor Boulevard. The Specific Plan area is generally north and east of the Anaheim Convention Center. Residential neighborhoods consisting of single-fam- ily homes and multiple-family dwelling units are located west of Walnut Street and immediately north of Ball Road. Similar residential uses and a mobile home park are located south and east of the Future Expansion District of the Spe- cific Plan area. Agricultural uses are located immediately south of the Future Expansion District. Exhibit 3.2.2a is an aerial photograph of The Anaheim Re- sort and Exhibit 3.2.2b shows the general location of the ex- isting uses within the Specific Plan area. The Disneyland Specific Plan boundaries are also identified. ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-3 ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-4 ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-5 ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-6 3.3 Land Use Plan The 489.7-acre Disneyland Resort includes five land use districts: the 292-acre Theme Park District, the 97-acre Ho- tel District, the 57.1-acre Parking District, the 24.7-acre Future Expansion District and the 18.9-acre District A. In addition, a C-R Overlay and the Anaheim GardenWalk Overlay apply to particular parcels within the Specific Plan area. This section contains a general description of each District and the C-R and Anaheim GardenWalk Overlays, while Section 7.0, ‘Zoning and Development Standards,’ contains specific, de- tailed, district zoning and development standards. The exhibits on the following pages summarize development in the Specific Plan area. Exhibit 3.3b, the Development Plan, shows the boundaries of each District. Its accompanying ta- ble, Exhibit 3.3a, is a summary table that includes perti- nent facts about the size and intensity of development for each District. Further information about development can be found in Exhibit 3.3.5a, (the C-R Overlay) and Exhibit 3.3.6a (the Anaheim GardenWalk Overlay), which show the loc- ation of areas where the provisions of these overlays will ap- ply. With adoption of The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan, the Development Plan and C-R and Anaheim GardenWalk Overlays will serve as the zoning maps for The Disneyland Re- sort. ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-7 Development Area Summary Development Area Name Land Use Area (acres) Existing & Proposed Development Theme Park District (Development Area I) Existing Disneyland Planned Disneyland and Back- of- house uses Administration Building Administration Building Parking New Theme Park & Back-of-house Uses Hotel Rooms Parking for Hotels & Theme Park Uses Theme Park Parking 136 9 147 2,600,000 900,000 475,000 2,300 3,350,000 5,000 sf sf sf spaces sf (2 & 3) rooms spaces spaces Hotel District (Development Area 2) Hotel Rooms (inc 1,000 existing rooms) Retail / Restaurant Parking Spaces (inc. 570 existing spaces) Meeting Room /Convention Space 97 5,600 300,000 9,930 200,000 rooms sf Spaces (2 & 3) sf Parking District (Development Area 3) East Parking Area West Parking Area 30.1 27 17,600 16,700 Spaces (3 & 4) Spaces Future Expansion District (Development Area 4) Theme Park Parking Spaces 24.7 0 5,100 sf spaces District A (Development Area 5) Commercial Recreation Uses 18.9 rooms Combined total existing and proposed 489.7 7,825,000 5,600 51,630 sf rooms spaces C-R Overlay within Theme Park District within Hotel District within Parking District East Parking Area within Future Expansion District Subtotal 19.5 0.5 30.1 1.1 51.2 Anaheim GardenWalk Overlay within Parking District East Parking Area / C-R Overlay within District A Subtotal 10.2 18.9 29.1 Notes: Includes existing and anticipated new development to service existing & new hotels Up to 1,000 rooms with their accompanying parking may be constructed within the Theme Park District and up to 350,000 square feet of a retail entertainment center may be constructed in the Theme Park and/or Hotel District(s) Number of spaces will be determined by the provisions of section 7.0, “Zoning and Development Standards” Up to 5,000 of the guest parking spaces identified for the East Parking Area may be located in the Theme Park District The C-R Overlay may be developed with hotel rooms or visitor-serving uses and / or parking facilities: see Section 3.5.5 ”C-R Overlay’ Zoning and Development Standards permit theme park uses in the Future Expansion District Up to 75 hotel rooms per gross acre are permitted in District A The Anaheim GardenWalk Overlay as amended may be developed with the Anaheim GardenWalk project subject to the approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 4078, as amended, or with uses set forth in District A or the Parking District (East Parking Area C-R Overlay (refer to Exhibit 3.3.6b) Exhibit 3.3a – Land Use Plan Development Summary Tabulation ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-8 ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-9 3.3.1 Theme Park District The Theme Park District is the largest of the land use areas within the Specific Plan area, and includes approximately 292 acres. This District is intended to accommodate two theme parks—the existing Disneyland theme park and a new theme park, their attendant back-of-house uses, park- ing, administration, ticketing areas, retail, entertainment, dining, commercial, and landscape area. In addition, up to 1,000 hotel rooms will be permitted within this District (not including the rooms permitted in areas subject to the C-R Overlay designation). The following is a brief description of each of the major uses within the Theme Park District. The existing 136-acre Disneyland theme park contains theme attractions, retail