Anaheim releases a 17,000-page Environmental Impact Report for Disney’s expansion initiative known as DisneylandForward.
Disneyland hopes to have the project go before the Anaheim City Council for approval before the end of 2024. A public workshop outlining highlights of the DisneylandForward EIR will be held on Oct. 9 at Anaheim City Hall.
Greenhouse gas emissions were considered a significant impact in part because they weren’t studied in the 1990s when the last master plan for the theme park resort district was approved. Disney would limit noise by building temporary sound-buffering barriers during construction and permanent 12-foot-tall noise barriers along property lines around the park expansion. Fireworks would be prohibited in the proposed expansion areas.A fourth major impact would be to Disneyland itself — a historic theme park more than 50 years old that is considered a significant cultural resource.
Building setbacks would require Disneyland to limit the aesthetic impacts on nearby neighborhoods. Certain rides would be forbidden within 200 to 300 feet of residences — effectively outlawing outdoor elevated roller coasters west of Disneyland Drive. DisneylandForward is Disney’s effort to work with the city to grow the Disneyland resort, update the blueprint for the theme park district and continue to propel Anaheim’s economic rebound following the COVID-19 pandemic.
