DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION NO. 2023-00043
FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (FEIR) NO. 358 AND
MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM NO. 397
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT
AMENDMENT NO. 6 TO FESTIVAL SPECIFIC PLAN NO. 90-1 WITH
ZONING CODE AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER 18.108
(FESTIVAL SPECIFIC PLAN NO. 90-1 (SP 90-1)
ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS) OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE
FINAL SITE PLAN
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT NO. 2025-00001
OWNER: OTR, an Ohio General Partnership, One California Street, Suite 2700, San Francisco,
CA 94111
APPLICANT: Sean McEachern, Shea Properties Management Company, Inc., 130 Vantis Drive,
Suite 200, Aliso Viejo, CA 92656
PROJECT LOCATION: The project site consists of the entirety of the existing 85.7-acre Anaheim
Hills Festival Specific Plan, generally located south of Santa Ana Canyon Road between Festival
Drive and Roosevelt Road, in the City of Anaheim.
REQUEST: The applicant requests approval of a General Plan Amendment; Amendment No. 6 to
Specific Plan No. 90-1, to amend the Specific Plan document and Chapter 18.108 (Festival
Specific Plan No. 90-1 (SP 90-1) Zoning and Development Standards) of the Anaheim Municipal
Code; Final Site Plan; and a Development Agreement to establish a new Development Area (DA
5) within the existing boundaries of the Anaheim Hills Festival Specific Plan to accommodate
residential uses in combination with the site’s existing commercial development. DA 5 would be
created by reallocating land from the existing DA 2, reducing its size from approximately 48 acres
to 31.8 acres. The resulting 16.2-acre area would form the new DA 5. All proposed development
would be confined to DA 5, which encompasses Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APNs) 354-451-19
and 354-451-32. The proposed project includes the demolition of an approximately 62,676-
square foot cinema within DA 5 to construct a 447-unit multiple-family residential community. The
proposed multiple-family community would consist of a four-story residential building, wrapped
around a five-level parking structure with one subterranean level. All residential units are single-
story and include one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom options with private balconies
or patios. Project amenities include a clubhouse, two swimming pools, courtyards, a fitness
center, and mail area. In addition to the project’s private amenities, the applicant is proposing an
enclosed outdoor dog park along Festival Drive and bluff park along the north edge of the newly
proposed DA 5, which would be open to the residents of the community and the general public.
The applicant requests the General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan Amendment to allow for
the proposed residential uses and the creation of DA 5. The General Plan Amendment would
change the land use designation within DA 5 from Regional Commercial to Mixed-Use Medium.
The Mixed-Use Medium land use designation allows for residential development in either a stand-
alone or mixed-use configuration at a density of up to 36 dwelling units per acre, and the non-
residential development at a maximum floor area ratio of 0.35. The Specific Plan Amendment
would amend the Specific Plan No. 90-1 document to allow for the mixed-use land uses on a total
of 16.2 acres (DA 5) and includes other text and exhibit amendments related to signage,
permitted uses, design guidelines, and development standards. The Specific Plan Amendment
would also amend Anaheim Municipal Code Chapter 18.108 (Festival Specific Plan No. 90-1 (SP
90-1) Zoning and Development Standards), to incorporate the proposed residential standards into
DA 5 and other clarifying changes related to signage, permitted uses, and development
standards.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The City Council will consider certification of Final
Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) No. 358, including the adoption of Findings of Fact,
Statement of Overriding Considerations, and Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) No. 397, and
determine that FEIR No. 358 was prepared in compliance with the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), and FEIR No. 358 and MMP No. 397 are adequate to serve as the
appropriate environmental documentation for the project, and no further environmental
documentation needs to be prepared for the project.
