Q: Will there be more opportunities for participation?
A: Yes! The City has released a survey, available in English and Spanish. The survey will remain available through May 2021; it is available on the City’s webpage (linked below). Additionally, the City has monthly Housing Element Update Committee Meetings where public participation is welcomed. The City is also planning an additional public meeting in late spring, all outreach opportunities can be found on the City’s website, here:
www.anaheim.net/5848/2021-2029-Housing-Element-Update.

Q: Are the RHNA numbers final? How will the City accommodate the RHNA allocation? A: Yes, the RHNA numbers were finalized by SCAG on March 4, 2021 and approved by HCD on March 22, 2021. The City plans to take a holistic and comprehensive analysis approach to accommodating the RHNA. This includes, but is not limited to, analyzing vacant parcels, opportunities for redevelopment, and considering Accessory Dwelling Unit production. The adequate sites strategy is guided by Assembly Bill 1397, and the City will pair the analysis with appropriate programs and policies.

Q: Has the City already identified areas to accommodate the RHNA? A: The City is in the process of collecting data and analyzing opportunity areas. No determinations have been made as the City will continue to facilitate discussion and gather feedback from the community. Additionally, it is important to note that the sites analysis process is to identify areas of opportunity for housing and provide channels for the market to build it.

Q: How does the City determine how many unhoused people to plan for? A: In considering its unhoused population, the City of Anaheim conducts its own point in time count. Additional resources and information regarding unhoused persons in Anaheim is available here: www.anaheim.net/4991/ Addressing-Homelessness. Additional data used by the City includes the US Census, the American Community Survey Estimates, U.S. Department of Finance Data, Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Consolidated Planning/Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data, and more.

Q: What happens when a City is not meeting the RHNA need for a current cycle? A: For cities that are not meeting the RHNA need to date, Senate Bill 35 kicks in and requires streamlined housing approval for specific projects. HCD tracks city building permits through the Annual Progress Report (APR) submitted to the state each year. Currently, the City of Anaheim is subject to SB 35 streamlining for proposed developments with ≥ 50% affordability.

The workshop was provided in two languages (English and Spanish) using live translation and translation headsets, the information on the PowerPoint presentation was in both English and Spanish.

The City welcomed workshop participants and provided team introductions. During the workshop, the City’s Consultant team provided a presentation which included the following information:
• A refresher of background information and basic education about the Housing Element Update. • An update on the status of the Housing Element document and a timeline of efforts to date. • An overview of Community Outreach efforts to date including:

o The available public review draft of the Housing Element o A summary of key findings and comments received from the community • Direction on how to access the Public Review Draft document was provided and an overview of the analysis and intention of each section within the draft. • A discussion and summary of the sites analysis strategy identified to meet the City of Anaheim’s RHNA allocation.
• A discussion and summary of the draft policies and programs and how to read policies to identify objectives, timing, implementation, and funding source.

Following the presentation, the Housing Element Update Team opened the workshop for community discussions and questions. All community engagement comments, and participant feedback are detailed below.

COMMUNITY QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS
Q Does the Housing Element speak to affordability?
A Yes, sites are identified at all income levels.

Q We want to make sure that we aren’t creating silo zones and that we allow for the flexibility for mixed income.

Q In this process, I am concerned that we are still zoning for the lowest density in the higher income areas of the city.

Q Is the predicted plan for the 6th cycle to double the amount of housing opportunity and try to hit the mark? Was this the similar plan for the 5th cycle?
City of Anaheim
Housing Element Update
Community Workshop #3 Summary

A Yes, the City has identified ample capacity for the 6th cycle in hopes that implementation can meet the RHNA goal. The 5th cycle sites requirements and strategy were not the same.

Q I am a representative with the southwest carpenters, I suggest that you use and hire local skilled workers during this process. It cuts down on commuting and less VMT and GHG emissions.

Q For the sites that would require a rezone, does the City take the initiative to rezone before the developer shows interest or proposes a project?
A Yes, the rezones will be City initiated as a part of the requirements of the Housing Element.

Q You spoke about how the plan was available online, are you making it available in print and is it accessible to the Latino community?
A Yes, the element is available in print at City Hall and at the Anaheim Central Library. The document is available in Spanish by google translate.

Q When I learned about the meeting, there was a post on Facebook to provide comments on the document, but it would be helpful if there was a link attached with the post.

Q Is this an entirely new document or is it a change from the 5th cycle? A The document is entirely updated with new data and information from the 5th cycle.

Q If you made major changes during the public review period, would you start the whole process again? Would the document be recirculated?
A The document will continue to be made publicly available as it is updated.

Q Is the state having any discussions on simplifying this effort to include best practices? This seems like a lot of effort to have cities go through every eight years.

Q At the end of this, the state should have created a road map and should be able to go city to city to show best practices on how to create and develop housing.

32 Housing Production Strategy 1C: Expedited Processing for Extremely-Low, Very-Low, Low- and Moderate-Income
Housing Developments
The City shall continue to offer expedited discretionary entitlement and plan check processing for lower income housing developments across all City reviewing Departments. Expedited processing provides an incentive to encourage development of affordable housing projects as shorter development timeframes results in lower housing production costs. The City will evaluate the effectiveness of the expedited processing program and modify as needed to encourage affordable housing development. As part of this evaluation, the City will analyze and monitor the effectiveness of inter‐departmental coordination to ensure that expedited reviews are occurring in a consistent and coordinated manner.
• Objective: Expedited processing for affordable housing developments to reduce housing production costs.
• Responsible Party: Community Development/ Planning & Building /Public Works/Public Utilities/Fire
• Source of Funds: General Fund
• Timeline for Implementation: Evaluate within one (1) year of Housing Element adoption and implement annually, ongoing for 2021‐2029 Estrategia de Producción de Viviendas 1C: Procesamiento Acelerado para Desarrollos de Viviendas para Ingresos Extremadamente Bajos, Muy Bajos, Bajos y Moderados
La Ciudad continuará ofreciendo derechos discrecionales acelerados y procesamiento de revisión de planes para desarrollos de viviendas para bajos ingresos en todos los Departamentos de revisión de la ciudad. El procesamiento acelerado proporciona un incentivo para fomentar el desarrollo de proyectos de viviendas asequibles, ya que los plazos de desarrollo más cortos dan como resultado menores costos de producción de viviendas. La Ciudad evaluará la efectividad del programa de procesamiento acelerado y lo modificará según sea necesario para fomentar el desarrollo de viviendas asequibles. Como parte de esta evaluación, la Ciudad analizará y monitoreará la efectividad de la coordinación interdepartamental para asegurar que las revisiones aceleradas se realicen de manera consistente y coordinada.
• Objetivo: Procesamiento acelerado para desarrollos de viviendas asequibles para reducir los costos de producción de viviendas.
• Responsable: Desarrollo Comunitario / Planificación y Construcción / Obras Públicas / Servicios Públicos / Incendios
• Fuente de fondos: Fondo General
• Cronograma para la Implementación: Evaluarla dentro de un (1) año de la adopción del Elemento de Vivienda e implementarlo anualmente, en curso para el 2021‐2029.

• The Committees role in updating this Housing Element/policy plan. • How do we make the Housing Element process valuable statewide; housing policy should not be done in vacuum.

• Affordable sites identified are often being absorbed into the market. There has to be a comprehensive approach where the developers get what they need but the City also gets affordable housing units built in the City.
• Needs to be give and take from both the City and developers. The cost should not be a burden on one end entirely.
• We need to find a new way to create affordable housing in the City.

• The context around low income is important because it informs people about who is low income, it could be local public workers/teachers. This context can help break the stigma around low-income housing.
• Who are stakeholders and how are they identified in this process? • It is important to have a serious dialogue about affordable housing. • There are many vacant units in the moderate and above moderate developments. Could those be considered as opportunity units?
• Development of affordable housing needs to be citywide. • Are we going to be able to see or a list of who all is here tonight? • Can housing element language be more clearly stated so Anaheim adheres to RHNA, aside from the 'market rate' units?
• Developers paying into senior rental assistance program as fee incentive instead of providing affordable units should not be allowed.
• How do you intend to capture more surveys from Spanish speaking community, which is a sizable population in Anaheim)?
• Are these housing for very low and low-income category provided through deed restriction or non-deed restricted sector?
• Is there element language that supports ADA upgrades to current stock of housing, specifically for our aging owning neighbors in single-family homes? • Is there opportunity for language regrading first refusal on city owned property for affordable developers?
• The cities who have done better at low and very low category adopted inclusionary requirements. Wouldn’t this be a minimal starting point? • Housing can be tied to good connections to transportation, so parking isn't a major issue, how much is Transit Oriented Development being supported by our housing element? Can language be drafted to encourage more collaboration with OCTA to make parking less of a concern for wealthier neighbors?
• What is the income threshold for low and median income? 4 • Is there space during these meetings for committee members to propose action items to be explored and voted on? Does that need a committee member to initiate? • (Re: possible in-person HEUC meeting): Consider a hybrid with public participation virtually with limits
• (Re: possible in-person HEUC meeting) How would public participate if full vaccination is not possible for everyone?

6. Next steps
Staff provided an overview of next steps for the update process, information on future public engagement opportunities, and a short discussion about potential in-person meetings. The committee provided recommendations about in persons meetings, and tentatively decided to host the first in person meeting in July. Staff also provided the time and date of the next HEUC meeting.

