Subject: Proposed Project
Council Members:
I'm writing to you to oppose item 14- the proposed project at 3175 W. Ball Rd. (Empty lot on western and ball) I oppose
this project for the following reasons:
- this project is entirely too dense. The lot is too small for a project of this size.
- the surrounding area is already parking deficient. Adding additional apartment units will only increase parking issues
that will pit residents against one another. This is why residents asked for a cap on tandem parking. This project has a
significant amount of tandem parking which a majority of residents do not support. Several cities in Orange County limit
or don't allow tandem for this very reason.
- Anaheim continues to add housing to district 1 despite us being the densest district. All of this new housing, yet no new
retail or green space.
- this project has very little amenities for the residents. We deserve better.
- if approved, the developer gets to walk away. But my neighborhood will feel the negative effects for years to come.
-the project asks for several variances. Why have codes if developers don't have to abide by them?
- we are already losing commercial space along Beach Blvd. now you're asking us to give up more. While Anaheim is
giving up this space, West Anaheim residents are spending their money in neighboring cities like cypress and Buena
Park.
Simply put- this is not a quality project and not the type of housing our community has asked for. It is not consistent
with what our neighborhood wants. There's nothing forcing this council to re zone this space. When the residents of
Anaheim hills spoke out against the project in their community, council did not approve it. Will my district be given the
same treatment? After decades of fighting for west Anaheim, will residents ever get what THEY want?
Sincerely,
A Proud West Anaheim Resident
