SEIR No. 339 City of Anaheim• Page 3-1 3. Project Description 3.1 PROJECT LOCATION The Platinum Triangle consists of approximately 820 acres and is located at the confluence of Interstate 5 (I-5) and State Route 57 (SR-57), in the City of Anaheim (“City”) in Orange County, California. As shown in Figure 3-1, Regional Location, it is located within the south-central portion of the City. As shown in Figure 3-2, Local Vicinity Map, the Platinum Triangle 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 City limit. The Platinum Triangle encompasses the Angel Stadium of Anaheim, the Honda Center, the Grove of Anaheim, the Anaheim Amtrak/Metrolink Station, and surrounding residential and mixed use development, light industrial buildings, industrial parks, distribution facilities, offices, hotels, restaurants, and retail development. An aerial photograph of the project area is shown in Figure 3-3, Aerial Photograph. 3.2 STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES The following objectives have been established for the Platinum Triangle project and will aid decision makers in their review of the project and associated environmental impacts: • Provide for a wide range of housing opportunities in close proximity to jobs and a regional transportation center. • Provide a mix of quality, high-density urban housing that is integrated into the area through carefully maintained pedestrian streets, transit connections, and arterial access. • Create a development plan that encourages residents of Anaheim to work and shop in close proximity to their homes, minimizing use of their automobiles. • Encourage extensive office development along the highly visible periphery of the area to provide a quality employment center. • Foster mixed-use development that serves to reduce vehicle miles traveled by promoting alternatives to driving, such as walking, biking, and use of mass transit. • Provide on-site open space and recreation amenities that further enhance the mixed-use environment of the area for both residents and employees working in the Platinum Triangle. • Encourage high density mixed use development that is synergistic with the entertainment and employment uses already established in the Platinum Triangle. • Maximize opportunities to increase tax increment received from the Redevelopment Project Area. ---PAGE BREAK--- 3.

On May 30, 1996, the Anaheim Planning Commission certified Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) No. 320 (State Clearinghouse No. 95041029) and adopted Area Development Plan No. 120 for the portion of the Stadium property associated with the Sportstown Development. Area Development Plan No. 120 entitled a total of 119,543 seats for new and/or renovated stadiums, 750,000 square feet of urban entertainment/retail uses, a 500-room hotel (550,000 square feet), a 150,000-square-foot exhibition center, 250,000 square feet of office development and 15,570 on-site parking spaces. The Grove of Anaheim, the renovated Angel Stadium of Anaheim, and the Stadium Gateway Office Building were developed/renovated under this plan. On March 2, 1999, the Anaheim City Council adopted the Anaheim Stadium Area Master Land Use Plan (MLUP). The boundaries for this MLUP were generally the same as those for the Platinum Triangle, with the exception that this MLUP included 15 acres adjacent to I-5 that are not a part of the current Platinum Triangle boundaries. As part of the approval process for the Anaheim Stadium Area MLUP, the City Council also certified FEIR No. 321 (State Clearinghouse No. 9611041) and adopted Mitigation Monitoring Program No. 106. Development within the Anaheim Stadium Area was implemented through the Sports Entertainment (SE) Overlay Zone, which permitted current uses to continue or expand within the provisions of the existing zoning, while providing those who may want to develop sports, entertainment, retail, and office uses with standards appropriate to those uses, including increased land use intensity. Implementation of this Overlay Zone was projected to result in a net loss of 491,303 square feet of industrial space and increases of 1,871,285 square feet of new office space, 452,026 square feet of new retail space, and 991,603 square feet of new hotel space. Projects that were developed under the SE Overlay Zone included the Ayers Hotel, the Arena Corporate Center, and the Westwood School of Technology. On May 25, 2004, the Anaheim City Council approved a comprehensive citywide General Plan and Zoning Code Update, which included a new vision for the Platinum Triangle. The General Plan Update changed the General Plan designations within the project area from Commercial Recreation and Business Office/Mixed Use/Industrial to Mixed-Use, Office-High, Office-Low, Industrial, Open Space and Institutional to provide opportunities for existing uses to transition to mixed-use, residential, office, and commercial uses. The General Plan Update also established the overall maximum development intensity for the Platinum Triangle to be up to 9,175 dwelling units, 5,000,000 square feet of office space, 2,044,300 square feet of commercial uses, industrial development at a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 0.50, and institutional development at a maximum FAR of 3.0. In addition, the square footage/seats allocated to the existing Honda Center and all of the development intensity entitled by Area Development Plan No. 120 were incorporated into the Platinum Triangle Mixed-Use land use designation. Final EIR No. 330 (State Clearinghouse No. [PHONE REDACTED]), which was prepared for the General Plan and Zoning Code Update and associated actions, analyzed the above development intensities on a citywide impact ---PAGE BREAK--- 3.

