Dear City Council Member,
Subject: HOLDEN PROJECT
5275 East Nohl Ranch Road Anaheim, CA. 92807
I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed Holden project Development. As a resident of Anaheim
this particular largescale development would be detrimental to the safety of our community.
I urge you to disapprove this project that will burden our community with High Density housing functioning as a
commercial business within the current RH-3 zoning. The proposed location is inappropriate and not fitted for an
operation of this sort. Countless residents share my deep concerns regarding the safety hazards that would arise should
this project be approved.
TRAFFIC- Nohl Ranch Road has become a busy freeway alternate in which vehicles exceeding the speed limit has
become the norm. The intersection of Royal Oak and Nohl Ranch Road (The Proposed Project location) has a " no right
turn on red' as its blind spot corner has proven to be hazardous with a history of accidents. The large scale of the Holden
Project Building would further exasperate this problem.
This project will significantly increase traffic with its frequency of emergency, transportation, delivery, staff, and
visitation vehicles thus adding to the existing challenges.
FIRE- Nohl Ranch Road is a FIRE EVACUTION ROUTE. Our community knows all too well the dangers of not being able to
evacuate quickly and safely. Many of us were stuck in gridlock on Nohl Ranch Road, some in excess of two hours
traveling only a short two miles. I shudder to think how we as a community could execute a safe and successful
evacuation of our vulnerable elderly population residing within the High Density facility that Holden is proposing.
LACK OF PARKING- Holden's proposed parking spaces are grossly under allocated. The lack of parking for staff, third
party providers and visitors will put a strain on the surrounding neighborhoods. There is no parking on Nohl Ranch Road
nor Royal Oak so over flow will be forced upon the residential streets. This lack of parking redirected to surrounding
homes poses safety risks to neighborhood children and families.
There are many other valid concerns, we as residents of this community have, however SAFETY is and should be the
primary focus for all of us.
Thank you for your continued service to our wonderful city and for your consideration in supporting the residents by
keeping our communities safe. Please oppose the Proposed Holden Project.
Best Regards,
Barbara Shank
