Subject:\[EXTERNAL\] Anaheim Hills, No to California’s Prohousing Designation

I highly concerned and respectfully ask the City to explain why it would pursue California’s Prohousing
Designation when significant concerns with CURRENT daily impact to the residents today regarding
traffic, parking, infrastructure, and evacuation safety remain unresolved.
This is not a question of whether Anaheim should build housing. It is a question of why the City would
encourage even greater density before demonstrating that our roads, infrastructure, and emergency
evacuation systems can safely support the growth already approved.
The City has already prepared studies, but independent CEQA counsel identified serious deficiencies in
the City’s own analyses, including inconsistencies with Anaheim’s adopted evacuation plans and
failures to adequately account for cumulative impacts.
Even more concerning, the City Council, City staff, and the Fire Chief previously concluded that
additional density on these same roadways would increase evacuation risks and threaten public safety.
East Anaheim and Anaheim Hills are located in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, where evacuation
is a matter of life and death. Residents have already experienced the realities of wildfire and gridlock.
Seeking Prohousing Designation and state funding to encourage even greater density while these
unresolved safety risks remain is irresponsible. Public safety must come before development incentives.
Anaheim should not be seeking state incentives to encourage additional density when it has yet to
demonstrate that the growth already approved can be safely accommodated.
Seeking to build additional housing in a known wildfire area with recent wildfire home losses and daily
infrastructure problems creating traffic issues bad enough that we cannot conduct daily activity is
irresponsible. As well, East Anaheim homeowners are being cancelled by insurance carriers who
acknowledge the dangerous conditions but leave existing homeowners who are both tax payers and
constituents with no choices for insurance on their homes. Please do the right thing for East Anaheim.
We are ALL your constituents and your neighbors. Please stop dividing us from Anaheim and respect and
hear our legitimate concerns for our safety based on wildfires and traffic problems that have and are
impacting our community.
Respectfully,
