TheCityCouncilowesananswertotheissuesraisedbythisdevelopmenttotheresidentsintheadjoining neighborhoodaswellastotherestofAnaheimresidentsbeforemakingadecisionontheproposal.

TheyremainunansweredbecauseAnaheim’sPlanningProcessisbroken.

ThoughtheoldCouncilhasbeenbeenvotedout, andanewCouncilvotedin, thePlanningProcessremainsbroken. In theeyesofAnaheimresidentsthisishowthePlanningProcesslooksintheCoveChurch project:

Inthiscase, acommunityscreeningprocess precededthecommunityoutreachmee?ng. Iamnotques?oningtherightoftheapplicanttoscreencommunity outreachmee?ngs. Iamques?oningtheinten?onandvalidityoftheircommunityoutreacheorts.

Summer2023- CeciliaFlorescollectedover100signaturesinherneighborhoodonape??onprotes?ngtheCharter Schooldevelopment.

Shecollected13addi?onalnamesonasecondpe??onandagainturnedit inatCityHall. Bothpe??onswerelost. Both failedtobeincludedinthepublicrecordordiscussedattheJuly17, 2023PlanningCommissionHearing.

3. PlanningHearingJuly17, 2023- ThomasGorham, CityContract Planner, madethe10min. presenta?onofthePlanningCommissionReport. Thereportwas286pageslongwith12 a?achments:
1 a.) Sta Report………………..……………………..11pages.
b.) Condi?onalUsePermitDra? (1a?achment)….16pages.
c.) Applicant’ssubmissions (10a?achments)…….223pages. d.) PublicComments (1a?achment)……………….36pages.

Anaheim’sSta Reportincludednoneoftheirowntrac, parking, noise, orenvironmentalreports. Thecity’sSta Reportlistedthethesite, describedtheproposal, andgaveitsconclusion. Anaheimconductednoindependentsurveys oftheneighborhood. Anaheimcompletednoin-depthindependentanalyses. Inthisproposal, Anaheimtrustedthe applicantbutdidnotverify.

I’mnotques?oningtherightofScholarshipPreptospendwhattheywantedtogainapprovalfortheirproposal. Ido ques?onthefairnessoftheprocesswhenthedeveloper’ssubmissionsmadeup 78% ofthePlanningCommission’s report. Thedevelopersubmi?ed223ofthe286pages.

a.) CaliforniaCostalWorks d.) VeneklasenAssociates
b.) StudioW. Architects e.) RedHookPartners
c. ) UrbanCrossroads

4. PlanningHearingJuly17, 2023- CommissionerMichelleLiebermanques?onedwhyCeciliaFlores’s100-signature pe??onwasnotintheSta Report. Therewasnorecordofit beingreceivedatCityHall.

AlthoughCommissionerLiebermansawthepe??onherselfduringavisittothesitetheweekbefore, shefailedto followup. Thelackofconcernorevencuriosityforthemissingpe??onmadeit clearhowmuchthePlanningCommission valuedtheviewsofthecommunity.

5. PlanningHearingJuly17, 2023- TheHearingwas2hours. PublicCommentswere1hour. 15minutesoftechnical dicul?esaroseandseveralspeakerscouldnotbeheard. 25% ofthepubliccommentswerenotheard. Thelead communityac?vistopposingtheproject, CeciliaFlores, wasoneofthemissingvoices. ThePlanningCommissionmade noeort todelaytheproceedingswhilesearchingforasolu?on.

Switchingmicrophonessolvedtheimmediateproblem. Solvingthe largerdysfunc?onofthePlanningCommissionandProcesswon’t besoeasy. Recognizingtheproblemistherst step.

