Subject:Support of Angles in Anaheim
Dear Mayor Harry Sidhu and Members of the Anaheim City Council,
During tonight’s council meeting you will consider the second reading for the historic Stadium Development Plan that
has been negotiated between the City of Anaheim and SRB Management. This was voted on and approved last week,
September 29. The Planning Commission also gave its approval to the development aspect of the plan on September 9.
As an Anaheim resident, I want you to know that I fully support the City selling the Stadium property in order to unlock
the Platinum Triangle’s full potential, while keeping the Angels in Anaheim through 2050 and beyond. I hope you will
vote in favor again tonight.
The proposed plan includes over 5000 new, and desperately needed, housing units. Up to 777 fully integrated affordable
units will give families the chance to live in, work near, and be a part of, this community. Plus, a seven-acre public
“flagship park” and over five acres of new park lands will be paid for, and maintained by, the property developer.
There will be tens of thousands of good paying construction jobs for the building trades, many of which will prioritize
hiring Anaheim residents. Because of this agreement, there is great potential to generate revenue to go towards
education, street maintenance, police and fire services, and more. This is a key factor for those of us who, like Angels
Baseball, call Anaheim home.
Also, we Anaheim taxpayers will receive the many positives of having this new development, and not have any of the
financial burden of renovating an old Stadium, or building a new one.
And of course, possibly best of all – the plan means the Angels stay in town until 2050 at least.
As our city leaders, I hope you will look closely at what this proposed agreement and plan has to offer. Your support for
this project will take Anaheim and its residents to the next level.
Thank you for your leadership on this important issue to me and many Anaheim residents – and Go Angels!
Thanks,
Hanan