• Clarification about what the City reports to HCD as affordable for the low, very low- and moderate-income categories.
• Do ADUs count towards the low-income housing; does Anaheim count ADUs towards low income RHNA?
• Programs should specifically capture how to increase housing at different income levels. • Incentives and implementation plans should be a priority in this Housing Element. • The Housing Element should include effective programs. • Would the City consider an affordability requirement for land that the City will rezone, rather than a blanket ordinance for the entire City?
• Are there checks and balances with how well the plan comes together? • What is the reporting process and progress update of the City to the state?

4. Review of Past Performance

The Consultant team and City staff opened the floor to comments and questions from Committee members; below is a summary:
• Has there been feedback or studies of the success of ADUs in other communities? • Is there a city that has been successful in implementing the ADUs? 3 • Has the City looked at surplus land that the school districts or other public entities own? • What are the considerations for a site that may not lend itself to multifamily or high density, how can the City consider those sites?
• Important to look at programs that identify City-owned sites/properties for affordable housing.
• In addition to churches and using houses of worship, can the City also consider other non-profits?
• Can the City create housing programs for public/government employees? • What are the top three things that Anaheim needs to do differently in the sixth cycle to make more progress towards the RHNA?
• The City should consider creating a local finance trust, create local funding to leverage county and state funding.
• How do we ensure that market rate and affordable housing move together?

• How are unincorporated areas being addressed or considered? • What different incentives were/are most successful?
• Will the Housing Element address short term rentals?
• That inability to provide avenues to engage virtually is not in the spirit of the Brown Act.

Surely the City has the technology and council members have called in to meetings. • "A whole host of various methods"? Define with some specificity exactly where the survey was advertised."
• This is once every 8 years. There is no second chance. • Will this presentation be available to the public?
• How did SA [Santa Ana] do in this category?
• RE: High RHNA numbers comment - "crazy #s" as in over met need. How will this cycle be different?

• An overview of pipeline projects including how the city defines the different stages of pipeline projects and the total number of units in the pipeline. • A review of the qualifications for sites identified to accommodate the lower income RHNA units
2 • A review of the qualifications for sites identified to accommodate the moderate and above moderate income RHNA units
The consultant team then provided maps of the identifies candidate sites to accommodate the RHNA. The maps displayed the candidate sites by council district (1-6). The City then walked through the sites identified on each map, the income category of the sites and provided background and context for the purpose and identification of the sites. The City the provided an overview of the sites summary table, describing the summary of units each sites category can yield/
Committee members had the following questions:
• Can you clarify which corridors the sites identified are one? • Are the low very low based purely on default density? • Can you clarify how a project that was started during the 5th cycle, but was not finished, can it be counted in the 6th cycle?
• The Kaiser site (off of lakeview), is that marked as pipeline? • For the imperial sites, are they designated for low and very low? And is that where the theater is? Is this just going to be a zoning change?
• It looks like the Savi Ranch option was removed, is there a reason for that? • On La Palma and State College (northeast corner), has that site been considered for rezoning? The mall has been dying for 20 years and it would be a good option for low income.
• As you are identifying potential sites, in the even that they are privately owned, what is the process?
• What does “Residential Capacity that Requires a General Plan Amendment”? • Are general plan redesignations generally successful?

3. Draft Policies and Programs Summary
The Consultant team provided information and an overview of the draft policies and programs for the 2021-2029 housing element. The consultant team provided a quick background on the development of the policy program, then walked through the new draft policies for 6th cycle. The consultant team also reviewed the policy discussion items that the City would like the committee to discuss, including the following topics:
• Inclusionary housing
• Incentivize housing on religious institutions and community facilities • Update community care facilities ordinance
• Continued compliance with Surplus Land Act
• Implementation of Affordable Housing policy
• Surplus Land Act (Angel’s stadium)
. A summary of committee member comments and questions is below:
• I have an issue with Housing Strategy 5A – Low Barrier Navigation Centers are not housing, why is this mentioned? Is it mandated by the state? • Do we have anyone on the committee or does the city have a connection to the churches? A lot of the churches in my committee have large parking lots. 3 • The programs look good, but in the last cycle the city ended up with a disparity between low income and market rate housing. I want to learn more about the City’s process, how often do you revisit the Housing Element, is there check and balances internally, how often do you revisit the Element with the public?
• In terms of opportunities for the public to weigh in, is the best opportunity the City Council meeting for the annual review? Is there an outreach program? • What is the intent of the discussion topics? Can you provide a clear question about what feedback you are looking for, for each topic?

4. General Public Comment
The Consultant team opened the floor for public comments. The following are summary themes of questions received:
• Are the total units shown in the chart for lower income, are those total units that would be built through 2029 for those incomes?
• Is there any way to differentiate between rentals and homeownership? • Is there any covid money to support these efforts from the government? • Inclusionary policies should be a requirement
• There should be a requirement for ownership vs. renter, in order to create a variety of housing options.
• On the policy discussion items, I think workforce and low/moderate income housing should be required. Inclusionary in-lieu fees should be substantial in order to fund other affordable housing projects.
• Focus on enhancing job opportunity and protecting Anaheim residents. • Use local work force and create policies to focus on increasing local workers and create jobs, create a local hire component.
• I support a future inclusionary housing ordinance, the cities that have inclusionary ordinances seem to be doing better.
• Focus on lower income housing for its community benefits and economic benefits and because it is the right thing to do.
• ADUs and maintaining affordability is essential.
• I think the pro-housing designation is great and very important.

5. Open Committee Member Q&A
The Consultant team and City staff opened the floor to comments and questions from Committee members; comments were received verbally and through the Q&A feature in the zoom webinar. Below is a summary of all committee comments:
• Inclusionary requirement is a key part in getting the low and very low-income housing. • It seems clear that the Anaheim stadium sale with go through, the deal may need to be redone and I’m curious if the deal goes through, will it change any of the number shown today?
• Tacking on additional cost while there already challenges to getting housing built makes it harder for developers to create housing
• Inclusionary requirements should be used more on a discretionary basis where they can make significant progress, but a one size fits all instrument feels like a bad policy. 4 • District 3 has done a lot to create low and very low-income housing and therefore inclusionary housing should be applied in all areas of the city in order to disperse affordable housing opportunity.
• Inclusionary housing policy is appropriate when looking at housing policies that creates incentives for market rate development, if you rezone sites but don’t have an inclusionary policy to go with you will most likely get housing production that is at market rate.
• It is reasonable to request in exchange for highest and best use that some of the developed housing units are affordable to low and very low-income units. • Important to find a more nuanced and discretionary way of approaching inclusionary housing, we need more housing, and we need to do it in a way that meets the different needs of people in the community.
• Is there any effort being made to include permanent supportive housing? • What are the future outreach plans and possibilities? There is concern that responses to the survey don’t adequately reflect the concerns of low income and Spanish speaking community.

6. Next steps
The Consultant team provided an overview of next steps for the update process, information on future public engagement opportunities. The Consultant team also provided the time and date of the next HEUC meeting. The following questions were asked during this time:
• When does the first draft need to go to HCD?
• The Kennedy commission just did a great workshop and, if that was taped, can the City make it available?
• When are the workshops that the public can attend? What time are the meetings and where is the information going to be posted?
• Can you send the information with the dates and times out to the committee members? • Will there be a presentation at city council for the findings and recommendations of the committee?

7. Adjourn
The Consultant team called the meeting to a close at 7:40 p.m.

Appendix C: Summary of Outreach [DRAFT JUNE 2022] C-401 C.5 Technical Focus Group Interviews
This section contains a summary of the Technical Focus Group Interviews.

Key findings from discussions and responses are summarized below:

Major Employers in the City – July 8, 2021
- Housing opportunities for workers, including entry level to executive. - Many employees travel from far due to housing challenges. - Integrating housing close to work is ideal.
- Need to preserve existing employer properties to preserve job growth/expansion, but integrated development may be appropriate in some circumstances.
- Strong collaboration needed with housing developers and employers to understand needs. - Match local housing options to local employee ability to afford them. - Resort area workforce should have opportunities for local housing, access to transportation and services.

Housing Advocates and Community Organizations – July 19, 2021 - Great opportunities for higher density and mixed-use developments as long as they’re in the right areas.
- Opportunities to redevelop underutilized properties.
- Opportunities to redevelop industrial areas.
- It’s possible to preserve the single-family character or many Anaheim neighborhoods while still developing higher density housing.
- Need for longer affordability covenants.
- Need for senior housing with services close by.

Housing and Real Estate Organizations – July 19, 2021
- City should identify which sites have infrastructure (sewer) deficiencies to make it easier for developers in site selection process.
- City should prioritize HEU site selection in areas that can take advantage of TCAC and other state and federal programs.
- City staff support is vital to getting a project through the process and staff will usually find the resources to help projects they support.
- City should help disseminate information to combat stereotypes of affordable housing since community opposition and NIMBYism is a constraint to housing development. - Dissemination of information at the decision-making process. - Have EIS, EIS sites already identified to make it easier for developers by reducing cost burden. - City staff should be upfront about sites that may not work in order to save time and money.

Technical Focus Group Sessions were important in gathering information and ideas for actionable steps.

