Hello, I am forwa rding my prior ema il a bout this project to be included in the public comment. I wa nt to a dd one thing . I rea d i n the
O C R eg is ter tha t C ouncilmember Rubalca va s tated that multifa mily units needed to be s prea d ac ros s the city - i mpl ying tha t Ana hei m
Hills does not ha ve a fa ir s ha re of them. This comment g reatly concerns me beca us e it ma kes me thi nk tha t the C ounc i l woman is not
fa milia r with our neig hborhood even though s he is voting on s omething tha t directly affects our nei g hborhood. The 92808 zip c ode,
where this project will be loca ted if a pproved, is alrea dy full of multifamily units . There a re multi pl e, l a rg e apartment complexes as
well a s s evera l condo complexes , s everal townhome complexes , a nd s everal attached home c ompl exes . I bel i eve the mul tifa mi l y units
outnumber the s ing le-family homes near this project. Pleas e, lea rn about our neighborhood before voting on s omething tha t directl y
impacts the res idents . We alrea dy have a la rge portion of multifa mily units .
We als o ha ve s evere fire threa t as I hope you are a lready a ware a nd what is mos t conc erning . Addi ng this projec t wi l l onl y inc reas e
the threa t of cata s trophe in a future fire to all of the current res idents as well as new res i dents from this projec t. Addi ng this projec t
will only add to our alrea dy too long evacua tion times . I hope the s afety of the current res idents is a t the forefront of your
cons idera tion. This project s hould be denied.
Thank you,
Julie Jarvi

Subje ct: Anahe i m Hi l l s Fe stival Ce nter
I am a res ident of Ana heim on Quiet C anyon C t. In the 92808 zip code. I a m a g a ins t the fes tiva l center property being allowed to have
a larg e a pa rtment development on it. We live in a very hig h fire zone, a s you know. We ha ve been evac ua ted multi pl e times for fires ,
as you know. The las t time was 2017 where it took s evera l hours to eva cuate. I reca ll dri ving up Serra no during the evac ua tion and
s eeing a pa tch of fire jus t s evera l feet from my ca r. Thankfully, that little pa tch didn't g row bi g g er and blow i nto my car due to the very
hig h wind that da y. Since tha t day, the only change I've s een by the city a re little blue s ig ns on pol es pointi ng out my evac ua tion
route. The "Know Your Way" pla n that ha s been put in pla ce is not enforcea ble a nd does not ta ke into a cc ount the extreme s tres s
people are under during a n evacua tion. People will do what they need to do, whether it i s pic k up thei r ki ds at s c hool or pets at home.
An evacua tion during a fire is cha otic, a nd we don't need a nother 1000 cars on the road from this development a ddi ng even more time
to our eva cuation to s a fety.
Als o, has the city cons idered the extra traffic from the cemetery tha t is being pla nned? Are you awa re tha t Sa nta Ana C anyon ea s t of
Weir is a parking lot every afternoon with 100+ cars inching towa rds the freewa y entra nce a s peopl e ha ve c ut throug h our
neig hborhoods to a void the 91 freeway? What is your plan for the a dded tra ffic for the c emetery? How are our s treets g oi ng to handle
extra cars from the cemetery a nd 1000+ cars from this development? Our neig hborhoods c a nnot handle the current a mount of cars
coming throug h.
The movie theatre currently on the property has been clos ed for a few years . In tha t time s i nce it clos ed, the traffic ha s only g otten
much wors e. This project is not offs etting a ny movie theatre traffic. It will a dd tra ffic.
Pleas e lis ten to us , your current res idents of the a rea. I feel like we a ren't being hea rd, a nd you all are s uppos ed to repres ent us . We
are a ll terrified of the next fire a nd the next eva cuation. I don't wa nt to die in my ca r. We've s een this ha ppen i n other citi es . Pleas e
don't ma ke it ha ppen to us here.
Thank you,