Project Description SEIR No. 339 City of Anaheim• Page 3-9 level and adopted mitigation monitoring programs, including an Updated and Modified Mitigation Monitoring Plan No. 106 for the Platinum Triangle. In order to provide the implementation tools necessary to realize the City’s new vision for the Platinum Triangle, on August 17, 2004, the City Council replaced the Anaheim Stadium Area MLUP with the Platinum Triangle MLUP (PTMLUP), replaced the SE Overlay Zone with the Platinum Triangle Mixed Use (PTMU) Overlay Zone, approved the form of the Standardized Platinum Triangle Development Agreement and approved associated zoning reclassifications. Under these updated zoning regulations, property owners desiring to develop under the PTMU Overlay Zone provisions are required to enter into a standardized Development Agreement with the City of Anaheim. Ordinances associated with the PTMU Overlay Zone and the approved zoning reclassifications became effective September 23, 2004. On October 25, 2005, the Anaheim City Council adopted and certified the Final Subsequent EIR (FSEIR) No. 332 (State Clearinghouse No. [PHONE REDACTED]) including an Updated and Modified Mitigation Monitoring Plan No. 106A for the PTMLUP and associated actions, which utilized the certified FEIR No. 321 (adopted for the Anaheim Stadium MLUP, as discussed above) and Mitigation Monitoring Program No. 106. At the present time, FSEIR No. 332 serves as the primary environmental document for subsequent land use actions within the Platinum Triangle, including necessary infrastructure improvements and all local discretionary approvals requested to implement the PTMLUP, consistent with Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines. The General Plan Amendment associated with FSEIR No. 332 increased the allowable development intensity within the Platinum Triangle to 9,500 residential units; 5,000,000 square feet of office uses; and 2,254,400 square feet of commercial uses. Since the approval and certification of FSEIR No. 332, the majority of the permitted development intensity on private properties analyzed by the SEIR has been either developed, is under construction or has been designated for development under approved Development Agreements. In addition, City Council has approved two addendums to FSEIR No. 332 in conjunction with requests to increase the Platinum Triangle intensity by 67 residential units; 55,550 square feet of office development; and, 10,000 square feet of commercial uses. A project EIR has also been approved to increase the allowable development intensity by an additional 699 residential units to bring the total allowable development intensity within the Platinum Triangle to up to 10,266 residential units; 5,055,550 square feet of office uses; and 2,264,400 square feet of commercial uses. In order to increase the overall densities within the Platinum Triangle to accommodate market demands for increased densities, and to further the project objectives outlines above, in 2007, the City embarked upon a process to adopt a General Plan Amendment; amendments to the PTMLUP, PTMU Overlay Zone, and the Platinum Triangle Standardized Development; and related zoning reclassifications to increase the development intensities within the Platinum Triangle to up to 18,363 residential units; 5,657,847 square feet of commercial uses; 16,819,015 square feet of office uses; and 1,500,000 square feet of institutional uses (hereafter, the “Platinum Triangle Expansion Project”). As required by law, the City prepared an environmental impact report in connection with the Platinum Triangle Expansion Project. The Draft Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (DSEIR) for the Platinum Triangle Expansion Project, known as DSEIR No. 334 and was first circulated for a 45-day public review period from July 12, 2007 to August 27, 2007. On October 4, 2007, the City released the DSEIR No. 334 for an additional 45-day public review. The recirculated DSEIR No. 334 contained minor revisions to the Project Description and additional traffic information based on comments received from the City of Orange and California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). Other minor revisions to the DSEIR were made based on other comments received on the previously circulated DSEIR No. 334. The recirculated FSEIR No. 334 was approved in December 2007 and reapproved in April 2008. ---PAGE BREAK--- 3. Project Description Page 3-10 • The Planning Center August 2010 However, following the approval of the FSEIR No. 334, a lawsuit was filed by Citizens for Responsible Equitable Environmental Development (CREED) and Orange County Communities Organized for Responsible Development (OCCORD) challenging the adequacy of FSEIR No. 334. In consideration of the City’s exemplary historical record in avoiding CEQA litigation and its commitment to proper environmental review, the City Council repealed the approval of the Platinum Triangle Expansion Project FSEIR No. 334 and various related actions and directed staff to prepare a new subsequent EIR for the project. The City took this direction because the City has very rarely been challenged based on alleged non compliance with CEQA, and because the City desired to assuage any concerns held by the public concerning the adequacy of the previous document. 3.3.2 Description of the Project 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 3-1. 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 FSEIR No. 334. These modifications were made in an effort to improve the overall jobs/housing balance in the Platinum Triangle at build-out, encourage a full range of transit oriented development opportunities for ARTIC, and reduce traffic impacts to the City of Orange.

District development intensity maps that further 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. ---PAGE BREAK--- Source: City of Anaheim 3.

Project Description Page 3-30 • The Planning Center August 2010 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 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. ---PAGE BREAK--- Source: JMD 2009 3.

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. 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. 3.4 INTENDED USES OF THIS SUBSEQUENT EIR This DSEIR examines the environmental impacts of the implementation of the Platinum Triangle, which includes, but is not limited to, the approval of subdivision maps, grading permits, street improvement plans, final site plans, development agreements, and other related actions.
