Subject: Proposed Holden Project
Dear City of Anaheim City Council:
July 12, 2021
We, Jon & Jan Lovette, are opposed to the planned Holden Project ("HOLDEN PROJECT") at 5275 East Nohl
Ranch Road in Anaheim, California.
Here are some of our reasons:
First of all, this does not properly belong in our RH-3 zoned neighborhood. This is NOT a residence or
residential use. It is a business. The current zoning allows for 4 houses per acre and that would be 12 houses
on the property, max. This is 118 units and severely impactful for this low-density zoned area.
Following, please review what we see as the city's requirements for awarding a Conditional Use Permit. (The
bolding is our addition.)
From Anaheim Municipal Code Chapter 18.66 CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS:
18.66.060 FINDINGS.
Before the approval authority, or Planning Commission and/or City Council on appeal, may approve a
minor conditional use permit or a conditional use permit, it must make a finding of fact, by resolution, that the
evidence presented shows that all of the following conditions exist:
.010 That the proposed use is properly one for which a minor conditional use permit or
a conditional use permit is authorized by this code, or is an unlisted use as defined in subsection .030
(Unlisted Uses Permitted) of Section 18.66.040 (Approval Authority);
.030 That the size and shape of the site proposed for the use is adequate to allow the full development of
the proposed use, in a manner not detrimental to either the particular area or health and safety;
.040 That the traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue burden upon the streets and
highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area;
.050 That the granting of the minor conditional use permit or conditional use permit under
the conditions imposed, if any, will not be detrimental to the health and safety of the citizens of the City of
Anaheim. (Ord. 5920 § 1 (part); June 8, 2004: Ord. 6432 § 38 (part); April 10, 2018.)
So, as we view it, it does not meet ALL the CUP requirements. .020, alone, appears to define that this proposed
project adversely affects the adjoining existing land use.
In conclusion, we urge you to vote against this project.
Two concerned Voters, Residents and Taxpayers,
Jon & Jan Lovette