Input from discussions helped inform City Staff and the consultant team on possible Housing Plan Policies and what priorities Technical Groups have.

Slide 2: Housing Growth
Single-Family Housing Types- Figures 1a and 1b The survey provided participants with descriptions of the following Single-Family housing types:
• Traditional Single-Family Homes • Small Lot Single-Family Homes • Townhomes • Multi-Generational Homes
• Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)
The survey asked participants to select the Single-Family housing types that would best help Anaheim provide housing for all residents in the community. Overall, the data shows that participants, both English and Spanish, favored Traditional Single-Family Homes over other housing types provided. Participants of the English survey were also highly in favor of Townhomes and Small Lot Single-Family homes but were not as interested in Accessory Dwelling Units. Participants of the Spanish survey favored Multi-generational homes, followed by live work units; theywere least in favor of Townhomes.

Slide 3: Potential Housing Areas
The survey provided participants with the following list of location types for housing opportunities in Anaheim and asked participantsto rank each location type based on where they would most like to see housing in the City. Participants placed their highest priority area as number one at the top of the list, their second priority as number two, and so on. The potential areas included the following:
• Older Shopping Centers: Aging and potentially underperforming shopping centers within Anaheim.

This option could provide increased access to essential business/retail. • Accessory Dwelling Units: Additional housing units that can be built in backyards or as room conversions in a house. They are also sometimes called secondary units and granny flats. • Along Major Streets: Future housing along the City's larger roadways. These areas currently have mostly retail shops and businesses as well as access to a variety of transportation. • Transportation Corridors: Near transit corridors and transit stops (i.e. bus stops). Housing near transit could provide increased mobility for current and future residents. • City-Owned Properties: City-owned properties not needed for other purposes. The City's analysis would determine appropriate City sites if any are available. • Existing Neighborhoods: Housing on vacant or unused properties on existing residential areas.

Figure 6 displays the data for participant prioritization of potential housing opportunities in Anaheim. The line chart shows average priority ranking for each housing location/type. Participants identified highest priority by placing an option in the number one position, therefore, the lower the number (higher priority), the more important it was to participants.

The results show that the participants of the English survey would like the City to prioritize housing near Older Shopping Centers. City-owned Propertiesand Transportation corridorswere the next highest priority areas for housing respectively. Participants had the lowest interest in opportunities for housing Along Major Streets.

Participants of the Spanish survey identified different priorities for potential housing opportunities in Anaheim compared to English participants. The results show that the participants of the Spanish survey would like the City to prioritize housing onCity-owned Properties. Existing communitiesand Older Shopping Centerswere the next highest priority areas for housing respectively. Participants had the lowest interest in opportunities for housing Along Major Streets.

Your Anaheim Vision: What is your vision for the future of housing in Anaheim? Equal opportunity/Affordable
Guidance for first time homebuyersEmployee housing discount/guidanceTownhomes with rooftopsDowntown LA has some great Live/Work unitsRemove old industrial buildings and rezone for housing/parks/sidewalksSmall homes / 3D homesRemove Industrial buildings to make room for more housing Take out industrial buildings from integrated neighborhoods. More parks. Better sidewalks.

MORE HOMES LESS APARTMENTS
Continuation of existing neighborhoods and additional higher density housing in current retail and commercial areas along major transportation corridors.

STOP BUILDING LOW INCOME APARTMENTS. THIS DAMAGES OUR CITY AND BRINGS DOWN THE VALUE OF HOMES When it still feels like we live in Orange county and not a copy of LA or NY.

Housing that seamlessly fits into the surrounding community. Housing that has yards for children, adequate parking for each unit Fire evacuation dangers from overcrowdingSqueezing condos into a smallArea. Taking awayuseful business to replace with condos. Too many people in the area already.Mixed Use Housing, such as converting an old strip mall to a new one with stores on the ground floor with housing above.

Lower housing costs to build. Such as fees and requirements Lack of parkingToo many apartments. Not enough parking.Preserve existing neighborhoods. Build qualityhousing that takes into account community opinion, parking and neighborhood culture.

We need less housing in Anaheim hills and more parks and restaurants.

You should put new housing in areas where people work in West Anaheim. East Anaheim is already a fire hazard and cannot support new housing.I think it's unrealistic to think that Anaheimcan take on a significant amount of new housing. Anaheim is already built out. West Anaheim is congestedalready. East Anaheim is also congested and can't support more housing given the fire danger.

Homeless Veteran housingToo many apartment buildings and low cost housing. Becoming too crowded.

Build them in Los Angeles County, like Lancaster.

Build new housing in Lancaster.
pokiticsI see pokitics playing a MAJOR eoll in this, ie, continual DUMPING ON WEST ANAHEIM, and not enough housing being built in places like ANAHEIM HILLS! Yes! QUIT DUMPING APARTMENT BUILDINGS IN WESTANAHEIM! BUILD THEN IN HARRY'S TRACT INSTEAD! Your Anaheim Vision: What is your vision for the future of housing in Anaheim? I don’t want any rezoning to allow multi‐family housing to be built in our neighborhood. Please don’t allow someone to be able to tear down the housenext to me and build an apartment complex or duplex.Affordable housing for 1st time home buyersA vibrant mix of mixed use housing Rent controlled housing units for senior citizens
NIMBYism ( not in my backyard) opposing housingunits close by that residents support in areas not near them.

Would like to see a 1st time buyers program, rent control for seniors, and low interest loans for home improvement in existing neighborhoods.

We have enough apartments in this area.

Build more apartments in anaheim hills and lessin west anaheim, where there are too many apartments The community dows not want more residential inwest anaheim, but the city ignores their pleas and builds anyways. West anaheim is patk poor, commercially challenged and needs less residential.

This survey only wants the residents to say they want more housing. Unfair and bias.

One day, i want to see Beach blvd catering to the real needs of Anaheim...no more housing. What we need are places to go, shop, dine, play and entertain. The area is ignored. I do not belive 3 story apartments are the answer in already dense areas. I would like to see a return of single family detached houses, less apartments, more family oriented homes, not apartments or condos.

Stop overcrowding west anaheim with cheap apartments. District 1 needs quality not quanitity, and is lacking commercial shopping and entertainment.

Stop asking us what we want if you are going to do what you want anyways. We need commercial. We have enough residential.

Its over built in district 2, and we never got the commecial we were promised. There is not a grocery store or coffee house in district 1, but they sure keep building apartments. Unfair to district 1.Adequate housing which doesn't destroy the character of existing residential neighborhoods. A general plan with different types of neighborhoods—some with single traditional family homes and small condos, others with apartments. No forced building of high‐density housing in single family neighborhoods without neighborhood consensus in support.Location of small commercial centers with neighborhood businesses in close proximity to residentialneighborhoods.Affordable to younger generationsAffordable housing. Either allowing for a boarding house style rental or finding a way to limit or discourage people from 'flipping' houses. Flippers take all the reasonable priced places, resurface them and resell for more than the average personcan afford.Tiny home villages! This would help provide basic needs for the working poor so they don't need to camp in their cars or the parks.

Cost mostly.NoNoNoMixed‐use, so businesses are on bottom and apartments or condos on top. Often has a park space as part of property.Veterans. HomelessnessOver crowding and nowhere to park Your Anaheim Vision: What is your vision for the future of housing in Anaheim? Tiny homes or apartment buildings for foster care youth that have aged out of the system or for veterans that would otherwise be homeless with programs that help them move on to secure housing with employment or schooling initiatives.

Acquire empty commercial building/lots that havelong been closed or unused and create housing there.

Foster youth aging out of the system, retired military especially those discharged for medical issues Vacant commercial building
or properties not being utilized, not enough parking when apartment's are in or near housing tracts thus causing neighborhood streets to be overrun with cars tightly parked and quickly driving in communities
Thanks for trying to find answers to the housing crises and making the public's input a priority. I saw this on Nextdoor app, perhaps more outreach is needed though on social media, in newspapers, etc.Small house community, multistory ADU community.Allow multistory storage container home to reduce cost of construction. Reduce front yard setbacks in single family house to allow for ADU or duplex.

Employee housing, Teachers housing.Zoning, regulations.Maintaining a spatial community, congested communities give the idea of a lack of a thriving economical community. The community that a park or acentral playground brings a true practical living, for low income and the middle income.

NIMBYs are a huge problem and are prevent us from investing in apartments and public transportation for denser development I hope to see urban, walkable, dense development, supported with public transportation to eliminate the need to own a car in Orange County.

Please actually try to allow for cheaper development. It's absolutely disgusting that rent is so high, forcing me to live with my parents and public transportation is piss poor to put it lightly, forcing me to drive a car in this traffic‐mess that is our freeways.Smaller SFRs, Starter or Empty Nester cottage type housing, 2 master bedrooms w/ sitting/retreat area, walk‐in tubs, on reduced size lots w/ garages, patios. Smaller spaced ADA compliant single‐story ground‐level‐entry units w/ adequate easily accessible storage in kitchen, laundry areas, esp, to encourage early/later independence w/ dignity. Smaller lot footage offsets maximized living area = affordability. & less upkeep. not enough parking for apartments..... they bleed over into housing tracks with causes problems for the home owners. From parking to trash...

Apartments need to have more parking spaces than they currently have on there property There is a current parking problem with apartments today.. They need more spaces in the apartment complex. They currently are parking in neighborhoods and leaving trash and taking the neighborhoods parking...

