Dear Mayor Aitken and Members of the Anaheim City Council,
I am wri?ng to ask you to oppose the City's Prohousing Designa?on applica?on because of its poten?al impact on public
safety in our fire-prone hillside communi?es.
I am especially concerned that this designa?on does not appear to clearly protect Anaheim's ability to address wildfire
evacua?on issues or other safety concerns. Much of Anaheim Hills sits in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone with
limited evacua?on routes that are already strained. Housing produc?on should not come at the expense of public safety.
I am also concerned that the Prohousing framework rewards reduced or inadequate parking, which can push cars onto
the same narrow streets we rely on to evacuate. Good housing policy should create livable, survivable communi?es.
Please keep the Council's full authority to weigh evacua?on and safety on every project, and oppose the Prohousing
Designa?on applica?on.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Hillyer
