Anaheim Housing Opportunities Sites Rezoning Project Draft Supplemental EIR City of Anaheim Page 3-1 3. Project Description 3.1 PROJECT LOCATION Located in northeastern Orange County, the City of Anaheim (“City”) and its Sphere-of-Influence lie approximately 35 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles and seven miles north of Santa Ana, as shown on Figure 3-1, Regional Location. The City is surrounded by the Cities of Fullerton, Placentia, and Yorba Linda to the north; Riverside County to the east; the Cities of Orange, Garden Grove, Stanton, and unincorporated Orange County to the south; and, the Cities of Cypress and Buena Park to the west. The City encompasses over 32,000 acres of land, stretching nearly 20 miles along the Riverside (State Route [SR] - 91) Freeway, and includes another 2,431 acres of unincorporated land within its Sphere-of- Influence, as shown on Figure 3-2, Local Vicinity. In addition to SR-91, regional access to and from Anaheim is provided by the Santa Ana (Interstate - Orange (SR-57) and Costa Mesa (SR-55) Freeways; the Eastern Transportation Corridor (SR-241); and Amtrak and Metrolink passenger train services at the Anaheim and Anaheim Canyon Stations. 3.2 STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES The following objectives have been established for the Anaheim Housing Opportunities Sites Rezoning Project (“Proposed Project”) and will aid decision-makers in their review of the Proposed Project, its associated environmental impacts, and Alternatives: Provide for the implementation of the Housing Element’s Housing Production Strategy 1V, to rezone properties identified as Housing Opportunities Sites in the 2006-2014 General Plan Housing Element and amend the Mixed-Use Overlay Zone, in order to facilitate “by right” housing development at these locations. Facilitate future use of the Statutory Infill Housing Exemption and Senate Bill (SB) 226 streamlining allowed under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) by providing updated community level environmental review. Provide an update of General Plan Land Use Element Table LU-5: Residential Build-Out Estimates and Table LU-6: Non-Residential Build-Out Estimates to reflect all General Plan amendments that have been adopted since the City’s General Plan was adopted in May 2004. 3.3 PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS “Project” is defined by CEQA Guidelines1 Section 15378 as “the whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and that is any of the following: An…enactment and amendment of zoning ordinances, and the adoption and amendment of local General Plans or elements thereof pursuant to Government Code Sections 65100-65700.” 1 References to “CEQA” are to Public Resources Code sections 21000 et seq.

Project Description Page 3-2 July 2013 3.3.1 Project Background On May 25, 2004, the Anaheim City Council certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR) No. 330 (“2004 Certified EIR”) as the environmental documentation for a comprehensive General Plan and Zoning Code Update. As part of these actions, General Plan Amendment No. 2004-00419 was adopted for the General Plan Update and Ordinance No. 5920 was introduced to amend the Zoning Code in its entirety. On June 8, 2004, the Anaheim City Council subsequently adopted Ordinance No. 5920 for the Zoning Code Update. As part of amending the Zoning Code in its entirety, this ordinance added Chapter 18.32, Mixed Use (MU) Overlay Zone, to the Anaheim Municipal Code. Together, these actions are referred to as the “2004 Approved Project.” The General Plan is divided into various topical sections, or Elements, that address a wide range of subjects and provide goals and policies that will guide future development in the City. The General Plan is organized in the following manner: Introduction: The Introduction describes the background, features and structure of the General Plan. Land Use Element: The Land Use Element is a guide, or “blueprint,” for the City’s future development. It designates the distribution and general location of land uses, such as residential, retail, industrial, open space, recreation, and public uses. The Land Use Element also addresses the permitted density and intensity of the various land use designations. Circulation Element: The Circulation Element identifies the general location and extent of existing and proposed major transportation facilities, including major roadways, passenger and freight rail, transit systems and bikeways. The Circulation Element also identifies and provides policy direction for scenic highways, pedestrians and parking. Green Element: The Green Element combines the General Plan’s Conservation; Open Space; and Parks, Recreation and Community Services Elements into a single, comprehensive plan to add more green areas throughout the City and protect and enhance its natural and recreational resources. This includes vital natural resources such as water, energy, air, and wildlife. The Green Element also includes goals and policies related to public landscaping, community identity and enhancing the aesthetics of the City’s corridors. Public Services and Facilities Element: The Public Services and Facilities Element serves to ensure that the provision of various public services and facilities such as fire protection, law enforcement, parks, schools, water, sewer, and storm drain systems are analyzed and addressed in the context of anticipated growth. Growth Management Element: The Growth Management Element is intended to ensure that capital a facility planning keeps pace with future demand resulting from planning activities. It fulfills the mandates of Measure M – the Revised Traffic Improvement and Growth Management Ordinance passed by a Countywide initiative in 1990, and renewed in November 2006 – which allocates sales tax revenue to local jurisdictions and Orange County for transportation improvements. It sets forth goals and a policy related to growth management, and provides implementation and monitoring provisions. ---PAGE BREAK--- Regional Location Anaheim Housing Opportunities Sites Rezoning Project Draft Supplemental EIR The Planning CenterIDC&E • Figure 3-1 3.

