Walt Disney Co.'s plan to squeeze more into its Anaheim resort passed another milepost in the long pitch process to win rezoning approval from the city.
Disney announced a plan to add new attractions, shops and restaurants inside Disneyland by redeveloping existing areas of the Anaheim resort., greenhouse gas emission estimates were not required under California law. Since then, Disney has taken steps to reduce the carbon footprint of park employees’ commutes. With DisneylandForward, the park plans to invest in additional pedestrian bridges, another parking structure and a new transportation center to mitigate traffic.
Proposed in 2021, DisneylandForward seeks to build new attractions, shops and eateries onto what the company considers underdeveloped areas of the existing resort, specifically around two Disney hotels west of the theme parks and on the site of a parking lot east of the resort. The proposal does not expand the park’s square footage.
Existing zoning laws, drafted in 1990, specify which areas of the park may be designated for hotel, retail, dining and theme park attractions. Disney claims that for a more diverse and integrative experience that caters to the next generation of consumers, a portion of its land ought to be rezoned for mixed use. Anaheim’s laws currently do not allow for that. Only 46% of the park’s approved 6.8 million square footage from 1990 has been developed.
Disney made its economic case for the project in May. For every $1 billion Disney invests to redevelop and update
