Subject: Save Deer Canyon PLEASE !
I, as well as numerous other Anaheim residents, are not in favor of the
currently “proposed” rezoning and the construction of a large 498 apartment
structure near Deer Canyon Park on Santa Ana Canyon Road. These type of
complexes may be appropriate for downtown Los Angeles, New York,
Chicago locations, but not for suburban Anaheim Hills.
I am also opposed to the two commercial buildings that are proposed to be
built next to these apartments. Upscale single family homes would be a
much better fit in our community.
I am asking that you, as an elected official, stand with us Anaheim Residents
and do what is best to maintain Deer Canyon and in the best interests of the
community.
I, and the community, have many concerns over this 7 story, 498 apartment
complex with a bar/nightclub on the roof, with speakers, music, and lights.
These apartments are simply out of place on Santa Ana Canyon Road. Traffic
is already a nightmare. Commuters are already using this road daily as the 91
freeway is often at a stand still. During peak times, Santa Ana Canyon Road
has bumper to bumper traffic. This main road is integral to our city and
adding close to 1,000 more cars is s disaster waiting to happen. In 2017, we
had a fire, where we were told to evacuate the area. Traffic out of Anaheim
Hills was horrendous. By building this apartment complex and adding on
1,000 more cars could cause deaths to many residents as they are unable to
leave the area in case of emergency situations. I know you would not want
this to happen to your own family and friends, so please stand with us and
save us from disaster and potential death. These apartments alone create an
even greater fire risk to our community.

Anaheim Hills has been under mandatory water restrictions for many years
now. The residents do their best to reduce their water usage by cutting down
yard irrigation days, etc but adding on 498 additional apartments and
possibly 1,000 additional people or more, is not a solution to our current
water shortage. These apartments would not only impact water but also
electricity. The costs for these resources will only go up due to high demand.
The residents deserve better than this from people they have elected to
represent our city and we expect them to do what is best for all of us to
maintain or improve our quality of life.
Wildlife preservation is also important. Deer Canyon has a fantastic
ecosystem and we as a community need to protect it.
This apartment complex is not good for our local residents. It impacts our
quality of life, and will bring more fire hazards, traffic, potential death,
impact out wild life and the tranquility of life as we currently know it. My
home is on Eucalyptus Dr and yes, we will back up to this potential
monstrosity. It will light up the canyon with the rooftop bar and the speaker
system and music will create a noise factor.
I am hoping you will vote and do what is necessary to save Deer Canyon. We
are counting on you to care enough about us to make this happen
Thank you for caring about our community and the residents and please
reject the rezoning initiative and these apartments