Stop building apartments since you do notrequire enough parking for them.. Its is ruining the City...

No more apartments. only build single family homes. You are creating an over crowded condition with all the apartments and town lofts...

Stopdeveloping or there will be no green belts left.... Stop being greedy There's not enough room to build more housing, the suburban sprawl is difficult, and I do believe there's plenty of space for ADUs. I'm hoping morepublic transit in denser spaces will help
https://www.wharfdc.com/ is a very impressive example of what could be done with mixed‐use.

There's plenty of space in Anaheim Hills, it's incredibly dense everywhere else in Anaheim. I wonder if there's more that could be done in Anaheim Hills.

There are cars lined up everywhere and public transit could be enhanced.

Your Anaheim Vision: What is your vision for the future of housing in Anaheim? It's incredibly important that we build housingnear transit to make it convenient for residents to choose mass transit over driving.This should be done intentionally. I believe homes that are near major transportation corridors should be offered an incentive to build one since the people that would want to live in an ADU will not have much as an option to own a car since therewont be dedicated parking for them. Also it would incentivize people to take public transit
Anaheim Hills is ripe for growth. This could also encourage diversity in the area.

A housing future where every citizen in our region, regardless of their economic status, has the ability to choose where they live and can grow into different homes as there life evolves, their career grows, and as their lifestyle changes.I'm very excited about the future of Anaheim,and housing will be a very important that must be addressed in order for the community to grow. I wish theplanners the best of luck as they develop the plan very exciting! Find a place for the homeless, making neighborhoods cleaner and safer.

Safe clean street with small businesses thriving with community support.

Tiny homesSober living20% low income requiredSober living homesI high rents Support easier development
Variety of living options affordable to currentcitizens. No need for market rate development to attract wealthy from elsewhere. Stop gentrification! Stop gentrification!How about mini houses? For the homeless crisis.Utilization of out of compliance seedy motels for homeless housing.

Regulated short term vacation rentals. Bring itback
Affordable and upscale housing available in anypart of the city, especially in west Anaheim. Not only enough housing but an abundance of Parking! Housing for a diverse community that cherishessafety, health, local cultural enrichment and entertainment.

Dormitory homes for singlesHomes that accommodate a caregiver in a room orADU for both parties to live and thrive together.Long term rehab residents that need dialysis orcancer care.Local government does not mandate a reasonable %of housing to be built in a short period of time. Some large properties are negotiated to specialinterests instead of what the state asks of our city to produce.A vision for well designated shopping and medical resources that aren’t spread too far from each other.Please continue to look at meaningful resources for our Senior community.

It would be nice if we had more safe and AFFORDABLE clean housing that allows pets. Also, crime has been up/quite frequent and it seems not much ifanything is being done about it. I hope our city will come back to the beauty it once was or better.

Your Anaheim Vision: What is your vision for the future of housing in Anaheim? I love our city, we dont want to lose our home. I hope things improve. Thank you for seeking the opinions of your resident's. We've lived here many years and care about our once beautiful and safe city and homes. The job markets aren't paying well either so affordable is extremely important for many. (Homeless have been starting to camp outin front of people's properties or sleep on people's doorsteps etc. Not to mention the trespassing,thefts andattempts at theft)3D‐printed homes; using cargo containers for modular construction; hotel/motel conversions; tiny homes 3D‐printed homes; using cargo containers for modular construction; hotel/motel conversions; tiny homes Actually, I'm not sure we have a lack of for‐sale homes, but I *am* sure we have a lack of *affordable* homes, whether for sale or for rent. In particular, we have a lack of homes that are affordable to folks in the lowest income brackets, such asmany employees of Disneyland and the surrounding hotels.

We need less single‐family zoning and more multi‐family and high‐density housing. In fact, we should eliminate single‐family zoning altogether. Costdoes not have to be a barrier if we are willing to use innovative techniques such as 3D‐printed homes, cargo container construction; tiny homes; hotel/motel conversions; modular homes.The only viable, cost‐effective way to end homelessness in Anaheim is to provide sufficient housing for folks in the very low income levels, and sufficient permanent supportive housing for those who need help to remain housed.Support and subsidize affordable homeownershipLess apartments means less street traffic and more availability of street parking because people don't pay extra for parking spots within their apartmentcomplexes. This also means less street crowding; too many cars on the street is unsightly. Don't make Anaheim a leasing city.

No, we don't need residential and commercial together We Need Affordable Mixed income housing
Your Anaheim Vision: What is your vision for the future of housing in Anaheim? Affordable and regular service maintenance services are available and people ask without being fearful of being kicked out or increasing thier rent.

No do not add more housing for homeless people provide work for those who can and programs for mental services and drug free programs.

Extremely high cost for small place with littleparking and old places that landlords don't maintain. If tenants ask for general maintenance landlords get bothered and ignore or ask tenants to moveYou could make it easier for us home owners whohave the ability to build on their larger property. The city charges are very expensive for middleclass owners to build.The costs are very high and it does take a longtime for the city to respond to the client.

Make affordable housing and use the regulations you have at hand to adapt a schedule of better regular indoor and outdoor maintenance in our Anaheim apartments. Landlords must do better maintain our older apartments than they do now. Making new housing is not the only solution, update our current homes that our citizens have without increasingour rent.A mix of traditional housing and apartments bring back the previous flag (2018‐2019)
Better city planning will make neighborhoods more cohesive and people focused instead of car focused. There will be a large variety of housing type, size, and cost interspersed together with workplaces to suit the needs of various life stages andsituations. Everyone will have access to a park or public greenspace within a few blocks. Pedestrian only and bicycle only paths and streets will improve safety, sense of community, and environmentalimpact.We have to many people in the city already.West Anaheim gets allThe substandard developments and I’m tired of it. Create all future low income and homeless residents in Anaheim hills!Thank you for requesting community input! Being able to create and change ones own space to suit personal needs and a city change to suit it's collective needs is what makes a place feel like home and a community.

My request is to limit the future of housing and Anaheim if new construction is required avoid at all cost compact living it causes a mess for theresidents who currently live in the area
Stop building high density housing that doesn’t have enough parking and cheaply made so they turn into slums in a short period of years. Also starart developing Anaheim Hills with the small homes so their area can be miss used like West Anaheim is the city doesn’t think anything of compact in West AnaheimRent controlled apartments I feel that most apartments now in Anaheim are difficult to afford.Nice and affordable housing City of housing building is not easy to deal with
Small house on small lot but affordable
As more and more company’s are doing on lineorders. Less need for brick and mortar buildings. The land can be use for housing.

Resident since 1957. Have a 34 unit project proposed across the street from us right now. Not happy about it but understand the need for housing.

Orange County has older homes with big lots. Notice a lot of them are torn down to build multiple dwelling on one big lot.

You have a lot of old city dwelling you covertto housing for low income or homeless.If this is for handicaps or people with disabilities. That is a tough one. Case by case maybe.

Your Anaheim Vision: What is your vision for the future of housing in Anaheim? For people that’s don’t have a car or waysto get around this might be a good one.

Modern. Mid‐income. Homeless/transitional housing to reduce homeless population.

Urban living condosRent is to high. My son works in anaheim but heand his family can not afford to live here moved to another county. faster processing time and more affordable housing and independent housing for person with disabilities and their families AffordableTownhomes with good shared common spaces.

Limits on short term rentals, since many peopleuse a second home to make income from Disneyland guests. My husband and I both work full time and itis immensely hard to find reasonably priced rental homes.

I haven’t looked in many years, to be honest,but when I worked at Disneyland, cast had a hard time finding affordable housing in the area.

Anaheim is getting more and more expensive. People who make above minimum wage, work full time hours, and are in no way low income still struggletofind housing.I would like Anaheim to continue to grow and prosper as a diverse city, while making it possible for people of all incomes to live here.

I want to stay in Anaheim, I love Anaheim, I’m glad you are looking into making more housing.

People who have affordable housing available. ADU’s would be very useful.Housing for mental health patientsAffordable housing outside of the resort districtMy vision for future of housibg in anaheim aregrants and opportunities for educators in and of Orange county to own a home to bring more of a neighborhood of working individuals who are typically mo crime.

Housing in Anaheim should have great value forthe price, accessible and affordable for first time buyers, and possess great quality and quality oflife.

Single‐Family homes and Townhomes are great. What Anaheim needs is to get rid of the low life people that trash the city (gangs/stealing catalyst converters, etc). It make the city known as ANACRIME and pushes out people that understands and valuesabout the community.Just want to clarify on the mixed‐use. If you are including single homes next to commercial use is not what I am thing. Look at the city of Carsonand SantaAna on mixed used.Anaheim lacks upper middle class. A lot of lowermiddle class to homeless that floods one house or apartments.

None. Affordable housing is fine. We just have alot of lower middle class and homeless. Why is Anaheim so big on spending homelessness funds? Should it be spent more on make the community safe and getting rid of the crimes and gangs.

Community opposition because they do not want change. Enough land but lack on urban planning. Too many manufacturing job and lack of corporate companies for someone to afford homes.A community without crime/gang to worry (safety)Anaheim needs to get replace current apartments and old unused commercial buildings into a new condominium or mixed‐use (commercial/residential) community. Safe community that residents could bike and feel safe. Stop investing on homeless housing. It brings more homeless people and lowlife people into Anaheim communityParking
Your Anaheim Vision: What is your vision for the future of housing in Anaheim? Less Overpriced Stadium Lofts and More traditional Homes and Candos.

