Dear Council Member,
I moved to Anaheim Hills becaus e it is a beautiful, family-oriented community, but I am very concerned about the propos ed Shea/Fes tival Center apartment project.
Since moving here, I've learned that our neighborhood is in a high-ris k fire zone with very limited ways to get out. I was s hocked to read that it already takes over
three hours to evacuate this area during an emergency. Adding over 1,000 more people and their cars to our s treets s eems like a huge ris k to everyone's s afety.
The project's environmental report admits that thes e new apartments will make evacuation times even longer. As a parent, I think about what would happen if a fire
broke out while I was trying to get my [kids /pets /elderly parents ] to s afety. If the roads are already failing, adding hundreds more cars into the mix will make a bad
s ituation impos s ible. It feels like the city is hoping for the bes t rather than planning for the worst.
I am not agains t new hous ing in general, but it has to be built in the right places . Putting high-dens ity hous ing at a known bottleneck in a fire zone is not res pons ible.
I am as king you to pleas e put our s afety firs t and vote "No" on this project until we have a real solution for getting people out of the Hills s afely.
Sincerely,
Mary Tran
