Document Description
Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, U.S., Inc. (Disney), has submitted applications to the City of Anaheim (City) for the proposed DisneylandForward Project (proposed project) to provide for continued, long-term growth of the Disneyland Resort within The Anaheim Resort. The proposed project is a request from Disney for more flexibility as to the location of permitted uses within Disney’s properties in the Disneyland Resort Specific Plan No. 92-1 (DRSP) and the Anaheim Resort Specific Plan No. 92-2 (ARSP) areas and streamlined review of future Disney projects in these areas. The proposed project would also facilitate the use of improved technologies, such as energy efficient lighting and small cellular sites, and more drought-tolerant landscaping that would be applicable to the entire Anaheim Resort. The proposed project is generally located adjacent to and southwest of the Santa Ana Freeway (I-5) between Ball Road to the north, Walnut Street to the west, and Chapman Avenue to the south. The project site encompasses the three specific plan areas that make up The Anaheim Resort: the DRSP, the ARSP, and the Hotel Circle Specific Plan No. 93-1 (HCSP). These specific plan areas, which were initially established in the 1990s, provide for the development of visitor-serving uses including theme park, convention center, hotels, restaurants and commercial areas. The Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape Program and Anaheim Resort Identity Program provide design concepts addressing items such as landscaping, street lights, gateways, signs and bus shelters for streets within The Anaheim Resort. The Anaheim Commercial Recreation Area Maximum Permitted Structural Height Map depicts the maximum height of structures permitted within The Anaheim Resort. The proposed project will affect public rights-of-way within and adjacent to The Anaheim Resort. Therefore, the project site map shows not only the Disney-owned properties but surrounding properties in The Anaheim Resort. Disney will be the applicant for the majority of the properties affected by the proposed amendments; however, the Planning Director has initiated the amendments for the portions of the project area not owned or controlled by subsidiaries of Disney. Approval of the proposed project would require amendments to the City of Anaheim General Plan, DRSP, ARSP, Anaheim Resort Public Realm Landscape Program, Anaheim Resort Identity Program and Anaheim Commercial Recreation Area Maximum Permitted Structural Height Map. No changes are proposed to District A, or the Anaheim GardenWalk, or C-R Overlays, of the DRSP or HCSP.