uses and restaurants. Disneyland will continue to renovate, upgrade, and add new attrac- tions, as it has since it first opened. Also a part of the existing Disneyland theme park, the North and West Service Areas contain maintenance facilities, parking, accessory uses, and staging areas referred to as the back-of-house. They are located north and west of the existing Disneyland theme park. Currently, this area in- cludes approximately 1 million square feet of enclosed building area. An additional 500,000 square feet of en- closed building area will be added. Access to these areas will be from Ball Road, Harbor Boulevard and West Street/ Disneyland Drive. The Disneyland Administration Building is located on 9 acres in the northeast corner of the Theme Park District ad- jacent to Interstate 5. The 4- to 5-story building (approxi- mately 75 feet tall) will contain approximately 475,000 square feet of office and related uses. The building will be constructed in two phases. The first phase is already com- pleted and consists of 330,000 square feet to serve existing personnel. An eight-level, 80-foot high parking facility con- taining up to 1,800 parking spaces is located immediately west of the office building. The second phase will consist of up to 145,000 square feet to serve additional personnel and the addition of up to 500 more parking spaces. Access to the site is from Ball Road via the existing entrance into the Dis- neyland back-of-house area, and from West Street/Disneyland Drive. ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-10 The new theme park will be located on the existing Disney- land South Parking Lot. This theme park will contain a total of 147 acres of attractions, an amphitheater, retail, dining, hotel, ticketing, pedestrian circulation, parking, and open space, including support uses and service access. The theme park is currently in the early stages of design and de- velopment, and a precise description of the park and its contents is not yet final. However, the theme park will con- tain up to 3.35 million square feet of development, includ- ing theme park attractions, back-of-house, ticketing, up to 5,000 guest parking spaces, and service access areas. Up to 1,000 hotel rooms may be constructed as part of the theme park. If any of these rooms are not constructed in the theme park, then the number of rooms permitted in the Ho- tel District will increase by an equal amount of rooms. The total number of rooms permitted within The Disneyland Re- sort, however, will not exceed 5,600 rooms, excluding those rooms permitted by District A and the C-R and Anaheim GardenWalk Overlays (discussed in Section 3.3.3.5, District A and in Section 3.3.5, C-R Overlay and Section 3.3.6, Anaheim GardenWalk Overlay). Guest and visitor vehicular ac- cess to hotel rooms within the Theme Park District will be from West Street/Disneyland Drive. Up to 350,000 square feet of the theme park square footage may be developed as retail entertainment center uses in the Theme Park and/or Hotel District(s), with associated parking within the Hotel District. The retail entertainment center use may straddle West Street/Disneyland Drive. A Pedestrian Way (included in the theme park acreage) will connect Harbor Boulevard to West Street/Disneyland Drive and will separate the two theme parks. Although this link has not yet been designed, it is intended to provide access to the ticketing area for the two theme parks. It will contain the ticket booths that serve each theme park, as well as the entries into the theme parks themselves. The total area has not yet been established, and any land not utilized by the Pedestrian Way will be used for other uses permitted within the Theme Park District. Substantial area with The Disneyland Resort has been designed to encourage utilization by pedestrians in a park- like setting linking key areas of the project. The pedestrian amenities will include landscaped pedestrian walkways linking West Street/Disneyland Drive to Harbor Boulevard; and a new entry plaza for Disneyland and the new theme ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-11 park where a pedestrian and/or transportation system(s) will drop off guests from the parking facilities and hotels. An eating area outside the paid gates, easily accessible to park guests, within the Theme Park District for those who bring their own food will be provided. Design features will include a 50-table layout with comparable spacing to other theme park eating areas. Drinking fountains, security, landscaping, lighting, vending machines and nearby rest- rooms/locker facilities will also be provided. The eastern entry to the Theme Park District will be located on Harbor Boulevard across and north from Disney Way. A drop-off area (illustrated diagrammatically in Exhib- it 4.4a, ‘Mass Transit Systems,’ and Exhibit 4.4.2a, ‘Con- ceptual Diagram for Theme Park Drop-off Area’) will be located near this entry to accommodate visitors arriving by bus or shuttle vehicles. The pedestrian and/or transporta- tion system(s) may pass through the eastern entry on its way to the theme park ticketing area, as will pedestrians who cross Harbor Boulevard from hotels located to the east of the Theme Park District. The Specific Plan establishes a building envelope consisting of maximum building heights and minimum setbacks from property lines in which theme park uses will be contained. Exhibit 5.8.3a, ‘Theme Park District Concept Plan,’ is a plan which shows the setbacks proposed for this District, as well as the location of representative cross sections which show the proposed treatment of the exterior edges of the Theme Park District. Generally, adjacent to Katella Avenue, Harbor