Please do something about the parking and thepeople that have over five vehicles per apartment. Also the vehicles that don't move until street sweeping Plentiful, quality, affordable, and accessable.

I see it not being over populated and everyonelive comfortably Parking!More ParkingI would like Anaheim to focus on revitalizing existing neighborhoods instead of building more apartments. The city is becoming too crowded and quality of life is diminishing.

SkyscrapersSkyscrapers but with housekeeping and Nursing staff to help people with physical and emotional issues When it comes to Land, just demolish oldest properties first..tons of old homes probably have mold, termites..don't need to destroy more Nature..buildup not outNot good for housing bc pollutionGreat..upgrade old strip malls and build modernaffordable units on top Old houses and apartments are the worst..but also hard to get people to let go so can build back better..if you could, essentially take house areaand stack on top of each other, create tall housing structures with new less energy appliances thenpeople would let go of their current houses AbsolutelyThe best property owner is Govt, bc there are too many slumlords everywhere, and too many entities that have multiple properties thatare not the bestI don't know what this is but it has to be better than busy pollution street's And make Future housing more pet friendly so people can rescue shelter pet's I like to see a morph between Tokyo and Miami,with accents Disney everywhereAll ‐ but specifically young adult and students. We are very expensive.

Keeping our existing housing tracts from the 50’s thru 70’s that show Anaheim history is important. We can’t allow them to disappear by overbuilding on them. Old run down apartments should be torn down and replaced with new apartments that are built to house more people.

In addition to working with affordable housing developers to build traditional apartments on city owned land, perhaps we could offer an incentive for religious/charity/service/labor organizations to work with affordable housing developers to createhousing on their property. Imagine if the local VFW had housing for veterans.I see families double or tripled up which meansthey're not finding affordable housing at their income level. I also see individuals, who either work for minimum wage or receive disability, becoming homeless. I think we need to make sure enough Extremely Low Income and Very Low Income units are created for folks who already live in Anaheim.

New affordable workforce housing is created near jobs and transportation. ADUs & JADUs are built what are now single family residences providing intergenerational housing for grandparents, parents & adult children. These ADU/JADUs could also provide affordable rental housing for folks at risk of homelessness, like seniors on Social Security.

I vision Anaheim to have affordable safe modernhousing for all its citizens especially Seniors who have worked hard all their lives.

Your Anaheim Vision: What is your vision for the future of housing in Anaheim? Affordable housesAffordabilityParkingMore affordable and flexible housing. More parking.

Housing needs to be affordable and accessible.The options are rent horribly maintained apartments or own. There is not option for house rental. Most people cant afford or are in a position to buy. Children suffer. Families suffer.

Actual housesEnd homelessness specifically child homelessnessCost is high to live here and to many tourists ruin it for all Would love somewhere my family can afford to live and also places for kids to be safe and play Ship Containers turned into housing.

NoNoRaise the tax on Disneyland instead of chargingthem $1 / year Mothers with disabled children
We barely don’t qualify for housing , yet can’t afford a 1 bedroom for $1600Equal housing for everyone . I see families abuse the housing programFeel free to look into golden skies mobile home park Centralized shopping and dining. The downtown area needs to be refocused due to uncoordinated planning, especially near Disneyland. There needs tobe better dining and shopping options for Anaheim residents.

Permanent residents in designated RV parks . Inother words , RVs that are in RV parks but people live in them.

NIMBY , Affordable land . ..well. Affordable anything ,really. Wages for many aren’t in line with our Cost of living We need strong leaders who can move past brainstorming and collecting ideas and can actually implement things. In the years I’ve lived in Anaheim , I have seen lots of talk, not much action .More single family homes with grocery stores inthe neighborhood Anaheim has built so many apartments that apparently most residents can not afford. They must put 2 families in there to be able to pay rent. Streets in Anaheim look like parking lots. If you drive thru areas of apartments, and single family dwellings you can’t find a parking spot. It really degrades neighborhoods and more vandalism occurring . I have lived in Anaheim since 1977.

Affordable housing for everyone, from traditional single family homes to tiny houses for seniors, homeless and small families.

Homelessness is not because there isn’t enough housing it’s a choice.Affordable Housing for single people and families.

Affordable Housing for Single Upper Working Class Folks.

Unaffordable housing even for someone with a college degree.

Your Anaheim Vision: What is your vision for the future of housing in Anaheim? The building of new homes that are not affordable to anyone in this area creating surrounding homes to rise in value. There are so many complexes that are not used or are empty because of lack of affordability. Even with the housing program for people that work in the city, it is still not affordable. Also, Disneyland and other tourist attractions being allowed to build new developments to for the tourism industry but how much of that actuallyhelps the people living here.Affordable housing for people that already livein this city and people experiencing homelessness. Catering to the community living here not catering to people we would like to live here. This city should be more than attracting tourists. We can make it beautiful and affordable, especially for people who are the backbone of this city’s attractions for companies that make millions.

Just because people live together in a home, like myself, does not mean that our income goes to all living in this household, something that the city should consider, especially when offering rebates and help for low income families. In a home there could be multiple households. And the reason why there are so many homes with multiple people isbecause of the cost and rising cost of housing.

Stop doing high density housing in West Anaheim.If people can’t afford to live here, then theyshould try another housing market. I can’t afford to live in Beverly Hills or Newport Beach?Stabilize and improve existing agin neighborhoods. Stop cramming high density housing in West Anaheim. Equitably distribute hosieinf across all districts.

Infill construction often squeezes too many units into a small area changing the overall "liveability" of the neighborhood.I'm so proud of Anaheim and how proactive we try to be to adjust to community needs and we need to not only respect current neighborhoods but alsoseek unique solutions to welcome those with specialized needs.AHNo housing is needed until after the infrastructure is fixed. We are constantly in a drought and the city can't keep the lights on as it is. Freeways are gridlocked. Too much untreated sewage is finding it's way to the ocean.

More apartment buildings and condominiums in the downtown anaheim area.

ADA and Senior housingLimit rental homes!!Parking and accessibility to services and bus routes Get more people to take this survey and shareit real time.

Your Anaheim Vision: What is your vision for the future of housing in Anaheim? Every apartment complex should be required to have a percentage of apartments available 2 Section 8 or Anaheim housing. If every apartment complex took on some responsibility for low‐income housing it would be nice. Versus having Section 8 total complexes. There would still need to be screening and assurances for payment and compliance to rules of the complex but there are good people out there that are willing but no one will rent to them.

I do see a lot of homeless in the area of Anaheim by beach and ball. It is definitely something that needs to be addressed by the city of Anaheim. Ialso think that because of California now being a state that allows legalize marijuana there is a tremendous number of people moving to the state for that veryreason. This was not a good move on thestate's part.

I would like to see less homeless people wandering around the streets and the corner of Beach and ball not being used for solicitation or drug use.Better police patrol.I have lived in the city of Anaheim for over 60 years. I feel that that many years gives me a very fair evaluation of the city and what it needs.I've seen City go down in its beauty and care of its citizens over the years. I don't like that there are so many streets that are painted red for no necessary reason otherthan not wanting people topark there. I live off of Magnolia between Cerritos and ball and the parking in this area is horrible.

No more apartments in west Anaheim. We are going to look like the slums of Los Angeles. Need to have parking for the residents already living here.

I would like to see Anaheim draw major shopping and dining that is not a latino based market or taqueria‐ we have enough of these.

Attainable housing is better than affordable housing
Large developers are definitely lobbying their local government officials in order to get access to large plots of land where you could build a mixof single housing lots and some condominiums and all apartments instead of these high‐rise apartmentbuildings that are going up all over 92806.To be regulated so that these are only placed in areas where there isn't already a high density population City‐owned land should no longer go to large developers who are creating apartment dense areas, and should go to traditional single family lot sizes.

The city needs to stop prioritizing large profit margins for developers who are donating to political campaigns and instead look at this as a strategy to maintain sustainability with single‐family lots being the first goal and large apartment complexes being avoided since we've already developed more than what is needed and/or sustainable givenour transportation and simple things such as parks and grocery shopping.CrimeYoung couples cannot find a starting homeBefore worrying about adding new housing you should make sure neighborhoods, yards, housing that exists is up to code. Sick of seeing our neighborhoods rotting awayI'm saying Anaheim lacks both homes for sale andapartments because the prices of what is available is absolutely unaffordable. If folks are to make3 times the amount of their rent or mortgage to qualify ‐ prices need to go DOWN. Anaheim, I thinkwe need to subsidize rents and morgatges for houseless or nearly houseless folks, create a lot of single family units that rent or mortgage for less than $1000 a month, extend rent control to mobile homes, and take other measures to slow rising rents.

I see a lot of disabled houseless people near myapartments on state college. They deserve unconditional access to housing, they shouldn't have to get by on the streets.If folks are to make 3 times the amount of theirrent or mortgage to qualify ‐ prices need to go DOWN. Anaheim, I think we need to subsidize rents and morgatges for houseless or nearly houseless folks, create a lot of single family units that rentor mortgage for less than $1000 a month, extend rent control to mobile homes, and take other measures to slow rising rents.