Project Description Anaheim Housing Opportunities Sites Rezoning Project Draft Supplemental EIR City of Anaheim Page 3-7 Safety Element: The Safety Element establishes policies and programs to protect the community from risks associated with potential seismic, geologic, flood, and wildfire hazards. The Safety Element assesses natural and man-made hazards present in the community and includes policies to address those hazards. Noise Element: The Noise Element identifies and appraises potential noise sources and includes policies to protect the City from excessive noise. Economic Development Element: The purpose of the Economic Development Element is to guide the City in expanding the local economy, which provides jobs, attracts and retains businesses, supports diverse and vibrant commercial areas, and brings in sufficient revenue to support various local programs and services. To achieve a balanced and healthy economy, the Economic Development Element sets forth the goals and policies necessary to ensure a prosperous economic future. Community Design Element: The Community Design Element contains policies aimed at strengthening community appearance and identity. Community design is addressed on the citywide level, the district level and neighborhood level, covering a broad range of topics including: arterial street design, historic preservation, signage, mixed-use development, activity centers, and neighborhood commercial centers. Housing Element: The Housing Element assesses current and projected housing needs, and sets out policies and proposals for the improvement of housing and the provision of adequate sites for housing to meet the needs of all economic segments of the City. This Element is a stand-alone document that was prepared prior to and separately from the rest of the General Plan Elements. It is important to note that the other General Plan Elements were prepared consistently with the goals and policies of the Housing Element. Since certification of EIR No. 330 for the 2004 Approved Project, a number of changes have occurred including: 1. 42 separate General Plan amendments have been adopted; 2. A new version of the Anaheim Traffic Analysis Model (ATAM) was approved by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) in March 2012; 3. Senate Bill (SB) 97 was signed in to law requiring that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions be analyzed in a CEQA document; and 4. SB 226 was signed in to law allowing cities to utilize various CEQA streamlining provisions for infill projects. As a result, the City has determined that a Supplemental EIR is required to update the 2004 Certified EIR and provide CEQA clearance for the Proposed Project. ---PAGE BREAK--- 3. Project Description Page 3-8 July 2013 3.3.2 Description of the Proposed Project The Proposed Project is comprised of three main elements: 1. Implementation of Housing Element, Housing Production Strategy 1V: Rezoning of Housing Opportunity Sites, 2. Facilitation use of the Statutory Infill Housing Exemption, and 3. An Update of the General Plan Land Use Build-Out Tables The Proposed Project would not change any of the existing land use designations in the Anaheim General Plan. Implementation of Housing Element, Housing Production Strategy 1V: Rezoning of Housing Opportunity Sites This strategy outlines the policy goal of rezoning parcels in order to better accommodate the production of units affordable for moderate and lower income households. This strategy reads as follows: Appendix B-3: Opportunity Sites, identifies properties that are designated for residential land uses by the General Plan and have strong development or redevelopment potential to accommodate housing affordable to moderate and lower income households. However, the underlying zoning designation of these properties varies and many are not properly zoned to accommodate residential development at this time. For example, some sites are zoned for, and occupied by, commercial or industrial land uses although they are designated for future residential use by the General Plan. The goal of this Strategy is to develop an approach allowing “by-right” residential development of these sites in a manner that is consistent with the density allowed by their current General Plan designation. Properties that are City-owned, including those owned by the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency or Anaheim Housing Authority, can simply be reclassified to a zone that will allow “by–right” development at a density consistent with the General Plan designation. This approach is appropriate for sites in which residential development is imminent and there is no desire to retain existing commercial or industrial uses on the site. For all other sites, an overlay zone will be applied that will provide the opportunity to develop “by right” housing consistent with the density permitted by the property’s General Plan designation. The City has successfully utilized overlay zones to promote residential development in areas such as South Anaheim Boulevard and The Platinum Triangle. (2006-2014 Housing Element) To implement this strategy, the City proposes to add one of two possible overlay zones to certain properties identified as Opportunities Sites in the Housing Element. The locations of the Opportunity Sites were chosen using a variety of factors and include the following kinds of properties: Vacant, residentially-zoned sites; Vacant, non-residentially-zoned sites; ---PAGE BREAK--- 3. Project Description Anaheim Housing Opportunities Sites Rezoning Project Draft Supplemental EIR City of Anaheim Page 3-9 Underutilized, residentially-zoned sites which are capable of being developed at a higher density or with greater intensity; and Developed, non-residentially-zoned sites, which could be reclassified to a residential zone and developed with housing. The overlay zone proposed to be added to the subject properties would be consistent with the properties’ General Plan designation. The subject properties and the proposed Mixed Use and Residential Opportunity Overlay Zones are identified in Tables 3-1 and 3-2 and are shown on Figures 3-3a through 3- 3e. Properties identified with an 12a) are sites that were not identified in the Housing Element but are adjacent to an Opportunity Site and are also proposed for rezoning. In addition, the City proposes a Code amendment to permit residential development “by-right” on designated Opportunity Sites in the Mixed Use Overlay Zone. The addition of the overlay zones to the subject properties and the proposed Code amendment would implement the Housing Element’s Housing Production Strategy 1V: Rezoning of Housing Opportunities Sites.

