Honorable Mayor Aitken and City Councilmembers:
I’m writing to express my support for DisneylandForward and to
encourage Anaheim’s City Council to certify the Draft Subsequent
Environmental Impact Report (DSEIR) and approve the
DisneylandForward Project.
DisneylandForward will pave the way for Disney to meaningfully invest
for decades, and to create thousands of jobs for local residents and
1
infuse the City’s general fund with millions in additional tax revenue
every year. With DisneylandForward, Disney is proposing to build only
on land already owned or controlled by Disney. Disney is not asking
for taxpayer subsidies or asking to add any additional theme park
square footage or hotel rooms beyond what the City already has
approved. Based on my review, Disney is just asking to spread the
previously approved square footage and hotel rooms around Disney
properties in a way that makes sense for today’s market demand.
The Draft SEIR reviews the key components under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), including traffic, noise, aesthetics
(lighting), air quality and cumulative impacts among others. After an
exhaustive study by third-party independent experts, it is clear that
after many years of planning, review and analysis, it is time to certify
the EIR and approve the DisneylandForward Project.
Sincerely,
Sherrie Johnston
