Subject:[EXTERNAL] Vote NO on the Festival Project / public comment
Warning: This email originated from outside the City of Anaheim. Do not click links or open attachme nts unle ss you recognize the
sender and are expecting the message.
Please accept this letter as written public comment against the proposed Festival Project, a high-density housing development located within a
designated Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone.
I am writing to ask you to vote "No" on the Anaheim Hills Festival Center apartment project. The city's own reports admit that it already takes
residents over three hours to get out during a fire. To then say that adding another 7 minutes of delay is "not a big deal" is incredibly frustrating to
those of us who live here. If a bucket is already overflowing, you don't keep pouring more water into it and say it's fine. By approving this, the city
is basically admitting the evacuation plan is broken but choosing to make it even more crowded anyway.
We need our leaders to look at the reality of our streets, not just the numbers on a developer's spreadsheet. Please do the responsible thing and
protect the residents who are already here. We need better ways to get out of the Hills, not more people trapped in them. Please vote "No" on this
project.
Sincerely,
Heather Wakely
District 6