Project Description Anaheim Housing Opportunities Sites Rezoning Project Draft Supplemental EIR City of Anaheim Page 3-27 Statutory Infill Housing Exemption The City proposes to facilitate the opportunity for projects to utilize Public Resources Code Section 21159.24, which allows urban infill residential development that meets certain criteria to be exempt from CEQA. The City would facilitate the Statutory Infill Housing Exemption by providing updated community level environmental review, as defined by Public Resources Code Section 21159.20, for properties designated for residential development by the General Plan. In addition, the City may utilize the SB 226 CEQA streamlining provisions that went into effect January 1, 2013. Pursuant to Section 21159.21 of the Public Resources Code, a housing project qualifies for an exemption from CEQA pursuant to Sections 21159.22, 21159.23, or 21159.24 if it meets the criteria in the applicable section and all of the following criteria: The project is consistent with any applicable general plan, specific plan, and local coastal program, including any mitigation measures required by a plan or program, as that plan or program existed on the date that the application was deemed complete and with any applicable zoning ordinance, as that zoning ordinance existed on the date that the application was deemed complete, except that a project shall not be deemed to be inconsistent with the zoning designation for the site if that zoning designation is inconsistent with the general plan only because the project site has not been rezoned to conform with a more recently adopted general plan. Community-level environmental review has been adopted or certified. The project and other projects approved prior to the approval of the project can be adequately served by existing utilities, and the project applicant has paid, or has committed to pay, all applicable in-lieu or development fees. The site of the project does not contain wetlands, does not have any value as a wildlife habitat, and the project does not harm any species protected by the federal Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. Sec. 1531 et seq.) or by the Native Plant Protection Act (Chapter 10 (commencing with Section 1900) of Division 2 of the Fish and Game Code), the California Endangered Species Act (Chapter 1.5 (commencing with Section 2050) of Division 3 of the Fish and Game Code), and the project does not cause the destruction or removal of any species protected by a local ordinance in effect at the time the application for the project was deemed complete. For the purposes of this subdivision, "wetlands" has the same meaning as in Section 328.3 of Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations and "wildlife habitat" means the ecological communities upon which wild animals, birds, plants, fish, amphibians, and invertebrates depend for their conservation and protection. The site of the project is not included on any list of facilities and sites compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code. The site of the project is subject to a preliminary endangerment assessment prepared by a registered environmental assessor to determine the existence of any release of a hazardous substance on the site and to determine the potential for exposure of future occupants to significant health hazards from any nearby property or activity. If a release of a hazardous substance is found to exist on the site, the release shall be removed, or any significant effects of the release shall be mitigated to a level of insignificance in compliance with state and federal requirements. ---PAGE BREAK--- 3. Project Description Page 3-28 July 2013 If a potential for exposure to significant hazards from surrounding properties or activities is found to exist, the effects of the potential exposure shall be mitigated to a level of insignificance in compliance with state and federal requirements. The project does not have a significant effect on historical resources pursuant to Section 21084.1. The project site is not subject to any of the following: A wildland fire hazard, as determined by the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, unless the applicable general plan or zoning ordinance contains provisions to mitigate the risk of a wildland fire hazard. An unusually high risk of fire or explosion from materials stored or used on nearby properties. Risk of a public health exposure at a level that would exceed the standards established by any state or federal agency. Within a delineated earthquake fault zone, as determined pursuant to Section 2622, or a seismic hazard zone, as determined pursuant to Section 2696, unless the applicable general plan or zoning ordinance contains provisions to mitigate the risk of an earthquake fault or seismic hazard zone. Landslide hazard, flood plain, flood way, or restriction zone, unless the applicable general plan or zoning ordinance contains provisions to mitigate the risk of a landslide or flood. The project site is not located on developed open space. For the purposes of this subdivision, "developed open space" means land that meets all of the following criteria: Is publicly owned, or financed in whole or in part by public funds. Is generally open to, and available for use by, the public. Is predominantly lacking in structural development other than structures associated with open spaces, including, but not limited to, playgrounds, swimming pools, ballfields, enclosed child play areas, and picnic facilities. For the purposes of this subdivision, "developed open space" includes land that has been designated for acquisition by a public agency for developed open space, but does not include lands acquired by public funds dedicated to the acquisition of land for housing purposes. The project site is not located within the boundaries of a state conservancy. The City will utilize the Statutory