East Anaheim and Anaheim Hills
These concerns are magnified in East Anaheim, where geography, wildfire risk, and limited evacuation routes create unique public safety challenges. Residents are particularly concerned that projects are evaluated individually while the real-world impacts are cumulative. The proposed Deer Canyon development, the approved 447- unit Festival Center apartment project, future Housing Element sites, accessory dwelling units, and other anticipated development all add residents, vehicles, and evacuation demand to the same constrained transportation network. Yet each project is typically analyzed as a standalone proposal. Residents do not experience these projects individually. They experience them collectively. The critical question is not whether one project can be accommodated in isolation. The question is whether the entire Santa Ana Canyon corridor can safely accommodate the cumulative population growth that results from all approved, proposed, and anticipated projects combined. This concern is particularly important in areas affected by wildfire hazards. During a major wildfire event, residents may have only a limited number of evacuation routes available. Existing congestion already affects Santa Ana Canyon Road and surrounding corridors during ordinary daily conditions. Residents have legitimate concerns regarding what evacuation conditions would look like after full buildout of multiple high density I residential projects.
Prohousing and Local Control
Many residents view Prohousing designation as a signal that the City intends to further reduce barriers to development through measures such as reduced parking requirements, increased density allowances, streamlined approvals, and diminished opportunities for community input. While these policies may be promoted as tools to increase housing production, they can also weaken the City's ability to address neighborhood-specific concerns and respond to infrastructure limitations. Residents deserve assurance that Anaheim's planning decisions will continue to prioritize public safety, infrastructure capacity, traffic management, and neighborhood livability-not a prohousing designation , short-sighted and motivated by grant monies.
REQUEST: Before pursuing Prohousing designation or adopting additional policies intended to accelerate residential development, we respectfully request that the City:
• Conduct a comprehensive cumulative impact analysis of approved, pending, and anticipated residential projects.
• Evaluate cumulative traffic and evacuation impacts throughout East Anaheim and Anaheim Hills.
• Demonstrate consistency with Anaheim's adopted Safety Element and wildfire planning policies. • Assess the citywide impacts of reduced parking requirements on existing neighborhoods.
• Provide residents with meaningful opportunities to participate in decisions that will permanently serve Anaheim's future.
Anaheim's responsibility is not merely to approve housing. It is to balance housing with public safety, infrastructure capacity, mobility, environmental constraints, and the quality of life of existing residents.
We urge the City to reject any Prohousing policies that prioritize development incentives over these equally important responsibilities. "The issue before us is not whether Anaheim should build housing. The issue is whether Anaheim should continue increasing density without first proving that our roads, parking supply, infrastructure, and evacuation systems can safely support the cumulative growth that has already been approved."

related public safety challenges in ways that best serve the community. The City should not commit itself to a policy framework that could restrict future options regarding shelter placement, supportive services, enforcement strategies, neighborhood protection, or other locally determined solutions.
Anaheim can and should support responsible housing development. However, responsible growth requires balance, accountability, and local oversight. Housing production should not come at the expense of public safety, infrastructure capacity, neighborhood quality of life, or the City's ability to make decisions that reflect the unique needs of its residents.
For these reasons, I respectfully request that you and the city council oppose the Pro-housing Designation application and preserve Anaheim's authority to make housing decisions locally. The City must retain the flexibility to pursue housing solutions that are responsible, sustainable, and accountable to the people who live, work, and invest in Anaheim. Thank you.

Mayor and Members of the Anaheim City Council,
I respectfully ask the City to explain why it would pursue California’s Prohousing Designation when significant concerns about traffic, parking, infrastructure, and evacuation safety remain unresolved.
This is not a question of whether Anaheim should build housing. It is a question of why the City would encourage even greater density before demonstrating that our roads, infrastructure, and emergency evacuation systems can safely support the growth already approved.
The City has already prepared studies, but independent CEQA counsel identified serious deficiencies in the City’s own analyses, including inconsistencies with Anaheim’s adopted evacuation plans and failures to adequately account for cumulative impacts.
Even more concerning, the City Council, City staff, and the Fire Chief previously concluded that additional density on these same roadways would increase evacuation risks and threaten public safety.
East Anaheim and Anaheim Hills are located in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, where evacuation is a matter of life and death. Residents have already experienced the realities of wildfire and gridlock. Seeking Prohousing Designation and state funding to encourage even greater density while these unresolved safety risks remain is irresponsible. Public safety must come before development incentives.
Anaheim should not be seeking state incentives to encourage additional density when it has yet to demonstrate that the growth already approved can be safely accommodated.