Boulevard, and the southern half of West Street/Disney- land Drive, the maximum height at the setback will be lim- ited to 45 feet. Maximum heights may then increase at the rate of 1 foot of additional height for each two additional feet of setback from the adjacent property line. This type of height regulation, known as ‘sky exposure plane’ (see di- agram in the left margin) helps create a more attractive pe- destrian environment. The maximum height permitted in the District is 300 feet, which will be limited to a single spe- cial element which will serve as the new theme park’s main thematic element. Although other structural elements may be built to a maximum height of 250 feet, few elements will rise this high; rather, the intent is to establish a building height hierarchy in which most elements will range from 50 ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-12 to 100 feet high, a few will rise to establish visual interest and orientation within the theme park, and a single one, the main thematic element, will stand out. Exhibit 1 (a folded map in the back of this document) shows the maximum heights permitted within the Theme Park District except for portions of the District subject to the height limits at the setback and the sky exposure plane. In the Disneyland back-of-house (the North and West Ser- vice Areas), building heights will be limited so that buildings do not visually intrude upon the theme parks. On Ball Road there will not be the limit on heights at the setback line and the 2:1 sky exposure plane that have been established for the portions of the Theme Park District adjacent to Katella Avenue, Harbor Boulevard, and the southern half of West Street/Disneyland Drive. Since the pedestrian activity is lower on Ball Road, it does not have these height restric- tions. Typical buildings in the back-of-house will range in height from 50 to 80 feet. The following table is a summary of the proposed develop- ment program for the Theme Park District with the excep- tion of the C-R Overlay, which is described in Section 3.3.5. ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-13 3.3.2 Hotel District The Hotel District is the second largest district within The Disneyland Resort and covers approximately 97 acres. The Hotel District is intended for hotels, accessory retail, recre- ational uses swimming pools, tennis courts, etc.), and landscaped areas. The Specific Plan proposes reconfigura- tion and renovation of the existing Disneyland Hotel and the construction of two or three new hotels. Portions of the Dis- neyland Hotel, as well as other existing motels included in this District, will be demolished to accommodate the new hotels. The Hotel District will contain approximately 4,600 hotel rooms including approximately 1,000 existing rooms in the Disneyland Hotel that will be retained and renovated, and 3,600 new hotel rooms. Up to 1,000 more hotel rooms may be added to the Hotel District if they are not constructed in the Theme Park District, bringing the total number of hotel rooms permitted within The Disneyland Resort to 5,600 rooms (excluding hotel rooms which currently exist or may be built within District A and the C-R and Anaheim GardenWalk Overlays). Up to 350,000 feet of Theme Park District square footage may be constructed in the Theme Park and/or Hotel District(s) as retail entertainment center uses. A total of 132 rooms will be demolished at the Disneyland Hotel. In addition, 1,328 rooms located on property owned or controlled by The Walt Disney Company will be demo- lished as they are replaced by proposed uses. Some of the hotels will include meeting and convention fa- cilities, though the hotels are intended primarily to serve visitors to the theme parks. The meeting facilities are in- tended to meet the needs of the hotel guests. Accessory re- tail uses, including shops, restaurants, and service businesses will also be permitted within the Hotel District. This retail development will not have separate parking facil- ities and will be included within the hotel building complex- es. Altogether, an estimated 200,000 square feet of meeting space and 300,000 square feet of other retail/restaurant support uses are planned. The following table is a summary of the proposed development program for the Hotel District (except for the C-R Overlay, which is described in Section 3.3.5). It also includes a list of existing uses for information- al purposes. ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-14 The site elements of the Hotel District—buildings, vehicle circulation/access, parking facilities, landscaped open space, recreation facilities, and pedestrian paths—will be arranged in a way that focuses visitors inward to the center of the District. To achieve this, parking facilities will generally be located at the perimeter of the site, and hotel buildings in the center. The hotel buildings will be oriented to landscaped open spaces, recreation areas, and pedestrian paths that will help create a resort environment. A central pedestrian walk will connect the hotel buildings together, and to the transition area on the west side of the Theme Park District adjacent to West Street/Disneyland Drive. Exhibit 5.8.3b, ‘Hotel District Concept Plan,’ shows conceptually how the principal site elements of the Hotel District will be arranged. It also includes information about the setbacks proposed for this District, as well as the location of representative cross sections which show the proposed treatment of the exterior edges of the Hotel District. The following paragraphs describe in more detail the character of the Hotel District. ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-15 Visitors and hotel guests arriving at the Hotel District by vehicle will enter the District from West Street/Disneyland Drive. The Major entries into the hotels will be oriented to West Street/Disneyland Drive, which will have a unique resort character created by landscaped parkways and special street features such as banners, night lighting, or other elements intended to create a festive resort atmosphere (Section 5.0, ‘Design Plan,’ contains a more detailed description of the character of West Street/Disneyland Drive). Cerritos Avenue (which will be relocated up to 1,100 feet north of its current alignment within the District) will provide only minor guest and visitor access to the District. Signs and a median barrier in Walnut Street will direct vehicle traffic to and from the District via West Street/ Disneyland Drive. Walnut Street will be used only for service and maintenance access via the existing service entrance to the Disneyland Hotel and for emergency vehicles. No direct ingress or egress to hotel parking facilities intended for Hotel District guest of employee use will be permitted from Walnut Street. The hotel parking facilities may be in parking structures located adjacent to Walnut Street. These facilities will be set back a minimum of 30 feet from the Walnut Street public right-of-way. Additional parking facilities, including parking structures and surface parking lots may be located any- where within the Hotel District, though most facilities will be located at the perimeter, consistent with the overall sight design concept. More information about the design and treatment of parking facilities on Walnut Street can be found in Section 5.0, ‘Design Plan’. The total number of parking spaces provided will be consistent with the parking requirements contained in Section 7.0, ‘Zoning and Development Standards.’ Based on the program summary in Exhibit 3.3.2a, the maximum number of parking spaces planned for the Hotel District would be 9,930 spaces, though the actual number could vary, depending on the number of theme park parking places located in the District and the amount of conference and meeting room space and other guest amenities provided within each hotel. ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-16 Access from the hotels to the theme parks may be via monorail and pedestrian walks that connect the hotels in the District and one grade-separated over crossing of West Street/ Disneyland Drive. The Mass Transit and Pedestrian Circulation Plans contained within Section 4.0, ‘Public Facilities Plan,’ (Sections 4.4 and 4.5) describe the access in more detail and contain drawings that show conceptually how access will be provided. The three existing Disneyland Hotel towers will remain, but the low-rise buildings may be removed and replaced with new buildings or parking facilities that will either become part of the existing Disneyland Hotel complex, or part of a retail entertainment center located to the east with access from West Street/Disneyland Drive. A new hotel complex may be located at the north end of the District south of the realigned Cerritos Avenue. This new hotel’s parking facility may be located immediately adjacent to the new hotel, and access will be from West Street/ Disneyland Drive or Cerritos Avenue. Another new hotel complex may be located south of the existing Disneyland Hotel. In order to provide a pleasing pedestrian experience on the surrounding streets, the buildings in the Hotel District will have a maximum height of 45 feet (40 feet on Walnut Street) at the required street setback. Behind the setback, building heights may increase at a rate of 1 foot of height for each 2 feet of additional setback from the property line. This limit on building heights will require buildings immediately adjacent to the setback and more than four or five stories tall to step back from the street. This requirement is called a “sky exposure plane” because of the way it permits more light to reach the street; it also has the effect of reducing the apparent bulk and mass of any building. The maximum permitted building height in the Hotel District may vary from 40 to 150 feet depending on the building’s location within the District. Exhibit 1, ‘Maximum Permitted Structural Height’ (a folded map in the back of this document) shows the maximum permitted heights within the Hotel District for portions of the District not subject to the height limits at the setback and the sky exposure plane. To further enhance the resort experience, an internal pedes- trian system will connect the hotels with the west entry ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-17 to the Theme Park District (see Section 3.3.1). This connec- tion may be located adjacent to internal driveways, or may be a self-contained internal greenbelt. The connection may actually pass through a hotel building as it winds through the District. The streets surrounding the Hotel District will feature street trees within the public right-of-way, and required landscaped setbacks will provide an additional buffer between the hotels and adjacent streets. To increase the landscape area within the public streets, a 15-foot wide landscaped median will be added to both West Street/Disneyland Drive and Walnut Street. 3.3.3 Parking District The Parking District is intended to accommodate the public day-use parking facilities within the Specific Plan. The parking facilities will have a convenient access to Interstate 5 via ramps intended to accommodate the traffic associated with The Disneyland Resort. The pedestrian and/or trans- portation system(s) will transport guests from the parking areas to the ticketing and entry area for Disneyland and the new theme park. In addition, two grade-separated pedestrian crossings are planned for Harbor Boulevard at Disney Way and on West Street/Disneyland Drive. The total capacity of the parking facilities will be based on the anticipated annual attendance as provided for in Section 7.0, ‘Zoning and Development Standards.’ The Harbor Boulevard grade-separated pedestrian crossing at Disney Way would be planned as part of the East Parking Facility. The West Parking Area, located between West Street/ Disneyland Drive and Walnut Street, north of Cerritos Avenue will contain approximately 16,700 spaces on 27 acres and will serve visitors and Resort cast arriving from the north. This facility will contain six levels with a maximum height of 65 feet. Primary public ingress and egress to the facility will be via West Street/Disneyland Drive only. There will be no access to or from Walnut Street from this parking facility. Right turn in and left turn out only, public ingress and egress to the facility will be provided via Cerritos Avenue. The East Parking Area covers approximately 30.1 acres and will accommodate up to 17,600 spaces in a parking facility which will occupy a portion of the 30.1 acres. It is anticipated ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-18 that the East Parking Area would be constructed in Phase III as discussed in Section 3.4, ‘Phasing Plan.’ The parking facility north of Katella Avenue will be a maximum of seven levels and the maximum height will be 75 feet. Since the parking facility will occupy only a portion of the 30.1 acres in the East Parking Area, the remaining acres will become hotel or other visitor-serving uses as provided for in the C-R and Anaheim GardenWalk Overlays (See Sections 3.3.5 and 3.3.6). Final layout for the parking facility in the East Parking Area will be subject to Planning Commission Review as a Report and Recommendation item. Exhibit 3.3.3a summarizes the development ultimately proposed for the Parking District. Ingress to the parking facility will be via connections with Interstate 5 at Disney Way and Katella Avenue. Egress will be via Disney Way and Clementine Street. Section 4.0, ‘Public Facilities Plan,’ contains additional information about access to both the East and West Parking Areas. Parking facilities in both the East and West Parking Areas will be architecturally treated to minimize their impact on the surrounding uses. For example, the parking facility in the West Parking Area will be terraced back on the Walnut Street edge to minimize visual intrusion to the adjacent residential neighborhoods, and landscaped buffers and berms will be provided. Noise attenuation louvers along the openings of the first two levels of the parking facility and solid walls with landscaped planters on the upper levels will be provided. In addition, noise attenuation louvers will be provided along the northern openings adjacent to hotel uses. Landscape will be planted along street edges to conceal their size and mass. Also, any elevations of the parking facility in the East Parking Area adjacent to Katella Avenue will be stepped back from a maximum height of 45 feet at ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-19 the street setback line so that the maximum height of the parking facility will not increase more than 1 foot in height for each additional 2 feet in increased setback. Landscaping in the setbacks will further enhance the architectural character of the facilities. A detailed description of the proposed landscaping adjacent to the East and West Parking Areas can be found in Section 5.0, ‘Design Plan’. 3.3.3.5 District A District A permits the area to be subject to the permitted and conditionally permitted uses allowed by the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan as set forth in Chapter 18.116 of the Anaheim Municipal Code. Exhibit 3.3.3.5a is a summary of the potential development within the District. The maximum number of hotel units permitted in this District will be Medium Density or up to 75 hotel/motel rooms per gross acre or 75 rooms per parcel, whichever is greater. For those parcels that are developed with hotel/motel rooms which exceed the maximum density designation, the number of rooms existing on June 29, 1993, the date of adoption of The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Ordinance, may be rebuilt or modified at their existing density. The maximum number of hotel rooms permitted in District A will be in addition to the 5,600 rooms proposed for The Disneyland Resort. 3.3.4 Future Expansion District The 24.7-acre Future Expansion District will accommodate future expansion of The Disneyland Resort. A 5,100-space parking area is proposed in this District. The parking facilities will include surface parking on the western portion of the District and a 5-level parking structure on the eastern portion of the Future Expansion District. Development regulations contained within Section 7.0, ‘Zoning and Development Standards,’ also provide for other types of visitor-serving development within the Future ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-20 Expansion District consistent with the intent of The Anaheim Resort and the C-R Overlay Area. With the exception of the permitted parking facilities, all development in the Future Expansion Area will be subject to further environmental review prior to development. The following table, Exhibit 3.3.4a, contains a summary of the anticipated development intensity. For purpose of environmental impact analysis, the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) prepared for this Specific Plan analyzed the following development intensity. 