Your Anaheim Vision: What is your vision for the future of housing in Anaheim? Everyone has access to affordable housing. No more houseless people camping on the street. People no longer have to live with 4+ people in an 1bedeoom apartment because they can afford their own safe family home.

Having plenty of low‐income affordable housingcan't be worse for property values than houselessness and crime. Anaheim has exasperated houslesness, crime (domestic abuse, elderly abuse, youth on the street because there's no room to be at home,etc.), and now the Covid pandemic by ignoring it's lack of low‐income affordable housing. Now is thetime to change that! I've lived in Anaheim for 25 years and would love to buy my first home in thiscity someday. I only gripe because I love this city!
My vision for Anaheim housing involves workingclass folks being able to afford homes that reflect their contributions. Their homes are in good shape, provide reasonable amenities and offer safe neighborhoods. My vision does not include, expensivenew apartment buildings driving up the prices ofhomes nearby so as to drive out long‐time residents, who can no longer afford property taxes or increasing rents.

I hadn't heard of this survey until very recently. I am concerned that many folks will not be aware of its existence and the responses will not accurately reflect the concerns of the community. Further outreach to all Anaheim communities, shouldbe done regarding this critical issue.

When you add granny flats to a neighborhoodThe neighborhood isn’t designed to handle the extra auto and foot traffic.

I would rather see condos than apartment buildings. Single family dwellings would be the best. Anaheim's quality of living is going downhill, because we are already overpopulated and traffic congestion a problem.

Please pay attention to the building of more apartments that are causing further overcrowding and parking problems in the city. It's very frustrating.

I think that there is far too much urban‐infillhousing being built: cramming 8 homes into a space that previously held one building. "Barriers?" There's too much development andtoo much traffic. These "barriers" are good things.....if they prevent more development.

AirB&B disgusts me and the council should getrid of itAddressing homeless problems I’ve been hearingother cities building tiny homes for homeless Families with college students to support cost of living for studentsHousing is very expensive almost impossible to buy Anaheim is so wonderful but I would like to seecommunity work towards helping in a program like habitat for humanity where we help in building tiny homes for homeless, women and children and college students.

Sec 8 brings crimeCleaning up the neighborhood parrks of homelessness multi story single family homes. In addition tothat, homes should have adequate alternate parking space (ie. secured bike parking, provided with grants). easing of permits to build more rooms onto existing homes. less restrictions re: setbacks & heights more duplex & other multiplex situations. No more 4 over 1's. Let's build higher if there are multi‐family homes Vacancy tax on homes being held empty for more than 1 quarter for rental purposes We have already permitted more than enough 'attainable' or market rate housing as reflected on the RHNA #'s. all of these housing needs should be permitted in all future fiscal years.The most ridiculous community opposition is fromour own city council members. When a development is not contributing to the council, thencouncilmembers will oppose initially.

Your Anaheim Vision: What is your vision for the future of housing in Anaheim? More density & subsidies for existing homeowners to build density into their own homes. An end to subsidies, tax breaks, & labor agreements with larger developers . No more 4 over 1 developments, instead our city should build higher.

End developer kickbacks from council members when permitting new projects.Very disappointed in my elected officials fornot addressing the homeless living on the streets creating public health hazards and crime.

Sgl family home conversion to duplex/triplex. Motel and industrial building conversionsLack at any level of affordability.

Transitional chosen only if short term step to permanent housing guaranteedOffer opportunities and support for convertingsingle family homes to duplexes/triplexes How about city shift their priorities and put affordable housing at the top of the list for all city properties Lack of political will to identify and make landavailable for low/very low income levels.

Yes, low and very low affordable housing.

Yes, the abolishment of TRO's can add to the housing surplus in Anaheim.

Yes, the city needs more low and very low affordable housing.

Anaheim fails to provide any incentives for builders to construct low and very low affordable housing AND fails to develop a policy to require a reasonable percentage (15%) of any new housing development to build/provide low/very low affordable housing.

Extremely low, Very Low, and more low income housing is needed in Anaheim, NOT the continued promotion and building to support the high cost of living in the platinum triangle, Anaheim Hills, and/or throughout the city. RHINA requirements can bemet if the city will promote and support innovative housing options such as repurposing existing structures, container homes, modular communities, low cost apartments, etc.

Anaheim will receive more funding to provide low and affordable housing for seniors, persons with disabilities and other groups who can't afford funding for housing. This can also help with the homeless population.

The topic of housing is a necessity for the city of Anaheim.Please continue to involve the community in solving the housing situation in the city of Anaheim. noThe number of families who cannot reside in Anaheim because of increased rent is growing.

Your Anaheim Vision: What is your vision for the future of housing in Anaheim? ‐transportation, parking and public transportation‐strain on public services and utility infrastructure ‐Corruption within our local government
Unfortunately, we do not have unlimited growthand must deal with the growing economy and population. Our most degenerative issue with affordablehousing is greedy developers pursuing the most profitable direction instead of having an incentive to do what is best for the community at large. We have so much graft and bribery going on in the city that we must alert federal agencies of this corruption.

A place where "not in backyard" doesn't Group homes, sober livings and recovery residences are the solution.A community of caring and kindness.

I/we would appreciatemore police presence and patrols in the area between Beach Blvd/Dale and Orange/Ball Rd Please stop building high density housing in Anaheim. The city would be much more enjoyable if we had more open spaces such as parks and recreation areas.rents are too expensivemore townhomes and condos available for purchase. Often when new housing developments are built, they are overpriced for local Anaheim families, and they are rentals only. There is not enough affordable housing stock for families to purchase realestate.

There are plenty dwelling but not affordable
Your Anaheim Vision: What is your vision for the future of housing in Anaheim? Affordable for familes with 40 to 75 wages
Please keep our Hills populated single family homes. Multiple dwelling units affect our property values and our lifestyle. They are better for Anaheim tax revenues.Multi family housing effects our home values. Notice how Yorba Linda keeps property values up which is good for tax revenues.look at the way YorbaYorba Linda manages property value and their tax revenuesNone of these types of housingKeep property values good and don't add housingthat bring down current values.

More affordable yet good looking neighborhoods
Thanks for asking your citizensI believe income should not be the only factorwhen looking to help housing needs. There are various groups of younger generations that needed todrive up debt to keep up with living cost. While salaries went up, their debt remains the same, thus not benefiting from the pay increase many have seen.Stop investors from buying property and jackingup property prices so single families can have a chance to afford buying a house or renting at a reasonable More affordable housing for first‐time buyers and more housing for the homeless I'd like to see houses and apartments with yards big enough for kids to play in.

I love living in Anaheim and the current housing market shows low home in inveny. More housing in the city would lead to an increase in much needed housing inventory.More affordable housingMore available housingParking and safe driveways. Stop letting peoplepark on the street where it blocks the view of on coming traffic. Housing should provide adequate parking.

The tiny homes seem to be a good idea for the homeless. They could be temporary housing as long as certain eligibility and requirements are met.Stop building places without sufficient parking. Seriously look how many people will live in these places and make accommodations for parking or don’t build them. Too many cars are parked in neighborhoods and streets. Creates too much traffic.

Cost, definitely! The prices have soared! It isimpossible to compete in this market, with investors outbidding you. Some housing should be reservedspecifically for first time buyers, to make it fair.

Anaheim has enough people in the city for theresources that exist. More is not better.

Waive fees for ADU's
My vision for the city of Anaheim in terms of housing is for there to be programs & funding made available specifically for first time buyers. We need affordable housing that coincides with the wages of Anaheim residents. We also have a huge homeless problem that needs real solution, not temporary bandaids.More ADU's. Less homeless
I appreciate the city of Anaheim for creatingsurveys like these that take into account the opinions/perspectives of its residents.

Your Anaheim Vision: What is your vision for the future of housing in Anaheim? Prevent banks and house flippers/commercial sellers, or renters from purchasing housing prior to individual families.NoTypically people are outbid by others trying tomake a profit and resale or rent.

More space and natural park areas. We do not need tons of high rise buildings and section 8 housing. It causes stress on individuals and more violence in compacted areas.None, with the heavy traffic. Apartments and condominiums won’t help the city. It will cause more traffic than their is and less parking.Yes, apartments and condominiums in other citieshave up to 3 parking spots available. So attendants won’t park in the street or residentialWe need more Senior Housing, Anaheim is a very beautiful city. And our seniors should feel safe to walk and exercise anywhere The cost of living is ridiculous highly priced.We need to stop making real estate a business for profit. That’s destroying the ability for many families to afford to live in a traditional single home. The price to live here in Anaheim is ridiculously expensive. A needs assessment needs to be conducted in order to assess our community and fromtake action and help out our low‐income and middle class residents not have that stress of being able to afford to live!!!Less affordable housing and more Senior housingwith more parks and walkways. What the point make more housing if it’s going to create heavy traffic.

An Anaheim that is inclusive and diverse. As well as an environment that is eco friendly. We need to restore those communities that have high crimerate and build safe places around the city that are open to the public to do physical activity, yoga and many other activities that will help the mind body and I hope this initiative really helps out the housing crisis happening in Anaheim and overall California.

I would love to see affordable single family homes. I’m tired of seeing over priced apartments being built all over the place. It would be nice if the city does choose to make apartments they are affordable.Affordable rental housing targeted at hourly Disney cast members. Disney has a large employee base. If more Disney employees lived in the area, we would see more spend at Anaheim businesses.

