Dear City Council Members,
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,
Kellie Chiesa