Infill Housing Exemptions for future development applications pursuant to Sections 21159.21, 21159.22, 21159.23, or 21159.24 of the Public Resources Code, as appropriate. SB 226, which went in to effect on January 1, 2013, authorizes limited CEQA review for qualifying urban infill projects after implementation guidelines are adopted that address statewide priorities for infill ---PAGE BREAK--- 3. Project Description Anaheim Housing Opportunities Sites Rezoning Project Draft Supplemental EIR City of Anaheim Page 3-29 projects. SB 226 was adopted as part of the CEQA Guidelines in Section 15183.3. The complete text of Section 15183.3, including Appendix M and N to the CEQA Guidelines, is included in Appendix C of this DSEIR. Only projects that meet the SB 226 definition of "infill project" are eligible for the limited CEQA review process created by the bill. To be eligible for the streamlining procedures prescribed in Section 15183.3 of the CEQA Guidelines, an infill project must: Be located in an urban area on a site that either has been previously developed or that adjoins existing qualified urban uses on at least seventy-five percent of the site's perimeter. For the purpose of this subdivision "adjoin" means the infill project is immediately adjacent to qualified urban uses, or is only separated from such uses by an improved public right-of-way; Satisfy the performance standards provided in Appendix M; and Be consistent with the general use designation, density, building intensity, and applicable policies specified for the project area in either a sustainable communities strategy or an alternative planning strategy, except as provided in subdivisions or below. Only where an infill project is proposed within the boundaries of a metropolitan planning organization for which a sustainable communities strategy or an alternative planning strategy will be, but is not yet, in effect, a residential infill project must have a density of at least 20 units per acre, and a retail or commercial infill project must have a floor area ratio of at least 0.75. Where an infill project is proposed outside of the boundaries of a metropolitan planning organization, the infill project must meet the definition of a small walkable community project in subdivision To be eligible for streamlining pursuant to Section 15183.3, a residential project must satisfy one of the following: 1. Projects achieving below average regional per capita vehicle miles traveled (VMT). A residential project is eligible if it is located in a "low vehicle travel area" within the region. Low vehicle travel areas within the City of Anaheim are shown on Figure 3-4. 2. Projects located within ¼ mile of an Existing Major Transit Stop or High Quality Transit Corridor. A residential project is eligible if it is located within 1/4 mile of an existing major transit stop or an existing stop along a high quality transit corridor. 3. Low-Income Housing. A residential or mixed-use project consisting of 300 or fewer residential units all of which are affordable to low income households is eligible if the developer of the development project provides sufficient legal commitments to the lead agency to ensure the continued availability and use of the housing units for lower income households, as defined in Section 50079.5 of the Health and Safety Code, for a period of at least 30 years, at housing costs, as determined pursuant to Section 50053 of the Health and Safety Code. Under SB 226, CEQA would not apply to the effects of an eligible infill project under two circumstances. First, if an effect was addressed as a significant effect in a prior EIR for a planning level decision, then, with some exceptions, that effect need not be analyzed again for an individual infill project even when ---PAGE BREAK--- 3. Project Description Page 3-30 July 2013 that effect was not reduced to a less than significant level in the prior EIR. Second, an effect need not be analyzed, even if it was not analyzed in a prior EIR or is more significant than previously analyzed, if the lead agency makes a finding that uniformly applicable development policies or standards, adopted by the lead agency or a city or county, apply to the infill project and would substantially mitigate that effect. Depending on the effects addressed in the prior EIR and the availability of uniformly applicable development policies or standards that apply to the eligible infill project, streamlining under this section will range from a complete exemption to an obligation to prepare a narrowed, project-specific environmental document. A prior EIR will be most helpful in dealing with later infill projects if it deals with the effects of infill development as specifically and comprehensively as possible. With a good and detailed analysis of such development, the effects of many infill projects could be found to have been addressed in the prior EIR, and no further environmental documents would be required. ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Anaheim Low VMT Areas 3.

The Land Use Plan represents the graphic guide for the future development of the community and is a key component of the adopted General Plan. The land use patterns identified are intended to provide the basis for more detailed zoning districts, building intensities, requirements and standards established in the Zoning Code. The buildout projections associated with the 2004 Approved Project are shown on Table 3-3. Table 3-4 provides a summary of acreages by land use designation for the 2004 Approved Project. It also provides the percentage of total area for each land use designation. The City proposes to update General Plan Land Use Element Table LU-5: Residential Buildout Estimates and Table LU-6: Non-Residential Build-Out Estimates to reflect all General Plan amendments that have been adopted since the City’s General Plan was adopted in May 2004, as shown on Table 3-5.