Allowing ADUs to be available for short term rentals, like Airbnb, would make Anaheim more appealing.

Thoughtful, modern housing like The Domain on Anaheim Blvd. dramatically lifts the aesthetic of the city. This is needed further south on Anaheim and on Broadway across from Broadway Arms.Vacant spaces make the city appear run down andforgotten ADUs are great, but they are not as appealing when homeowners do not have the option of using them for short term rentals.

Housing developments seem to take a long time tobecome reality, perhaps because of lengthy approval processes. I’ve been looking forward to the BARN and Homemade projects for years, but neither have started construction. Another barrier is the lack of permit parking in new developments.

Anaheim will be thriving with residents of allages. Young professionals and growing families alike will call the city home. Communities like Colony Park exist throughout the city, where people can live in large, planned neighborhoods with accessto parks and amenities. FRAN will help transport people throughout the city.As new housing is built, let’s be sure to include plenty of green space throughout the city for residents to enjoy. Thanks for all your work! Anaheim seems to have far too many combinationbusiness and housing buildings that claim to be affordable,but are not. Affordable housing needs tobe in Anaheim Hills as well as the rest of the city. The NIMBYs should not always win. Housing for the homeless should not be so restrictive. Shelters have so many rules that no one wants to live there.More supply but this is very tough in a landlocked city.

Your Anaheim Vision: What is your vision for the future of housing in Anaheim? Have to end the NIMBY approach to housing. I amtotally fine with the new multi‐unit housing being built. There should be some guidelines that require some affordable housing that have less amenities and hopefully cheaper building costs.

Existing neighborhoods are preserved, but the future is multi‐family or townhouse/rowhouse model.

Always great to get community feedback. Thisis a tough topic in all of California.

More condos like in the platinum triangle, market rate and affordable housing.We need to "redevelop" land. Fill in the urbanareas with high rise condos.

Vulnerable people need housing.

We need a pathway for redevelopment. People needto feel that they are getting a chance to investing in where they live and not just pay a landlordfor a roof over their head.An area where young people and young families can buy a starter home, even if that isn't a sigle family units. Something that allows people to build Lets build more and make it easier to build more in already developed areas.

DuplexesNaNaNaNaCondominiums have rules that keep up the property.

Senior Housing could be 60 years instead of 55.

Not to build up to the street (set back) have some greenery and space. New builds to have character (like the older houses, but new). Safe parking.

Please don't over do it.Affordable pricesBoth on sales and rents Lack of informationNot only on English, but in another idioms PriceAffordable housing with a stress free for all Anaheim Residents The City of Anaheim should create or work with aCommunity Land Trust or a City Land Trust as an alternative to renting and traditional homeownership.

Same comment as above. Community Land Trust.The City needs to incorporate an Inclusionary Housing ordinance that provides regulatory policy to increase the amount of affordable housing production at the deepest levels (ELI, VLI, LI).

The City needs to adopt a Rent Stabilization orRent Control policy as well as a Just Cause policy to provide stability to vulnerable households that are susceptible to displacement.The biggest barrier to housing is cost. Many ofmy peers of my age group (ages 20s) left the City to live in the inland empire or out‐of‐state due to the cost barrier. I am one of four children and I am the only one left living in Anaheim.

Your Anaheim Vision: What is your vision for the future of housing in Anaheim? Yes. Please have more community meetings thatthe public can attend. Host community workshops that inform people about the update.

I wish to see closeness of neigbors and not thegrandiose apartments like the ones near the angels stadium. They are outrageously priced and No apartments!More house. NO MORE APARTMENTS. Apartments crowd the streets because people are too cheap to buy parking permits. Make Anaheim a city for people who actually want to live here and call it home; don't make it a renting city.

Again, can't stress it enough. Don't make it arenting city. Make it a city people call home. Apartments and temporary living facilities make it crowded and the unsightly.pod‐based housing. Currently, many Disney and other workers have 8‐12 people 'living' in a household and parking in a single family home, which creates crazy parking issues in houses never intended for such density. A 'pod' arrangement as is currently being experienced with in LA would enable workers who are not able to fully reside but work inAnaheim (at Disney) ‐ who might otherwise sleep in their cars ‐ to find better "housing" here. However, city structures would have to sustain that.live/work units are almost widespread throughoutAnaheim ‐ as Covid‐19 showed when people worked from home ‐ but informal, off the books, and unsupported. With so many strip malls nearly vacant or under‐utilized, redeveloping and designating thesestructures would help with affordable housing AND with affordable startup working environments as well.certain plots in my neighborhood which might beused for "tiny homes" and similar housing are too small to be used for a full‐sized, single familyhome, but could accommodate 1‐4 people with a well developed unit. Owners have been trying to complete permits for years, but the costs, permit processes, and the rest of the capital at stake have put that out of reach. It should not be.

No more housing is needed. We don’t fit as itis
Please no more housing. Invest in people beautifying their homes. We don’t fit in Anaheim anymore.

Reduce the number of industrial buildings to ass housing, parks, sidewalks, etc. Add live/work spaces to Angel Stadium parking lot. Develop moretownhome communities with rooftops.Build condominiums on top of Targets and other large commerical one story buildings. That way, it is easier to have a walkable city iwith less needof cars and accommodate everyone.Please provide us more affordable housing andhousing for the homeless. We do not need anymore luxury apartments when many of us are without permanent homes.I don’t believe we need to build mega complex’s. The just bring more traffic & congestion. I think the city has enough people.

Motel conversions to supportive housing
NimbysSober LivingSober LivingSober LivingSober LivingSober LivingSober Living Your Anaheim Vision: What is your vision for the future of housing in Anaheim? Right now more residential properties seem to begoing up without properly assessing the parking needs of current residences. Each project only determines the minimum amount of parking each unit based on bedrooms and not on actual residences. A 2bedroom apartment can have two people in the master bedroom and one in the other, with each of themneeding a car in order to work, but their apartment is only allotted 2 spots, with noadditional street parking or option for a parking permit.While Anaheim is focused on growing their residential population, I would like the city regard their current residents with just as much consideration. As an apartment resident currently living in the city and paying my rent like any other upstanding citizen, my car has been continually penalized for trying to park at my own residence, due in large to current structures not allotting for the maximum amount of parking within their buildings and viewing statistics over individual livelihoods.

I have contact the city numerous time to attempt to remedy my parking situation, and have been bounced back between city officials and private property owners. IN all honesty, I would just like to park where I live, and the still continuous workI am putting forth to make that happen just proves that I am only considered a residential statistic to developers. Please do not grow the population and then ignore concerns after the fact.

More affordable housing for small families andcouples.

What is considered "affordable" is still too high. We keep developing housing that will not sell just to appease developers.

Housing that is truly affordable. Building Market rate housing that doesn't sell is not a way to fix the housing problem.

Manufactured HomeMore affordable housing for home buyersNoNoMore housesAn Anaheim that is family friendly with traditional single family homes that are affordable and eco‐friendly.

Most folks hurdles would be the cost of living.Its too expensive.my ideal vision for Anaheim is a diverse multiethnic community mixed with folks from all income brackets.

Regular homes3and 4 bedroom homesKeep home Like The City of BreaKeeping the regular middle class home in Anaheim.

Multi generation housingI know that in anaheim hills most homeowners donot want high rise or low income housing here. There’s not enough land. The other concern is thetraffic. It’s already so bad here so adding more homes is not fair to the people that already livehere.

There should be more single family affordable homes for sale. Not just condos.

As a teacher who was only able to purchase a home because of the low income offers, there should be more opportunity for this type of home ownership.

There should also be more opportunities for single family affordable homes and not just condos.

We need affordable programs for accessory dwelling units.

Building close to public transportation hubs oreasy access to public transit would be ideal.

Policies that ensure the production of affordable rental units.ALL OF THEM!

Your Anaheim Vision: What is your vision for the future of housing in Anaheim? Jose Moreno is awful. He needs to move to LA and take his crazy ideology over there where they would just love him. He’s bad for our district and bad for Anaheim. The homeless issue is a huge problem and he is making it worse.

Return the colony area, especially downtown, toa feeling of historical significance. Housing should honor the style of Anaheim’s historical period.

Converting abandoned commercial space to dwellingsLoft style officeToo many rentals‐ more actual homes for sale areneeded‐ someone is listening to economist who are reading the data as needing more rentals but no‐we need more housing for families that is affordable.

We do not need any more of this "multi‐family housing." We are full of them.

We're OK here.Stop. Enough.Beautify our current area to be a desireablePlace to live.Changing built fabric of neighborhoods; unwillingness to allow new development in certain areas; high density / concentration of new housing development in certain part of the city and none in others Small one story single family homesYoung start up families......Most homes in Anaheim are large and costly. First time buyers can’t afford these unless they have a relative to helpfinance! Young families can’t afford homes in Anaheim Hills unless they have relatives to help them finance a down payment! The houses are to expensive for middle class families.I would Like you to stick to the master plan that was put in place as far as how the land should be developed. There were certain zones put it in like RH‐3that should be followed and adhered to.

Don’t try to put a big huge commercial business right in the middle of a residential area. Find a better and more suitable place.

