RE: Item 9 – Development Application: General Plan Amendment, Land Use Update, and Housing- Related Code Updates
Dear Mayor Aitken and Honorable Members of the City Council, The Kennedy Commission ( the Commission) is a broad-based coalition of residents and community organizations advocating for the production of homes affordable for families earning less than $30,000 annually in Orange County. Since 2001, we have successfully partnered with jurisdictions across the county to create housing and land- use policies that increase affordable housing opportunities for lower- income working families.

We’re writing to encourage the city council to pass these essential zoning code and Housing Element amendments. These changes go beyond Anaheim’s compliance with state housing law to reflect a commitment to reaching RHNA targets and ensuring a steady supply of affordable housing of all types for city residents, and expand housing opportunities for lower- income working families.

By providing by-right approval for projects on Housing Element sites, the City will reduce unnecessary delays that often inhibit affordable housing production. Establishing minimum density requirements will ensure that land identified to meet lower- income RHNA targets is developed at levels consistent with Anaheim’s adopted Housing Element. Additionally, residential performance standards for non-residential zones will encourage mixed- use developments that incorporate affordable homes near employment, services, and transit, enabling smart growth where it is needed most.

We encourage the City to ensure robust implementation and monitoring measures in affordable housing development and we commend the effort to cross-reference Housing Element sites from the previous cycle to ensure these project sites are realized to their potential. Prioritizing affordable units and ensuring the enforceability of policies is essential for the city to deliver lasting benefits to its most vulnerable residents. These amendments drive meaningful change in how housing is developed and will continue to shape Anaheim’s affordable housing policies.

The Kennedy Commission looks forward to working with the City in its affordable housing implementation efforts going forward. Prioritizing affordable housing in the City’s implementation framework will help guarantee that Anaheim meets Housing Element requirements and delivers lasting benefits for the families who need housing the most. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (949) 250-0909 or cesarc@kennedycommission. org.

Sincerely,
Cesar Covarrubias
Executive Director

RE: Item 12 – Workforce Housing and Programs for ATID Area Modifications Honorable Mayor Aitken and Members of the City Council, The Kennedy Commission ( the Commission) is a broad- based coalition of residents and community organizations advocating for the production of homesaffordable for families earning lessthan 30,000 annually in Orange County. Since 2001, we have successfully partnered with jurisdictions acrossthe county to createhousing and land-usepolicies that increaseaffordable housing opportunities for lower- income working families.

We are writing to provide comments for the City of Anaheim’s proposedmodifications to the Anaheim Tourism Improvement District ( ATID) as it expands the boundary; revises and adds housing-related programs and improvements; and reallocatesfunding for housing-related programs.

Allocating 9% of the ATID budget toward housing and stability programs for low- income and moderate-income householdsemployed in hospitality within the district is a critical step forward to addressing local housing needs. The Commission supports that, at a minimum, the allocation of at least 9% of revenuegeneratedfrom the ATID should support proposedWorkforce Housing programs and housing development that is affordable to the low- income workforce in Anaheim.

Anaheim hasan urgent needto increasehousing opportunities for its low- and very low- income workforce as over half of Anaheim residentsare consideredlower income due to low salaries, high cost of living, and lack of affordable housing. The high costsof living and low wagesresult in 60% of Anaheim’s rentersfacing a high rent burden. High housing costsand the lack of affordable housing result in overcrowding, with 79% of Anaheim’s rentersliving with more than one person per room asrenterstry to managehousing cost burdens.

The majority of employeeswithin the ATID are employed in the service industry, which do not offer high enoughsalariesto enablethosewho work in Anaheim to live in Anaheim. The Resort District is the economic engine of the city and the tourism industry is upheld by thoseservice sector jobs who keep the resortsin Anaheim thriving. As such, the city must ensureemployeeshave access to affordable housing in Anaheim, by prioritizing the development of new housing for low- and very low- income affordable units. Developing affordable workforce housing will help Anaheim be more competitive in leveraging state and federal resources for future housing grants and strengthenedeconomic development.

The proposed programs for First- Time Homeowners, Housing Stability, and the Build More Homes Initiative prove to be a critical step forward in addressingthe housing needsof Anaheim’s workforce. This commitment ensures that the people who uphold Anaheim’ s tourism economy have accessto secureand affordable homesin the city that they work in, helping them to thrive in their 1 community. Additionally, expanding the area’s boundaries to include short- term rentals and other forms of temporary lodging should be done in a way which helps prevent displacement, with the added revenue supporting greater development of affordable housing.

