Subject: OPPOSED Agenda Item 14: 3/9/2021 Anaheim City Council Meeting
Anaheim City Council and City Councilperson for District 1, Jose
Diaz:
I am OPPOSED to Agenda Item #14 on your Anaheim city council
agenda for Tuesday, March 9, 2021.
have to live with all of the over -packed and unregulated amounts
of people being jam-packed into one and two bedroom apartments
at Knott and Ball with their overflow traffic coming into my
tract. Many of these apartment dwellers are even from Buena
Park, since we are on the border. Buena Park went to permitted
parking a year or two ago, so now these apartment dwellers J -walk
across busy Ball Rd to get to our tract to retrieve their
vehicles. The situation is SO BAD over here, that a couple of
vehicles drive most of apartment dwellers in on weekday mornings
to pick up their work trucks and extra vehicles. These vehicles line
our streets; it is so bad, residents are having to leave their trash
cans out all week to save themselves some parking in front of their
own home!! These cars and work trucks remain here ALL
WEEKEND, even blocking the ADA ramp: at each
corner!! And let's talk about TRASH! Yes, trash all over our
streets, not to mention oil seeping out of their eye -sore vehicles in
front of our homes!
I have discussed this AT LENGTH with the APD Traffic Division,
who states it's ok for them to J -Walk, and even had a meeting with
the Traffic Engineer for the City of Anaheim. And their response
is: "Raise $500 and submit an application to go to
permitted parking!" YES, this is the BS that the city and APD hand
us: "There is nothing we can do!" At one point APD had the city
errect NO J -WALKING signs; but when there is no APD to enforce,
what is the use?
They expect US to canvas our area to speak with residents and
raise $500 just to get an opportunity to vote for permitted
parking. Then the city wants US to self -monitor the permitted
parking and call APD when there are violators! Yeah, right, we
can't even get APD to respond when something REAL
NOTEWORTHY TO APD is happening around here! Oh, and then
the City of Anaheim wants us to pay a yearly permitted parking fee
to do THEIR JOB FOR THEM! It's a SCAM!!!
We are PRISIONERS in our own homes!!! The
apartment dwellers, as well as criminal transients,
have taken over our streets and community, and
the city does NOTHING!
There is not enough room in these apartment complexes to house
the 13 cars and work vehicles per one bedroom apartment
buildings!!! There are NO REGULATIONS on how many people
these apartment dwellers are packing into one small
apartment! The city and police offer us long-time residents NO
SUPPORT ON THIS ISSUE!
If you want to see the aftermath of what this will look like if
apartments go up, contact me and I will take you on a Field
Walk of my neighborhood!!!! Oh, I know, you are all too busy
for that, right?
urge you to vote against item 14 so that the residential tracts
surrounding BALLIWESTERN, doesn't become another
BALLIKNOTT!
N
If the Tatarian family wants to build apartments on a small lot
to make a quick buck, let them do it in Cypress
where THEY LIVE!!
