Mayor Aaitken and councilmembers, I am a homeowner in the City of Anaheim, I live in CD 5 in close proximity to the proposed project referenced in the subject line. I urge you to vote No on this project, for the fact that the environmental document did not provide sufficient mitigation efforts that will impact the nearby residents affected by the increase in traffic, noise and air quality concerns. The State of California Senate Bill 743, which mandates that any new project has to evaluate VMT (Vehicles Miles Traveled) and mitigate new VMT wasn't properly addressed in the environmental report. This Project disproportionately impacts a mainly older age group community whose main source of income is social security, with a lot of young Latino families and some of whom are low-income residents. Many of these families, including myself, are not able to attend council meetings due to work and family obligations. Therefore, I urge you to please hear our concerns and vote No for the DE2011- 00218 Prep Charter School. Lastly, while I am in favor of giving families a choice of school options (including Charter schools), this location is not suitable for the expansion plans and amount of students being proposed as part of this Project. I urge you all to visit the site and see what the residents are talking about, do not rely on presentations. There are many places within Anaheim that would be more suitable, most recently in the corner of Lincoln/Sunkist there was an opportunity to convert a business to a school, with all the amenities a school would require. I am confident there are many more similar locations that the school can look into as alternative sites. Thank you for your consideration. Lucy Delgadillo