This vision will reinforce all who work in Anaheim deservethe ability to live in Anaheim. These initiatives reflect meaningful progress toward housing solutions that reduce displacement risk for lower-income householdsand directly benefit Anaheim’s tourism industry workforce. By investing in both immediate stability and long- term housing opportunities, the City demonstrates leadership in aligning economic development with housing opportunities for Anaheim’s low- income workforce.

The Kennedy Commission commends the City of Anaheim for prioritizing affordable housing in the ATID areaand urgesthe Council to continue advancing policies that protect, preserve, and expand housing opportunities for the city’s lowest- income workers.

We look forward to working with the City of Anaheim to advancehousing security and affordability for all. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (949) 250- 0909 or [email protected].

Dear City Clerk,
Please distribute the message below to the Mayor and City Council and include it in the public record for tonight’ s meeting.

Good evening Mayor Aitken and Councilmembers,
My name is Marisol Ramirez, Interim Co- Executive Director at Orange County Communities Organized for Responsi ble Development ( OCCORD). I’m writing to express OCCORD’ s support for Agenda Item 12. We beli eve this item advances housing stability and economic equity for Anaheim’ s working families and aligns with our mi ssi on to ensure development benefits residents as well as the local economy.

We look forward to collaborating with the City to implement this policy effectively and equitably for the workers and neighborhoods we serve.

Thank you for your assistance.

Warmly,
Marisol Ramirez

Members of the Anaheim City Council
200 S. Anaheim Blvd.

Anaheim, CA 92805
RE: Item 12 – Workforce Housing and Programs for ATID Area Modifications Honorable Mayor Aitken and Members of the City Council, On behalf of Orange County Communities Organized for Responsible Development ( OCCORD), I write to express our support for the City of Anaheim’ s proposed modifications to the Anaheim Tourism Improvement District ( ATID) while also raising important considerations as this policy moves forward. OCCORD is a community- based nonprofit committed to advancing economic, housing, and civic justice for working families in Anaheim and across Orange County.

We commend the City’s recognition that the workers who uphold Anaheim’ s tourism and hospitality economy must also be able to access stable, affordable housing. The allocation of nine percent ( 9%) of ATID revenues to a new “ATID Area Worker Housing Program” within the Anaheim Local Housing Trust Fund is an important step forward. We are encouraged to see programs for First- Time Homeowners, Housing Stability, and the Build More Homes Initiative included in the proposal - these initiatives can provide both immediate relief and long- term solutions for working families at risk of displacement.

At the same time, we urge the Council to address several concerns at tonight’ s meeting:

1. Governance and Representation
The staff report establishes a five- member Housing Committee composed primarily of hotel operators and the largest ATID contributor, with only one appointee designated by the City Manager. As an organization that works closely with Anaheim’ s low- wage workforce and communities most impacted by housing insecurity, we believe it is critical that workers and community representatives also have a seat at this table. The decision- making body for such an important program must reflect the voices of those it is intended to serve, not just those of industry stakeholders.

2. Depth of Affordability
While we support downpayment assistance for households up to 150% of AMI, we emphasize that Anaheim’ s most acute housing needs are among families earning far below that threshold— particularly those making less than $ 30, 000 per year. The Build More Homes Initiative should prioritize deeply affordable rental housing to meet the realities faced by the majority of Anaheim’ s tourism workforce.

3. Preventing Displacement
The expansion of ATID boundaries to include The Viv Hotel and future hotel developments along South Anaheim Boulevard, as well as the addition of vacation ownership/ timeshare units, will generate significant new revenue. However, these changes also increase development pressures in neighborhoods already vulnerable to displacement. We urge the City to ensure that new revenues are tied directly to protections for existing residents, and that short- term lodging expansions do not come at the expense of long- term housing stability.

4. Transparency and Accountability
As the City implements these housing programs, clear reporting and accountability measures must be built in to track how funds are spent, how many workers and families are reached, and how outcomes address Anaheim’ s housing equity goals. These safeguards will ensure that the ATID housing programs fulfill their promise to the community.

OCCORD supports the City’s leadership in aligning economic development with housing justice, and we believe the proposed modifications can be strengthened by embedding worker and community representation, prioritizing affordability for the lowest- income families, and implementing strong accountability measures. We look forward to collaborating with the City of Anaheim to ensure that these programs deliver meaningful housing stability and opportunity for those who make Anaheim’ s economy thrive.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at ( mramirez@occord. org.