6. PlanningHearingJuly17, 2023- ThePlanningCommissionandCitySta failedtoaddressthereasonsgivenbythe 1976and1982Councilswhensimilarproposalsweredenied. Againtheylistedtheissues, butfailedtoconduct independentstudiesandanalyses. Thepreviousneighborhoodproblemsposedbyplacingaschoolonthissite remain: “trac, noise, health, safety, peace, andthegeneralwelfareoftheneighborhood”. Whathadchangedwasthe sizeoftheproposedmaximumenrollmentforthecurrentdevelopment. In1976, themaximumwas140. In1982, the maximumincreasedto300. Today, themaximumhasgrownto480. Thewidth, congura?on, andcapacityofthe streetsfron?ngtheproperty, WagnerandRioVista, havenotincreasedsince1976. Beloware2excerptsfromthe1976 and1982CityCouncildecisions:

In1976aproposalforaprivateschoolwithamaximumenrollmentof 140wasdenied: “Thattes?monywaspresentedthattheexis?nguseofthepropertyhasbeendetrimentaltothe adjacentsingle-familyresiden?alproper?esandthattheproposedexpansionoftheusewouldsubstan?allyincreasethe noiseandotherimpacts.”
In1982aproposalforaprivateschoolwithamaximumenrollmentof 300wasdenied: “…thattrac generatedbytheproposedusewillimposeanundueburdenuponthestreetsand highwaysdesignedandimprovedtocarryhetrac inthearea; andthatthegran?ngoftheproposedusewillbe detrimentaltothepeace, health, safetyandgeneralwelfareoftheci?zensoftheCityofAnaheim.”

7. PlanningHearingJuly17, 2023- Relyingontheanalysisofa 2 studypaidforbytheapplicantcanleadtofalseconclusions. InA?achment #9oftheTrac ImpactAnalysisthe applicantsubmi?ed2trac projec?onsfor2025: 1includingtheschoolproposaland1without. Themonthin2025 selectedfortheprojec?onswasnotdisclosed.

8. CityCouncilMee?ngAugust15, 2023- OrangeCountyWater District(OCWD) Execu?veDirectorofWaterQualityandTechnicalResources, JasonDadakis, gaveageneraloverviewand report. Heclosedinsaying (OCWD) is “developingtrailconnec?vityalongtheSantaAnaRiver(SAR) toAnaheimCoves TrailatBurrisBasin." Thememoofunderstanding(mou) onthis "shouldbereadysoon". "CitywillalsoworkwithOrange CountyFloodControl, UnitedStatesArmyCorpsofEngineers.”
This ‘trailconnec?vity” includes:
a.) BuildingaparkalongtheSantaAnaRiverfromOrangewoodtoBallRoad. ThiswasfundedinFeb. 2023witha $5 millionfederalgrant.

Theapplicant, CitySta, andthePlanningCommissionallfailedtoexaminehowfutureprojectswouldimpactthe ongoingissuesof “trac, noise, health, safety, peace, andthegeneralwelfareoftheneighborhood” whichwererst notedinthe1976and1982CityCouncils.

Warning: This email originated from outside the City of Anaheim. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and are expecting the message.

I am writing in opposition to the building of a Tk 8th Grade School with upto 480 students at the Cove Church located at 2780 E. WAGNER AVE where it meets Rio Vista Street. I live down the street on E. Verde Ave. and I do not wish to have my quiet neighborhood disrupted by parents dropping off students early in the morning and picking up from 3 6pm in the afternoon. I know in their application they said they will use an offsite shuttle system to reduce traffic and parking but I know that many parents will find this bothersome and will still come and park in the neighborhood around the church with disregard to our homes and streets. Not to mention the traffic on the main street Rio Vista. Additionally, they said they will not have people walking in the surrounding streets but I find it hard to see how they will monitor this and with almost 500 parents and students that is almost 1000 people coming into my neighborhood on a daily basis disrupting my quiet area. We have a great community and this will add noise, traffic, trash, and a wide variety of other problems. I ask that you not approve this application.

Mayor Aaitken and councilmembers,
I am a homeowner in the City of Anaheim, I live in CD 5 in close proximity to the proposed project referenced in the subject line.

I urge you to vote No on this project, for the fact that the environmental document did not provide sufficient mitigation efforts that will impact the nearby residentsaffected by the increase in traffic, noise and air quality concerns. The State of California Senate Bill 743, which mandatesthat any new project hasto evaluateVMT ( Vehicles Miles Traveled) and mitigate new VMT wasn' t properly addressed in the environmental report. This Project disproportionately impacts a mainly older agegroup community whose main sourceof income is social security, with a lot of young Latino families and some of whom are low- income residents. Many of these families, including myself, are not able to attend council meetings due to work and family obligations. Therefore, I urge you to please hear our concerns and vote No for the DE2011- 00218 Prep Charter School.

