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 infuse the
City’s general fund with millions in additional tax revenue every year. With
1
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,
Michael Jedlicka