3.3.5 C-R Overlay The C-R Overlay is a special land use designation that permits certain parcels within The Disneyland Resort to become part of the underlying base District, or to be subject to the permitted and conditionally permitted uses allowed by The Anaheim Resort Specific Plan Zone as set forth in Chapter 18.116 of the Anaheim Municipal Code. Exhibit 3.3.5a is a summary of the potential development of parcels within the C-R Overlay. The maximum number of hotel units permitted on a parcel subject to the provisions of the C-R Overlay as set forth in Section 7.0, ‘Zoning and Development Standards,’ of this document will be the maximum of the following: • For parcels designated Low Density on Exhibit 3.3.5b, ‘C-R Overlay,’ up to 50 hotel/motel rooms per gross acre or 75 rooms per lot or parcel existing on the date of the adoption of the Specific Plan, whichever is greater. • For parcels designated Medium Density on Exhibit 3.3.5b, ‘C-R Overlay,’ up to 75 hotel/motel rooms per gross acre or 75 rooms per lot or parcel existing on the date of the adoption of the Specific Plan, whichever is greater. ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-21 ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-22 • Provided that for those parcels that are developed with hotel/motel rooms which exceed the maximum density designation, that the number of rooms existing on June 29, 1993, the date of the adoption of The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Ordinance, may be rebuilt or modified at their existing density. All parcels within the C-R Overlay will be subject to the same development standards as other parcels in the under- lying District, including building heights, setbacks, landscape requirements, etc. The maximum number of hotel rooms permitted in the C-R Overlay will be in addition to the 5,600 rooms proposed for The Disneyland Resort. How- ever, if the C-R Overlay area is developed with uses defined by the base District, the total number of hotel rooms permitted in The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan area will not exceed 5,600. There are parcels within the C-R Overlay in four of the five Districts. Within the Theme Park District, 19.5 acres have the C-R Overlay designation. The 13.5 acres at the north end of the District will have a maximum density of up to 50 hotel rooms per gross acre, while the 6 acres located near the corner of Harbor Boulevard and Katella Avenue will be permitted a maximum density of up to 75 hotel rooms per gross acre. ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-23 The half of an acre with the C-R Overlay designation in the Hotel District will be permitted a density of up to 50 hotel rooms per gross acre, which is consistent with the density of the surrounding Hotel District use. The 30.1 acres in the East Parking Area are entirely within the C-R Overlay. A density of up to 75 hotel rooms per gross acres will be permitted by the C-R Overlay. The parking facility will cover a portion of the District with the remaining acres to be developed under the C-R Overlay. In the Future Expansion District, the C-R Overlay permits a density of up to 75 units per gross acre. 3.3.6 Anaheim GardenWalk Overlay The 29.1-acre Anaheim GardenWalk Overlay encompasses District A (approximately 18.9 acres) and the portion of the Parking District (East Parking Area)/C-R Overlay south of Disney Way (approximately 10.2 acres) as shown in Exhibit 3.3.6a. This Overlay is a special provision of the Specific Plan that provides for the development of the Anaheim GardenWalk project subject to the approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 4078, as amended. The Anaheim GardenWalk project is a fully-integrated, mixed- use development which will have an integrated management, a festive theme orientation and plaza/pedestrian-oriented amenities, and consist of the following: up to 590,265 square feet of specialty retail, restaurants, and entertainment uses, including movie theaters; 1,628 hotel rooms/suites (including up to 500 vacation ownership resort units) and 278,817 square feet of hotel accessory uses; a transportation center, and 4,800 parking spaces. ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-24 ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-25 Program Summary for Anaheim GardenWalk Overlay Land Use Project Total HOTELS Number 4 hotels Rooms 1,628 rooms (including up to 500 vacation ownership units) Hotel Accessory Uses 278,817 square feet RETAIL/DINING/ENTERTAINMENT (RDE) Specialty Retail 248,033 square feet Dining 163,988 square feet Entertainment 178,244 square feet Total RDE 590,265 square feet PARKING Structured/Covered Parking 1,949,800 square feet 4,800 auto spaces 15 bus spaces Bus Terminal/Facility 7,700 square feet Exhibit 3.36b - Anaheim GardenWalk Overlay Development Program ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-26 The Anaheim GardenWalk project density is set forth in more detail in Exhibit 3.3.6b. The retail/dining/entertainment square footage would include the following: banking facilities; children’s, men’s and women’s apparel, shoes, jewelry and accessories; entertainment facilities (amusement arcades, skating rinks, outdoor recreational playground areas, etc.); shopping services; specialty merchandise, gifts and toys; transportation/ travel services including an automobile rental agency office (with no on-site storage of cars); radio and television studio to enable live and/or taped broadcast facilities at the site; baby-sitting services; fast-food/food court-type and walk-up/specialty restaurants; enclosed and semi-enclosed full-service and theme-type restaurants/clubs with on-site sale and consumption of beer, wine and alcoholic beverages and associated entertainment uses (billiards, dancing, live and recorded performances, etc.) and art galleries/museum uses. The Anaheim GardenWalk Overlay would also permit, as part of Conditional Use Permit No. 4078 as amended, outdoor events and uses held within the confines of Anaheim GardenWalk, out of view of the public right-of-way and not directed toward the public right-of-way including open-air festival events oriented toward tourists and guests for public gatherings, speeches, concerts, presentations or shows); outdoor booths, kiosks, and stands; and outdoor special lighting. In Area A, the majority of the project would be concentrated on three levels of development. Level 1 is at street level at the outer perimeter and descends to approximately three feet below grade at the center of the project. The Street Level would consist primarily of hotel ground floors and parking, and accessory and services uses supporting the restaurants and retail stores, including truck loading areas. Level 2 also starts at street grade at the outer perimeter of the project, beginning at the same point as Level 1. Level 2 is built on an ascending incline over Level 1. At the center of the project, the floor of Level 1 is at four feet below street grade, Level 2 is 14 feet above street grade. Levels 2 and 3 would include the various retail uses listed above and hotel rooms. Remaining hotel rooms would be on higher floors. More detailed descriptions of the various land uses are provided below. The Site Plan for Area B will be determined in connection with the processing of a Final Site Plan prior to the issuance of the first building permit for said Area. ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-27 Hotel Uses The plan depicts up to four hotels on-site. Hotel uses are proposed generally along the perimeter of the project site fronting on Disney Way, Clementine Street, and Katella Avenue. The hotels would feature convention, specialty and family suites-oriented facilities including, but not limited to, banquet and meeting spaces, exercise facilities, restaurants, and retail facilities. In Area A, one hotel is located in the south-eastern portion of the site at the corner of Clementine Street and Katella Avenue. Another hotel is planned at the southwest corner of Disney Way and Clementine Street. One hotel is planned on top of the parking structure on the north side of Katella Avenue. In Area B, a fourth hotel is planned at the southeast corner of Harbor Boulevard and Disney Way. The total number of hotel rooms will be 1,628 . The hotels would be high-rise construction. As currently designed, the hotels would range in height up to 135 feet. The ultimate height of the structures will be deter- mined by the hotel companies who develop within the project site; however, the hotels will comply with the height requirements of The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan, and if shade/ shadow impacts exceed those addressed in this document, additional environmental review will be conducted. Up to 500 of the 1,628 hotel rooms may be developed as Vacation Ownership Resort units. All remaining hotel rooms in the Overlay may be developed as commercial condominium hotels, provided no residential uses are permitted. The final design and ultimate number of hotels will be based on the hotel developer(s) and will be shown on Final Site Plans to be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission prior to issuance of building permits. ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-28 Retail/Dining/Entertainment (RDE) Retail, dining, and entertainment (RDE) uses are located on Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the project. Restaurants include fast-food and food court-type service, semi-enclosed, walk-up/specialty, enclosed full service establishments, and theme-type restaurants. Bus Terminal/Facility in the Parking Structure A bus terminal/facility is planned in conjunction with the project to provide bus transport to and from regional airports for visitors to The Anaheim Resort. In addition, the facility may be used as a terminal for sightseeing bus trips to accommodate hotel visitors. An enclosed loading area on the Street Level in the center of the project will be utilized. Bus ingress and egress is planned to be via Clementine Street. The facility is not planned to serve as a “park and ride” facility for local residents. A high fee will be charged for overnight parking (other than for hotel guests) as a deterrent to use the facility as a park and facility or for other overnight parking needs. Landscaping The perimeter of the project site will be landscaped in accordance with the requirements of The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan. The following fully-landscaped setback areas will be provided: a minimum of 26-foot wide setback adjacent to Harbor Boulevard; a minimum 11-foot wide setback area adjacent to Katella Avenue; a minimum 20-foot wide setback area adjacent to Disney Way and Clementine Street except adjacent to the hotel lot at the southwest corner of Disney Way and Clementine Street where the building height exceeds 75 feet, where the minimum setback will then be 30 feet wide. Temporary landscaping will be installed in the setback area on an interim basis until development occurs on the street frontage adjacent to the setback areas. ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-29 3.4 Phasing Plan Signs A coordinated signage program will be developed for Anaheim GardenWalk. All signage will be reviewed and approved by the Planning Department as being in conformance with the Specific Plan, as amended, or processed with waiver or variance, prior to the issuance of sign permits. Signs which require the approval of a Conditional Use Permit will be processed concurrently with the Final Site Plan. The anticipated opening date for the new theme park is in 2001. Development of The Disneyland Resort is planned to take place in several phases: the first completed in 1996; the second concluding in 2001; the third (build out) completing in 2010. Phasing for development within District A and the C-R Overlay is not known at this time. The Anaheim GardenWalk Overlay project will be an integrated development which will be phased over time. Construction activity of project buildout will progress over the two major project areas (Area A and Area The first phase was projected to open in mid-2007 and includes the specialty retail/dining/entertainment uses of Area A and the parking facilities (with 3,050 spaces). This Initial Phase includes approximately 460,115 square feet of RDE and other commercial uses. The remaining hotel rooms and an additional 150 parking spaces in Area A and development of Area B, with hotel rooms, commercial square footage and 1,600 parking spaces will be added as market conditions permit. ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-30 Exhibit 3.4a shows the location of phasing components. The primary objective of the Phasing Plan is to minimize the effect of construction on the local street thoroughfares and adjacent residential neighborhoods, and to ensure the provision of adequate infrastructure as well as to ensure smooth operation of the existing Disneyland theme park and Disneyland Hotel, Anaheim Convention Center, and other area businesses during construction. Specific improvements associated with each phase are indicated in the following descriptions of each phase and in Section 4.0, Public Facilities Plan,’ which contains information on the phasing of public facilities. 3.4.1 Phase I (1996) The first phase of development has been completed and entailed the construction of the first part of the Disneyland Administration Building and associated parking. This development was on a nine-acre site in the northeast section of the Theme Park District along the I-5 corridor. Approximately 330,000 square feet (of the permitted 475,000 square feet) of the Administration Building has been completed. Also, approximately 1,800 parking spaces (of the permitted 2,300 parking spaces) have been built. ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-31 ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-32 ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-33 3.4.2 Phase II (2001) The second phase is planned to begin with construction of new parking facilities in the West Parking Area, the Future Expansion District, and in the southern area of the Hotel District. Roadway improvements include (but are not limited to): the realignment of West Street/Disneyland Drive between Ball Road and Cerritos Avenue; the lowering of West Street between Cerritos Avenue and Katella to permit a grade-separated pedestrian overpass of West Street/ Disneyland Drive (linking the Resort uses on both sides of the street); construction of the Ball Road over crossing; realignment of Cerritos Avenue, improvements to Katella Avenue, Harbor Boulevard, Disney Way, and Walnut Street. The existing SCE electrical transmission lines will be realigned to the southern boundaries of the Theme Park and Hotel Districts, the 220kV above ground and the 66kV underground. In the Theme Park District, a new central arrival plaza and ticketing area will be built, accommodating guest transportation facilities that link the arrival plaza to the parking facilities and to a new hotel shuttle drop-off area. Most of the existing Disneyland parking lot operations will close to permit construction of the Theme Park District. Also, within the Hotel District, new hotel rooms, dining, meeting space, retail, and entertainment uses will be built, along with associated hotel and theme park guest parking. This phase includes construction in the Hotel District of up to 800 new hotel rooms (in addition to the existing 1,000 rooms of the Disneyland Hotel), 258,000 square feet of retail/dining, 200,000 square feet of meeting space, and up to 9,930 parking spaces, of which 4,200 parking spaces may be for theme park parking; in the Theme Park District, construction of up to 147 acres of a new theme park with a maximum of 2,850,000 square feet of enclosed theme park, retail and entertainment uses, including up to 350,000 square feet of retail entertainment center uses located in the Theme Park and/or Hotel District(s), an additional 145,000 square feet of Administration Building area and associated parking, up to 1,000 hotel rooms and associated parking, and a maximum of 5,000 spaces of public guest parking; in the Parking District, up to 12,000 spaces of public guest parking will be provided in the West Parking Area; and up to 5,100 spaces of cast parking will be provided ---PAGE BREAK--- The Disneyland Resort Specific Plan Section 3.0: Land Use Plan Page 3-34 in the Future Expansion District. Construction of these facilities should be completed in 2001. 3.4.3 Phase III (2010) The third phase, the build out of The Disneyland Resort, is currently planned to be completed by 2010. This phase may include additional hotel rooms in the Hotel District, bringing the total hotel room count to 5,600 hotel rooms (including the 1,000 rooms in the Theme Park District) and 42,000 square feet of retail/dining; expansion of the new theme park up to the permitted 3,350,000 square feet of enclosed development; and up to 16,700 spaces of parking in the West Parking Area and 17,600 spaces in the East Parking Area, with the combined total not exceeding the permitted 34,300 spaces. ---PAGE BREAK---