Lastly, while I am in favor of giving families a choice of school options (including Charter schools), this location is not suitable for the expansion plans and amount of students being proposedaspart of this Project. I urge you all to visit the site and seewhat the residentsare talking about, do not rely on presentations. There are many places within Anaheim that would be more suitable, most recently in the corner of Lincoln/ Sunkist there was an opportunity to convert a business to a school, with all the amenities a school would require. I am confident there are many more similar locations that the school can look into asalternative sites.

Thank you for your consideration.

Warning: This email originated from outside the City of Anaheim. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and are expecting the message.

Good Afternoon, Council Member Faessel,
I am writing to express my strong concern about the proposed Charter School project DEV2021- 00218) by Scholarship Prep at 2780 East Wagner Avenue, the site where The Cove Church currently stands.

Traffic Congestion: One of the primary concerns I would like to address during my time is the issue of traffic. The proposed project aims to accommodate up to 480 students, which will result in a substantial increase in traffic during drop- off and pick- up times. Currently, our neighborhood experiences 202 vehicle trips per day on an average weekday. However, the proposed project is estimated to increase traffic to 926 vehicle trips per day, a net increase of 724. This traffic will all be bottlenecked in the morning, with an estimated 465 more trips occurring in the AM hours. Residents trying to leave the neighborhood for work, families attempting to drop off their children at the charter school, and visitors to the Anaheim Coves walking trail will all be impacted and stuck in this gridlock, Monday through Friday.

Ingress and Egress of Residents: Specifically, the streets that will be most affected by the increased traffic are any residents near Marjin and Lizbeth. These streets have no back route for residents to use when leaving their homes; there is only one entry and exit point for all residents. This means that residents will have to contend with the increased traffic every day, both during the morning and afternoon hours.

Pedestrian Safety: This intersection of Rio Vista and Wagner is already dangerous.

The addition of a charter school to this area will only make the intersection more dangerous by putting pedestrians at risk. First, the sightlines are poor. Drivers do not have a clear view of pedestrians as they are approaching the bend, which makes it easy for them to miss someone crossing the street. Second, there is no marked crosswalk anywhere near the vicinity of the school. Below are two links to videos of accidents in front of and through the building site, but as a resident of the area I imagine you are familiar with these issues. Clip # 1 -accident in PM hours and Clip # 2-accident in AM hours
2 Issues with Circulation Plan: We recognize that the developers that work with Scholarship Prep have put forth plans for an on-site circulation map and will station staff outside with walkie- talkies to usher traffic, but there are serious concerns about the long- term viability of this plan. The Anaheim General Plan emphasizes the importance of developments operating harmoniously within their surroundings. However, we fear that the reality of asking for school staff to stand outside every morning to manage this increased traffic in the long term will prove unrealistic. We worry these traffic management measures will become too challenging for 1 or 2 staff to enforce and undoubtedly will be abandoned over time.

In light of this, I am urging you to please vote against this proposal. The location is not a safe place for a school.

Sincerely,
Megan Harbert

Dear Members of the Anaheim City Council,
As a product of public school education and proud AUHSD Board of Trustee, I stand in solidarity with my elementary school colleagues from AESD and public school advocates to ask you to accept the appeal of the Planning Commission' s decision, and deny a conditional use permit for a TK 8th grade charter school in the City of Anaheim.

Our public education system prides itself in providing quality education, ensuring our students graduate with 21st century skills, civic purpose initiatives, and robust opportunities to participate in dual language programs, dual enrollment programs, career technical education, and internship opportunities.

The City of Anaheim is also home to 17 Community Schools 15 in AUHSD and in 2 AESD) and growing. Our Community Schools Model is a commitment to serving our school' s community working together to address the needs of the whole child. A model supported by the Anaheim City Council in 2022.

Charter schools undermine the work of our public schools. They commonly act as businesses then spaces for education; and are not held accountable nor regulated by local government, but run freely by independent boards.

