DA 5 would be\ncreated by reallocating land from the existing DA 2, reducing its size from approximately 48 acres\nto 31.8 acres. The resulting 16.2-acre area would form the new DA 5. All proposed development\nwould be confined to DA 5, which encompasses Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APNs) 354-451-19\nand 354-451-32. The proposed project includes the demolition of an approximately 62,676-\nsquare foot cinema within DA 5 to construct a 447-unit multiple-family residential community. The\nproposed multiple-family community would consist of a four-story residential building, wrapped\naround a five-level parking structure with one subterranean level. All residential units are single-\nstory and include one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom options with private balconies\nor patios.

The Specific Plan Amendment\nwould also amend Anaheim Municipal Code Chapter 18.108 (Festival Specific Plan No. 90-1 (SP\n90-1) Zoning and Development Standards), to incorporate the proposed residential standards into\nDA 5 and other clarifying changes related to signage, permitted uses, and development\nstandards.\nENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The City Council will consider certification of Final\nEnvironmental Impact Report (FEIR) No. 358, including the adoption of Findings of Fact,\nStatement of Overriding Considerations, and Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) No. 397, and\ndetermine that FEIR No. 358 was prepared in compliance with the California Environmental\nQuality Act (CEQA), and FEIR No. 358 and MMP No. 397 are adequate to serve as the\nappropriate environmental documentation for the project, and no further environmental\ndocumentation needs to be prepared for the project.\nACTION TAKEN BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION:\nApproved Resolution No. PC2025-033 recommending the City Council certify a Final\nEnvironmental Impact Report No. 358, adopt findings and Statement of Overriding\nConsiderations, and adopt Mitigation Monitoring Program No. 397 for the Anaheim Hills Festival\nProject and related actions; Resolution No. PC2025-034 recommending the City Council approve\nand adopt a proposed General Plan Land Use Element Amendment; Resolution No. PC2025-035\nrecommending that the City Council approve a Final Site Plan for the construction of 447 multiple-\nfamily units and make certain findings in connection therewith, as amended to add Condition of\nApproval No. 43 and renumber the Conditions of Approval to reflect the change; and Resolution\nNo. PC2025-036 recommending City Council approve and adopt Development Agreement No.\n2025-00001 by and between the City of Anaheim, and OTR, an Ohio Partnership.
