Mayor and Members of the Anaheim City Council,
I respec?ully ask the City to explain why it would pursue California’s Prohousing Designa?on when significant concerns
about traffic, parking, infrastructure, and evacua?on safety remain unresolved.
This is not a ques?on of whether Anaheim should build housing. It is a ques?on of why the City would encourage even
greater density before demonstra?ng that our roads, infrastructure, and emergency evacua?on systems can safely
support the growth already approved.
It is concerning that the City Council, City staff, and the Fire Chief previously concluded that addi?onal density on our
roadways would increase evacua?on risks and threaten public safety.
East Anaheim and Anaheim Hills are located in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, where evacua?on is a ma?er of life
and death. Residents have already experienced the reali?es of wildfire and gridlock. Seeking Prohousing Designa?on and
state funding to encourage even greater density while these unresolved safety risks remain is completely irresponsible.
Public safety must come before development incen?ves.
Anaheim should not be seeking state incen?ves to encourage addi?onal density when it has yet to demonstrate that the
growth already approved can be safely accommodated.
Respec?ully,
Jackie Arch