At a critical time in education, I ask you to support our students and public education, and deny the conditional use permit for a TK 8th grade charter school.

Thank you,
Jessica Guerrero
AUHSD Board of Trustees

Mr. Price
1 Development Application Number 2021-00218
Scholarship Prep Charter School
Fire Access Concern
• Direct Violation of CVC 22500
• It Prohibits stopping in a fire lane
Development Application Number 2021-00218
Scholarship Prep Charter School
I would like to address a safety concern regarding fire and rescue vehicles ability to access the school especially during drop and pick up.

When vehicles enter the single driveway of this site they will immediately drive behind buildings 2 and 3 on a 20 foot access road. The curbs behind these buildings will be painted red and clearly state no parking because this is a fire lane. The red curbs will continue to the access road going next to building 4.

Anaheim Fire states - No person shall STOP, park, or leave standing any vehicle, whether attended or UNATTENDED in a fire lane.

This makes the proposed queuing system for drop off and pick up a direct violation of the fire code.

The queuing system is designed to have cars stopped and running idle while waiting for their children to enter or exit the school.

At its peak there could be 31 vehicles stopped in the queue, while another 30 plus vehicles stopped and waiting to make a right turn out of the single driveway.

They have estimated that it will take 10 minutes from the moment your car enters the driveway to the moment your either drop off or pick up your child.

So... .that means every 10 minutes 31 cars can clear the queue. 20 minutes = 62 cars
40 minutes = 124 cars
60 minutes = 186 cars
Being conservative picking up 480 students even if 25% stay for after school care and a very large percent carpool....it will take over an hour to complete clear the idle cars from the fire lane.

Should an emergency occur during this time it would impossible to clear the fire lane and the driveway in time to give fire and rescue vehicles access.

If this project is approved you are knowingly putting over 400 students at risk.

The school is not trying to hide the fact that there will be cars stopped in fire lanes twice a day. It is part of the plan to offer "valet" style service.

Why is the city allowing this? If there is an emergency on site and there is any delay with getting emergency help, that is clearly a liability.

When it come to the safety of children it is shocking that the city isn't doing its due diligence.

For this safety reason I believe that the appeal should be granted and this proposed project should be rejected.

This site has one driveway!
• Families will be assigned color-coded cards (8.5 x 11) that must be placed on their dashboard (or windshield). The color-coded cards will designate the drop-off/pick-up period for each student in an effort to minimize queuing lines on campus. THE COLOR-CODED DESIGNATIONS WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED.
• All parents shall follow the traffic pattern illustrated below, see Queueing & Circulation Plan 7.1.1. All incoming traffic will enter the site's north driveway and proceed to the parking area to drop-off/pick-up students. All vehicles will traverse the parking lot and loop back to the north driveway to exit. • One lane will be used for drop-off and pick-up and the queuing will extend down the driveway. The driveway will also be used for van/bus drop-off and pick-up. • Approximately 31 cars can queue on the site. This number, at the height of drop off or pick up, will take approximately ten minutes from start to finish.
• All traffic entering the site shall conform to all traffic regulations. • Exiting U-turns will be allowed on-site via the onsite service vehicle turning area which loops around the parking lot in one direction to return to the two-way exiting driveway. • No students, staff, parents, or guests will be permitted to cross Wagner Avenue at any point, except at marked crosswalks (no jaywalking is permitted).
• The school will be responsible to make any changes, alterations, or modifications to school operations or student enrollment to prevent any queuing onto Wagner Avenue. Changes shall be coordinated with the City of Anaheim's Traffic Engineering Department.
• All traffic coming to the site should follow all traffic regulations and use major streets to approach the site from the west and north, without taking shortcuts through the residential neighborhoods. 8,1.1