200 S. Anaheim Blvd.

Since 1977, we have equipped parents, youth, and community members to foster belonging and advocate for policies that advance dignity, equity, and justice across Orange County. Our work bridges diverse voices and empowers residents to shape the decisions that impact their lives.

OCCCO’ s vision is to create housing that fosters belonging. This means developing housing and programs that support both affordability and empower individuals and communities by amplifying their voices and agency.

In light of this vision, we are writing to provide comments for the City of Anaheim’ s proposed modifications to the Anaheim Tourism Improvement District ( ATID) as it expands the boundary; revises and adds housing- related programs and improvements; and reallocates funding for housing- related programs. Allocating 9% of the ATID budget toward housing and stability programs for low- income and moderate- income households employed in hospitality within the district is a critical step forward to addressing local housing needs. The Commission supports that, at a minimum, the allocation of at least 9% of revenue generated from the ATID should support proposed Workforce Housing programs and housing development that is affordable to the low- income workforce in Anaheim, many of whom raise families and call Anaheim their home.

Anaheim has an urgent need to increase housing opportunities for its low- and very low- income workforce and families as over half of Anaheim residents are considered lower income due to low salaries, high cost of living, and lack of affordable housing. The high costs of living and low wages result in 60% of Anaheim’ s renters facing a high rent burden.

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

Dear Council Members,
I wanted to voice my disapproval of the Disneyland gate tax and possible OC vibe tax proposed by council member Natalie Rubaclava. It is very irresponsible and disingenuous of Natalie Rubaclava to propose even more taxes instead of looking at how we can cut wasteful spending in the budget. For example, the amount of money we spend per police officer is far more than most cities of our size. Why is that? Increasing taxes is often the most popular option that politicians resort to because balancing the budget often looks worse in the public eye. If she is so concerned about placing less burden on the backs of Anaheim residents she should make proposals on how to better spend taxpayer money instead of looking to find more tax money elsewhere. This provides a better solution to our overall budget situation instead of enabling more wasteful spending in Anaheim. As a city, Anaheim has to be cognizant of which tax dollars are being spent wisely or wastefully. Resorting to more taxes as the first option is not only harmful but irresponsible.

Dear Neighbor,
I believe that everyone in this country– regardless of their race, ethnicity, or accent– is entitled to due process and fair treatment under the law. This week, the U. S. Supreme Court overturned a federal judge’ s order that prevented federal agents in Los Angeles from st opping and questioning people on their immigration status, solely based on factors including their et hnicity. Under this new Supreme Court guidance, the Administration may target individuals based on t heir “ apparent race or ethnicity” when conducting immigration activity. As we consider this topic in Congress, I w ant to hear from you.

I WANT YOUR OPINION:

Should Congress push back against racial profiling in
immigration?
Yes
No
Taking th is survey will sign you up for fu ture news a nd u pdates from our o ffice.

As I continue to stand up for my immigrant neighbors, I will keep your thoughts in mind. My job is to bring your voice to Washington, and I want to continue hearing from you as Congress considers taking action.

Sincerely,
Rep. Lou Correa

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.

Dear Neighbor,
This week was a solemn week in Washington and across the nation. Political violence took another needless victim and children were once again put in danger at their schools. I also stood up for our immigrant servicemembers, whose commitment to protecting our nation is not always rewarded with a clear- cut path to citizenship. I rounded off the week back home, and w as proud to honor the heroism of Veteran Dr. William Kott III. As I bring your stories to the halls of Congress, I w anted to take a moment to show you what I’ve been working on.

CO NDEMNING VIOLE NCE
This week marked a tragic chapter in our nation’ s history. I was saddened by the shooting of Charlie Kirk Utah. The foundation of this great nation is built on the freedom of expression— and horrific acts like this hurts our democracy and tears families apart. This kind of polit ical violence must be condemned in the strongest of terms. I’m praying for his family and everyone impacted by this horrific act of violence. I’m also praying for the Evergreen High School communit y, w here new s of a school shooting broke mere minutes after Charlie Kirk’ s assassination. I also commemorated the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks that took the lives of nearly 3, 000 Americans. Let us never forget, and always be vigilant in our work to keep our homeland safe and protect American lives— at home, and abroad.

Political violence and violence against children can never be tolerated.

ST ANDING UP FO R IMMIGRANT SE RVICE M E MB E RS
Congress also voted on this year’ s National Defense bill ( NDAA). While t he NDAA passed, it contained many flaws, which is why I voted against it. Primarily, my amendments to improve paths to citizenship and prevent deportation for active duty servicemembers and their families were not included in the bill.

