WithDisneylandForward, Disneyisproposingto buildonly on land alreadyowned or controlled by Disney. Disneyisnot asking for taxpayersubsidiesor askingto add any additional theme park squarefootage or hotel roomsbeyond what the Cityalreadyhas approved.

Subject:\[ EXTERNAL\] Increase PARKINGFINES
Youdon' toften Learnwhy thisisimportant
Warning: This email originated from outside the City ofAnaheim. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and are expecting the message.

Parking fines are way tooliberal inAnaheim. Itismy understanding that aparking infraction isamere $ 49. Iurge the Anaheim CityCouncil toincrease theparking infraction cost toatleast $ 100, and, ifparked inanemergency zone, $ 500 per infraction with aTow onthe second offense. The City ofAnaheim has been way too lenient onhabitual criminals, and itisnow time tonot only INCREASEFines, but hold these individuals accountable with jailtime.

WE ARE TIRED OFAPARTMENT DWELLERS, from both West Anaheim and Buena Park, namely between Fremont and Knott onW Ball Rd, parking not only inRed Emergency Vehicle Parking lanes, but inour tract infront ofour homes.

Oftentimes, these apartment dwellers park infront ofthe ADA ramps along SFremont, and the off- hoot streets such as Stadco, Bouquet.

Itneeds toSTOP, and we need parking enforcement like yesterday! 1 SusanaBarrios

Honorable Mayor Aitken and City Councilmembers:

I’m writing to express my support for DisneylandForward and to encourage Anaheim’ sCity Council to certify the Draft Subsequent Environmental Impact Report ( DSEIR) and approve the
DisneylandForward Project.

DisneylandForward will pave the way for Disney to meaningfully invest for decades, and to create thousands of jobs for local residents and infuse the City’ sgeneral fund with millions in additional tax revenue every year. With DisneylandForward, Disney isproposing to build only on land already owned or controlled by Disney. Disney is not asking for taxpayer subsidies orasking to add any additional theme park 1 square footage or hotel rooms beyond what the City already has approved. Based on my review, Disney isjust asking to spread the previously approved square footage and hotel rooms around Disney properties in a way that makes sense for today’ smarket demand.

The Draft SEIR reviews the key components under the California Environmental Quality Act ( CEQA), including traffic, noise, aesthetics lighting), air quality and cumulative impacts among others. After an exhaustive study by third- party independent experts, it isclear that after many years of planning, review and analysis, itistime to certify the EIR and approve the DisneylandForward Project.