CVC 22500.0

TOWING OF VEHICLES FROM FIRE LANES ON PRIVATE PROPERTY BY THE PROPERTY OWNER The owner of a private property containing a fire lane may have a vehicle towed from a fire lane. The owner of the property usually contracts with a private towing company in advance. The following are the requirements for a property owner to tow a vehicle from a fire lane on his/her property. • Signs must be in place and displayed in plain view at all entrances to the property before an owner may tow. o The sign must be a minimum of 17x22 inches in size, with lettering of at least one inch in height.
o Signs must clearly state that stopping in a fire lane is prohibited. o The sign must indicate that vehicles will be removed at the owner's expense.
o The sign must contain the telephone number of the local traffic law enforcement agency. The sign may also indicate that a citation may also be issued for the violation. (Figure 2) • The California Vehicle Code requires the owner of the property to first notify the local traffic law enforcement agency before towing. See the Anaheim Police Department phone number on the example shown above. • Fire lanes shall be marked according to California Vehicle Code as outlined above.
• Owners of private property may post NO PARKING signs for various reasons other than a fire lane and have vehicles removed.

Warning: ThisemailoriginatedfromoutsidetheCityofAnaheim. Donotclicklinksoropenattachmentsunlessyou recognizethesenderandareexpectingthemessage.

Every person sitting in front of me has stated that they are for transparency. Some of you have also stated that you want to restore the trust the people have in the city. You all can't seem to agree with what exactly to do but that is the one common theme the residents here lately.

We have lobbyist's rules already in place. Whether they are strong enough or need to be changed is a decision for another time.

Scholarship Prep or Red Hook who is the one financing this development have used the services of a lobbyist for over a year. She has scheduled and attended meetings on their behalf... .some of which you or your planning commissioners may have attended.

Attachment #6 to this resolution clearly shows that on:

May 26th, 2022 the first "community meeting "was held... .Scholarship Prep Staff, Red Hook, and the lobbyist all attended to welcome and get residents "acquainted" with the development. The submitted community outreach log clearly shows the lobbyists attended and states the name of the lobbyists group.

June 2022 - homeowners to the west of the property made a "connection" with Scholarship Prep and were referred to this same lobbyist as their "contact" for questions.

In a letter dated July 12th, 2022 from Red Hook to the homeowners it clearly states to contact this lobbyist if they have further questions.

December 2022 - The lobbyist arranged a meeting for these homeowners with Marissa from Scholarship Prep.. .to help successfully resolve their issues with parking and traffic.

Oct. 22nd, 2022 Cecilia Flores hosted a community meeting at her home to discuss concerns with other homeowners. She posted signs and passed out flyers a real "grass roots" effort. She was surprised that this same lobbyist showed up as she was only expected people from her neighborhood. Cecilia and other neighbors had NO CLUE that is person was a lobbyist working for Red Hook. In fact she shared a business card with Cecilia showing that she was a board member of nonprofit. After feeling like her meeting was being taken over, Cecilia asked this person to leave.

Throughout the month on May 2023 - this lobbyist has requested letters supporting this project and has submitted them to city in preparation for the Planning Commission.

She has done her very best to squash the concerns of local homeowners even if she has had to hint that "this" project is better than low income housing. She appears to be very good at her job.

We all know that lobbying is perfectly legal in the city and is often used by developers to push their projects along.

The City even has a handy lobbyist guide.

It states clearly that all lobbyists must register with 15 days of performing services equivalent to $500... whether they have received money or not.

It also clearly states under "Criminal Penalties"
Any person that knowingly or intentionally:
• acts as a Lobbyist in the City without having registered 'fails to file the quarterly report
• conceals or diverts compensation for Lobbying activity in order to avoid the requirements shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to a maximum of six (6) months in jail and a fine of $1000
The issue I take is... .that this lobbyist was NOT registered with the city until July 7th of this year. She has never filed a quarterly report even though she has clearly be lobbying for this project for over a year. The community outreach log clearly backs this up.

You have all talked the talk. Now I am asking you... .Is this the "New Anaheim" where rules and laws actually matter? Or is this the "Old Anaheim" where developers and lobbyists break the rules and control the city?
I'm asking you to uphold the rules and say to this developer... THIS IS NOT HOW BUSINESS IS DONE ANAHEIM ....for this reason the CUP should be denied.

This project does not belong at this site!
I am not saying that Scholarship Prep isn't a great school... .I'm just saying logically a single driveway to service over 400 students just does NOT work. The ones who will ultimately pay the price are the nearby homeowners, who will have their quality of life forever changed.