Mayor and members of the Anaheim city Council,
I am writing to express serious concerns regarding any effort by the city of Anaheim to pursue California’s Pro, housing, designation, and policies that typically accompany such a designation.While Anaheim has long supported housing development, and continues to approve significant residential projects throughout the city, many residents question why the city would further commit itself to a framework that prioritizes housing production above other critical community considerations such as traffic, parking infrastructure, public safety, and quality of life.
If the city is meeting or exceeding, it’s housing obligations residence deserve a clear explanation of why additional Pro housing commitments are necessary, and what public benefits justify the potential loss of local planning flexibility.
Residence are experiencing the consequences of policies that encourage higher density while reducing traditional development standards. One of the most visible impacts is parking. State and local policies increasingly support reductions in parking requirements based on assumptions about traffic use and changing transportation habits the reality experienced by residence is very different. Families continue to own vehicles, visitors require parking and many neighborhoods already face significant parking shortages overflow parking spills into surrounding residential streets, creating frustration and conflict among neighbors. Traffic congestion has similarly worsened throughout Anaheim. Residents routinely encounter longer travel times increased cut through traffic and growing strain on roadways that were not designed to accommodate continued population growth without corresponding infrastructure improvements. These concerns are magnified in East Anaheim, where geography, wildfire risk and limited evacuation routes create unique, public safety challenges. Residence are particularly concerned that projects are evaluated individually while the real world impacts are cumulative.
The proposed deer Canyon development the approved for 477-unit festival center apartment project, future housing element site, accessory dwelling units and other anticipated development all add Residents vehicles and evacuation demand to the same constrained transportation network yet each project is typically analyzed as a standalone proposal. resi residence do not experience these projects individually. They experienced them collectively.
The critical question is not whether one project can be accommodated in isolation. The question is whether the entire Santa Ana Canyon corridor can safely accommodate the accumulative population growth that results from all approved proposed and anticipated projects combined. The concern is particularly important in areas affected by wildfire hazards.
Before pursuing Pro housing designation or adopting additional policies intended to accelerate residential development we respectfully request that the city
1-evaluate cumulative traffic and evacuation impacts throughout east Anaheim and Anaheim Hills 2-demonstrate consistency with Anaheim, safety element and wildfire planning policies 3-provide residence with meaningful opportunities to participate in decisions that will permanently serve Anaheim‘s future

