Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and are expecting the message. I received notice that the City Planning Commission intends to recommend approval of the subject development project. There was no information presented on how the City plans to mitigate the parking situation. I moved to this area in 2023 because of the great potential that I saw. I truly believe that the downtown Anaheim area has great potential if planning is done carefully. The current parking situation needs the attention of the City as is (before this project). I live in the Domain condominiums and there is an extreme parking problem from Thursday evening to Sunday afternoon. Any guests or family that visit us in this time frame have an extremely difficult time finding parking. I know this is not news to anyone. But, it is surprising that the City has not addressed this situation in any way that I have knowledge of. The subject project property is currently used for overflow parking (Valet parking) on Fridays and/or Saturdays. Based on my observations, there are usually 40 to 80 cars in that lot. Now with this option potentially gone and the introduction of 55 additional vehicles (one guest per unit), that's potentially over 100 cars that need a parking spot. There are two serious concerns. One is that visitors to the Packing House and Farmers Park area will be discouraged from returning as the parking situation has left a "bad taste in their mouth" and the whole experience becomes a negative one. I myself have avoided some top rated places due to the bad parking situation associated with those places. This can hurt the local businesses. The other concern is for the local residents. We should be entitled to have guests visit us at our homes without a project like this making the parking situation too bad to bear. If this project is approved without the City mitigating the parking situation, its easy to foresee the unfortunate negative impact that it will have on our quality of life and potential property value losses. Please reconsider the approval of this project or build a parking structure nearby to fix the parking situation first, then approve the condos after the parking structure is fixed.