I also introduced an amendment that would create federal and state grants for law enforcement to purchase and operate drones. This amendment was also not included in t he bill. Common sense policies that help our military are critical and I’ll keep standing up for our immigrant servicemembers who put their lives on the line to defend our country.

Congressman Correa voted against the NDAA
HONORING WWII VE TERAN DR. WILLIAM KOT T
This week, in Anaheim, I also dedicated the Anaheim Federal Post Office to WWII veteran Dr. William Kott III. Dr. Kott is the perfect example of our nation’ s greatest generation. He answ ered the call to serve his country in WWII, fought in the Battle of the Bulge, and liberated the Buchenwald Nazi concentration camp. I’m proud that his heroic legacy will be permanently honored in Anaheim.

CO NNE CT ING OUR Y O UT H TO CARE E RS IN SE R VICE
Congressman hosted our 2025 Service Academy Info Night. We were joined by USAF, USMM, USMA Westpoint), USNA who presented on their academies and answered st udent questions.

The selection process to join one of these Academies may be rigorous, but my office is here to help. This is a great opportunity for st udent s seeking to create a career in the armed forces— but the deadline to apply for a Congressional nomination is November 5th.

Subject:[ EXTERNAL] Should Congress make housing more affordable? 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.

Dear Neighbor,
Home ownership is a key to achieving the American Dream. Owning a home allows Americans to have a place to live, build equity, and lay down roots in their communities. Today, far too many Americans– especially young people– are unable to buy a home.

That’ s why I co- introduced the Saving the American Dream Act to direct the w hole government approach to give Congress the data it needs to tackle all angles of the home ow nership crisis head- on. An issue as critical as home ownership deserves an all- hands- on- deck approach. As we consider this topic in Congress, I want to hear from you.

I WANT YOUR OPINION:

Should Congress make housing more affordable?
Yes
No
Taking th is survey will sign you up for fu ture news a nd u pdates from our o ffice.

I will keep your thoughts in mind. My job is to bring your voice to Washingt on, and I want to continue hearing from you as Congress considers taking action.

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

Voice of OC, September 16, 2025
What’ s Going On With the Cat Colonies at Cypress College? https:// voic eofoc . org/ 2025/ 09/ w hats- going- on- w ith- the- c at- c olonies- at- c ypress- college/ Excerpts ( f rom the last section of the article):

Still No Catch & Release Program for Orange County’ s Cats These programs — known as trap, neuter and return ( TNR) — release unowned cats back where they were f ound af ter a spay or neuter to prev ent the community cats f rom hav ing more litters.

While it’ s commonly of f ered across the state and nation, Orange County’ s animal shelter continues to ref use to of f er this k ind of serv ice.

Activists hav e spent years calling f or the shelter to reinstate TNR in order to help reduce the increasing number of k ittens and f eral cats on the streets.

A recent San Diego Superior Court ruling f ound the San Diego Humane Society’ s catch and release program is legal as long as it remains only f or community cats with no signs of ownership — since releasing lost or abandoned pets is still considered animal abandonment.

OC Animal Care also does not accept healthy stray cats into the shelter and directs people who hav e trapped a healthy stray cat to return it where it was f ound.

To the Voice of OC article, I personally want to add this:

This shows exactly w hat happens w ithout TNR: You get c onflic t. In one corner, the people who are troubled by c at c olonies and w ant them to “ go aw ay”. In the other c orner, people who don’ t w ant c ats to suffer and w ant to continue to give them food and w ater. TNR is the solution c ompatible w ith both c oncerns and the humane treatment of the cats. TNR stops the proliferation of cats in a humane w ay. No c at is killed, but the population goes dow n over time.

OC has the audacity to use “ abandonment" as the exc use, w hen what it’ s doing is abandonment by proxy: By telling people to put c ats bac k w here they found them, OCAC is contributing exac tly to the problem we see in Cypress College.

Are you going to continue tolerating the inhumane conditions of cats in your city? Or are you going to ask OCAC to do its job? Why should you renew the contract ( which runs out next year), if OCAC is failing? Date: 9/ 19/ 2025 6: 46: 50 PM

Increasing numbers of parents grapple with children who are acting out without obvious reason. Revved up and irritable, many of these children are diagnosed with ADHD, bipolar illness, autism, or other disorders but don’ t respond well to treatment. They are then medicated, often with poor results and unwanted side effects. Based on emerging scientific research and extensive clinical experience, integrative child psychiatrist Dr. Victoria Dunckley has pioneered a four- week program to treat the frequent underlying cause, Electronic Screen Syndrome ( ESS).

