Alyssa Lauffer,
My name is Phil Hotsenpiller, and I am writing to express my wholehearted support for the proposed Anaheim Hills Festival
redevelopment plan, and to strongly urge the approval of the Final Site Plan, including the 447-unit multi-family residential
building and its associated improvements.
I have been a resident of Anaheim Hills for more than twenty years. My wife and I are homeowners here, we have raised our family
in this community, and Anaheim Hills is not just where we live—it is where we have invested our lives, our work, and our future.
In addition to being a long-term resident, I am also a local property owner and business leader. I own two buildings in the Weir
Canyon Corporate Center, directly adjacent to the Festival Center. I experience firsthand how critical this area is to the daily rhythm of
Anaheim Hills, and I am well acquainted with both its potential and its current limitations.
The Festival area has served our community for many years. It includes the existing commercial shopping center, a hotel, and a senior residential
community. While it has been an important anchor, it is clear that the site is ready for thoughtful reinvestment and modernization.
This redevelopment is both timely and necessary.
Of particular importance is the 447-unit multi-family residential component. Anaheim Hills needs more housing, and this project
represents a responsible and appropriate opportunity to meet that need within an established, mixed-use area. Thoughtfully planned residential
development in close proximity to retail, services, and employment centers strengthens the community, supports local businesses, and allows
Anaheim Hills to evolve in a balanced and sustainable way.
For these reasons, I believe it is a high priority that the Final Site Plan be approved to allow this residential development and its
associated improvements to move forward without unnecessary delay. Doing so will:
Address a real and growing housing need
Strengthen the local economy and commercial vitality
Improve the overall functionality and long-term relevance of the Festival area
Enhance the quality and character of Anaheim Hills as a place to live and work
As someone who is personally invested in Anaheim Hills—emotionally, financially, and professionally—I support this project because it
represents responsible growth, not overreach. It is the kind of reinvestment that healthy, mature communities require to remain vibrant and
competitive.
I wholeheartedly support the Anaheim Hills Festival redevelopment plan and respectfully encourage the approval of the Final Site
Plan, including the 447-unit multi-family residential building.
Thank you for your time, consideration, and commitment to the future of Anaheim Hills.
Respectfully,
Phil Hotsenpiller
