Anaheim Hills Shopping Hub OKd
Plans for the east Anaheim Hills’ largest shopping center have been approved and will include four shopping complexes, a business center and hotel.
The City Council approved the project, 4 to 0, Tuesday night after a public hearing.
Construction of the Anaheim Hills Festival, planned for 85 undeveloped acres at the southwest corner of Santa Ana Canyon and Roosevelt roads, will begin this summer. Developers hope to complete it by the fall of 1991.
The $100-million project will offer Anaheim Hills residents convenient shopping and the city an estimated $2 million in annual sales tax revenues, said Bradley A. Geier of the Trammel Crow Co., which is developing the area.
One resident spoke at Tuesday’s public hearing about concerns with some parts of the plan, such as rooftop equipment and 24-hour security.
But Patrick Pepper, chairman of the Anaheim Hills Citizens Coalition, told the council that his group approved of the project.
“It is a welcome addition to the East Hills area and will definitely be an asset to our community,” Pepper said.
