CHAPTER 18

18.108.010 PURPOSE.

   .010   Purpose. The provisions contained herein shall govern zoning and development within the Festival Specific Plan. Where the provisions contained herein do not discuss a specific condition or situation which arises, the provisions of the Anaheim Municipal Code, as it may be amended from time to time, shall apply to the Festival Specific Plan. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this chapter and the other provisions of the Anaheim Municipal Code, the provisions set forth in this chapter shall govern. All uses within the Festival Specific Plan boundaries shall comply with all applicable local, state and federal laws, ordinances and regulations.
   .020   Intent. The regulations set forth in this chapter have been established to provide for orderly development of that certain property (hereinafter referred to as the "Specific Plan Area") described in that Specific Plan No. 90-1 (hereinafter referred to as the "Specific Plan"), marked "Exhibit A," and on file in the Office of the City Clerk, approved by the City Council on March 27, 1990, as the same may be hereinafter amended. These regulations provide for the arrangement, development, and use of various 'development areas' within the Specific Plan Area, to create a regional shopping center (hereinafter referred to as "The Festival"), which will provide for a wide variety of retailers and a range of services, offices, commercial recreation facilities, and residential uses. Application of these regulations is specifically intended to provide and to ensure the most appropriate use of the Specific Plan Area, to create a harmonious relationship among land uses, and to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the community.
   .030   Organization. In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 18.72 (Specific Plans), the standards herein are patterned after the zone districts and definitions of the Zoning Code. The Specific Plan is consistent with the intent, purpose, and goals of the Anaheim General Plan and Zoning Code. (Ord. 6622 § 2; March 24, 2026.)

18.108.020 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND PERMITS.

   .010   Prior to commencing any work pertaining to the erection, construction, reconstruction, moving, conversion, alteration or addition to any building or structure within the Specific Plan Area, all building plans shall be subject to review and approval of the City in compliance with all provisions of Chapter 18.60 (Procedures).

   .030   Area Boundaries. The Specific Plan is divided into five (5) development areas: Scenic Commercial (DA-1), Retail Commercial and Entertainment (DA-2), Visitor Commercial (DA-3), Business Commercial (DA-4), and Mixed Use (DA-5). The Specific Plan Area is identified on Figure 1- 3 (Specific Plan Area), and the development areas are shown on Figure 3-1 (Development Plan), in the Specific Plan document. A legal description of the Specific Plan Area is provided in Ordinance No. 6622, approved by City Council on March 24, 2026.
   .040   Interpretation.

In so doing, the Director shall consider the following factors and document applicable findings accordingly:

      .0402   The interpretation responds satisfactorily to the vision, intent and purpose of the Specific Plan;
      .0403   The resulting project is consistent with the General Plan; and
      .0404   The decision constitutes sound precedent for other similar situations.
   .050   Administrative Review. Development applications for projects that comply with the vision of the Specific Plan and the Zoning and Development Standards of this chapter are eligible for administrative review. Such projects shall be required to process a Final Plan application, pursuant to Chapter 18.70 (Final Plan Reviews).
      .0501   The Planning and Building Director shall have approval authority over the Final Plan, and the decision may be appealed to the Planning Commission. The Planning and Building Director shall also have the discretion to refer the application to Planning Commission.
      .0502   For uses requiring discretionary review, such as an administrative adjustment, conditional use permit or variance, the Final Site Plan shall be submitted and reviewed for consistency with the Specific Plan in conjunction with the processing of the administrative adjustment, conditional use permit or variance.