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.
Mayor and Members of the Anaheim City Council,
I understand the city is considering submitting for Prohousing designation.
Please take the necessary time to review the parameters of this designation carefully.
California’s Prohousing Designation Program
(https://www.hcd.ca.gov/planning-and-research/prohousing ) incentivizes
local governments to streamline development. However, critics and policy experts highlight notable drawbacks: it can bypass vital local input and safety reviews, fails to directly force physical construction, and awards points for loosely related criteria that don't always accelerate housing supply.
Here is a breakdown of the main criticisms:
1. Weak Direct Impact on Actual Housing
The designation provides state funding preferences and priority processing, but it does not actually build units or force private developers to break ground. A policy analysis from the Terner Center notes that some jurisdictions struggle with market-rate labor and material costs, making the designation ineffective at truly boosting housing supply without deep subsidies.
2. Bypass of Community Input & Safety Reviews
For many residents, particularly in hazard-prone areas like Anaheim Hills,the biggest negative is that "prohousing" policies often force cities to fast-track dense development in zones facing severe wildfire risks or traffic bottlenecks. Critics argue these top-down state pushes disregard vital resident feedback and community-specific safety constraints.
3. Flawed Point and Scoring Systems
The California Department of Housing and Community Development scores jurisdictions across various policy categories to grant the status.
However, the Terner Center's evaluation concluded that several qualifying criteria (such as adopting universal design ordinances, reducing alternative transportation barriers, or counting ADU policies twice) do not explicitly or directly increase a city's housing production.
4. Financial Strain on Municipal Budgets
Some local municipalities and advocacy groups have pushed back because adding large volumes of rental housing or affordable units doesn't
inherently expand a city's local property tax base. Because new residential units bring increased infrastructural demands (schools, roads, utilities) but generate less revenue, existing homeowners often worry they will shoulder the burden of rising municipal expenses down the road.
I respectfully ask the City to explain why it would pursue California’s Prohousing Designation when significant concerns about traffic, parking, infrastructure, and evacuation safety remain unresolved.
This is not a question of whether Anaheim should build housing. It is a question of why the City would encourage even greater density before demonstrating that our roads, infrastructure, and emergency evacuation systems can safely support the growth already approved.
The City has already prepared studies, but independent CEQA counsel identified serious deficiencies in the City’s own analyses, including inconsistencies with Anaheim’s adopted evacuation plans and failures to adequately account for cumulative impacts.

East Anaheim and Anaheim Hills are located in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, where evacuation is a matter of life and death. Residents have already experienced the realities of wildfire and gridlock. Seeking Prohousing Designation and state funding to encourage even greater density while these unresolved safety risks remain is irresponsible.
Public safety must come before development incentives.
Anaheim should not be seeking state incentives to encourage additional density when it has yet to demonstrate that the growth already approved can be safely accommodated.
Please do not submit for this designation, retain your power and support your constituents.

The City would further commit itself to a framework that prioritizes housing production above other critical community considerations such as traffic, parking, infrastructure , PUBLIC SAFETY, and quality of life.Anaheim has already demonstrated substantial housing production. If the City is meeting or exceeding its housing obligations, residents deserve a clear explanation of why additional Prohousing commitments are necessary and what public benefits justify the potential loss of local planning flexibility.
The issue before us is not whether Anaheim should build housing. The issue is whether Anaheim should continue increasing density without first proving that our roads, parking supply, infrastructure, and EVACUATION SYSTEMS can safely support the cumulative growth that has already been approved.

Hello,
I bought my house in Anaheim Hills back in 1993. I was so thrilled to be able to afford a home here especially since I was a single mom with a disabled daughter. Living here, I always felt safe and comfortable. But as the years went by, I noticed that this area is more congested and the traffic is getting worse. I believe in progress but not if it jeopardizes the safety of the residents living here in this area. It is a tragedy waiting to happen whenever there’s a fire and the Santa Ana winds flare up. Knowing that there’s a push to build so many new housings really frightens me because that means the safety of this neighborhood is being disregarded and the residents’ voices need to be heard. Please represent our voices and stop this expansion of new housings.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Candelaria

As I write this email I'm pretty sure anaheim council will do whatever they please no matter what the residents want.
So this is likely a waste of my time.
We don't need more housing. You guys already surpassed the housing requirement set by CA and shoved even more development above what was required.
The citizens of anaheim deserve the right to have the very tiny amounts of breathing room left. Stop trying to turn Orange County into a rat hole that LA is. Stop lining your pockets at the expense of the citizens of this city. Stop taking kick backs behind closed doors.
None of you are there to make a positive change. No one is fooled.
We have been saying no to more housing but you guys keep shoving. No representation for the people. You all must not believe in God or karma.
TLDR: NO to more housing if it wasn't obvious.

Hi,
I am a concerned resident of anaheim hills.
I know there is a big push to add housing in so cal.
BUT I URGE SOMEONE TO THINK THIS THROUGH BETTER!
How about adding in roads and infrastructure to support more people and cars in our extreme fire hazard area that is already overcrowded?
Nothing has been done for over 20 years here. Do the right thing here! Prepare, then build if you must! But
building and adding more people and cars into this area is truly irresponsible if you don’t add infrastructure first! Sincerely,