Sticking to the master plan no matter how much developers keep trying to buy off our council members!Adhere to the master plans in areas that have them and only change them with some kind of resident vote! A city where young families can raise their families and have a supportive community structure with safe and equitable schools. A city in which multigenerational families and individuals that grew up in Anaheim can maintain a sense or community and belonging with available affordable housing spaces. A city and community that takes care of theirseniors, disabled, and homeless by providing supportive transitional housing and low cost housing.

We just bought our house this year, but it wasa very challenging. There isn’t much opportunity for younger couples/families to buy family homesin a moderate price range. We bought our house at $490,000, which is unheard of amongst family andfriends. In the 90s my parents bought their house in the$300,000 range. There were more options formy parents than for me(someone who was born and raised in Anaheim). I wouldn’t be able to affordtheaverage price of a home in Anaheim $600,000 and above.

Beautiful, more green spaces, Costco, Traders Joe, parks, less crime I believe the housing that is already been built in Anaheim is quite complete where is the businesses that would attract residents . What about convertingsome of these abandoned buildings to homeless housing? Has anyone considered how to handlethe traffic situation of those multi use facilities? Your Anaheim Vision: What is your vision for the future of housing in Anaheim? Anaheim is critically deficit in meeting RHNA numbers. We need more low income, very low income,and affordable housing. We need PSH for our vulnerable residents. We DO NOT NEED more market rate housing developments such as Platinum Trainagle and what is currently being built at Building type ApertmentsMore SFR's and stop all other building. If CAhas a true lack of resources (power, water, over‐crowded streets & freeways, overtaxed emergency services, etc.), there is no need to bring‐in more people if the resources and infrastructure can't support it.

Thank you for the opportunity to give some input.

RHNA allocations to Anaheim is not
done by any measurable method. These
numbers are not reasonable and when
compared to adjacent cites / counties
to Anaheim. While this draft plan does a
reasonable good effort to meet the
latest RHNA, the residents and
contributors to this plan will be out of
the loop on its progress.

The city staff was very good in their
presentation, addressing publicrequests (Having Spanish translation), and capturing all public comments
without bias. The City Staff did
everything possible to share and
communicate zoom meetings and inperson meetings. Unfortunately Public Participation was quite low. We need
more neighborhood advocates to get
the residents involved.

Housing cost values on Table 2‐33 are
way off.

If you get the absolute current housing
cost, 75% of all residents cannot afford ahouse.Need more efforts on socializing "ADUs" to the community.

ADUs should apply to large lots with a
small bungalow or smaller sized house.

A conversation with the Church
community to leverage parking lots for a
few ADUs should be considered. Please
keep this conversation active.

Recently passed SB9 and SB10 concerns are not
addressed in the draft plan. In general a process to
address all in SB or changes throughout the this time
period is needed.Addressing home affordability for civil service professions such as teachers and public service needs
to have a vision plan. Many of these folks are critical to the city but are underpaid to afford local housing.

Not all 6 Districts are getting equal affordable housing distribution.We need affordable, ADA compliant, transitional / halfway / reform housing in every 6 Districts.

This HECU addresses future housing plans but not
address existing housing condition upgrades on
existing units. Do residents in lower condition housing get a priority on new affordable housing units?
Part of the problem with many people is seeing older
affordable housing units decaying or not kept up.

The plan in itself is decent. This document is way too big for the average public reader to comment. All previousmeetings to be referenced through a link.An abstract should be present in this document to guide the reader.It would be appropriate to show what was present prior to an affordable housing development. Especially on a blight or outdated building being redevelop into a new housing unit.Since once the plan is approved to the the 8 years, I would highly suggest that the City Staff retain a few Committee members (Voluntarily) to continue to get updates and
changes beyond this plan.

Very good work by the City Staff. I do
appreciate everyone's professionalism.

It seems that the data from the 5th
Cycle indicates that there was a plan
and no efforts to ensure the plan was
on course to meet the intended housing
goals. From the previous 5th cycle
results, there needs to be a better plan
for quarterly communications to
everyone and a plan course correction.

A continued population growth seems
unrealistic; sooner of later the rate of
the increase will slow as the entire city
will be saturated.

I understand this is about housing but
planning an increase in low income and
Poverty status and Homelessness is ok
but more efforts should be made to
ensure a reduction in those areas with
assistance.

If any affordable housing is developed and the area
that is already impacted with parking, the surrounding
areas should have permit parking for the
neighborhood residents for X years paid by the City.

The housing plan indicates the housing goals and the
potential locations. Once this plan is approved, there are no additional or deletions of any locations of the for next 8 years. How would this plan address emerging available
properties or properties that are no longer under
consideration?
C‐1
It was great that the City Staff
captured the public comments exactly
as stated.Still a very noticeable lack of public
participation.

We all need to figure out a good
communications plan for all City
meetings. Unfortunately this HEUC
effort faces the same issues as other
departments with a lack of public
participation.But overall, this HEUC City Staff did an
outstanding job.Thank You!!

I appreciate the inclusion of all the
Elements of the General Plan for the
city because it gave me a better sense
of the City's values. It states later that
the RHNA proposed a total of 17,453
housing units; Almost 50% of those
units have been designated to be of use
for above‐moderate income housing at
market value. Based on the income
ranges of Anaheim's population in
Section 2, I suggest a reconsideration of
the housing units committed to very
low‐income and low‐income housing
and inclusion of a physical map of
where these proposed sites will be with
the income value labeled as well in
appendices.

The census data was well presented, but
the community demographics compiledin section 2 should be provided with some context on a map to see the areas
that have lower and higher‐income
ranges. It would also be effective to see
the areas that have households with
housing issues between renters and
homeowners on a map to give the
council a better notion of the areas that
need improvement in their housing
since conservation and preservation is a
core policy strategy area. Incorporating
the special needs populations into
housing was also highlighted, but there
were no specifically proposed housing
opportunities that would be offered;rather they are considered.

Most of the section felt like it was an explanation of
definitions and policy constraints that would be
difficult to understand without prior knowledge of
housing policy. It should also be highlighted that
throughout the discussion on the variety of housing
types allowed there was not a proposal, assessment,
or explanation on how many housing units should be
provided by each and for which demographics. It is
especially concerning, personally, that there are no
proposed plans for houseless populations throughout
the housing element but is mentioned as a population
of concern. Based on the maps provided that
distinguish ethnicity and income range populations
with the proposed sites labeled, it's evident there are concentrated areas for low and moderate‐income
housing. Is this in alignment with the Fair Housing Act? Are there other factors at play, such as constraints and resources being evaluated, when proposing these
concentrated areas?
The Housing policy considerations are well‐intended, but broad language used in policy allows free room for
accountability not to be taken. Although there are many factors being considered in the policy, there is no
accountability or security in the descriptions to ensure that it will be advised before the council. A proposal of an inclusionary housing ordinance could incentivize the
council and contractors to reconsider the allocation of housing units, similar to the City of Santa Ana's Housing Opportunity Ordinance. As well as incentivizing existing programs, such as Section 8 voucher programs, so that
waiting lists for housing and financing is addressed. It was mentioned very briefly that previous Housing cycles that did not fulfill the units proposed by the RHNA could be used under certain conditions it met for lower‐income
housing. Do the previous cycle RHNA housing units add
onto the new RHNA units proposed? How are they
accounted for? The quantified objective of the housing
units at the end is helpful, but a breakdown of where the number of units are coming from should be included when explaining the policy strategy to ensure accountability.

Based on the maps provided, many
sites are designated as needing an
amendment to the General Plan to
permit residential use. Will these
amendments be in place or decided
by the council? Are these sites
guaranteed an amendment to the
General Plan or is it dependent on the
council to approve?
I would like to thank you for the work
putting this together because it is not
easy. It is also great to see the input of
the community be considered; it makes
us feel heard.

In the this document you state that
about 56% of the population is in the
low, very & extremely low income. Yet
you are planning on only allocating
about 10% of each of the respective
categories and more than half of the
proposed projects are going to be for
market price.Seeing that a grandmajority of the Anaheim residents are working minimum wage paying jobs,
there needs to be in my opinion a bigger
percentage of Affordable Housing. Not
just 10%.

It was very concerning to see that a
grand majority of the proposed
projects where highly concentrated inDistricts 4 & 5 and there was almost no plans for there to be projects in
district 6. I definitely think that theseproject should be spread out through out all the districts.

One of the thing that should be
considered is insuring that this
document is accessible in other
languages. Especially since about 54.3%
of the population is Hispanic/Latino.

Also in this process I found it personally
difficult to find some of meetings thatwhere held via Zoom. So I'd hardly say there was a good community outreach.

Anaheim didn't build nearly enough low‐
income and very low‐income housing inthe last RHNA cycle, and there is little in this report to assure the city's residents
that the city will do a better job during
the new 8‐year cycle. As a member of
the HEUC, i heard far too much
acquiescence to "market forces" among
the committee's discussions. The
market isn't going to build housing
that's affordable to all city residents.

The city has to do more than just
"suggest" or "encourage" such
developments. We all know that this
report is merely aspirational and does
not guarantee that a single dwelling
unit will get built. Fortunately, the state
now has more tools at its disposal to
ensure Anaheim's housing needs are
actually met. Everyone in Anaheim
should be watching what the city
leaders are doing about housing
throughout this new RHNA cycle and
vote accordingly.