Dr. Dunckley has found that everyday use of interactive screen devices — such as computers, video games, smartphones, and tablets — can easily overstimulate a child’ s nervous system, triggering a variety of stubborn symptoms. In contrast, she’s discovered that a strict, extended electronic fast single- handedly improves mood, focus, sleep, and behavior, regardless of the child’ s diagnosis. It also reduces the need for medication and renders other treatments more effective.

Offered now in this book, this simple intervention can produce a life- changing shift in brain function and help your child get back on track — all without cost or medication. While no one in today’ s connected world can completely shun electronic stimuli, Dr. Dunckley provides hope for parents who feel that their child has been misdiagnosed or inappropriately medicated, by presenting an alternative explanation for their child’ s difficulties and a concrete plan for treating them.

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.

Dear Neighbor,
This week I was hard at work in Washington standing up to keep us all safe. From standing up to protect safety on Main Street to pushing to protect the first amendment , I am working to end violence in our streets. As I bring your stories to the halls of Congress, I wanted t o t ake a moment to show you what I’ve been working on.

ST ANDING TO PROT E CT MAIN ST R E E T
This week I pressed FBI Director Kash Patel on how budget cuts to the FBI will affect people’ s safety back home. The budget bill includes increased funding to protect Congress, t he Supreme Court, and the Administration, yet slashes funding for the FBI who are working to keep Main Street safe. With 1, 300 fewer agents on the ground, law enforcement is being asked to do more with less. This is unacceptable. Neighborhoods must be protected from domestic terrorism and other serious threats to our safety.

Con gressman Correa raised alarms about how FBI budget cuts will affect people on Main Street. Click HERE to see his full remarks

DEFE NDING THE FIRST AMENDMENT
The foundation of our nation’ s democracy is freedom of speech, enshrined in t he first amendment to our constitution. Recently, we’ ve seen an increase in political violence on both sides of the aisle, first with lawmakers in Minnesota, and now Charlie Kirk. Political assassinations and other acts of violence, hurt our freedom of speech, our democracy and our Nation. While I may not agree w ith Charike Kirk’ s views, freedom of speech must be protected. It is the hallmark of American Democracy.

And, that’ s why I also strongly disagree with the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel, and firing Stephen Colbert, for merely expressing their first amendment rights. We must reject all forms of violence, encourage dialogue, and push for respectful political discourse. We can disagree on our view s and our message, but it should never lead to political violence or political assassination.

EMPOWE RING T HE NEXT GENERAT ION OF LAT INO LE ADE RS
I also attended the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute’ s leadership conference, where I spoke about the future of Latino leadership in this country. I was honored to be surrounded by changemakers from all around the county. Hispanic Americans have always been a part of our nation’ s great history and our contributions will never be silenced. We are taxpayers, voters, servicemembers, and citizens. Now is our moment to stand together and fight for the future that generations of our ancestors worked to secure for us.

I also packed toiletry kits to be sent to our servicemembers who are currently deployed. Every day, our soldiers perform the ultimate act of patriotism. Making sure our servicemembers have the supplies they need is the least we can do to thank them for their service.

EXTERNAL] Protect Anaheim Residents with a Removal Defense Fund and Streamline Administrative Barriers to Increase Service Access

Dear
Anaheim City Council Members,
My name
is Kelsey and I am a member of the Orange County Rapid Response Network and an Anaheim resident. It is urgent that the Mayor and Anaheim City Council Members act to protect Anaheim residents both in and outside of im migration detention.

I commend the City of Anaheim for initial steps towards this by starting the Anaheim Contigo fund. However, c ommunity members report significant administrative barriers, leaving many unable to access funding. W ith many people dis appeared out of our c ommunity by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement and related agencies, community members urgently need access to these funds to stabilize their economic well- being. The Mayor and Council Members must move to streamline administrative barriers to the Anaheim Contigo fund to increase access to vital services for our communities.

The Mayor
and Council Members must also move to partner with non- profit legal service providers to provide
removal defense legal services for Anaheim residents
impacted by the callous immigration raids running rampant across the county. People detained by these agencies face abuse and inhumane
conditions– with
Black
migrants nearly twice as likely to experience abuse
while in immigration detention compared to non- Black migrants– often without any legal repres entation. Mos t recently, one Orange County community member died while in custody.

Increasing
access to the Contingo fund and providing removal defense legal services would send a powerful message that the City of Anaheim is committed to prioritizing the safety of its residents. Thank you for your consideration.