Thank you for your time.

From: Susan and Dennis Sorenson
Subject: Scholarship Prep Charter School+Project#DEV2021-00218+Cove Church Site As the youth of today are our future, we believe a free school choice results in an enormous long term positive impact for parents, children, our neighborhood (good schools increase property value), and the local community (the school goal is for 90% of the students to be Anaheim residents).

As 22 year residents on Cardiff St, directly West of the church property, we were however very concerned about potentially dangerous traffic congestion during pick up and drop off; where the school entry is at the juncture of Wagner and Rio Vista, as well as Wagner/(j.

Since listening, communication and follow up are at the heart of all successful relationships, we would like to share our experience with Scholarship Prep after we made a connection in June 2022. I was referred to Jill Wallace as my contact for questions, After listening intently to both our concerns and suggestions, we learned the school has complied with all the studies and reports required by the city, that the contracted traffic engineer report was in review by the city and the satellite police office would remain on site. In particular noise levels at the residential area will comply with Anaheim code and landscaping will screen the backyards of homes bordering the school property. We were sent copies of demo and improvement plans. Jill consistently emphasized that being a good neighbor was a priority for the school and offered to meet or speak with anyone in the neighborhood who had questions. We were given and took the opportunity to provide feedback on the informational flyer being developed to distribute to the neighborhood.

In December Jill, arranged a meeting for us with Marissa Qmintatar, from Scholarship Prep. She described in detail the high level of involvement and communication with parents regarding protocols and the circulation plan that quelled our traffic concerns, including:

Mandatory parent training on pickup and drop off procedure Staggered drop off and pickup times
Right turn only when exiting the school property
No parent pickup or drop off allowed on Wagner or Rio Vista 6-10 staff members assisting with students and traffic flow Additional staff to monitor the Marian and Wagner intersection, to actively enforce the no U-turn and no parking rule in the neighborhood
Teachers and administrators communicating by walkie talkie to ensure efficient and safe arrival and departure
Parents must sign up children to specifically arrive by car, walk in, or Scholarship Prep shuttle
We attended two community meetings hosted by the church and Scholarship Prep(February 21& 26), with a detailed written (English and Spanish) as well as visual presentation (Spanish translation offered), followed by questions. Key school personnel and consultants made the presentations and willingly responded to the tough questions, while emphasizing the commitment to being a good neighbor. Future thoughts and questions were encouraged and contact information was supplied.

In summary we feel strongly Scholarship Prep should be approved by the Planning Commission. The property is already zoned for school use, they bring a valuable educational resource to Anaheim (the Santa Ana charter was named a California distinguished school in 2020), and they have demonstrated their commitment to being a good neighbor by diligent listening, communication, and follow up on community concerns. We believe the schools detailed protocols, no right turn exiting the property, plus no left turn into the property and no U turn at Marian provide reasonable mitigation for the congestion/safety issues.

Hello Ms. Wallace,
My husband (Oscar, Sr) and I wholeheartedly support the sale of The Cove Church.

As residents of Anaheim, we support this transition for the following reasons:
- we love that this will be used for educational purposes and will give local parents another choice for their children
- this can be viewed as an economic improvement for Anaheim - and is in line with the freedom for the church to be able to sell this real estate.

As parents of two grown adult sons now, we invested in private education from K-12 and were blessed to have choices at the time being.

Please let us know if we can further assist in this matter.

Sincerely,
m. Oscar & Lupe Silva

I've been a local Anaheim resident for 68 years and I wholeheartedly support the sale of the COVE church so a TK-8 school can be established. I strongly believe in school choice since our public schools have failed our students. Since the church buildings really need to be painted, I look forward to seeing the new owners making the property more attractive. Thank you for taking my comments into consideration.

There’ s a major issue in district 3. I reach to mayor pro tem who is the rep council member in that district 3. On my street on lemon st and north st there’ s a homeless man that sits on the liquor store on the corner. I reach to Anaheim police department. They don’ t do a thing about it it’s an eye sore. We don’ t need to have kids to see that. I will need answers tonight.
