Subject: PROPOSED HOLDEN PROJECT: 5275 East Nohl Ranch Road, Anaheim Hills, CA
To the Members of the City of Anaheim City Council;
I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed Holden project Development. As a resident of
Anaheim Hills, this particular large-scale development would be detrimental to the safety of our community.
I urge you to disapprove this project which 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 suitable for an operation of this size. Countless residents share my deep concerns regarding the safety
hazards that would arise if this project is approved.
TRAFFIC: Nohl Ranch Road has become a busy freeway alternate and speeding vehicles are the norm. The
intersection of Royal Oak and Nohl Ranch Road (the proposed project location) has a history of accidents. The
large scale of the Holden Project would further exacerbate this problem with its frequency of emergency,
transportation, delivery, staff and visitation vehicles adding to the existing challenges.
FIRE: Nohl Ranch Road is a FIRE EVACUATION ROUTE. Our community is well aware of the dangers of
not being able to evacuate quickly and safely. Many residents were caught in gridlock on Nohl Ranch road,
some in excess of two hours traveling only short distances during the fires in recent years. How will the
community provide a safe and successful emergency evacuation of vulnerable elderly people residing within the
High Density facility that Holden is proposing?
INSUFFICIENT PARKING: Holden's proposed parking spaces are grossly under allocated. The lack of
parking for staff, third party providers and visitors will have a negative impact on the surrounding
neighborhoods. Parking is not allowed on Nohl Ranch Road or Royal Oak, so the overflow will be forced upon
the residential streets. This redirected parking to surrounding homes poses safety risks to the neighborhood
children and families.
I hope that you will listen to the concerns of the residents and support us by opposing the Proposed Holden
Project.
Thank you for your service to our city.
Regards,
Susan Kurzbard
