07 & 08 (161) Jennifer L. Hall From:Planning Commission Sent:Monday, September 28, 2020 8:41 PM To:Jennifer L. Hall Cc:David See; Susan Kim Subject:FW: Angel Stadium Development Plan From: Kim Painter <kpainter@majesticgardenhotel.com> Sent: Monday, September 28, 2020 3:43 PM To: Planning Commission <PCommision@anaheim.net> Subject: Angel Stadium Development Plan September 28, 2020 Anaheim City Council 200 South Anaheim Boulevard Anaheim, CA 92805 Dear Sir/Madame: I am writing in support of the important Angel Stadium Development Plan coming before the City Council on Tuesday, September 29, 2020. This deal is not only a good one for the Angels organization, but is an even bigger win for the city of Anaheim. The city will no longer be on the hook to pay for stadium renovations or for the construction of a brand new stadium. This development will amplify what Anaheim has to offer its residents, baseball fans, and tourists and fulfill the vision for the Platinum Triangle. This will be the new place to shop, eat, drink and naturally watch the Angels play, along with may other entertainment and sporting activities. The benefits for our community include over 12 acres of parks and open space, along with 5,000+ new housing units which will be built. This includes integrated affordable housing which Anaheim needs. The development also means more revenue generated for the city in the form of property taxes, sales taxes, hotel bed taxes, all of which will add up to $7 billion in total regional economic output every year and $1.2 billion into Anaheim’s general fund. Add to that over 30,000 jobs during the construction, many of which will be good paying, highly skilled building trades jobs, as well as 45,000 other permanent jobs post construction, and the economic development case for this proposed plan is undeniable! Another great benefit to this plan is the fact that the Angels will be staying in Anaheim until at least 2050. I urge you to support this important plan to support our community and its residents. Thank you. Best regards, 1 Kim Painter General Manager t - 714.234.2409 f - 714.254.2311 900 South Disneyland Drive, Anaheim, CA 92802 www.Majesticgardenhotel.com 2
