Dear Anaheim City Council Members,
I am writing as a resident of Anaheim Hills for over 30 years regarding the proposed Shea Properties ~450+ unit apartment complex at the
Festival Shopping Center. I have supported the growth of our community through donations to local churches and schools, but I cannot support a
project of this scale that creates such serious risk.
Our streets are already dangerously constrained during emergencies. Residents vividly remember the 2017 fire evacuation—streets were
gridlocked, and families with children, elderly loved ones, and pets faced real fear while trying to escape. Every fire season anxi ety levels
increase, as neighbors discuss their fears that Anaheim Hills may realize a weather driven fire catastrophe as so many others.
Adding 1,000+ cars from this development could turn a serious emergency into another potential tragedy. The previously proposed Deer Canyon
project, which posed the same risks, was rightly rejected.
I urge the Council to prioritize the safety of Anaheim Hills families and reconsider this project before it puts lives at risk.
Sincerely,
Frances Chase
